Yvonne Vaughn's sobs grew increasingly wretched, giving Aurora Sterling a splitting headache. Her mind felt so foggy she could barely think. She kept shooting Damien Valerius pleading looks, but the man remained indifferent, a smile playing on his lips as if he were enjoying a good show.
In truth, Damien Valerius understood his mother all too well. He knew that if he didn't let Yvonne Vaughn vent her remorse, she would carry on like this, on and on without end.
His aunt and Scott Vaughn couldn't bear to watch any longer. They both tried to console Yvonne Vaughn, who was trapped in a spiral of self-blame, but their words had little effect.
Fighting back a wave of nausea, Aurora Sterling shot Damien Valerius a glare, then turned to face Yvonne Vaughn, feeling completely overwhelmed.
'I have no idea what to do.'
'Dealing with a scheming bitch? No problem.'
'Taking on a burly brute? Also no problem.'
