A faint, elusive smile touched the corners of the woman's lips.
She was dressed simply but with unmistakable taste-a crisp white blouse, perfectly tailored, paired with a dark,
flowing skirt.
Her long hair was loosely gathered at the nape of her neck, a few strands slipping free to frher face and
lend her an air of effortless elegance.
Every movement radiated a quiet confidence and grace-never ostentatious, always just right.
The young man spoke. "Father's heard about her too. From what | gather, he's actually thinking about bringing
Raven back into the Williams family. One way or another, she's caught his attention."
Lately, Stella had becthe talk of Novaris, her non everyone's lips. Even the Williams family, all the way
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtin Solmaris, couldn't help but hear whispers about her.
Aurora Williams asked, "What does Israel think about all this?"
He replied, “If she keeps her head down and doesn't cause trouble, bringing her back is hardly more than setting
one extra place at the table. But after seeing her last time, | doubt she'll be content to fade quietly into the
background."
His handsface remained impassive, as if they were discussing a stranger- no anger, no mockery, not even a
flicker of emotion. Just a bottomless indifference.
Aurora's tone was calm and gentle, soothing as a stream. "Raven's been away so long, I'm sure she's realized
her mistakes by now. She's always been Father's concern. We should bring her home."
"But..." He hesitated, glancing at her. "If she returns, she'll only make things difficult for you."
Aurora shook her head lightly. "I was too young, too impulsive back then. It was just an engagement-if she wants
him, she can have him."
She paused, her voice softening further. "Besides, he was her fiancé to begin with."
His brow furrowed. "But you were the one who grew up with Sherman Burton, and he's always cared for you."
"Coleman." Setting her teacup aside, Aurora's voice was steady. "I've only ever seen Sherman as an older
brother."
"You might foot everyone else, but
not me." Coleman Williams looked at her, and for once, his cool gaze softened with a touch of warmth. "You used
to go on and on about marrying Sherman when you were little."
Aurora could only laugh quietly. "Coleman, that was just childish talk. It means nothing now."
Letting the matter drop, Coleman continued, "Either way, Sherman isn't good enough for you anymore."
Aurora was the leading debutante in high society beautiful, intelligent, the very picture of grace. She was the
darling of the elite, the dream of everywell-bred young man, and wherever she went, she drew admiring glances.
She was, in every sense, a living standard-a model of poise and charm, a walking textbook of refined manners.
Like her name, she was the dawn-radiant and dazzling.
Mention Aurora, and you'd find no shortage of admirers. She was the pride of the Williams family.
Coleman went on, "You've always been top of your class, a born scholar. You could've gone straight into The
Williams Group. But for sreason, Father insisted you study the arts."
Aurora had always been an academic star-no one could outscore her, not ever. She possessed a rare, almost
uncanny talent for the sciences.
Yet Skyler Williams, believing there was no need for a girl to work so hard or push herself so much, insisted
Aurora pursue music and the arts instead.
When it ctfor college applications, Aurora's homeroom teacher even met with Skyler, hoping to get her
into a top technical university, to let her talent benefit society. Skyler, however, turned him down without a
second thought.
