Chapter 869 - 895: Turmoil Unfolds (Part 2)
The comments under this news were quite varied.
Of course, there were still some people cursing.
But—
More netizens shared the same attitude as Mina Lee: curious and expectant.
Aurora Cooper’s public image was consistently good, whether it was her appearance and demeanor, or her gestures and speech, she was considered outstanding among her peers. Her fashion sense was unique and tasteful, easily setting trends.
How could such a person be a mistress?
Even if she were, she’d be a mysterious and intriguing mistress.
In today’s society, people mock poverty, not vice.
Besides—
Everyone knew that Aurora just returned from abroad last winter, after being away for twenty years. This mistress business seemed odd.
Mina Lee pushed her phone towards Mia Ginger and tentatively asked, "Your mom is going to be on the ’Legendary Life’ show on Channel 7 the night after tomorrow, will you be joining her?"
"Oh?" Mia finally reacted.
Aiden Jiang and Aurora only told her to focus on her studies; she didn’t know about other things.
Taking a quick glance at the phone to make sure she wasn’t mistaken, Mia smiled and said, "I probably won’t go."
"Speaking of which," Mina studied her face for a bit before smiling, "you look quite like your mom."
"Lots of people say that," Mia responded, then lowered her head to continue reading her book.
The afternoon classes ended soon.
Since she wasn’t staying at the school now and wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble, as soon as the bell rang, she swiftly packed her things and headed out.
"Mia." Camden River stopped her at the bottom of the teaching building.
Mia paused in her steps and stopped in her tracks.
Camden, tall with long legs, quickly reached her and smiled, saying, "Heading off campus? Let’s go together."
Mia: "..."
After a moment’s thought, she directly asked, "Are you worried something will happen to me?"
Camden smiled slightly without saying a word.
Mia said calmly, "I’m fine now. Besides, those guys have all been caught; it’s not like I could be kidnapped twice."
"It’s not that I’m worried about," Camden replied, glancing into the distance.
"Then?" Mia ran a hand through her hair and suddenly recalled how he’d stood up for her on the school forum, changing the topic, "Thanks for what you did on the school forum."
"No need to thank me; it’s what friends are for."
As they walked toward the school gate, Mia looked at his handsome profile, pondered for a while, and couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you curious about my background?"
With so many students at school, it seemed like only he didn’t show any curiosity or make assumptions.
Camden chuckled softly, "You can’t choose where you’re born."
Mia was taken aback, nodding, "True."
There’s a saying that human effort makes the difference. The only thing beyond someone’s control seems to be where they’re born.
Mia thought it was funny, suddenly feeling like she understood him a little more. While Camden might seem rigid and pedantic by nature, he also possessed a side that such people usually don’t—rational and objective.
No wonder he didn’t mind Windsor Myres’ family situation.
"How about other things?" Mia asked again, "My viciousness and hypocrisy seem unrelated to my background."
Camden’s lips slightly curled with seriousness, "I believe in my own judgment."
Mia smiled but didn’t know what to say.
