The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 133 Do You Dare Not 

“The room next door is the child’s room. That’s why he’s affected by this gown, too,” Aurelia said.. 

Finished 

Joseph was taken aback and didn’t register what she said until some moments later. Heath gave this to 

Sarah… 

“The one who crafted this gown must have intended it to harm others. Over the past century, many whot wore it must’ve met their end. The figures that Old Ms. Delaney and the child saw in their dreams were likely those who had once worn this gown,” Aurelia said, her expression complicated. 

Hannah once told her there was never a shortage of people with malicious intentions in this world. 

Harboring evil intentions essentially meant harboring desires. 

At that moment, Aurelia thought of Heath, Joseph’s youngest son, who came in earlier. I guess Old Mr. Delaney will have some familial matters to handle next. 

“What should we do with this gown?” Matthew asked. 

Aurelia looked at Matthew. “We need to burn it.” 

“All right… All right.” Joseph paled as if he had aged significantly in an instant, losing the energy he had shown just moments ago. 

However, he was an old man who had weathered many storms, so he was able to regain his composure quickly. 

A few minutes later, Aurelia and Matthew left the Delancy residence. 

On their way back to Starry Sea Mansion, Aurelia voiced her concerns. “Old Mr. Delaney’s youngest son, Heath, might’ve known this gown was fishy.” 

Matthew’s gaze was somewhat reserved. His outstanding demeanor was evident as he replied, “The families in Jacaster are not as simple as they seem. Many of their members have hidden agendas. Are you scared?” 

“No, I was just thinking about the numerous lives that gown has claimed.” The pattern and pearls of that gown would inevitably surface in her mind whenever she thought about it. 

The scene was breathtakingly beautiful, filled with vibrant splendor. 

Anyone who wore it would feel that it accentuated their figure excellently. 

Matthew’s eyes were as deep as the night as he stared at Aurelia, who was wearing a grim expression. 

His gaze 

fell upon the red bronze/coin bracelet. 

“Old Mr. Delaney will handle this matter properly. Rest assured.” Matthew’s voice was gentle. 

Gordon drove in silence, not uttering a word throughout the journey. Despite his stoic expression, he was actually shocked to see his boss‘ attitude toward Aurelia. I thought Boss said he doesn’t like Aurelia. Why does it seem like he likes her now?

Aurelia promptly answered the call. 

Finished 

“Auri. Joseph told us what happened. That gown is quite frightening. I also have a gown, said to be a relic from the early twentieth century kept in good condition all this time. It was a gift from an old friend. I wonder if there may be any issues with it. Clearly, Mabel was quite alarmed. 

At their age, there weren’t many people around them they could trust. Yet, those few they could trust might just be plotting against them, which was no different than stabbing them in the heart. 

Aurelia’s voice was gentle as she reassured, “Grandma, don’t worry. The mansion isn’t filled with that kind of stuff. From now on, if anyone sends you anything, you can put it in the storage room. When I return to the residence. I’ll go through everything. You can count on me, Grandma!” 

“All right. I’m just being silly! With you by my side, there’s nothing I need to fear!” Mabel then lay in bed, unable to suppress her laughter. 

Aurelia couldn’t help but laugh along. “Indeed, you have me.” 

After finishing her conversation with Mabel, she noticed that Matthew was staring at her. 

There was something inexplicable in his gaze that she couldn’t understand. 

“What’s wrong?” she asked. 

Then, she met his deep, unfathomable dark eyes. 

nothing.” Matthew stared at Aurelia for a few seconds, his gaze lingering on her red lips momentarily before shifting away to look out the car window. 

Aurelia found Matthew’s behavior somewhat peculiar, and that he seemed capricious.. 

She couldn’t make sense of it, so she stopped trying, turning her gaze toward the scenery passing by outside the car. 

At that moment, it was precisely ten o’clock at night, and there were significantly fewer cars on the road. 

There was a nightly tranquility under the streetlights. 

Aurelia began to feel tired. 

Then, she leaned against the car and fell into a light sleep. 

Matthew gave Gordon a glance. 

Gordon slowed down the car, making the ride much smoother. I refuse to believe Boss doesn’t like Aurelia! If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have treated her so tenderly! 

Upon returning to Starry Sea Mansion, Aurelia and Matthew returned to their respective rooms to take a bath. 

After taking a bath, Matthew went straight to bed, waiting for Aurelia to come and give him a head 

massage. 

While he was waiting, he flipped through a book. 

Chapter 133 Do You Dare Not 

The room was very quiet, 

When the door was pushed open, Matthew was somewhat taken aback. 

Finished 

Over the past few days, whenever Aurelia came over to give him a massage, she would always knock and ask before entering. 

Never before had she entered so directly as she did. 

He casually set the book aside. 

Then, he turned his attention to Aurelia, who had just walked in. 

Before he even had the chance to take a closer look, Aurelia, who hadn’t even finished drying her hair, pressed down on him. 

She threw herself onto him, her slightly cool and gentle hands cradling his face as she planted a vibrant and passionate kiss on him. 

Regaining his composure, Matthew was met with her somewhat eager kiss. His eyes darkened as he asked, “Do you understand what you’re doing?” 

He was a normal man, so faced with a woman who he liked and decided to spend his life with, he didn’t want to aggrieve himself by her desire for him. 

Aurelia didn’t respond, but her slightly cool hand mischievously slipped inside his shirt. 

It was as if she wanted to reveal a side of Matthew that was seldom known to others. 

Matthew took her silence as an agreement and immediately turned the tables. 

He knocked Aurelia down. 

She was only clad in a bath towel, and after he had removed his shirt, his slender hand came to rest on her towel. 

With a gentle tug, her naked body was revealed. 

The look in Matthew’s eyes grew darker, his breath slightly disarrayed. 

The atmosphere in the room heated up. 

Aurelia’s brows were tightly furrowed as if she was enduring some kind of pain. When Matthew leaned down to kiss her lips, she suddenly spoke. “Take me… Take me fiercely…” 

Her words fell upon his thin lips. 

Suddenly, Matthew regained his composure, sensing that something was amiss. 

The two of them embraced. 

He felt her body heat and was having a hard time holding himself back. 

Aurelia looked at him while also seemingly like she wasn’t really looking at him. Also, she wasn’t pleading 

with him like before 

Chapter 133 Do You Dare Not 

“Aurelia, speak up,” said Matthew, 

Suddenly, Aurelia lifted her head, planting a hasty kiss on his Adam’s apple. 

Finished 

Her actions were too awkward, a bit like she was biting someone, which caused Matthew a bit of pain. 

Matthew questioned, “Aurelia, what’s going on with you?” I’m pre 

sure she didn’t have a chance to eat something weird, seeing that toe went from the Quigley residence to the Delaney residence and then back to Starry Sea Mansion without stopping. What’s going on with her? 

Aurelia seemed to not hear his words, using her hands to touch all over his body. 

Eventually, she started using her lips as well. 

“If you don’t snap out of it, I’ll do it for real, you hear me?” Matthew asked in a hoarse voice. This woman is testing my self–control! 

“Hold me, kiss me… Matthew, are you afraid to have me?” she asked seductively.
