Chapter 309 Being Punished
Aurora’s heart was pounding, but seeing the man’s unwavering expression and the crowd around them, she knew Nevaeh had no chance of escape.
“Shouldn’t we go back to the villa and see if there’s any evidence left?” Aurora thought David was capable of handling it, and waiting here wouldn’t do any good.
“Okay.” Sion nodded immediately and hurried with Aurora towards the villa.
When they arrived, two guards were still standing watch outside.
Sion motioned for Aurora to enter. “Go take a look.”
Aurora tugged at her combat jacket sleeves and followed him inside. She had only taken a quick glance before leaving earlier; she hadn’t expected such an exquisite environment inside.
It was quite ridiculous that Nevaeh could live so comfortably while on the run.
Aurora’s eyes burned with anger as she turned to Sion beside her. He had been so good to her all these years. Sion noticed her strange gaze but didn’t have time to ask before hearing David shout from outside.
“We caught someone!”
Nevaeh was brought in by two guards with Cameron following closely behind; they must have intercepted her together. Sion stepped out and looked at this disheveled woman in front of him, feeling like he never really knew who she was anymore as a dark cloud descended over his face.
Aurora followed shortly after, giving Nevaeh a cold glance before walking straight towards her.
“Let me go!” Nevaeh struggled against their grip; it took effort just for her to lift up her head. “Who allows you to treat me like this?”
“Behave yourself!” The guard showed no mercy as he pressed down on Nevaeh again.
“Ahh!… Get off me!”
Aurora glared at herh with icy eyes that held some harshness in their tone. “Nevaeh, you’re truly despicable!”
Only then did Nevaeh raise up her head. Hatred flashed across those eyes that scanned each person present until finally settling on Aurora.
“Aurora! It’s all your fault! Why don’t you just die already? If you’d died earlier I wouldn’t have been found out by them!”
“It’s all because of you…”
As Nevaeh spoke, she went crazy and broke free from the security guards’ restraints, rushing towards Aurora. It was unclear where she got her strength from, but the guards were unable to hold her back in time. Aurora never expected her to make such a sudden move. Without any warning, she scratched a long cut on Aurora’s arm.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Nevaeh, what are you doing!”
Sion slapped Nevaeh in the face to stop her. The clear sound of a slap made everyone present pause for a moment.
“Aurora, are you okay?” asked Sion. He immediately took Aurora’s hand and carefully examined it, his eyes full of concern. A clear red scratch was seen on Aurora’s hand, and a faint blood color seeped out from the broken skin.
Cameron took a few steps towards Aurora and his face darkened. He asked, “Aurora?”
“I’m Okay.”
Though she said so, she still couldn’t help but frown at the wound on her arm. Tempers were high in Cameron. He turned around and kicked Nevaeh, saying, “Cause everything you’ve done, you deserve more death. You’re too proud now.” His voice was cold.
Nevaeh was down on her knees, looking like a rapid dog. But even the slightest sympathy could not be evoked in Aurora’s heart now. She was not a saint, so it was impossible for her to feel pity towards someone who had repeatedly tried to take her life, let alone Nevaeh who even intended to harm her daughter.
Nevaeh took a moment to recover before lifting her head in disbelief and looking at the two men standing next to Aurora.
“How dare you hit me?!”
Sion, who was the person she once truly loved, actually laid hands on her.
Cameron snorted in disgust and said, “I never hurt women, but you’re not a human.”
“Nevaeh.” Sion looked at her with guarded eyes, even showing obvious disgust in his gaze. “All of this is your own doing!”
No matter the reason, she must bear the consequences of her actions.
Sion asked the bodyguards beside them, “Strap her down.”
Nevaeh stared blankly at the nobleman in front of her, even forgetting how to react until the bodyguard came over to pull her away. With red eyes, she shouted loudly, “You… you will all pay for this!”
“Shut up!”
Sion gave her another slap. Nevaeh’s once barely considered gentle face was now marked with blemishes, red hand prints clinging to disheveled hair and tear streaks. Paired with her crazed eyes, she looked like a complete mental patient.
“Why?!” Her murmuring voice gradually grew louder. “You should have died in the river five years ago!”
The burning sensation in the spot where Aurora was injured had subsided a bit, and at this moment, listening to her confessing the past with her own mouth, she surprisingly remained calm.
“Oh, it’s you! I should have thought of that earlier! You want to kill me but it’s not that easy!”
Aurora took a few steps forwards and said, “I came back cause I’ll make you pay! Now, it’s time for an end.”
Sion intense gaze was fixed on Nevaeh, as if it could transform into an ice blade and pierce her directly. He saw all the pain that woman caused him back then, yet he could still put on a show in front of her with false sincerity. It was laughable how ignorant he was to believe her.
Sion couldn’t help but feel heartbroken when he thought about the despair that Aurora had experienced.
“Why don’t you move?” he sounded tough, “Take her to the police station.”
After speaking, he glanced at Aurora and said, “Aurora, let’s go. Don’t mind this lunatic.”
Aurora looked at Nevaeh coldly for a moment, snorted, turned around and walked away. Sion and Cameron followed suit.
“No… no! You can’t go!” Nevaeh realized that she had no chance of turning the situation around, so she struggled with all her might, pushing aside the bodyguards and rushing towards the two people in front of her.
Suddenly, she stumbled and fell heavily, with the sharp edges of the steps below her. When she looked up again, her face had been covered in ghastly blood.
“My face…!”
No matter how much she screamed behind them, the people who left didn’t look back at her again.
