Chapter 744 Like Mother, Like Daughter
Aura was quickly taken to the basement, where Cyrus and Gray had been held captive for days.
"Aura must have been killed!" Gray curled up in a corner, her words tinged with despair.
"It's all my fault..." Cyrus tried to console her, but Gray's next words pierced his heart.
"I should never have let Aura and Darwin stay on the island! If they weren't here, Darwin would never be found, and he could have lived happily ever after with Aura, just like you and I, Dad!"
Cyrus was on the verge of collapse. "Mom, don't you realize what we did wrong? Darwin was Fiona's, not Aura's! We caused immense harm by hiding him away!"
"What harm?" Gray looked up at Cyrus. "Isn't what she did to your sister harmful? Cyrus, no matter how much you like that woman, you shouldn't value her more than your sister!"
"Forget it!" Cyrus waved his hand, feeling a deep sense of despair. He had never realized how biased his mother could be. "
What do you mean, forget it? You can't! Cyrus, you must escape, you must find your uncle and let him avenge your sister!" Gray's voice fell silent.
The warehouse door opened, and a cold voice came from the entrance. "Uncle? Are you referring to the leader of the Azure Wharf gang?"
"Miss Woods!" Cyrus wanted to step forward.
"Don't move from there!" Burl pointed at Cyrus, his impatience evident.
Cyrus remained in place. Gray tried to rush toward Fiona, but Cyrus quickly held her back.
"What about my daughter? What have you done to my daughter?" Gray struggled and screamed Aura's name and ran toward her. However, Aura seemed not to see her brother and mother. She tried to crawl to Fiona. "Miss Woods, I beg you, don't take Blaise away, I can do anything for you, just please give him back to me!" Aura cried out. She had lost all her previous arrogance in front of Fiona. The thought of never seeing her again after Fiona took Darwin away made Aura feel worse than death.
A crisp slap resounded. The commotion immediately ceased. Aura held her face, shocked at Cyrus, who had just slapped her.
"Cyrus, what are you doing?" Gray pushed Cyrus away, protecting Aura. "My daughter has already been bullied enough, and now you hit her, are you even human?"
"Mom, get a grip, he's Darwin, not Blaise! Listen to what she's saying!" Cyrus was in despair. "Why did things turn out like this!"
"Cyrus, you don't want me anymore just to please Fiona, is that it?" Aura smiled bitterly. "You're ridiculous, what's the point of doing this? She's still single-mindedly trying to steal my Blaise!"
"What are you all standing there for?" Fiona's patience ran out. The bodyguards moved in. The bodyguards immediately separated the three of them.
"Hit her!" Fiona instructed.
"Yes!" Christopher didn't hesitate. Christopher walked up and slapped Aura.
"Fiona!" Cyrus immediately pleaded.
"You come, let's talk." Fiona waved to Cyrus. Cyrus was somewhat taken aback. He glanced at Aura, gritting his teeth, and walked toward Fiona.
"You're the one who brought Darwin to the island." Fiona stared at Cyrus, asking each word.
Cyrus lowered his eyelids, not daring to meet her gaze. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to save Darwin at the time, so that he owed me a life-saving favor, and I could ask him to stay at my family's hotel, I didn't expect things to develop into what they are now!"
Fiona never expected that. It was for such a stupid reason that she and Darwin were separated for so long. If Darwin hadn't been lucky, with such injuries, he would have died long ago in this place, relying on unprofessional people for treatment.
"If you had brought him directly to me, I would have been grateful to you, even if you had asked me to give you the island, I would not have hesitated at all! Do you know, he was almost killed because of you?" Fiona asked angrily.
"I know I was wrong, Miss Woods, please give me a chance to make amends, I can be a servant..."
"Cyrus, don't beg her!" Gray roared.
Fiona looked at Gray coldly. Cyrus immediately felt alarmed. "Miss Woods, my mom..."
"Gray, I've checked all your information," Fiona ignored Cyrus and said coldly, "I couldn't understand how shameless Aura was, she knew Darwin was already married, yet she insisted on being with him. But after seeing what you did, I can understand it all, Aura is just learning from her mother."
"Miss Woods, you're talking nonsense!" Cyrus frowned.
"Christopher, that's enough. Let Cyrus and Aura listen to their mother's story."
Christopher stopped. Aura's cheeks were swollen. However, her mind was still clear.
"Miss Woods, it was me. My mom and sister were involved because of me, please..."
"Do you know how your father died?" Fiona suddenly asked, and Cyrus's voice immediately disappeared.
"Sea snake venom," Cyrus replied. At that time, he and his sister were both outside. When they came back, their father was already dead. Fiona looked at Gray, who had turned pale.
"Gray, is that how your husband died?"
"Yes!" Gray answered stiffly.
Fiona laughed. She took two steps in place. "Thirty years ago, you were still the young lady of the Azure Wharf gang, and your husband was a medical student who came here for a visit."
"Shut up!" Gray suddenly realized that Fiona seemed to have really found out something, and she immediately panicked and rebuked.
"The young lady of the gang was not very good-looking, but she fell for the handsome and polite medical student, so you immediately started pursuing him. Unfortunately, this medical student already had a fiancee he had grown up with since childhood, and their relationship was very good. The two families had already discussed it, and they were going to get married when the medical student graduated." "
