"That's right. I thought that way too at first," Aurora said coldly. "I hate you so much for what you did. I did want you to rot in prison here, but then I thought about it more carefully. If you go to prison, won't Rosalie become single again? At that point, Theo will have a thousand reasons to get back together with her, and he'll abandon me.
"So, after thinking it through, I decided that you shouldn't go to prison and should stay by Rosalie's side forever. That way, Theodore won't have the chance to reconcile with his ex-wife. I'm actually doing this for my benefit more than yours."
On the other end of the line, Sebastian was silent for a long time.
Aurora's words made a lot of sense, but Sebastian, who was naturally suspicious, still couldn't fully trust her.
"Why should I trust you? If you're lying to me and this was a trap set up for me, wouldn't that mean I'm falling right into your hands?" he argued.
"You don't have to trust me," Aurora said, "but once Theo leaves the hospital, he'll immediately give the evidence to the police and cooperate with the investigation. I'll testify too. Theodore has hired the best lawyer to make sure you rot in prison. If you don't believe me, just wait for the police to come and arrest you."
Sebastian fell silent again. Aurora could hear his hurried breathing.
After a long time, Sebastian gritted his teeth and said, "Aurora, if you're lying to me, I won't let you off."
"Mr. Carter, I should remind you of something. If you don't let me off, it's equivalent to helping Theodore get back with Rosalie. Even though we hate each other, we can help each other. With you by Rosalie's side, Theodore won't be able to be with her, and with me by Theodore's side, I can stop him from getting close to Rosalie. We can cooperate to keep our lovers. If you want to deal with me, I have no choice. But I believe you aren't that foolish."
"I didn't expect you to be so cunning. You look so harmless, but you're so sly," Sebastian said.
Aurora smiled, "I could say the same
about you, Mr. Carter, but I only use
parlor tricks. They're nothing compared to you. You and Rosalie even had a child together. Theo and I don't even have one yet, but that's my next plan. I need to stay alive to make that plan happen, don't I?"
"Heh. It better be as you say. I'm curious to see how capable you really are—if you can really stop Theodore from getting close to Rosalie."
"My abilities are much greater than
you think Mr. Carter, if I were you, I'd be thinking of a way to handle this right now. Otherwise, once the police arrest you, it'll all be over," Aurora said.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll handle it. Miss Payne, thank you. Who knows, maybe we'll be good friends in the future," Sebastian replied.
"I'll pass on being your friend," Aurora said, "but a business partnership might be possible."
Just then, Aurora heard footsteps outside the door.
"Mr. Carter, I have to hang up now. You should think of a way to handle it. I'll try to delay Theo so he hands over the evidence later."
With that, Aurora hung up the phone.
Theodore had finished his check-up and walked back in. Now, they just needed to wait for the results.
"Theo, you're back."
Theodore smiled gently at her and
sat on the edge of the bed. "Aurora, I've already gone through the check-up. Now we just need to wait for the results."
