Aurora Donovan was completely stunned by Arabella Donovan's guess. He no longer felt that his sister's earlier complaint had been an attempt to pin the blame on him.
Why hadn't he thought to just walk and talk earlier, to get away from this hornet's nest sooner?
If he had, he wouldn't be stuck here now, looking at this disgusting creature that was polluting his sight.
This piece of filth was so foul it hurt to look at, yet he actually dared to have designs on his sister. It was a classic case of a toad lusting after a swan—ugly on the outside, but full of beautiful delusions.
"If my Serena really wants a tour of the lab, I, her brother, will be the one to show her around. We won't trouble Mr. Spencer."
Julian Spencer, however, was completely unbothered by Aurora Donovan's passive-aggressive and resentful tone.
From his perspective, Aurora Donovan's current defensiveness only confirmed the rumors about how much he doted on and cared for his sister, Arabella Donovan.
