Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

Late at night, at the Tideview Manor, Bethany had just taken a shower. She changed the bandages on her face from her plastic surgery and was ready to enjoy some wine.

“Linny? Linny!” Bethany shouted twice, and the maid, Linny, ran in.

“I’m here, Ms. Bethany.”

Ever since Bella arranged for her to be a spy, Linny has been trying her best to get close to Shannon and Bethany to gain their trust. She knew that Shannon was suspicious by nature and would not trust

anyone.

On the other hand, Bethany was much less suspicious compared to her mother, and she was easier to approach. Thus, Linny decided to pour all her efforts into Bethany, and being at her beck and call gave her the opportunity to serve Bethany. Otherwise, as a lowly servant like her, who had previously served Carrie, Bethany would have kicked her out of the Tideview Manor. How would she be able to complete the task Bella gave her?

“Go to the wine cellar and get me a good bottle of wine,” Bethany said lazily while she put a mask on her face. “If you mess up and choose a cheap wine, I will deduct your salary for the month.”

“Yes, Ms. Bethany,” Linny responded obediently, and she immediately went to get the red wine for Bethany

Throughout this period, Bethany had always been making Linny’s life difficult with petty demands, causing her much distress. Linny was

well aware that Bethany was using her as a punching bag because she used to be Carrie’s maid. Nevertheless, it didn’t matter. Linny had a plan in mind and could endure all the bullying. She believed in karma, trusting that one day, Bella would take revenge for her and deal with this vicious mother- daughter duo. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Bethany suddenly realized that she had left her phone in the entertainment room on the third floor. She was so annoyed that she stomped her foot and wanted to order Linny to get it for her.

Unable to wait any longer, Bethany decided to go get it herself. She put on a mask and walked out of the room. After walking for a while, she suddenly saw a black shadow flash by.

“Ah!” Bethany screamed out loud, scared. The mask on her face almost fell to the ground.

Just a few steps ahead, a woman with a pale face and messy hair

suddenly appeared in the dimly lit corridor, resembling a ghost.

Bethany looked closely and sighed in relief. She couldn’t help but fe

surprised.

“Mom…? Is that you?” Bethany looked at Shannon, who always looked elegant and poised. She was shocked to see her in such a haggard state. She hadn’t seen Shannon since the last party, but it

wasn’t too long ago.

‘What happened to her?’ Bethany thought.

Shannon immediately ran toward Bethany, grabbed her arm, and ran

back to the room.

Bethany asked nervously. “Mom, what’s the matter? Did something

happen?”

Shannon remained seated on the sofa, trembling despite being in a warm room. She was wrapped in a thick coat and refused to take it

off.

“Bethany, I said something I shouldn’t have tonight.”

Bethany was filled with confusion. Something wrong? What did you say?”
