2 hapter Chapter 5 I stared in disbelief at the man standing before her . I cant believe youe here ? Hearing your call yesterday , he said calmly . I could tell something was wrong . Im glad I came or I wouldnt have known you were being bullied like this . Wade was the first to react and pointed at my dad , Who are you ? Who are you to say null and void . Trevor wasnt far behind , his tone just as confrontational . This is our investment ! Weve already got everything well . How dare you show up and ruin it ? He shot an impatient look at me . Its you bring him here , right ? The sheer irony of his words made me laugh bitterly . I stopped my father from saying any more . My father met my gaze , understanding the unspoken meaning , and nodded . Then we left without saying anything . Just the moment after we left , Freyas voice rose in a mocking tone . Wade , what do you think Auroras relationship to that older man ? Before they could speculate further , Wade and Trevors phones began ringing in quick succession . The irritated looks on their faces turned to panic as they answered . One call after another confirmed the same thing : their investments were being pulled . I hadnt left far before the phone rang as well . Aurora , Wades voice roared through the line , whats going on ? Did you sabotage us ? All the investments are gone . Dont tell me you had nothing to do with this ! I just replied coldly , Didnt you say that these investments were all thanks to Luxways reputation and had nothing to do with me ? So why are you blaming me now ? I paused for a beat before continuing , Didnt you hand the contracts over to your college educated Freya ? Im sure shes more capable than someone like me who didnt even finish university . Forsaken by First Love Im Back As A Billionaire Heiress 3.1 % And , just remind you guys , you kicked me out of the company . This is no longer my problem . On the other end , I could hear Wade and Trevor murmuring soothing words to Freya . Even now , they couldnt stop coddling her . Freya said aggressively , If it wasnt for me , Aurora wouldnt have left or done this to the company . Its all my fault . But Aurora was too kind to do that . Maybe its up to that man ? Her voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper . That older man … Do you think A Aurora might have … slept with him to get such a massive investment ? I just laughed out . Even now , Freya couldnt resist destroying my reputation . Getting those investments from my father for them really was too generous , I thought , taking a deep breath to calm myself . Finally , I said aloud , The company has nothing to do with me , you guys figure it out yourselves . Without waiting for a reply , i hung up . Wade and Trevors furious shouts echoed faintly through the receiver before I blocked their numbers . Toxic people like them shouldve been cut out of my life long ago . My fathers concerned gaze softened as he looked at me . You gave them everything , and they still treated you like this . Some people just dont understand gratitude until its too late . He placed a hand on my shoulder , his tone both proud and encouraging . Go , go home , Aurora and inherit the family business . Let them see what real regret feels like . I smiled and hugged my dad . For the first time , I felt what family members are .
