?<strong>Chapter 923:</strong>


    Light seeped through the crack in the door, briefly illuminating the man’s profile.


    Before Aurora could react, he shoved her forward and burst out behind her.


    Addie was walking by with a group of ssmates. The scene unfolded in seconds, and Aurora barely registered what had just happened.


    “Aurora, you…” Addie stammered, pointing at her in shock before shifting her gaze to her boyfriend.


    He adjusted his clothes hurriedly, his hands raised defensively, before dering loudly, “She was the one who seduced me!”


    Aurora froze. The words hit her like a p.


    Her stomach dropped as the realization hit—this was his n all along.


    Her eyes darted to Addie. The girl’s face contorted as tears fell on cue. Addie swatted at her boyfriend with mock outrage before stepping protectively by his side.


    “Aurora, I thought you were my best friend! How could you seduce my boyfriend?”


    Aurora didn’t know which of the two sentences was more ridiculous. But in such a short time, she hadn’te up with a response yet, and most of the ss had witnessed the scene.


    She was alone in the room with Addie’s boyfriend. How could she possibly deny it?


    Aurora forced herself to stay calm, pushing down the waves of humiliation.


    She locked eyes with Addie, her voice sharp and unwavering. “Addie, do you enjoy setting me up like this?”


    “Setting you up? Everyone saw it! What were you doing alone with my boyfriend in there? Are you so desperate without Rickey that you’re going after someone else’s man?”


    As soon as Addie finished speaking, Aurora pped her across the face. Aurora’s hand tingled from the impact, yet she harbored no regrets about striking Addie.


    In fact, if pushed to take further action, that p would have seemed gentle.


    “What gives you the right toy a hand on me?” Addie eximed, shock resonating in her voice.


    “Given the filth you were spewing, a p was the least you deserved,” Aurora retorted.


    Addie, reeling more from humiliation than pain, surveyed the crowd. Her ssmates shrank back, none daring to intervene, while her boyfriend, standing close by, ignored her.


    Confusion clouded Addie’s thoughts. It was Aurora who had crossed the line, yet here she was, the one who had been pped, with no oneing to her defense.


    “Aurora, this isn’t over, I swear it!” Addie hissed, her anger boiling over as she lunged toward Aurora. Fortunately, her ssmates intervened, holding her back just in time.


    Ovee with a mix of grievance and rage, Addie caused an uproar, loudly using Aurora of enticing her boyfriend. The party unraveled, ending in her angry tirade.


    Meanwhile, the distant mor reached Dunn, secluded in his private room.


    He caught Aurora’s name amidst themotion, causing him to pause, his hand tightening around his ss.


    “Apologies, something urgent just came up. I’ll need to head out for a while.”


    “Hey, Dunn!” The woman sitting across from Dunn failed to stop him.
