NOVEL NEXT Chapter 313: Don't Mess with Me
Mason Nightshade's eyes turned cold, a sharp frost-like gleam flashed, and a dangerous curve lifted at the corners of his mouth, "If someone is deliberately courting death, let's give them a surprise."
His scrutinizing gaze landed behind Grayson Quinn, who shuddered.
"Go undercover at Clan Johnson's company."
"Why, Mason?" Grayson howled.
Mason chuckled lightly, "If you don't want to follow Junia Simpson back to the troop, then finish the task I've assigned you and reel in the big fish of Clan Johnson."
"..." A threat! A blatant threat!
——
When Mason came downstairs, Aurelia Shaw was sitting on the sofa scrolling through her iPad. The video she had Hadrian Turner release last night was now the top trending topic, with the second one being Eliza Fletcher's name.
Although there was no definitive evidence proving it was Eliza Fletcher, well... the internet never needs definitive proof to stir the pot. Once there's a direction, people are bound to follow. Besides, for Eliza Fletcher to reach her current status, she's undoubtedly offended many people.
Buzz buzz——
The phone on the table rang.
Aurelia glanced up, chuckling softly.
Mason watched her captivating smile, his heart stirred, rolling his throat as he stood there, not moving forward.
The first call, unanswered, the second call rang... still unanswered.
He thought, when she refused to take his call that night, did she also have this smug little look?
As the third call was about to go to voicemail, she finally answered slowly, her clear voice tinged with an enticing laziness, "What is it?"
"Aurelia!" Eliza Fletcher's furious howl echoed, audible from several meters away, "The video online, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"Ha, I really didn't think you'd be so despicable, trying to destroy me with this method. Let me tell you, even if my reputation is ruined, I'll drag you down with me. You've broken the rules of this industry and still want to stay untarnished? Think again!"
Aurelia waited for her to finish before asking unhurriedly, "And how exactly do you plan to drag me down? I don't recall having any handle you could use against me, or are you planning to consult my good sister, Eleanor Spencer, again?"
"You actually know about Isabel Bennett?" Eliza was slightly surprised, but quickly remembered Isabel said Aurelia stole her boyfriend, so it seemed this was also intentionally aimed at Isabel.
She sneered, "Isabel doesn't know about this. Someone as pure and innocent as Isabel isn't suitable for knowing such things. Aurelia, you've been ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust! Just wait until your reputation is in shambles too."
A bit dizzy.
Aurelia turned sideways on the sofa, her seaweed-like long hair draped over her shoulders, spreading out at her waist. Like a Siren, her half-closed peach blossom eyes, even the act of grabbing a tissue to wipe her nose, was so charmingly elegant.
Her melodious voice trickled out, "Are you going to use the surveillance you installed in my room?"
Mason's pupils shrank!
Eliza also opened her mouth wide in shock, "You... how do you know!" Could it be that she...
"Consider it my kind gesture to warn you ahead of time, so you don't disgrace yourself by leaking someone else's video." Aurelia chuckled, "Do you now consider this method despicable? Are you aware that this method could ruin someone? Are you scared now? When you had those pinhole cameras installed in my room, didn't you think of this?"
"I warned you not to provoke me, the consequences are beyond what you can handle. That little thing online, your public relations can handle it without leaving a blemish. But... from now on, stay away from me."
