Wen Xinya stared at Avrora who was kneeling on the ground submissively . Before this, she would never believe that the haughty and arrogant Avrora would ever kneel before her .
God knows how terrible of a plight Avrora must be in now that she had lost the document . However, Wen Xinya did not sympathize with her at all because she was the one who planned everything from the start . If Avrora did not flirt with Si Yiyan back then and even made her use Lucifer’s matriarchal token as a stake, she would not have set Avrora up .
Avrora had brought it all upon herself .
Since she kept mum, Si Yiyan would obviously do the same too . He smirked and picked up a honeydew cube using a toothpick before feeding it to Wen Xinya . “Is it sweet?”
After eating the honeydew, Wen Xinya nodded and answered, “Yes!”
Si Yiyan laughed out loud .
Duke Moville watched as Si Yiyan behaved intimately with Wen Xinya, fearing that they would brush him off . “Miss Bella, you have no idea how much that document means to us . It represents our family’s power and authority . Avrora harmed our interests by stealing the stamp and using it for her own use . So, this document is very important to us . Miss Bella, please return it to us . We’re willing to pay the price . ”
He felt that his words should weigh more than Avrora’s .
Despite knowing that the document was in Si Yiyan’s hands, he felt that it would be better to tackle Wen Xinya instead .
Wen Xinya glanced at Avrora for a moment before saying, “I see . Seems like Miss Avrora was really audacious . ”
However, she still did not mention a thing about returning the document .
An icy cold gaze formed in Duke Moville’s eyes .
Avrora knelt on the ground, feeling stuck in a spot for she did not know if she should get up or not . Her body stiffened and she was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions .
Just as Duke Moville was about to say something, Wen Xinya fiddled with the Lucifer matriarchal token on her ear and suddenly turned at look at Si Yiyan . “Yan, is there a special significance behind this earring you gave me?”
Duke Moville could no longer say what he wanted to .
Si Yiyan pulled her into his arms and explained, “Duke Moville’s stamp represents his family’s power and prestige? This earring of yours represents your status as Lucifer’s lady in-charge . It symbolizes endless prestige and power . ”
Wen Xinya’s eyes widened in shock and she said, “Does it mean that I’ll be bringing shame to Lucifer and become the laughing stock of the Russian aristocrats if I lose this earring? Does it mean that I’ll ruin Lucifer’s pride and reputation and cause you shame, too?”
She sounded rather agitated and her voice was shrilling and high-pitched .
Si Yiyan answered softly, “Exactly . ”
Appearing flustered, Wen Xinya patted her chest and pretended to feel thankful . “Fortunately, I won against Miss Avrora during the horseback riding competition . Otherwise, the results would be dire . ”
A mix of emotions formed in Si Yiyan’s eyes .
Her words made Duke Moville’s face stiffen . It was clear what she meant . She was trying to say that the earring was just as important to Lucifer as the document was to the Moville Family . Avrora was the one who initiated the competition and demand that she use the earring as a stake . Now that Avrora had lost, Wen Xinya was not to be blamed either .
Even Avrora stared at her in disbelief, completely dumbfounded .
Wen Xinya finally recovered from the shock and immediately stood up angrily . Glaring at Avrora, she chastised . “Miss Avrora, you’re being too much . It turns out you had ill intentions for compelling me to use Lucifer’s matriarchal token as a stake in our competition . You were bent on embarrassing Rex . You…”
Exasperated beyond words, Wen Xinya panted heavily while pointing her fair and tender finger at Avrora .
Si Yiyan’s eyes lit up, not expecting Wen Xinya to be so quick-witted .
Avrora immediately got goosebumps after being accused . Her lips trembled and just as she was about to speak, she realized that she did not know what to say at all .
Not only was Avrora shocked, but even Duke Moville also said in bewilderment, “Miss Bella, you’re mistaken . Avrora only made a rash and insensible decision in a moment of recklessness . She didn’t have other intentions . Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used the document as a stake . ”
Duke Moville did not expect to be attacked by Wen Xinya again before the matter about the document had even progressed . Once Avrora was truly accused to have been harboring ill intentions, it would be impossible to settle the issue .
However, Wen Xinya was long infuriated beyond senses and she obviously wouldn’t listen to Duke Moville’s explanation . She glowered at Avrora and said, “Miss Avrora, if I lost Lucifer’s matriarchal token and brought shame to Rex, Rex probably wouldn’t let me off easily either . How dare you be so vicious . ”
Avrora snapped out of her trance and said frantically, “Miss Bella, please don’t be mistaken . I only wanted you to use the earring as a bet because I found it beautiful . I didn’t mean anything else…”
She did not expect Wen Xinya to be such a tough nut to crack, and so shrewd as to one-up her and Duke Moville .
Wen Xinya retorted angrily . “As if I’d believe you . Others may not recognize Lucifer’s matriarchal token, but as a Russian aristocrat and the heiress of the Moville Family, you can’t be so ignorant as to be unaware . ”
Her words rendered Avrora speechless . If she were to insist that she did not know that it was the matriarchal token, it would seem like she was a silly hillbilly . Hence, she turned red in anxiety .
Duke Moville did not know how to explain it either .
Glaring daggers at Avrora, Wen Xinya continued, “I initially thought that you and Duke Moville paid us a visit out of genuine sincerity and I was just about to return the document to you . Yet, you were actually just harboring ill intentions right from the start . You’re being too much . ”
Duke Moville’s face stiffened . Although she had taken the moral high ground, he knew that the two of them had never intended to let him have the document so easily .
Avrora could no longer say the words that she wanted to to explain herself and beg for forgiveness .
On the verge of tears, Wen Xinya continued angrily, “You… you people are too much . Are you just bullying me because I’m a weak woman? You refuse to stick to your word and you’re the ones who harbored ill intentions from the start . You were the one who clearly lost and yet, you still came forth to bully me…”
