Chapter 54 Legally Speaking 

Aurora’s heart was filled with nothing but sarcasm and indifference as she watched Celeste play her little game

The sight made her sick to her stomach

1/8 

Just last night, Celeste had mercilessly smashed an ashtray over her head, a cold, vicious look on her face. There hadn’t been a hint of worry, not even a sliver of remorse

She had left her to bleed out on the floor, uncaring if she lived or died. And now, here she was, pretending to be a concerned mother? It was all too fake, too much of an act

Aurora’s disdain was palpable, and it twisted at Celeste’s heart. She could feel the sharp pain in her chest as she spoke, Aurora, I swear I was wrong. Please, just forgive me one last time?” 

When Aurora didn’t respond, Barnett quickly stepped in

Aurora, Mom was impulsive yesterday, but she regrets it deeply. She couldn’t sleep all night, searching all over Orley for you. We’re family. Blood is thicker than water. Look at her- she’s terrified of losing you.” 

Aurora couldn’t bring herself to believe a single word

Barnett claimed they’d been searching all night for her, but they looked wellrested, without a trace of exhaustion or the weary

signs of a sleepless night. No, they must’ve slept just fine, only noticing she was missing at the crack of dawn

If she hadn’t woken up from the coma last night, if Daisy hadn’t. found her and carried her to safety, if she hadn’t been rushed to the hospital in time, Aurora knew the truth

That she’d be dead by now

Her survival was a stroke of luck, not due to any concern from the Elvador family

She didn’t even glance at them, her face impassive, giving no sign that she was affected

Barnett felt a cold shiver run through him at the sight of her indifference

He didn’t like thisthis dead silence, this empty look. He would rather she yelled, screamed, or threw a tantrum

At least then, he’d know she still cared about them

But now, with her cold, emotionless stance, it was as if she had shut them out entirely

Frustration bubbled in Barnett’s chest, and the words spilled out before he could stop them

What do you want from us? Tell us! How are we supposed to make things right? Since you got out, it’s been nothing but one. problem after another. The whole family has been nothing but

kind to you, forgiving, patientbut you’re never satisfied, always causing trouble. Why did Mom do you last night? Because you threw a tantrum at the banquet and humiliated us in front of everyone. You wouldn’t apologize to Bertha when we got home. You wouldn’t stop. You think you can just do whatever you want and not face the consequences? Mom did. nothing wrong. She actually gave you a good lesson!” 

Aurora’s lips curled into a faint sneer at Barnett’s tirade. Her eyes remained as cold as ever, her heart untouched by his words

She knew that arguing with them was pointless. Over the years, she had learned that, in this socalled family, the truth didn’t matter. They only cared about Bertha

No need to explain herself. It wouldn’t change anything

But Daisy, who had been eavesdropping just outside, could no longer stay silent

She stormed into the room, shoving past Celeste and Barnett, and walked right up to Aurora’s bed, slamming a thermos onto 

the table

Daisy’s chest heaved with emotion, her eyes bloodshot with anger and heartbreak

If it hadn’t been for the kind man who had helped them last night, Aurora would be dead by now. Dead from her injuries, or worse, from infection

She had woken up, and yet she hadn’t eaten a thing or drunk a drop of water. And now, the Elvador family wasn’t showing any concernno, they were here to berate her while she was still recovering

Was this how family acted

Daisy had held her tongue for as long as she could, but now her morals wouldn’t let her stand by and watch Aurora endure this kind of torment

No one with a sense of right and wrong could do nothing in the face of this

Do you even have a conscience?Daisy’s voice wavered with 

anger

Do you know what Aurora’s been through all these years? In prison, she was beaten black and blue. Did any of you visit. her? When your father lashed her, did anyone stop him? Mrs. Elvador, you’ve always favored Bertha, forcing your own daughter to mutilate herself to pay you back for your kindness. Can any of you even begin to understand what she went through? About what you just saidbeing kind, forgiving, patient with her? You know that’s nothing but a lie.” 

Celeste’s face drained of color. She opened her mouth as if to speak, but no words came out

Barnett stood frozen in shock, his eyes darting between Daisy and Aurora, but Aurora’s expression remained cold, unmoved

You claim to love her, to care for her. But every time she’s

hurt, what do you do? You blame her! You never ask what she’s been through, you never listen to her pain. You’ve never cared about her! You call this love? Beating her, forcing her into submission -this is how you show love?Daisy’s voice shook with emotion, her eyes red as she fought back tears

Aurora felt a warmth surge in her chest as she watched Daisy defend her, but it only made her heart ache

After all these years, only Daisy had ever truly cared for her

She gently patted Daisy’s hand, signaling for her to calm down

There was no need to get upset over people who didn’t deserve it

Celeste seemed to snap out of her stupor. Her voice trembled with a mix of guilt and defensiveness. How can you say that? We’ve always done what’s best for Aurora. She’s just too stubborn, always causing problems” 

Best for her?Daisy’s anger exploded into bitter laughter. You think you’ve done what’s best? Look at her! Look at what you’ve done to her! You’ve never treated her like your daughter. You’ve favored Bertha for years. You’ve ignored Aurora, neglected her, and now you’ve even tried to break her spirit! How is that love? If you didn’t want to love her, fine! But you didn’t have to hurt her so badly. You’re her mother, and yet you’ve been the one to crush her!” 

Celeste stared at Aurora, panic spreading across her face as she

realized what Daisy was saying. Aurora didn’t even spare her a glance. Instead, her gaze was locked on Daisy, full of gratitude. At that moment, it was clear: Daisy was the only one she truly trusted. To Aurora, Daisy was the mother she had never had, and Celesteher biological motherwas nothing but a stranger

She no longer cared about the Elvador family. All the longing for a family that she once had was completely gone

The painful memories flooded back to Aurora: the times she had tried so hard to win Celeste’s love, the times she had been ignored and rejected. Every single moment felt like a thorn in her heart, twisting deeper with each passing memory

At this moment, Celeste forgot even how to cry

She realized that Aurora truly no longer cared about them

She didn’t argue, didn’t make a scene. To Aurora, they just no longer mattered

Celeste finally broke down, tears streaming down her face. AuroraI’m sorryI’m really sorry” 

Aurora’s lips curled into a bitter smile. I’m not your daughter. Not legally.” 

Her words struck Celeste like a slap in the face, and she stumbled backward, gasping for air

Barnell’s anger flared. Aurora, that’s enough. You’re just making things worse. Why say these stupid jokes?” 

Chapter 54 Legally Speaking 

Aurora’s voice was calm, but it carried the weight of finality. Stupid jokes? I’m not your family. Don’t you know? Legally speaking, I have no lies to you.” 

That’s impossible!Barnett spat, his face reddening

You want to know if it’s true?Aurora said coldly. Ask your 

mother.” 

Barnett whipped his gaze to Celeste. Mom, is it true?”

Aurora had been found eight years ago and had been with them for three years after getting out of prison, but her legal status. had never been settled

He assumed Celeste would give him a firm answer, but instead, she faltered, her eyes shifting nervously

Barnett’s heart clenched

So legally speaking.. 

Celeste buried her face in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably. AuroraI’m so sorry” 

Aurora scoffed, Sorry? Why? The servants at Elvador Villa call Bertha Ms. Elvador, but they 

$ me just Aurora. It’s fine

really. After all, my parents never intended to acknowledge me. I’m just a guest in that house, not a part of the family. Now

you all leave?”
