Avrora sat on the rattan chair and, although she no longer looked as pathetic as before, she still did not appear radiant and all of her pores could be seen clearly under the bright lights of the racecourse. Her already fair skin looked even paler and her gray eyes were so dark that they seed like even light could not penetrate through them.
Wen Xinya held her gaze unrestrainedly.
Under the bright lights, her eyes seed to glow like stars in the sky.
Avrora stared at her closely and barked in Chinese. “Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to like this?”
Wen Xinya burst into laughter. Although the bright lights concealed her features, her rosy lips could still be seen. “Miss Avrora, you’d better not use your Russian aristocratic rules on , because...” She suddenly inched closer towards Avrora and continued in an icy cold tone, “I won’t fall for it.”
Avrora’s heart sank and she subconsciously held her breath. Wen Xinya’s gold mask shone beneath the lights, making her look extrely daunting. Flustered, she yelled, “Atrocious!”
With a smile on her face, Wen Xinya returned to her seat opposite Avrora and picked up the glass of fruit juice on the table before sipping it nonchalantly. She was not at all threatened by Avrora’s authority.
Avrora’s face grew sullen and she said, “Miss Bella, I respect you because you’re Rex’s plus one. However, I won’t spare you for provoking and challenging my authority ti and ti again.”
Wen Xinya placed the glass of fruit juice onto the table and stared at Avrora coldly as if she were a clown. “Miss Avrora, feel free to speak what’s on your mind. You don’t have to beat around the bush. I’m telling you, those words don’t have any effect on .”
Avrora clenched her fists tightly. “Miss Bella, have you any idea how many special privileges and power we possess as an aristocratic family in Russia? However, not everyone can enjoy such a privilege.
“Our family has a rich history and we’ve only drafted three of such docunts. All of the beneficiaries of our docunts are outstanding Russian individuals. This docunt is the Moville Family’s pride and a symbol of our power and status.
“Miss Bella, I know you went through painstaking ans to obtain this docunt, all because of Rex. You want to claim credit for it, but giving the rights to this docunt to a foreigner is sothing that has never happened in Russia before. Although... Rex has an extraordinary position in the upper-class society, he’s still Chinese and he doesn’t have the right to enjoy the special privileges ntioned in this docunt.”
At this critical juncture, she had no choice but to bear with it and tell Wen Xinya about the pros and cons of the docunt, in hopes that she would hand it over.
Wen Xinya naturally understood that she made sense. However, it was impossible for her to hand it over. “I admit that Miss Avrora is right, but what have these got to do with ? Since it’s already been sealed with the official stamp, Duke Moville has to accept it regardless of how much he refuses to.”
Avrora imdiately grew flustered and she shrieked. “Do you still not understand? My grandpa is not going to let a Chinese person take this docunt away from us because he won’t allow it. He will never let our reputation be stained. Hence, you must think clearly. This is not a docunt that you can take away just because you want to. There is a huge price to pay.”
Wen Xinya said composedly, “Miss Avrora, you don’t have to try and frighten . I know you’re just trying to take the docunt back so that you won’t be punished by Duke Moville. However, I’m very clear that Rex can afford to own this docunt.”
A simple-minded person would have been fooled by Avrora, but that was not the case for Wen Xinya. So what if Si Yiyan would be stuck in a knotty situation? Duke Moville’s reputation and power were at stake, and the docunt was enough to exchange for so benefits.
Avrora grimaced, but she soon returned to normal. “Miss Bella, do you really think Rex will marry you out of gratitude because you obtained the docunt for him through underhanded ans? Hahaha... you must be dreaming.”
Wen Xinya pursed her lips and appeared extrely stern. “Miss Avrora, what do you an?”
It was not her first ti hearing those words from Avrora. Although she just took it that Avrora was acting out of jealousy, she now had a different opinion.
Appearing extrely smug, Avrora said derisively, “My grandpa has already agreed to let Rex marry , and I’m the one who’s going to beco Lucifer’s matriarch in the future. I’m going to be Rex’s wife, not you... he will abandon you regardless of how much you do for him.”
She reckoned that Duke Moville was already discussing the matter with Lucifer. Although it was a severe matter, it would not pose a problem once she married Rex.
However... Duke Moville would definitely not spare her for using the family’s power and reputation as a stake. That was why she went through painstaking ans to try and get the docunt back.
Astonishnt was written all over Wen Xinya’s face. She did not expect that to be Duke Moville’s intentions.
Although wealthy families often arranged their children to marry each other for the sake of greater wealth, benefits and resources without consideration for the feelings of the individuals, those royals often put themselves on a pedestal and were extrely racially prejudiced. How could they be willing to marry their precious daughter to a Chinese man?
She then thought about everything that happened in the room previously.
Duke Moville first suggested a drug dealership, only to be turned down by Si Yiyan. Later on, he then tried to be a diator and resolve the conflict between Si Yiyan and the Ivanov Family. However, Si Yiyan brushed him off.
The drug industry was a very lucrative one and the Ivanov Family held power and authority. Yet, Si Yiyan turned both down. Hence, Duke Moville resorted to getting Avrora involved, after which the latter started the topic about tea-tasting.
Si Yiyan was extrely powerful and ostentatious in Russia. It was little wonder that Duke Moville would be tempted to marry Avrora off to him, for there were way too benefits that Duke Moville could reap from the marriage.
