Chapter 1363: Chapter 1363: Why Did You Run Away?

Amanda Fuller looked at Aurelia, and seeing Aurelia nod, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She then felt a bit troubled.

"Why do I feel like everyone knows what’s happening except for me?"

"Amanda, you’re not dumb at all. You’re the smartest. You understand the rules of the entertainment industry better than anyone. It’s just... business people are more like vampires, compared to them the entertainment circle is less ruthless," Aurelia said with a laugh.

Long ago, she was also a naïve little girl.

But harsh realities taught her these lessons.

Foster Fuller was really good to Amanda, treating her like a little girl, but at the same time, he didn’t spoil her. He let Amanda understand the ways of the world without exposing her to its harshness.

Foster gave Aurelia a deep glance and patted Amanada Fuller’s head, "You don’t need to worry about such things, you have a boss who can devise strategies."

"And a shrewd elder brother," Aurelia added.

"..." Is ’shrewd’ supposed to be a compliment? Heh, this woman really never misses a beat.

Amanda says Mason Nightshade spoils her, but this woman doesn’t seem to be someone who’s been pampered; rather, she seems to have endured something.

If you truly love someone, don’t make her mature like this. His Amanda, he would never let her become such a person.

On her way home, Aurelia received a message from Grayson Quinn.

The tone was complaining, "Little Aurelia, didn’t I say I’d treat you to dinner? Why did you leave?"

Aurelia frowned, what’s Grayson up to? Doesn’t he know about her relationship with Mason Nightshade? Dinner invitation? Did Mason leave? Or is he by his side?

Does Mason know he wants to treat her to dinner? Or... did Mason instruct him to do this?

Aurelia rubbed her temples, feeling like she was overthinking everything.

Upon arriving home, she was surprised to find Alaric Wood there. Looking at the entering Aurelia, his typically brooding and sinister face showed a hint of a smile, "Just in time, I made you dinner."

"You cooked?" Aurelia was surprised that Alaric could cook.

"The housekeeper mentioned you don’t like M Nation cuisine. I’ve wanted to cook for you for a while, but only just finished up some affairs recently."

What affairs? Related to Mason Nightshade? Aurelia lowered her gaze and didn’t ask.

Halfway through the meal, Aurelia casually asked, "Is Vespera Bennett your person?"

Alaric froze, looking at Aurelia, understanding why she asked.

Vespera was part of the mafia that had plotted against Mason Nightshade five years ago.

She suspected this matter was connected to him.

"No." Alaric smiled, "Aurelia, don’t doubt me. But... if I were one of them, would you kill me to avenge him?"

Aurelia frowned.

She wouldn’t harm Alaric, no matter how heinous his deeds were. She was the last person with the right to harm him.

The Alaric of today was her creation. She owes him a life.

Aurelia experienced a failed life, hence she understands the cost of a life.

"No, I wouldn’t."

Alaric only relaxed upon hearing those two words from Aurelia, a mocking smile surfacing in his heart.

What was he worried about?

"Eat up," Alaric said.

Leaving the place where Aurelia lived, Alaric dialed a number, his eyes darkened, "Why did you want me to bring her to M Nation? What do you plan to do? Mason Nightshade has also come to M Nation. You must know, right? Back then, you used Balthazar Shaw to obtain research results, only to have the location of the base revealed. Your people are quite foolish."
