Chapter 736
Aurora had already let her anger get the better of her, so she was not bothered to watch her words.
She said through gritted teeth, "Am I wrong? She hit on you right after she dumped my brother. Forget
about my brother letting his infatuation for her get the better of him. But Marshall, how could you also
get bewitched by this woman?"
Aurora naturally had a powerful voice. Now that she was speaking loudly with a high pitch, she instantly
caught the attention of everyone present.
Marshall darkened his expression.
"Did you not cause enough trouble on the set previously? Now you're here spouting nonsense and
ruining other people's reputations. Is this how Madam Crosby raised you?" he said.
Aurora's face fell, "Everything I said is the truth! Right now, the Jewell family doesn't see her as their
own, so she's nothing in the social circle. She's deliberately seducing you because she wants to
reenter the circle. Don't let her fool you, Marshall!"
Stella watched how exasperated Aurora looked.
'I suddenly feel... Rather pleased. I'll feel sad if I don't let Aurora get a taste of being loathed by
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomeone she likes,' she thought.
And so, she gently shook Marshall's arm and said drunkenly, "It's so noisy. I want to go home."
Aurora saw red. She went up and shoved Stella, and Stella fell to the side she got shoved.
'According to my calculations, I should fall onto the floor mat. It may look like a bad fall, but it won't be
too painful,' thought Stella.
However, before she could touch the ground, someone held her up by her armpits just as she bent her
knees. She was speechless.
'Who’s this dumbass holding me up?! I haven't even properly demonstrated my acting skills yet!' she
thought.
"Are you alright?"
A husky voice sounded next to Stella's ear. It was tinged with an unnoticeable hint of tease, causing
Stella to fall silent.
It was not anyone else, but Leighton who had seen her doing a standing split pose outside just now.
Tm torn between standing and kneeling. This is so fucking awkward,' she thought.
Since he did not expose her, she could only continue acting, "...I'm fine."
Marshall did not manage to catch Stella. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw she did not fall.
Then, he turned to Aurora with an icy expression.
"Get out!"
Aurora was in disbelief, "Marshall, you're throwing me out?"
Marshall said displeasedly, "The Aurora I know is innocent and straightforward. She isn't how you are
right now-unable to tell right from wrong, arrogant, and bossy! I don't want to see you right now, so get
out!"
Aurora's eyes turned red as if she were about to cry.
'I just didn't want her to touch you, and I didn't even use much force! Marshall, why would you rather
believe her than me? Did she bewitch you?"
"Get out!" Marshall was not bothered to explain further. He merely continued icily, "Don't let me say it
the fourth time!"
Aurora tightly clenched her fists. Her eyes were bloodshot.
Marshall stopped looking at her after he finished speaking. He bent down and took Stella from
Leighton's arms.
"Did you bump into anywhere?" he asked in a low voice.
Aurora watched as Marshall lowered his head. His eyes were tender as he spoke to Stella in a low
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmvoice. She was so furious her fingers trembled.
Aurora saw the piping hot teapot on the table by the door. Suddenly, she went up and grabbed the
boiling pot and splashed its contents at Stella.
The look in Marshall's eyes abruptly changed; he shielded Stella in his arms. However, the expected
scalding feeling did not come. Then, they heard a shriek, "Leighton!"
The boiling water Aurora had splashed got blocked by Leighton. Leighton's manager had turned pale
with fear. He immediately went up to him and helped him take off his jacket.
Leighton wore a racing suit. Since the outfit was waterproof and he shielded the water with his back,
most got onto the shirt, but some had gotten into it from the back of his collar. After he took off his shirt,
they saw a patch of redness on his neck.
The sudden situation caused an uproar in the room. Aurora stood at her spot. Then, she belatedly
realized she had gotten herself in trouble.
She loosened her grip, and the teapot fell to the ground. Some called for an ambulance, while others
contacted the hospital. Meanwhile, someone pulled Leighton to the washroom to run his scald under
cold water. The scene was a mess, so no one noticed her.
Aurora paled and took a few steps back. Then, she ran back to her private lounge.
Stella had long given up on pretending to be drunk. While it was true she intended to provoke Aurora,
she had underestimated her madness.
