your name?” Aurora asked.
n call me Little Fish,” the young maid replied, smiling.
“Come with me, Aurora said.
Little Fish followed her into the room, where Aurora grabbed some ice for her to put on her face.
“How old are you?” Aurora asked,
“I’m 17,” Little Fish replied, her voice bright and innocent.
“Why aren’t you in school at 177 Why are you working as a maid and letting people push you around?” Aurora questioned.
“My family’s poor, and we can’t afford school. My mom’s sick, so I need to earn money for her treatment, Little Fish said, her voice heavy with sadness.
“What’s wrong with her?” Aurora asked.
“Lung cancer. She coughs horribly and needs chemotherapy. Each session costs a fortune,” Little Fish explained.
“Do you want to come with me? I’ll give y

“No, I don’t want your money, Miss Aurora, Little Fish refused.
“Why not?”
“I can earn money myself. My mom says not to take things from others without reason. Besides, no amount of money

“You won’t even take free money?” Aurora asked, growing more fond of the girl.

“Aren’t you afraid that since I’m not favored in the Pendleton family, you’ll be bullied too?” Aurora asked.
*You’d never let me be bullied, Miss Aurora. You’re protective of those close to you. Not like other heiresses, who are just mean,” Little Fish said.
“You’re quite clever!” Aurora laughed, playfully nudging her.
Little Fish covered her face, looking both funny and adorable.
“Miss Aurora, if you ever kill someone, I’ll help you clean up,” Little Fish said seriously.
Aurora looked at her and replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill anyone.”
They both burst into laughter.
Aurora wouldn’t kill anyone. She wasn’t Olivia, stained with blood. She had a chance to start over and only wanted to take her revenge and live a peaceful life,
“Miss Aurora, you’re not pregnant, right? Those servants were just talking nonsense, weren’t they? Little Fish asked.
“Why do you think I’m not pregnant?” Aurora asked, intrigued.

Hearing Aurora’s answer, Little Fish seemed even happier. Til go tell those gossipers to shut up!”
“No need. Let them think I’m pregnant,” Aurora said,
“Why?” Little Fish didn’t understand.
“How would a few servants know if I’ve been fooling around or if I’m pregnant?”
“It seems like gossip from the madam’s side.” Little Fish said. “I see those people going in and out of the madam’s and Miss Sophia’s rooms.”
How would Madam and Sophia know I’d get
pregnant?” Aurora asked.
Little Fish thought for a moment and suddenly said, “Did they set you up, Miss Aurora? So they think you must be pregnant?”
“Since they’re so concerned about me, I’ll certainly grant their wish!” Aurora said with a laugh.
“Miss Aurora, this won’t be good for your reputation, How will you marry in the future? Little Fish asked, worried.
“It doesn’t matter. I never planned to marry anyway,” Aurora said nonchalantly.
In previous life, she had only naively liked Dominic Ashcroft, who had met a tragic end in Cambodia. She didn’t dare to like anyone else now.
As for the pregnancy, she would personally help them step by step to achieve their goal. She wanted to see how this plot would end.
Madeline, Evelyn, Sophia – they were already at odds, and it was clear they’d fight to the end.
Did they want to battle it out to the death? Well, time would tell who would come out on top and who would fall by the wayside!
