Chapter 1112
Aurora seemed to have grown a lot after the incident. Cordelia was a little relieved. "I'll talk to Keegan later and
have him arrange a suitable position for you," she said in a kind voice.
"Okay, Grandma," said Aurora. "Can I return to my place after getting the job?"
Cordelia plucked her tea leaves gently and said, "You've been living well here for some time now. Why do you
suddenly want to go back?"
"I'm used to living in my old place. Plus, it'll be more convenient for me to get to work from there. Your place is a
little far from the company, Grandma," Aurora said softly.
Cordelia sipped her tea and said, "I'll have Baldwin drive you to and back from work if you think it's too far. I'd be

Aurora observed Cordelia's face as she spoke. Seeing that her expression was soft, Aurora's courage grew a little.
"There's another reason I want to return to my home, Grandma. I want to bring Mom back. She had a cyst
removed a while ago, and she's not recovering well after the surgery. The place she's staying at is a little small. Her
environment is poor, and she can't sleep well. I'm worried about her wound, which is recovering very slowly. That's
why I want to bring her home and take care of her."
There was no expression on Cordelia's face. "Did your mother tell you those things?" She asked.
Aurora quickly shook her head and said, "She didn't even tell me about her surgery. I had to hear it from someone
else." While saying that, Aurora could not help but complain about her brother. "I know Keegan hates her, but how
could he not care when she underwent such a huge surgery?"
Cordelia put down her teacup and looked at Aurora. "Are you saying that your brother went too far when he kicked
your mom out of the house?"
Aurora hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "Well, Mom did give birth to us and raised us. Even though she
wasn't perfect, she did put in the work. Didn't you always teach us to respect our elders, Grandma?"
"Didn't I also teach you to only respect elders who deserve respect?"
Aurora choked up and was unable to speak for a long time.
"You keep saying that your brother is cruel and heartless, but have you ever wondered why?"
"Stella's the one to blame for that. Mom and Keegan started having conflicts when she came into the picture.
Keegan would never have treated Mom like that before he got married to that woman," said Aurora.
"You fool!" Cordelia slammed her hand on the table, and her teacup shook from the vibration.
Aurora was so shocked that she fell silent.

"Do you think your brother is an idiot? Is he someone who blindly follows others' words and can't distinguish right
from wrong? Ask yourself. Did Stella stop your brother from buying things for your mother all those years? Did she
emotionally alienate him from her? Didn't she and your brother give your mother and me the same courtesy during
the holidays when everyone got together?
"Stella did everything a daughter-in-law should do. But what did your mother do? Their marriage was a huge deal.
Yet, as a mother-in-law, your mom only woke up at 8 o'clock in the morning for her son's wedding! She didn't even
bother with the wedding preparations. Even your Aunt Cyrene was more excited than her!"
Aurora was a little dissatisfied. "Of course Aunt Cyrene was excited about their marriage. Stella isn't helpful to
Keegan's career, which put lesser pressure on Uncle Chandler's shoulder in competing with Keegan. Her being
happier than Mom was a given!" she whispered.
"Based on what you said, I shouldn't have agreed to let your dad marry your mom in the first place. The Crosby
family is nothing but a piece of shit, and that woman is not qualified to enter the Kane family," Cordelia laughed in
anger.
