Chapter 1318: Chapter 1318: There’s an Opportunity to Leave Right Now—Do You Want It?

Sixteen years ago, the Mafia intended to use Balthazar Shaw to obtain research results, so they set their sights on Isabella Parker.

When the Mafia kidnapped Isabella, Aurelia Shaw was with Isabella.

No one knew about this, except the people involved, Aurelia Shaw and Balthazar Shaw.

Rumors spread online that Balthazar Shaw betrayed the country to save her, but in fact, it happened twice.

Aurelia also remembered Alaric Wood.

She really did know Alaric, and it was during that kidnapping that they met.

Alaric didn’t deceive her.

It’s just that Aurelia was too young at the time, and the shock was too great, causing her to forget what happened then.

Vespera Bennett noticed Aurelia’s pale face and worried that something might happen to her, "Hey, Aurelia, are you alright? Don’t worry about what’s going on outside; it might not be true. Things that haven’t been verified yet could be concocted nonsense because of your sensitive identity..."

Vespera’s attitude towards Aurelia suddenly improved.

Aurelia didn’t notice this; she interrupted Vespera’s words, saying, "This is true."

"What?" Vespera was stunned, not understanding why she suddenly blurted that out.

"I want to be alone for a while."

Aurelia returned to the dormitory, and the others immediately sensed her unusual demeanor, instantly quieting down, though they didn’t know the reason.

The room was filled with a stifling atmosphere.

At this moment, Vespera walked in.

Someone wanted to ask what had happened, but Vespera shook her head at her, whispering, "None of you are allowed to make a sound today. Minimize your presence as if you don’t exist in this dormitory."

The person: "..."

Can I still breathe?

Looking at Vespera’s gloomy face, she didn’t dare to ask, certain that something had happened between those two outside.

...

At dawn, Aurelia was still wide awake.

She suddenly sat up, leaped out of bed, her eyes cold and resolute. She had to go out! She had to see Mason Nightshade!

Vespera watched as Aurelia dashed out and followed after her in concern, "Where are you going? What are you planning to do?"

Aurelia didn’t speak.

Vespera grasped her arm, "Don’t be impulsive."

Aurelia looked at Vespera, "You should be pleased if something happened to me. We’re not close enough to truly care about each other’s well-being, right?"

Vespera’s fingers loosened slightly, then tightened again, "You promised to help me get out; if something happens to you, how will you help me get out?"

"There’s a chance to get out right now, do you want it?" Aurelia asked with a curved smile.

"No!" Vespera rejected outright; she understood what the chance meant.

Is she crazy? This is a prison, heavily guarded. Does she really think she can just storm out?

"If you don’t want it, then don’t block me. Don’t hold it against me if I don’t fulfill my promise to you later," Aurelia said as she withdrew her arm and walked out.

The door opened, and a uniformed guard stood outside.

Aurelia was startled.

Vespera’s heart raced; had the guard noticed something unusual?

The guard’s gaze swept over Aurelia, then glanced at Vespera, "What’s with all the noise? Aurelia, someone wants to see you."

"See me? Who?"

Is it Mason Nightshade? Aurelia wondered hopefully.

"You’ll find out once you go; what’s with all the questions."

Aurelia followed the guard, who pushed open the door and stepped aside, "Go in."

Aurelia frowned, hesitantly walked in.

She saw Adrian Cooper sitting inside.

This place seemed totally out of sync with his aura; the simple, dark environment couldn’t overshadow his refined majesty. He looked at Aurelia, his eyes filled with gentle amusement, yet Aurelia felt no warmth.
