Chapter 973: Chapter 973: You Thought I Wouldn’t Dare Kill You?

Back then, she died so tragically because of him, wasn’t it justified?

Can she really be blamed for being too foolish to be manipulated? How many people can remain rational in the face of love?

Aurelia held the knife and walked to Mason Nightshade, the tip pressing into his left chest, inch by inch piercing through.

Mason’s expression did not change, his eyes did not blink, he looked at her with deep affection and tenderness.

"You think I don’t dare to kill you?" The knife was already partially embedded, Aurelia’s face was cold, staring fixedly into Mason’s eyes.

She truly couldn’t tell if what this man said was true or false.

But still, she wanted to ask.

Perhaps she was mad.

After all, having loved this man for so long, no matter if his words were true or false, she still wanted to hear them.

Mason just smiled indulgently and helplessly, glanced down at the knife in his chest, "Aren’t you already making your move?"

"Didn’t you say you loved me? How does it feel now to be pierced by the one you love?" Aurelia leaned close to Mason’s ear, her breath faintly cold, "I won’t feel guilty because this is what you owe me."

"Should I say heaven is still favoring me? Allowing me to personally exact revenge."

Suddenly, Mason flipped over, pressing Aurelia onto the table, grabbing her chin and lifting it, "Have I paid back what I owe you?"

He smiled bitterly, suddenly lowered his head, seized her lips, kissing her forcefully.

"Mm...!" The knife sunk all the way in, Aurelia struggled, her hands held down by Mason’s large palms, pressed above her head.

He somehow had strength, even after being injured, it was still so strong.

The metallic taste of blood spread between their lips and teeth, the masculine breath invaded irresistibly, giving Aurelia no chance to react.

After all, Mason was wounded.

Aurelia pushed him away, wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth, watched him stagger and sit down on the ground, he smiled meaningfully at her and slowly closed his eyes.

Aurelia stood dazed and frozen in place, stared at Mason for a while, then turned and left.

The sunlight outside was glaring.

She squinted her eyes.

Gustavo Yates ran over, "Young Madam..."

The voice suddenly disappeared.

Gustavo Yates looked at Aurelia’s blood-stained hand in shock.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

His face changed, and he strode into the banquet hall.

Aurelia’s hand shook, clenched into a fist, numbly walked toward the car on the roadside, all her strength seemed to drain suddenly, collapsing into the back seat.

Hadrian Turner looked worriedly at Aurelia, then glanced at the direction where Gustavo Yates ran, hesitantly asked, "Aurelia, are you alright?"

It seemed that something serious had happened.

"Drive," Aurelia closed her eyes, "I’m a bit tired, want to rest for a while, take me back to Cloud Pavilion Garden."

"Not going back to Nightshade Residence?" Hadrian Turner asked strangely.

"No." Aurelia’s voice was weak, she chuckled self-mockingly, "Anyway, there’s nothing of mine there."

From start to finish, it never truly belonged to her.

No matter how slow Hadrian Turner was, he sensed something wrong with Aurelia, so he stopped asking, and drove towards Cloud Pavilion Garden.

The car arrived at Cloud Pavilion Garden, Aurelia was asleep.

Hadrian Turner got out, looked at the girl’s serene sleeping face, her beautiful cheeks stained with blood, still stunning, but carrying a hint of danger and wicked charm.

He reached out his hand. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

His fingers paused mid-air for a moment, then reached for Aurelia’s shoulder.

Shook gently.

"Aurelia, we’re at Cloud Pavilion Garden."

Aurelia groggily woke up, staggered out of the car, "Thank you for bringing me back."
