After Divorce I Became A Queen (Aurora and Sion)

Chapter 256 Highland Resort

Chapter 256 Highland Resort

Here was her plan: as long as she found a way to steal Morgan outside, Sion would hardly suspect her.

Confirming herself in the plan, Aurora perked up and was about to call Sion. She got herself prepared

and sent a text message to that number, reading, "Mr Carroll, are you free tomorrow?"

Very soon, she received a message of consent from the other side, while Aurora was still in a daze.

As she thought, she could invite him with a reason of being urged by Elle, for the business of her

family's business. After repenting inside in advance, she made a video call to Elle.

"Hey, Elle, can you send me the address of the resort?"

"Are you not gonna refuse my invitation?"

While texting the address on the phone, Elle was pretending she was angry and said, "The resort is

rather popular with the rich. I don't believe it doesn't appeal to you."

"You're right." Aurora laughed.

Aurora received the address and immediately forwarded it to Sion. Jokingly, she said, "I must have no

taste if I'm willing to go see this place."

After a few more jokes, she explained the situation to Elle.

"So your task tomorrow is to keep Sion occupied." Said Aurora.

Elle nodded seriously on camera, "Yes, madam!"

The next morning, Aurora briefed her staff before driving off to pick up Elle. Elle looked at her strangely

and asked why they were going separately if they were supposed to be going together.

Aurora replied nonchalantly while shifting gears. "It's all an act anyway. Why should I go pick him up?

He can meet me there." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Meeting Sion directly at the resort entrance was the best option for them both.

Elle nodded thoughtfully in agreement as they drove deeper into the mountains towards their

destination, a newly built luxury resort that catered to every whim of its wealthy clientele.

The winding mountain roads finally levelled out as they approached their destination's parking lot,

where Aurora spotted Sion standing beside his Maybach in his finest attire.

She rolled her eyes internally. And she parked her car before greeting him with a smile.

"Aurora..."

"Good morning, Mr Carroll."

Sion's smile froze when he saw Elle emerge from behind Aurora, feeling his blood pressure rising

uncomfortably high.

But Elle remained unfazed by any awkwardness. Aurora walked hand-in-hand with Elle towards him

and said cheerfully, "Mr Carroll since Elle owns this new resort that just opened recently, we've been

trying our best to promote it through various means including asking for help from friends like you."

Sion couldn't believe what he was hearing; how could it be possible that after all these years of

knowing each other suddenly out-of-the-blue requests like this would come about?

He gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

"Of course, I don't mind helping out." Said he.

He knew now why Aurora had asked him out so suddenly-it was all part of some elaborate plan

involving promoting Elle's family business-but Elle's presence made things even more uncomfortable

than before. His mood was fully displayed on his face, but Elle remained oblivious, smiling and

introducing them like a qualified guide. She even asked for Sion's opinion on some places they visited.

Sion dealt with her while occasionally glancing at Aurora.

After all, Elle was Aurora's best friend. He needed to stay calm. He reminded himself in his heart, but

he still felt unhappy no matter what he thought.

Aurora noticed the change in his expression, feeling disdainful of him inside. Was there anyone else in

the world who could pretend better than him?

"What a coincidence!" Suddenly, a male voice interrupted them. Seth and a group of beautiful ladies

were laughing and playing around when they unexpectedly saw someone interesting. His eyebrows

twitched as he became interested.

He waved to the ladies beside him and walked over to Sion familiarly, putting his arm around Sion's

shoulder.

"Wow! Mr Carroll also brings girl... brings friends here?"

His gaze circled around Aurora once before landing on Elle. His eyes lit up meaningfully as he spoke

up again, "Miss Ford has been famous for long."

Elle didn't notice his gaze and politely greeted him back, "Thank you for taking care of our business

here, Mr Harvey."

People in this circle knew each other more or less regardless of whether they had met before or not;

therefore she wasn't unfamiliar with Seth either.

Naturally, Aurora also knew him, Sion's best friend and heir of the Harvey family, a playboy who didn't

take anything seriously outside work.

Sion pulled away Seth's hand and asked, "You can come here, can't I?"

Seth raised an eyebrow, seeing Sion's sulky look. It was rare seeing Sion being so submissive. How

could he miss this opportunity to tease him?

Seth turned his head towards Aurora pleasingly, "Aurora, you guys seem unbalanced with only three

people here; do you mind if I join you?"

Sion's face turned even darker now.

There was already Elle between him and Aurora here; and now here came Seth who enjoyed watching

drama.

"Yes."

"No."

Two voices sounded simultaneous. Seth and Elle unexpectedly looked at each other.

Seth became competitive enough while he had just joined them out of curiosity a few minutes ago.

Sion's face darkened to the extreme. Since the three of them were on the same team, his answer

would make little difference. Then he glanced at Seth, suddenly realizing something-that Seth joining

them might be a good thing for him, for Seth could accompany Elle while he would have more time to

talk with Aurora.

Therefore, Sion acquiesced.

A group of four would be able to enjoy more entertainment projects. Elle continued to introduce the

resort to them, and she recalled what Aurora had told her before.

So she suggested, "What about entertainment?"

"I'm in." Seth said cheerfully, "What do you want to play?"

Aurora checked the time naturally and smiled, saying, "Have it your way."

"Okay." Sion echoed Aurora's idea while standing behind her.

"Let's see, what's something fun?" Elle murmured while swiping on her phone.

At this moment, Seth was staring at her side face. And he approached her naturally and said, "That's

quite a lot."

Standing beside them, Aurora noticed Seth's move, feeling something wrong with him.
