Chapter 57 Apoel And Spe
Chapter 57 Kneel And Speak
I wasn’t sure if it was my own illusion, but when Cyril said those words, his voice was low, and his tone carried an implication I couldn’t quite decipher.
I didn’t think much of it. Cyril had always been sharp with his instincts. I wasn’t Darian’s playmate; I was his superior.
I didn’t expect that such a subtle detail would be noticed by him.
I didn’t respond, and he didn’t press further, only saying softly, “Philip seems to have his eye on you. Be careful during this time. If anything happens, just call me.”
I raised a teasing smile and asked, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll drag you down?”
I said it jokingly, but Cyril’s gaze instantly became serious. He looked at me, his eyes full of resolve as he said, “Aurora, I’m not afraid.”
My breath suddenly became shallow, and I involuntarily looked away from his gaze.
He kept staring at me directly, and I found myself at a loss for words.
I cleared my throat and tried to maintain my playful tone. “Okay, I know you’re the boldest one here.”
Cyril didn’t respond. His eyes remained fixed on me.
I had once said that his eyes were like the smallest ocean in the world, and now, in this moment, it seemed like that ocean was just for me.
The awareness made my breathing unconsciously quicken. I said, “Thank you for today, Cyril. I’ll treat you to a meal sometime.”
Cyril chuckled softly, “It wasn’t me who helped you.”
I wasn’t sure how to reply, and fortunately, he didn’t continue.
We parted ways, and as soon as I returned to my room, the façade I’d been holding up instantly collapsed.
Sylvia’s fragile, pitiful figure flooded my mind, clinging to me like a nightmare.
I wasn’t afraid of the anger in her eyes, nor the hatred in them. I only felt heartache, so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe, like a drowning person in their sleep, on the verge of dying in a nightmare.
Once everyone had left, I was alone, and the suppressed anger inside me turned into thick, crimson blood
that spilled from my mouth.
I knew that was the embodiment of my hatred.
I clenched my teeth, determined not to spare Philip! I would make him pay ten, a hundred times over!
But before that, I had to find Sylvia.
I carefully recalled Sylvia’s appearance in the photo. She was probably around twenty years old.
My pain and numb heart slowly began to calm down, like a dying person clinging to the last vestiges of life.
Perhaps Sylvia was still alive!

She might be somewhere out of my sight, suffering, with wounds growing as she endured.
I must find her, lessen her suffering, and take good care of her!
With this resolve, a plan rapidly formed in my mind.
શા માટે પાઠ..
I pulled out the design draft again, immersed myself fully, and began to speed up the drawing process.
Sylvia had once been locked in a cage, and that scene resembled the secret operations of the Hartman family’s private industries!
This meant I could start with the Hartman family and perhaps obtain what I wanted more quickly!
I would make Cadell personally beg me to return!
Hatred fueling me, I stayed up all night, finally completing the design draft.
Maybe emotion truly was the strongest driving force.
This design draft was one I was very satisfied with; I couldn’t find any flaws in it.
I quickly sent it to Darian, and his reply came swiftly, with a short message: Aurora, don’t push yourself too
hard. I’ll help you.
I wasn’t sure if he had sensed something, but I had never revealed my hatred to anyone.
First, I didn’t trust anyone, and second, I didn’t want to involve Darian.
I didn’t respond, only requesting that he put the design on the market as soon as possible, preferably within a
week.
I understood that this decision was too rushed. Normally, there should be some build–up before a product’s release. If it was launched so abruptly, the effect might not be as expected.
But I couldn’t wait any longer.
Just thinking about Sylvia enduring in such a dark environment was driving me insane. My pain was
unbearable!
Darian exceeded my expectations. In just five days, the product I designed began selling wildly.
What surprised me even more was that the product exploded in popularity the moment it was released, and
the number of orders left me in shock.
I roughly compared it to when the Hartman family sold True Love Ring, and the sales were almost identical!
In fact, it was even surpassing it.
I finally relaxed my tense heart. I knew the next step was about to begin.
When designing jewelry, I had a habit of carving a delicate pattern inside each piece.
Every design draft had it. If Cadell carefully examined them, he would definitely discover that all the designs purchased externally had been done by the same person!
And the designer he had secretly used had now created jewelry that was sweeping the country!
This was a real hit!
I didn’t believe Cadell would be able to resist it!
I had my subordinates leak my information to the outside world, creating some clues so that Cadell wouldn’t

easily trace me.
The whole process took about two days.
That evening, I received a call from Cadell.
Since the unpleasant negotiation last time, Cadell hadn’t contacted me, and this was the first time.
I answered the phone and heard his cautious voice, “Aurora, It’s been so long. Have you calmed down? I haven’t contacted Lorna anymore. Can you forgive me this once?”
From the phone, I could almost feel the greed in his tone.
I smiled sarcastically and softly said, “Cadell, I’ve said before, apologies mean nothing to me. If you truly regret it, then kneel and speak slowly.”
Cadell’s breath immediately stopped, and I could almost feel his suppressed anger.
