NOVPUBChapter 1262: 573 Introduction_1 Chapter 1262: 573 Introduction_1 Although it was springtime, the temperature difference between day and night was large.
After the sun set, it was quite cold.
Alexa Gatten stared at the fluttering silhouette of Aubree Groove, feeling an inexplicable chill creep up from the soles of her feet.
The air was permeated with an eerie atmosphere, like the kind created in horror movies.
Alexa Gatten abruptly turned her head and slapped her chest, “You’re trying to scare me to death!
You’re absolutely silent when you walk.”
Charles Benz touched his nose, “Sorry.”
He glanced at Aubree Groove, “What is she doing?”
Alexa Gatten shook her head, “I don’t know.” Her eyes darted over Charles Benz’s shoulder, landing on the young lady behind him.
She frowned in displeasure, “Why did you bring her here?”
Stella White was nearly torn apart online, targeting Aubree Groove on several occasions, and recently she even orchestrated a public opinion incident against Aubree Groove.
...
However, it backfired, and she had to sneak out of the entertainment industry.
“Sister Alexa.” The sweeter Stella White’s smile was, the more terrifying Alexa Gatten found her.
“Don’t.
Don’t call me that.
I can’t bear the honor of being called ‘sister’ by Ms.
White.”
Stella White was unfazed by Alexa Gatten’s mockery.
She stepped forward and said softly, “Ms.
Groove, I took this opportunity to personally apologize to you.
I was wrong before.
I don’t presume to ask for your forgiveness, but I hope you’ll give me a chance for the sake of my cousin.”
Charles Benz: ???
Is this how my reputation is supposed to be used?
This cousin of his certainly knows how to ‘give a gift in Buddha’s name.’
Aubree Groove was absolutely silent, as if in deep meditation.
With her back to Alexa Gatten and Charles Benz, Stella White’s eyes gradually grew colder, and she subconsciously clenched her purse tighter.
No one knew that at this moment, a significant moral conflict was playing out in Aubree Groove’s mind.
This was a battle of wills and souls.
“With your daily prayers to Buddhas, are you truly free of desires?
All people have desires.
Your desire to save Anton Cook is a form of greed that has awakened me from a long slumber.
I am the demon, your inner demon.
The curse of the demon exists only within the cycle of reincarnation.
Only by transcending oneself can one completely eliminate this inner demon.
I eagerly await that day.”
The silent lotus flower in the abyss of the void was constantly guarding.
The young lady slowly opened her eyes.
The profound depths, like the silence of a long night, were marked by a faint glimmer in her eyes, akin to a weak candlelight in the everlasting night, wavering and stumbling toward the direction of the light.
A slight curl at the corner of her lips, with a tinge of self-mockery and disdain, seemed to silently ridicule the ways of the world.
The young lady slowly rose to her feet, casually flipping her skirt.
The simple movement had an indescribable grace and elegance.
“Let me translate, ‘Even though I did something wrong, I still have the audacity to seek forgiveness.
If she doesn’t forgive me, she’s hypocritical and petty.
If she does forgive me, then I have a justification to approach her again.
Only then can I find opportunities for revenge.’
The young lady’s smirking voice was as pleasant as a wind chime in a gentle breeze.
Yet, when it fell upon the ears of the people present, it gave them an unprovoked shiver.
Stella White’s face subtly changed.
She bit her lip, her eyes slightly reddened, “Ms.
Groove, I know you blame me.
But I was also deceived by the company.
I only learned about it afterward.
The company used this for a marketing stunt to generate buzz.
By the time I learned about it, it was too late.
I know that no matter what I say now, you won’t believe me.
I don’t beg for your forgiveness.
I just want to personally apologize to you.
This way, I won’t feel guilty.”
“What a fine way to free yourself from guilt.
If you truly have a clear conscience, then you don’t need to apologize to me.” Aubree Groove slowly turned around, a smile playing on her lips.
Under the night sky, she looked breathtakingly beautiful.
“Aubree Groove, you’ve finally revealed your true colors.” Lexi Benz rushed to stand in front of Stella White, launching an indignant attack against Aubree Groove.
“People praise you for repaying malice with kindness, saying that you’re a Bodhisattva reincarnated.
I think you’ve just been acting all this time, and now you finally can’t keep up the pretense.”
If those words just now went public, her carefully maintained image would collapse.
‘A Bodhisattva reincarnated’?
Everyone must be blind, deceived by her pretense.
Alexa Gatten and Charles Benz looked at Aubree Groove in surprise.
Although what Aubree Groove had just said wasn’t wrong, it didn’t seem like something she would say.
“I’m an honest person and I never lie.
Seeing you jump around anxiously reminds me of an idiom.” 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The young lady thought carefully, “A cornered dog will jump the wall.”
“I didn’t say it was you.
Why are you so eager to identify with it?”
