"Bang!" A loud noise erupted.

The bathroom door was kicked open.

Aurelia Shaw looked at the intruder—the woman she had splashed with water earlier, followed by five burly men dressed in black, who slowly approached her at the woman's signal. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Aurelia nonchalantly raised her eyebrows and took a step back.

The woman thought Aurelia was intimidated, and laughed arrogantly, "Weren't you feeling pretty smug just now? Keep feeling smug then. Now, I'll let you see whose territory you're in. A mistress daring to act so arrogantly on my turf.

Strip her clothes off."

The last command was directed at her subordinates.

"Doing such things, you'd better close the door, right?" Aurelia glanced at the door behind her.

"You don't need to remind me of that!" The woman forcefully slammed the door shut, "Let's see how smug you can be! Strip her clothes!"

Aurelia's red lips curled into a seductive, dangerous smile.

...

"No... don't come closer!" The woman screamed in panic.

In front—five men lay battered and bruised on the floor, sprawled in disarray. Aurelia flexed her wrist, producing a crisp "crack" sound from her bones. Her cold, alluring eyes carried a shallow smile, yet made people shiver.

She stepped toward the woman.

"No... don't come closer, stay away..."

Aurelia smelled a pungent odor, her brows furrowed in displeasure, and her gaze swept across, noticing a yellow puddle on the ground.

"Pathetic." She cursed softly, "So, how should I deal with you now?"

"Ghost... devil... devil!" The woman twisted open the door and fled, screaming for help.

...

"Pathetic." Aurelia threw the paper towel she used to wipe her fingers into the trash bin. Something flashed in her mind, remembering Mason Nightshade often said that on the bed.

For some reason, her face flushed, her crimson lips curved up, and Aurelia cheerfully hummed a tune.

A group of people came storming down the corridor, led by Anna Reed with the woman Aurelia had scared into wetting her pants beside her.

Anna impatiently frowned, "Stop crying! Whining away, where's the person who bullied you?"

The woman was about to speak, caught a glimpse of Aurelia from the corner of her eye, and displayed a terrified expression.

Anna frowned, looking over, finding the elegant figure familiar, "Was it you who bullied my friend? Do you know whose territory you're in? Don't think just because you've hooked up with some rich person, you can offend anyone. Didn't anyone tell you that some people in Q City shouldn't be messed with?"

The woman told her that her bully was a kept woman, and Anna naturally assumed the same.

"Miss Reed is really good at throwing her weight around, worthy of the mayor's precious daughter," Aurelia said with a smile.

Anna felt the voice was familiar, and Aurelia took off her scarf. Upon seeing the stunningly beautiful face, Anna's eyes widened instantly, "Aurelia Shaw!"

Aurelia glanced at the woman, her eyes indifferent, "I didn't know she was your friend, if I did, I would have held back. But the bathroom incident was instigated by her, you can ask for the details.

I have friends waiting for me, so I won't stay longer."

Anna blocked her; she couldn't stand Aurelia's arrogant and flamboyant demeanor.

She was clearly not inferior to her in every aspect, her status even more prestigious, yet why did Aurelia always act superior in front of her?
