NovelEnglishAurora's head snapped to the side from the slap. She clenched her teeth but didn't strike back, focusing instead on tending to her wound.
Viola turned to Michael, wiping her tears with one hand as she shouted, "Mr. Brown, it was her! The assassins cfor her. She locked herself in the room, and pushedand my maids out. She's responsible for my maids' death! And the assassins-Carissa had already taken them down and tied them up, but Aurora went crazy and killed them all. Mr. Brown, please get justice for me!" Michael glanced at Aurora. Before he could ask any questions, Aurora said coldly, "They broke into Valor Estate and killed guards and maids. Why would I leave them alive? Keeping them around would only bring more trouble." Michael examined the assassins' bodies, and was dissatisfied with Aurora's response. "Their tendons were severed, their cores were damaged, and they were bound. What further danger could they pose? Leaving them alive and questioning them to find out who was behind this would have been the real way to prevent future threats." Aurora remained unnervingly calm. "I apologize. They killed so many people in Valor Estate. In my anger and grief, I didn't think to leave any alive for interrogation." Michael chose not to respond to this. There was no need to waste words.
Viola's anger was far from abated, even though she had slapped Aurora. She recalled that Aurora had locked the door in the face of danger, leading to Julia and Yvonne's deaths. Hearing her reply to Michael, Viola was convinced that Aurora was at fault.

You owean explanation!" Aurora scoffed derisively. "If you want an explanation, ask the assassins. I didn't kill your maids." "It's because you locked the door that the assassins were able to kill them!" Viola retorted.
Aurora's tone was icy, "Why not say it's because you blocked the door, and they were standing in front of you? You're the reason they're dead." "You're talking nonsense!" Aurora tightened the bandage on her wounds and looked up at Viola, her face half covered and shrouded in gloom.
"There were so many people in the estate, but the assassins didn't kill them. Didn't they kill your maids because your maids were trying to protect you, and you just happened to be blocking the door? I locked the door and kept you out, so the assassins wouldn't have killed you. But instead of running, you stood there pounding on the door. Are you still going to say it's not your fault they died?" Viola recalled the events and realized it was indeed as Aurora had said. She had been standing at the door, while Julia and Yvonne had been trembling with fear but stiet trying to protect her. The assassins had killed Julia and Yvonne, and then had intended to kill Viola. It was only her husband's timely arrival that had saved her.
Realizing she was the reason they died, Viola collapsed to the ground, her body going limp as tears flowed uncontrollably.
