Chapter 181 Aurora Was Arrested
Three days later, Helena called Charlotte.
With May bringing the slow onset of warmer weather, Helena made plans to meet at an ice cream parlor. When Charlotte arrived, Helena didn't beat around the bush and handed her a document folder right away.
Charlotte took the document folder and opened it. She glanced through the contents and confirmed that Sophia hadn't deceived her. These materials could truly bring Aurora down. She then handed the document folder back to Helena. Helena was taken aback. "What do you mean by this?"
She thought to herself, "Is Charlotte changing her stance now after I went to bed with an older man and engaged in those disgusting acts to acquire these things?"
Charlotte responded, "I told you I wouldn't meddle in your affairs. The materials inside can certainly take down Aurora. All you have to do is hand them to the police."
Helena asked with a hint of doubt in her voice, "Really?"
Charlotte remarked, "You need to act fast. Aurora is very alert. If such important things go missing, she'll surely notice it soon. At that point, she'll have plenty of ways to conceal the situation. If you go to the police station now, you can catch her off guard."
Helena gritted her teeth and said, "You've certainly kept yourself clean and clear of this."
There wasn't much emotion on Charlotte's fair face. She paused for a moment before saying, "Well, you can think that way if you'd like. You should know what to do next. I'll take my leave for now."

Aurora placed a fruit platter on the coffee table. "What's the matter with you, Amanda? Are you still upset about what Helena did? You've been gloomy these past few days."
Amanda forced a smile and replied, "Yes. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I wish I could kill that bitch."
Aurora pretended to be a good person. "All right, let's not be upset anymore. Char is still young, and it's only natural for her to make mistakes. Don't you agree? By the way, there's a jewelry exhibition today. Shall we go check it out?"
Aurora stated, "I've heard about this jewelry exhibition. They say the most affordable pieces there begin at a base price of 100 thousand dollars. Your husband's family is indeed well-off. Unlike mine, I can only window-shop."
Even though the Cash family struck it rich and could be considered very wealthy, it didn't justify her spending hundreds of thousands of dollars every month on clothes and handbags. In fact, there were already some clues to this, but back then, Aurora was simply blinded by her lavish lifestyle and didn't realize that something was amiss.
On the other hand, the scale of the Lopez Medical Corporation was indeed quite substantial. However, due to Jonathan's conservative business tactics, its actual profits were relatively low. There was even a period recently when it suffered losses. Nonetheless, Aurora still spent on whatever she wanted. Thus, it was evident she had other ways of making money.
Aurora had always perceived her sister as not particularly bright, so she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she said, "Well, life is short. If you like something, you've got to buy it to avoid regrets. The price is less important." She gave Amanda a gentle pull and added, "Let's go. You may consider it a way to unwind."
Amanda glanced at her own phone. She had received a message from Helena. Upon opening it, she suddenly displayed a contorted yet triumphant smile. She then looked up at Aurora and said, "I'll go upstairs to change my clothes first. You can wait for me here."
That smile made Aurora very uncomfortable, but she couldn't quite figure out why at the moment. Amanda's request wasn't unreasonable, so she nodded and replied, "Go ahead. Don't miss the time."
"Don't worry. I'll be quick," Amanda said as she went upstairs.
She meticulously dressed herself to look as dazzling as ever. This was a sense of aesthetics she had developed from a young age, and she couldn't revert to a different style now. But even so, she was determined to send Aurora off in the most beautiful way according to her own perception.
A few minutes later, there was a sudden uproar downstairs. Amanda walked to the edge of the staircase and looked down. She saw several uniformed police officers rush in and promptly restrain Aurora. Aurora hadn't even grasped the situation, and she exclaimed, "What are you doing? What on earth are you doing?"
The police officer in charge stated, "Ms. Hunter, we've received a report alleging that you're involved in money laundering for a drug trafficking organization, and we have solid evidence. Please come with us."
Aurora was instantly dumbfounded. "How could this be possible?"
She hadn't told anyone about this, not even Vivian. There was no way the police could know about it.
Helena entered from outside. Her eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Aurora. "What's not possible? Aunt Aurora, your own actions are exposed, and you won't admit to them?"
"Helena?" Aurora was undeniably a sharp woman and quickly grasped most of it. "It's you... You're the one who stole the documents, right?"
Helena didn't deny it. "It's me. I'm the one who reported you to the police!"
"How did you know the safe's password? How did you find out?" Aurora used to be a very cautious person, but over the years, no one had ever discovered her secrets, not even Jonathan. Consequently, she had unconsciously lowered her guard. Previously, she would open the safe and review its contents every day. In recent years, she would only check it every two or three days. She had never considered that this matter would become known to others, let alone that Helena would gain access to those documents.
Helena coldly chuckled, "Naturally, it was your beloved husband who told me... After a few drinks and a roll in the hay, he spilled the beans on everything."
Aurora's pupils instantly contracted. ""It's you! You're that bitch!"
She had long noticed Jonathan's peculiar behavior and had intended to secretly hire a private investigator to discover which audacious wench was behind it all. However, she never expected it to be Helena!
Aurora yelled, "H-He's your uncle! You bitch!"
Amanda walked down the stairs. "You called Helena a bitch? Aurora, you're the bitchy one."
Tears streamed down Aurora's face in an instant. "Amanda... Why are you doing this to me? I invited you to visit Seyso with good intentions, and this is how you treat me! You're even making up baseless stories to slander me!"
With a sense of repulsion, Amanda said, "Enough, Aurora. I know it all. How my mom died, how you and Natalia plotted against me, and what you did to Helena this time... Stop pretending in front of
me. Don't you find it sickening?"
Hearing that, Aurora thought to herself, "So this is the case. Could it be that their attitude has suddenly changed... But how did they learn about it? There shouldn't be anyone around who knows about those past events!" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Aurora couldn't think of a good solution at the moment and could only play the sympathy card. "What are you talking about, Amanda? I really don't know... There must be some misunderstanding between us. Please don't act on impulse. Ask the police to leave. This was just a little joke between us sisters..."
Amanda let out a cold laugh. "With everything as it is now, there's no point in playing these small tricks. Natalia is dead, but you're still alive. I want you to repay everything you owe me!"
