Familys Regret Glowing After Prison - Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Nothing? 1/8 Aurora's indifferent attitude left Hubery feeling like he'd just punched a pillow-his anger and accusations dissipating in the face of her calm demeanor, leaving him with a gnawing frustration that he couldn't shake. It was like she had effortlessly neutralized all of his fury, and the more he tried to hold onto his emotions, the worse it became. Seeing Hubery stunned, Bertha's eyes instantly welled up with tears. "Hubery, are you okay?" she asked, her voice quivering with faux concern. Before he could answer, she turned her anger on Aurora.

"Aurora, I can understand if you hit me, but why would you hit Hubery? Do you know how worried he was when he heard you were hurt? He's been so concerned that he even came to the hospital with me. Is this how you treat people who care about you?" Her words were laced with pity, her voice breaking just enough to sound convincingly upset. She looked every bit the innocent victim, while Aurora, in her eyes, was the unreasonable villain. Aurora couldn't hide her disgust for Bertha's fake sympathy. The theatrics made her stomach churn.

She knew exactly what Bertha was up to-using Hubery as a pawn to take aim at her. Chapter 56 Nothing? Once, she would have been devastated by Hubery's misunderstanding. Her heart would have shattered. But not anymore. Hubery meant nothing to her now. With a casual flick of her wrist, Aurora raised her hand as though she might strike again. 2/8 Bertha shrank back, her face draining of color as she hurried behind Hubery, peeking out from behind him like a frightened rabbit. "Aurora, you're going too far," she muttered, her voice shaky, though her eyes gleamed with a hint of triumph.

"Enough!" Hubery growled, grabbing her wrist tightly, his grip tightening with unspoken fury. "You've crossed the line. No one has to put up with your bad temper. If you keep this up, don't blame me for-" Before he could finish, Aurora slapped him again, cutting him off mid-sentence. The sound of her palm meeting his cheek echoed through the room. Hubery was left dazed, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at her, struggling to process what had just happened.

"Aurora Elvador!" He finally shouted, his voice laced with anger and confusion, but before he could get another word out, she slapped him again, harder this time. The impact sent his head snapping to the side. Chapter 56 Nothing? 3/8 Three sharp slaps echoed through the room, each one leaving a bright red mark on Hubery's once handsome face, his skin now bruised and the outlines of fingers clear on his skin. The polished, elegant image he once had was now gone, shattered in an instant. Aurora stared at him with a cold, unwavering gaze. There was no fear in her eyes, only an icy resolve.
