Chapter 937: The Heiresses of the Duke Moville Residence
The crisp and clear sound of the barrel continuously amplified in her head and Wen Xinya could not help but berate herself for being too careless and conceited. She was too busy provoking Avrora and did not expect the latter to get physical.
Having experienced the painful and gruesome experience of death in her previous lifetime, being shot to death did not seem to be that terrifying at all.
In this lifetime, she had also encountered several near-death experiences. However, even then, she was still filled with fear and horror. In this world, even ants had to struggle to survive, let alone humans.
“Avrora, I heard that you competed with Rex’s guest but ended up falling from the back of the horse. Tsk tsk tsk… you’re the best horseback rider in the circle and yet, you actually fell from the horse. How unbelievable!”
The sweet voice sounded pleasant despite the fact that she was making a derisive remark.
To Wen Xinya, the voice was just like a G.o.dsend. Avrora had no choice but to retract the gun reluctantly. The tension in her muscles eased up and cold sweat covered her back.
After ensuring that her life was temporarily out of danger, Wen Xinya smirked at Avrora.
With a petulant expression on her face, Avrora kept her eyes glued on Wen Xinya, filled with indignant emotions. She did not expect those women to show up at the critical moment to sabotage her plan.
Noticing the look on her face, Wen Xinya knew that those women were probably Avrora’s sisters and cousins.
In Wen Xinya’s opinion, Avrora’s sisters were rare beauties! They seemed to form a picturesque scenery by standing together in a straight line. Duke Moville indeed gave birth to stunningly gorgeous granddaughters. It was no wonder that Avrora was known as the most beautiful woman in Russia.
While Wen Xinya’s imagination ran wild, Avrora’s sisters were busy chit-chatting merrily.
“Avrora, did you suffer any major injuries after falling from the horse? Grandpa dotes on you the most. He’s going to be heartbroken if he finds out that you fell off the horse!” Duke Moville would also hit the roof when he found out, for Avrora had utterly embarra.s.sed him and the entire family.
“Avrora, haven’t I always told you not to compete with others every now and then? It’s a trivial issue if you lose, but it’ll be terrible if you end up hurting yourself. By then, the family’s name and reputation will be ruined too.”
Appearing extremely sullen, Avrora pursed her lips and remained silent.
One of the women stared at Wen Xinya with glistening gray eyes. “Avrora, this must Miss Bella, Rex’s plus one whom you competed with!”
It was not difficult to guess Wen Xinya’s ident.i.ty since she was Asian and dressed reasonably well.
Avrora answered smilingly, “Yes, she’s Miss Bella!”
The women continued to surround Wen Xinya while gossiping incessantly.
“Miss Bella, I didn’t think that you’d be this impressive at horseback riding. Even Avrora lost to you. It’s such a shame I couldn’t see your victory, Miss Bella.”
She probably just found it a shame that she couldn’t witness how disheveled and pathetic Avrora looked after falling off the horse and losing the compet.i.tion!
“By the way, Avrora, I just saw your maid holding Bella at gunpoint. Oh, dear! How could you do this to a valued guest? We don’t have the habit of aiming a gun at our guests.”
“Avrora, are you just upset and bearing a grudge against Miss Bella because she won you in the match? Is that why you harmed Miss Bella when everyone’s not noticing? Avrora, how could you be vicious?”
“Avrora, Bella is Rex’s plus one at the end of the day. If anything happens to her, how is Duke Moville supposed to answer to Rex?”
“Avrora, how could you act so brazenly and insensibly just because Grandpa pampers you? He’s going to be so disappointed if he finds out!”
Everyone chimed in, making Avrora feel extremely embarra.s.sed and ashamed.
Wen Xinya could not help but find that they were not to be trifled with.
Avrora’s face stiffened. “You guys… must have seen wrongly! Bela and I were just chatting!”
“Avrora, I just heard that you’ve used the sealed transferral doc.u.ment as a stake for your bet with Miss Bella. Yet, you lost to Miss Bella. Is this true?”
“Oh my G.o.d! Avrora, you’re really audacious. Grandpa loved you so much and yet, you had the gal to use the family’s pride and power as a stake. You’ve completely neglected our interests. I’m so disappointed in you.”
“Oh dear, is that true? Avrora, please tell me if the rumor that everyone is spreading is true. How could you do something like that? You’ve let Grandpa down…”
“You’re really atrocious. You’re not fit to be a member of the Moville family at all. Even if Grandpa usually dotes on you, he won’t tolerate this. Just you wait and see how he’ll punish you!”
At this moment, Liu Yanhua walked towards them and said, “Miss Bella, Ninth Young Master wants you to go back!”
Fortunately, I made it in time. Otherwise, I would be in deep trouble if anything happened to Missy.
Wen Xinya stood up and said to the ladies, “Dear Ladies, I’m sorry but Rex is looking for me because of something important. I shall make a move first. You guys carry on.”
Avrora’s face grew completely sullen and she glowered at her. It was only a matter of time before Duke Moville found out about what she had done and she would end up in a terrible plight.
Wen Xinya glanced at Avrora before saying solemnly, “Thank you for the invite, Miss Avrora. I hope we’ll… meet again!”
She emphasized on the last few words, for she could foresee Avrora getting her deserts for losing the doc.u.ment.
Avrora lost control of her body and thumped herself down onto the couch, after which she finally realized that her ankle was hurting because of the sprain.
Before the rest could even react, Wen Xinya had already left together with Liu Yanhua. When they were not noticing, several men dressed in black had hidden around the room, all of whom were armed with weapons hidden beneath their sleeves.
Avrora turned pale, not expecting that Si Yiyan would plant his men there. The thought of herself getting physical with Wen Xinya earlier on made her s.h.i.+ver. She was certain that she would be the first one to get defeated!
