Mrs. Sterling's question was direct, and Damien Valerius didn't beat around the bush. He nodded straightforwardly. "That's right. Before Mr. Sterling left the Valerius estate, he received a call from you, Grandma. I vaguely overheard you two discussing what happened today. To prevent any misunderstandings and to protect Aurora's reputation, I felt it was necessary to come and explain in person." After speaking, Damien Valerius turned to solemnly face the great-uncles and others, who were clearly regarding him with ill intent. "I am the man in the video. I was the one with Aurora that day. The online rumors are all false, so please, do not misunderstand Aurora. If this video has caused any of you inconvenience, I apologize. Everything is my responsibility and has nothing to do with Aurora."
Aurora Sterling watched the scoundrel, with his dashing, aristocratic air and the smile playing on his lips, and could only think, 'What a hypocrite! A complete and utter hypocrite!'
