Next One Is a Babe Chapter 1460

Aurora didn’t seem to be brooding over this, for she had probably gotten used to responding to

everything with an air of nonchalance. With a double-handed slap on her thigh, she said, “I need a

chance to become popular again. I also want to prove that I got into my present state not because my

abilities are out of date, but because Bryce had failed me.”

Ian felt even more uncomfortable at the mention of Bryce. Aurora wasn’t the only woman Bryce had

failed; he had failed many women and several of his children. However, he had no intention of

regretting it so far, nor did he feel that he had sinned against anyone. Instead, he thought he was the

one who had been taken most advantage of. He had kept so many mistresses, all of whom had spent a

lot of his money, whereas his children grew up being admired and lauded to the skies because of his

reputation. He felt he had done enough.

Moreover, Bryce had never suffered any setbacks in his life. The Morgan Group was a family company,

a property left behind by his forefathers. As a result, he had lived a life of prosperity since childhood

and was particularly successful in his studies and later in his running of the company. One might as

well say that his life was smooth sailing since everything he wanted would eventually come into his

possession. This resulted in his particularly conceited personality, for he never listened to anyone. To

him, whatever anyone said was always inferior to what he thought.

Ian was filled with disgust whenever he thought of this. Bryce had done many things in his life that he

should’ve been ashamed of, so why should he be able to enjoy a life blessed with good fortune?

Aurora looked up at Ian. “Now that I have said everything I wanted to say, I have nothing else to hide

from you.”

Cindy came out of the kitchen just in time—the food was ready after she microwaved it in the

microwave oven. She served the food on the table and said, “The food’s ready.” Not only that, she was

attentive enough to brew a cup of scented tea and served it next to the food.

Aurora came over and looked at the food. “Well, your little girlfriend is quite good at looking after

people. It seems that she’s taking good care of you.” She sat down, picked up her cutlery, and took a

bite. “Hmm, and it tastes good too. Everything about you is good except for your family’s social

standing.”

Ian didn’t like to hear such a remark from Aurora. “Is her family’s standing that important? Bryce comes

from a very good family, but how did he treat you?”

Aurora quickly waved her hand. “All right, all right, I’ve put my foot in my mouth. I have no intention of

tearing you two apart either. What right do I have to interfere in your relationships? I still have this bit of

self-knowledge.”

Ian looked at Aurora while still leaning on the armrest of his sofa. “I’ll find someone to ask about it for

you. Don’t pin your hopes on me, though. I don’t have many acquaintances, so I’m not sure if I can

really hook you up with jobs. I’m not doing as well as you think I am in show business.”

Aurora knew Ian had his own troubles, of course. He had been dragged through the mud lately, which

proved that many had been targeting him. If she wanted to make a comeback, she would bring a lot of

controversy to him in the future. Even so, she wanted to give it a try, for the entertainment industry was

where one could make the most money in the quickest way possible. As Aurora was halfway through

her life, she understood many truths that she had stubbornly refused to believe when she was young.

For one, she knew how much influence money could have on one’s life. She wouldn’t have been

dumped by Bryce so easily when she was young if she had enough assets to match Bryce’s. Men were

materialistic, and Bryce could jilt her without hesitation simply because she had nothing and could

easily be substituted by others.

If she were also rich and powerful, Bryce wouldn’t have treated her that way. However, it was too late

for her to realize this, for she had used up half of her lifetime. Therefore, she was now eager to make a

comeback and earn everything she had missed in her youth.

She wouldn’t say that this was solely for Ian’s sake, but she did make such a decision with Ian in mind.

At Ian’s current age, it was already impossible for her to make it up to him emotionally, so the only thing

left that she could give him was things that money could buy. Ian certainly looked down on everything

she owned right now, so she had to give him more than that.

Aurora ate the meal. One could tell she was truly hungry, for she ate up all the dishes Cindy had

heated up for her.
