Chapter 90
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Aurora was taken aback. âDidnât she tell you?â she asked her brother. She then had an idea and said, âShe told me she wanted to go to the restroom when we arrived. So, I talked to the security guard at the entrance and came in. Iâm not sure where she went.â
Keeganâs face darkened. âYou better tell me the truth, Aurora. Where is she?â
Aurora was so terrified by his gaze that she was trembling inside. âIâm telling you the truth. She went to the restroom. You can check the surveillance if you donât believe me. Why would I lie about this?â she said in a squeaky voice.
âWhat did I tell you before coming here?â Keegan asked, suppressing his anger.
Aurora was unhappy âI followed your instructions and brought her in here. Sheâs an adult, for goodness sake. I canât stop her from running away even if I try. Maybe she was mad that I had stolen her dress and ran away as revenge!â
âUnlike you, sheâs not that narrowâminded,â Keegan said furiously. He was clearly distraught.
âDid she brainwash you, Keegan? How could you trust an outsider over your own sister?â Aurora said bitterly, but Keegan just gave her a cold look which terrified her. Just as she was going to explain herself, Keegan left without a word.
She secretly let out a sigh of relief and began to wonder where Stella was. She asked one of her friends to check out the restroom, and the door was open. She should have come out by then. But, Stella was not at the event, nor did she call Keegan to complain about it. Aurora thought that it was strange.
âHey, besties, guess what I heard?â As soon as Aurora sat down, one of her celebrity friends came over and started to gossip.
âWhat? Tell us!â The girls replied.
âI heard that the daughter of the Saun family almost died in the restroom.â
Aurora froze.
âWhich Saun family are we talking about?â someone asked.
âThere arenât many Saun families in Rivera. Iâm talking about the Saun family from the Fluteria Group.
Iâm sure Aurora is familiar with them. My dad told me that their family and the Kane family have good ties.â
In reality, the Saun family and the Kane family were not close. They were once friends, but the contact between the two families lessened after Jayleneâs father had passed away. Later along the road, it was understood that Jaylene was not in good health, and the family traveled abroad to go to doctors all year round. Naturally, they stopped keeping in touch altogether.
Other than the Moore family, the Saun family was one of the families that were comparable to the Kane family of Rivera.
That was why Aurora did not deny being close to the Saun family. She gracefully took a sip of her wine.
and said, âYes, weâre family friends. What did you say about Jaylene?â
âShe got an asthma attack in the restroom. She tried to open the door, but something was in the way.
She almost died. Fortunately, someone else was in that restroom with her. That person climbed out of the window to find help. The hotel is now in lockdown. One of my distant relatives is in charge of security here, so they told me about it.â
Auroraâs hands trembled. Why was Jaylene in the restroom? I didnât hear her when ! was in there. she thought to herself âThe person climbed out the window of the twelfth floor? Wow. Thinking about it makes my legs tremble. That woman is so courageous. But, why did she have to climb out the window? I mean, she could have just called someone on her phone.â
âIâm not too sure about the details, but I think sheâs also one of the guests here.â
âJaylene is the treasure of the Saun family. They would probably repay that woman greatly. Ugh. Why didnât I encounter such a thing?â
âOh, please. If you were in that situation, you would have run away the first chance you got.â
âScrew you!â
Everyone burst into laughter, but Aurora was feeling restless. She wanted to leave the place in a panic.
All I wanted to do was to scare Stella a little. Now that I almost cost someoneâs life, Keegan would never let me off so easily if he found out about this.â
