Chapter 95
Third Person Perspective
Evan ruffled Liz’s hair, his tone gentle yet carrying a hint of seriousness: “Because, Auntie isn’t having an easy time right now. She wants to live quietly for a while and doesn’t want others to recognize her. You’re a smart little girl, aren’t you?”
Liz tilted her head to think for a moment, then nodded, “Oh, I understand. Like those princesses in fairy tales who temporarily hide their identities, right?”
Evan smiled: “Yes, exactly right.”
Liz proudly lifted her chin: “Then I’m her little knight, and I need to help keep her secret!”
Evan softly agreed: “Okay, little knight.”
But a deeper meaning surfaced in his eyes.
This was only one of the reasons. There was another reason he couldn’t tell Liz yet.
On the other side, after Ferris returned alone to the familiar house, he couldn’t help but start smoking again.
Perhaps because he’d been too exhausted lately, he had caught a cold and fever. After standing on the balcony for just a while, he couldn’t stop coughing, and his head felt dizzy too.
He couldn’t help but wonder–was Aurora feeling this miserable that day too?
Ferris returned to the living room and lay down on the sofa where Aurora used to sit frequently, wanting to rest for a while.
At this moment, a phone call came in.
Ferris thought it was Aurora and quickly grabbed his phone, but when he looked, it was actually Ashley.
He answered the call somewhat impatiently, and Ashley’s voice came through with a slight sob: “Ferris, please help me. Those things online are all deliberate
rumors.”
Things online?
Ferris didn’t pay much attention to entertainment news. He asked patiently: “What happened?”
Today, someone sent lawyer’s letters to me and the company, saying my newly developed moongrass stabilizer is plagiarized.”
‘And someone is spreading rumors online that I used to rely on plagiarism. I really don’t know what to do now.”
After listening, Ferris couldn’t help but frown.
“Got it.”
Ferris hung up and then sent a text to Silver Moon’s legal department, asking them to deal with the rumor–mongers.
He didn’t look at the online news and had no interest in doing so.
So he didn’t know that what was written online was about how Ashley had relied on sponsors for resources since birth, how she had climbed up through rich men after going abroad, and how she had plagiarized and exploited one plagiarizer after another.
He also didn’t know that the rumor–monger Ashley spoke of was Aurora’s friend Cynthia.
Cynthia herself was in the media industry and had personally written about Ashley’s rise to power, which quickly shot to the top of the trending searches.
She just wanted to vent for her best friend!

However, in less than half an hour, all the trending topics were removed.
Aurora’s POV
After finishing dinner with Evan, I was preparing to go to the studio when I received a call from the police station asking me to bail out Cynthia.
I still didn’t know what had happened and hurried to the police station.
Upon entering the police station, the first thing I saw was Ashley, dressed elegantly and beautifully, sitting in the waiting area with her friend Clara.
Clara frowned at me, her eyes showing obvious hostility.
I found it strange because although Ashley and I had never gotten along, Clara had never shown me such sharp attitude before–most of the time she just flattered Ashley.
Seeing me approach, Ashley stood up and came in front of me, taking the initiative to attack.
“Aurora, I know you hate me, but how could you have your friend spread rumors and slander me online?”
“Do you know how hard it’s been for me to get where I am now?”
“She almost ruined me!!”
Clara immediately stepped forward: “Ashley, why waste words with someone so immoral like her?”
“Her friend should be left to rot in jail–that’s the only way they’ll learn the price of spreading rumors!”
I roughly understood what was happening. “If anything happens to Cynthia, I definitely won’t let you two get away with it!”
I walked toward the bail area, but hadn’t taken two steps when Ashley’s voice rang out behind me again.
“Aurora, arresting Cynthia wasn’t my decision–it was Ferris who had it done.”
