Chapter 1865
Aldor spoke in a firm tone, laced with a hint of sarcasm, not too loud but clear enough.
Aurora was taken aback. She had always seen Aldor as someone who rarely lost his cool.
He had always been the epitome of politeness at work, even when Aurora, in a fit of anger, had once scornfully
called him the Kane family's lapdog. Aldor never snapped back.

Not long ago, when she was relegated to a lower-tier department, her confrontations with Aldor, both overt and
covert, had been frequent. Keegan, their boss, had tasked Aldor with supervising her.
Aldor always seemed to assign her more challenging tasks than others. Whenever she submitted a report, he would
scrutinize her work far more than anyone else’s. His criticisms were sharp. "How is this data analysis? Where's your
month-to-month, year-to-year comparison?"
"The title is catchy, but the content? It's incomprehensible."
"Did your university guarantee a pass to all its students? I can't fathom how else you came up with such a report."
"Don't include my name as your auditor. I refuse to be associated with this."
Aurora, despite her privileged upbringing, had always been a decent student. Her grades were consistently above
average, a fact she took pride in.
Her peers, who barely scraped through their courses, eventually returned to their affluent lives, inheriting family
businesses. Aurora, having never failed a subject and maintaining a respectable GPA, considered herself an
excellent student.

Her initial days working with Aldor were filled with resentment.
She had chosen to start from the bottom, as per Cordelia's advice - endure all hardships, but never quit. Quitting
meant she could never work at Vinci Rivera again.
Despite being on Aldor’s radar, she never complained to Cordelia.
After being released from confinement, nightmares had haunted her - memories of being bullied. She resented
Stella and Keegan deeply.
