Chapter 37 Are You Shy?
As expected, Charles didn’t hesitate and nodded in agreement. “I can agree to that, Aurora. Even if you’re not Cadell’s wife, we still have a working relationship. If you and Cadell have a conflict again, just come to me directly. There’s no need to make it public. The Hartman family doesn’t benefit from a scandal, and neither do you, right?”
A sense of sarcasm filled my heart. I didn’t care about the profits from the Hartman family.
However, I couldn’t completely sever ties with Charles just yet.
There were still some things I needed his influence to handle.
So, I replied calmly, “As long as Cadell uses his brain more and does fewer foolish things, I’m not interested in causing any more trouble.”
Charles let out a small sigh of relief when he heard this. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep him in check.”
He then looked at me. “Since everything is clear now, could you delete the posts you made?”
I answered, “Let me clarify first. The True Love Ring issue was indeed exposed by me, but the cheating videos of Cadell and Lorna have nothing to do with me. Those were sent out by Edmund, and I couldn’t interfere.”
Anyway, the True Love Ring issue had already been exposed, and everyone who should know about it was already aware. I had revealed everything so thoroughly in the post that no one would doubt its authenticity.
Cadell’s reputation was beyond saving. When people mentioned him, they would think of the things he’d done.
Even if I deleted the posts now, so what?
As long as I didn’t make any explanations or pretended to make some vague clarifications, everyone would think I was being forced by the Hartman family to clarify these matters.
That was just the netizens‘ logic. The more one suppressed something, the more they resisted. The spread might even be wider than before.
But that wasn’t something I needed to worry about.
After all, I would be doing this at Charles‘ request. If something went wrong later, it wouldn’t be something an “ordinary person” like me could control.
Charles listened to me, clearly dissatisfied, but knowing I was speaking the truth, he reluctantly nodded. “Don’t worry. I know.”
He paused for a moment before looking at me again. “However, when you delete the video, I hope you can
explain that it was all a misunderstanding and that Lorna was the one who was relentlessly pursuing Cadell,
which led to this situation.”
I had no objections. “Okay.”
Charles was pleased with this, and after giving me a few more instructions, he left.
According to Charles, Philip had been busy lately and wouldn’t be able to meet me until next week. The exact
time would need further confirmation.

Chant 37 Are You Shy?
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony. I knew full well whether Philip was busy or not, but Charles just didn’t want me to meet him so soon. After all, he was still waiting for me to clear things up.
I didn’t care about his little schemes. In fact, having some free time was actually a good thing for me. I could use it to prepare more.
Just as I stepped out of the restaurant, I saw Cadell. His wounds had been treated, and when he saw me, he seemed to hesitate, as if he wanted to say something but stopped..
I glanced at him, catching the fleeting dark gleam in his eyes.
What was going on with him?
Did he just find out that I held shares in the Hartman family?
If that were the case, with his temper, he should have already had a huge argument with me by now, not be looking at me like that.
I couldn’t be bothered with him and turned to leave.
Cadell didn’t stop me, but I could feel his gaze still on me.
I didn’t turn around and walked straight toward the parking lot.
Just as I reached my car, another car’s headlights blinded me.
I instinctively looked over, and there was Cyril in the driver’s seat, smiling at me.
I smirked and walked over, getting into the passenger seat.
“Why did you come personally?” I asked.
“Didn’t feel at ease,” Cyril took off his sunglasses and turned to look at me. “Charles didn’t make things
difficult for you, did he?”
I shook my head. “It went pretty smoothly.”
He smiled. “Should I give you a ride home?”
“I drove here myself,” I declined.
Cyril raised an eyebrow. “I’ll have Ronald drive your car back. I have something to discuss with you.”
Ronald?
Suddenly, I remembered my conversation with Ronald that day.
According to him, that scented candle didn’t have any aphrodisiac effects. So why… Was Cyril saying something different?
I instinctively wanted to ask, but the words got stuck in my throat.
This was something I really couldn’t ask.
No matter how Cyril answered, I would feel incredibly awkward.
‘Forget it.‘ Pretending I didn’t know might be the best option.
I fell silent for a while, and Cyril, noticing my thoughtful expression, seemed somewhat puzzled. “What’s
wrong?”

I snapped back to reality, realizing he had noticed my distraction. I felt a bit embarrassed.
For a moment, my cheeks flushed, and I couldn’t even look Cyril in the eye.
Just as I was about to speak, Cyril suddenly leaned closer to me.
4 Fento
His breath was so close that it was almost suffocating. I could clearly smell the cold fragrance he carried, which made my face flush even deeper.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, “What were you thinking?”
How could I tell him? I reached out and pushed him away awkwardly. “I was just a little hot.”
Cyril didn’t believe me. He grabbed my hand.
My heart skipped a beat, and my face grew even hotter.
Before I could react, he said, “It’s already fall, and the temperature is low today. Your hand is quite cold… Are
you saying that in this situation, you’re feeling hot?”
He was so wicked!
I yanked my hand back angrily, gritting my teeth. “Believe it or not!”
He smiled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “Aurora, are you feeling shy because you’re alone with me?”
As he asked this, his eyes clearly conveyed his expectation.
That dazzling smile almost blinded me, and I froze in place.
