Chapter 285 You're Way More HandsThan Her Boyfriend!

"You are the big star!" Aurora exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Rowena.

Rowena forced a smile, then said, "You can callRowena."

"You look so young and pretty," Aurora said.

"That's so sweet. What's your name?" Rowena asked.

"My nis Aurora Ryan. Just callAurora."

"Hello, Aurora."

After Rowena and Aurora finished chatting, Rowena's eyes unintentionally met Cormac's. Cormac quickly said to

Aurora, "Aurora, Miss Blaire is very busy. We better go." "Oh," Aurora replied.

"See you later." Cormac nodded politely to Rowena, then took Aurora's hand and entered the elevator, urgently

pressing the elevator door button.

The last tthey met, they could still chat a bit, but this time, they were like strangers.

Rowena found one thing strange: she had never met Cormac's wife, but Cormac seemed to have a very good

relationship with Aurora. After entering the elevator, Aurora looked at Cormac and directly asked, "Uncle, Rowena

is your ex-girlfriend, right?"

"What are you talking about?" Cormac was startled by Aurora's question, "Who told you that?"

Only Alaric and Stellan knew about their relationship, and they would never tell Aurora. He wondered how Aurora

had found out.

"I guessed it. I'm in middle school now, not a little kid." Aurora continued, "Actually, | guessed it last tat the

entertainment center, but you were in a particularly bad mood then. | didn't want to rub salt in your wound and

didn't ask." Not wanting to rub salt in his wound?

Aurora's words left Cormac speechless.

"I must have guessed right. | could tell." Aurora analyzed seriously, "You don't think you can give her happiness

now, so you lied about being married, right?"

"You're just a little rascal. Where did you learn all this?"

"I just told you, I'm in middle school. Nowadays, even elementary school kids understand these things about

dating." Aurora thought Cormac was too outdated. She had figured it out; what was the big deal? "Actually, you

two are a great match. You're way more handsthan her current boyfriend," Aurora added.

Cormac couldn't help but smile bitterly. Then he tapped Aurora's head lightly. "You've watched too many TV

s. Back to reality, she and | have broken up, and she has a boyfriend. | can only wish her well, no other

thoughts, understand?" "Coward, wimp!" Aurora said disdainfully.

Cormac was truly speechless. Kids these days were really something; he was no match for them.

In the following days, they each did their own jobs, staying busy.

Far East International had completed all the procedures for acquiring the jewelry company, and Todd was now

truly riding high.

"Mr. Knight, Todd is here," Silas reported. "If you don't want to see him, | can send him away now."

"No need." Alaric thought that they had to meet sooner or later, and if the Storm family's bankruptcy was related

to the Vale family, the sooner, the better. "Let him in."

After Silas left, it felt like only a few minutes before loud, boisterous laughter was heard outside the office.

"Mr. Knight, it's an honor to see you," Todd said as he walked in. "I didn't expect that | would be welchere

again, but to my surprise, we met smoothly. I'm truly flattered."

"If | refuse someone as shameless as you once, you will ctwice. My tis precious; | don't want to waste

it," Alaraic voiced.

"Mr. Knight, your insults are as direct as ever, but I'm in such a good mood that even your insults sound

pleasant," Todd said.

"Of course, when you're in a good mood, even something that stinks smells sweet," Alaric said. "Mr. Vale, it's rare

that you completed something independently without Stuart's help. Your happiness is understandable." Todd's

face changed slightly at these words. Alaric's bluntness was truly unbearable!

"I know you're in a bad mood now, so I'll keep my words brief." Todd placed an invitation on Alaric's desk.

"This is an invitation to the International Jewelry Exhibition. Only selected jewelry companies and members of

the jewelry committee are eligible to attend. | thought you should definitely be there."

"Alright, I'll take the invitation." Alaric accepted the invitation without hesitation. "I need to see what kind of

filthy work has replaced the designs that originally belonged to Nexus Innovations."

Todd understood the implication but pretended not to. "Then it's settled. Mr. Knight, being a prominent figure,

the organizers originally wanted to invite you, but considering your recent loss in the acquisition, they didn't

want to offend you. So | came, daring to ask if you will attend alone or with Mrs. Knight. | need to inform the

organizers."

"I'll be attending with my wife," Alaric replied.

"Okay, | understand. Mr. Knight, since you're busy, I'll be leaving." Todd then left.

After leaving Nexus Innovations, Todd was so pleased he could barely contain his grin. Once in the car, he

couldn't help but boast, "I'm increasingly convinced that Alaric is all talk. How do you fellows all see it?"

He directed this at Ambrose and Bill. "Why does everyone praise him to the skies? To me, he's a pushover.

Arizona is about to change hands soon."

"Todd, the acquisition just succeeded, don't get carried away," Bill immediately reminded him.

"Don't worry, Bill, | know. | won't get too cocky." Todd was already grinning ear to ear.

He went on, "Ambrose, you've done well this time. You can continue taking developer jobs in Arizona. Compared

to Alaric, we're still on the steam. We need to quickly grow strong in Arizona and change its hands

completely!" "Thank you, Todd," Ambrose replied.

"Alaric will attend the jewelry exhibition with Stellan. I'll get to feast my eyes again. | can't get her face out of my

mind. She's so beautiful, and | can't wait to have a taste."

Ambrose's eyes darkened, filled with a murderous aura. He certainly wanted to grow strong in Arizona, but only

for himself, not with Todd!
