Aurelia Shaw’s investigation that Viscount Zhou was helping with had made progress, and Viscount Zhou was sending her the photos he had collected.
The notification sound for a message: your friend Dark Lord sent you a picture.
Aurelia ignored his ostentatious online name and opened the image immediately. Her mesmerizing eyes narrowed slightly and her lips curved in satisfaction.
Suddenly, an unexpected image leapt from the screen. In the photo, a man and a woman were embracing,
The third photo was even more direct...
Aurelia squinted her peach blossom eyes, a dark gleam flashing within. This woman was a far cry from competing with her; poor skin, a back full of acne. It’s unclear if the person who Photoshopped the pictures was trying to disgust her or was just lazy, as they hadn’t bothered to alter it. However—
Aurelia raised her hand, her slender, crystalline fingertips tracing the woman’s shoulder in the photo, where the absence of her unique birthmark was obvious.
There weren’t many people who knew about the birthmark on her shoulder, and for someone to accurately know its shape and Photoshop it onto a picture, it seemed the person who leaked the photo was someone close to her.
Someone close by, someone who knew about her shoulder’s birthmark, and had a photo of the birthmark.
Aurelia pondered for a moment, looking at the woman’s flirtatious expression in the photo. Suddenly, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen her somewhere before. Suddenly, Aurelia remembered!—In her past life, while browsing entertainment gossip news threads, she had seen this woman.
However, it wasn’t a good impression.
The news reported her having an affair with a certain director at a hotel, discovered by the director’s wife, who brought a large crowd of reporters to catch them red-handed, exposing it online. Afterward, the director, somehow, managed to earn his wife’s forgiveness, and they continued living sweetly together. In contrast, she was heavily criticized, attacked by netizens, and vanished from the entertainment industry.
Aurelia softly murmured her name, her fingers moving faster than her mind as she quickly typed out those three words to look her up in the search encyclopedia.
"Dovina, 22 years old, ha..."
Upon seeing this, Aurelia smirked derisively. Having faced death once, she treasured herself more, and felt nothing but deep contempt and disdain for women who debase themselves to achieve their goals.
Her fingers scrolled down to continue reading further.
Aurelia was surprised to find that this woman was actually in the same crew as her!
Why didn’t she remember?
Even though it was a recent memory, for Aurelia, it felt like it had been stored away for a long time. Upon careful reflection, she was astonished to find that she indeed had seen her in the production crew. However, since she hadn’t acted with her and with so many people coming and going within the crew, it was quite normal that she hadn’t remembered. This girl dressed quite innocently and was very polite in the crew, calling everyone brother. Yet, having mingled in bars and clubs from a young age, Aurelia had encountered many gold-digging, white lotus types. Even if there wasn’t anything apparent, there was a natural instinct.
This girl caused her to instinctively distance herself, and she hadn’t stored her in memory banks.
Suddenly, Aurelia thought of something.
Her fingers tapped the keyboard rapidly, pulling up a newly released Forum thread, her eyes narrowing with a cold glint.
