Chapter 171
Chapter 171 Want to Take Revenge?
These words caused pain in Zac's heart.
Something that Aurora could not understand was rolling in his deep eyes.
But she didn't care at all and directly leaned on the other side of the car door. She didn't want to talk
about forgiveness unless she could kill Zac.
So, everything he did now was useless.
She didn't care.
"Good, you are right." There was a faint trace of exhaustion in his voice. He turned his head and just happened to see Wenny chasing out from inside. He frowned and ordered the driver to drive.
Then he got out of the car alone.
Aurora did not move. When the car finally drove away, she buried her head between her arms.
Her originally good mood was stirred into a mess.
"Ms. Bennet, may I send you to Mr. Buchanna's villa?"
Aurora did not answer.
Where could she go when she was in such a mess?
Dalwin received a call from Zac. When he came to the Swon's place to pick Zac up, he could tell that Zac was in a bad mood.
"You stayed in the Swon's place this late?"
As far as he knew, this was something that had never happened.
"Davis suspects that I was the one who plotted against the Vance family in the car accident," said Zac as he rubbed his eyebrows,
"What?" Dalwin almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Your future father-in-law is really
interesting. You wouldn't do that unless you were stupid."
Zac helplessly held his forehead. Humans were always too greedy, and that was why they would be fooled by a few words from others.
Aurora took advantage of Davis' greed and only used a few words to make Davis a bullet in her hand.
"Losing the Swon Group is nothing to the Buchanna Group. It's just that if the public knows about it, it would inevitably hurt the Buchanna Group's image." Dalwin whispered, "Then how did you make up for it? Will you reschedule the wedding?"
"No."
Zac refused without even thinking.
Just now in the Swon family, Faye had also vaguely mentioned this, but Zac changed the topic.
"Because of Aurora?" Dalwin boldly guessed.
Zac slowly closed his eyes and said nothing.
Dalwin clicked his tongue, stepped on the accelerator, and went to the place where the dinner party was.
Halfway through the dinner, Zac received a call from Alma. "Sir, Ms. Bennet is not back yet. I'm worried about her."
"Don't worry about her." Zac was a little upset.
When did his thoughts start to be controlled by that woman?
He had probably gone crazy.
Just like what Aurora said, her life and death had nothing to do with him!
"Mr. Buchanna, let me toast you again." Someone stood up.
Zac had drunk more than a dozen glasses of wine tonight.
The wine was not strong, but Zac would generally refuse such a meaningless toast. Today, he did not refuse anyone, obviously using the wine to drown his sorrows. "Alright, Zac." Dalwin took the glass and said, "I'll drink it for you."
He was well aware of Zac's alcohol tolerance.
Zac was pressed back into the chair. He picked up the phone on the table and looked at it again and again. His gaze was fixed on the time and date on the phone screen.
He suddenly thought of something, immediately got up, and walked out.
"Hey, Mr. Buchanna? Are you OK?"
"I'll look around. You guys continue." Dalwin chased after him. "Where are you going?"
"Look for her."
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Heavy rain poured down.
Zac drank wine and could not drive, urging the driver to hurry up all the way.
"Sir, we really can't drive fast. Driving fast under this weather is dangerous." Zac pressed his temples.
He thought that he had long forgotten about this day.
Shawn's death anniversary was also the day the Bennet Group officially announced bankruptcy. It
was also after that day that he proposed a divorce to Aurora.
The car stopped outside the cemetery.
With a black umbrella in his hand, he walked up the steps.
Normally, no one would come to worship the dead in such weather.
He looked around the hill in the distance and soon saw the cold back. Aurora stood in front of the
tombstone, crying until her tears dried up.
"Dad, I am really useless.
"Dad, I am sorry.
"Dad, I miss you so much.
Aurora always held back unpleasant information. Looking at Shawn's tombstone, she was stunned for a long time, unable to say anything else.
After a long time, an umbrella appeared above her head.
Aurora turned around. "You don't deserve to come to this place. Get lost."
Zac did not speak. He just stuffed the umbrella into her hand and turned to leave.
Aurora also disdained to use his umbrella and directly threw it on the ground.
A bolt of thunder came.
It lightened the entire night sky.
The rain kept falling, and two figures were standing there with some distance between them.
It was only when Aurora's legs were numb that she slowly walked back and saw that Zac was still standing there. She looked away.
"There's no car at this time. Are you going to walk back?"
"You don't need to care." She swung her arm, and her injured wrist began to hurt again.
"The day after tomorrow is the day you compete for Terry's race team. Are you planning to participate with a high fever? The data don't look good. Can you break the record in this state?"
Zac continued to speak behind her.
Aurora gritted her teeth, stepped on the wet bluestone steps, and roared in dissatisfaction, "Can you stop teaching me a lesson? You are not qualified to do that! If it hadn't been for you, would I be like this?"
"I know." He walked down the stairs, his eyes deep and dark. "But no matter how much you hate
me, you have to bite the bullet and hold on. Otherwise, how are you going to take revenge?"
In that instant, Aurora felt as if someone gripped her throat.
The rain on her face and hair was wiped away by him with a tissue.
"If you really want to take revenge, you should do your best to be as powerful as I am. It's useless to cry and complain."
His voice was even colder than usual, and along with the sound of rain falling, it hit Aurora's heart.
She was suddenly speechless.
Zac dragged her down the stairs to the temporary lounge behind the cemetery. Then, he gave her a glass of hot water.
"You don't want it? Waiting to catch a cold?"
He stuffed the water into her hand and then turned to look at the rain outside.
In that instant, time seemed to have stopped.
Aurora lowered her head and bit her lips as she looked at the steam rising from the cup.
The clock struck twelve.
Zac took a clean blanket from the self-service shelf at the back and placed it beside Aurora. "No one will come here tonight. These are all provided for free. Go to sleep now and leave tomorrow morning." Seeing Aurora's expression, Zac added coldly, "Do you want to go back in the rain or leave tomorrow?"
Aurora held the blanket unwillingly.
But the cold blanket could not give her any warmth.
Zac walked to the other side and took a hot water bag. He rummaged through the cabinet and found
a kettle.
Aurora sat there, looking at him. It seemed he was familiar with this place.
Her gaze was fixed on him, but she never asked.
"I lived here for a while when I was a child." Zac boiled some hot water, and his voice seemed to come from many years ago.
He used to live in the cemetery?
Aurora held the cup. She did not know about it.
