Chapter 973: So What If You’re an Aristocrat?

Chapter 973: So What If You’re an Aristocrat?

Wen Xinya stared at the household register, well aware that Avrora would write Wen Xinya’s name on the last page of the Houston Family’s household register so long as she handed the document over. Afterward, she would assume the identity of Duke Houston’s illegitimate daughter and succeed his position.

There were five levels of being a duke, and Duke Houston was at the bottom of the hierarchy. However, he enjoyed lots of benefits that were granted only to major families. As a woman, she would only have to sit back and enjoy the privileges of being in the Duke’s position, unlike other male successors who had to contribute outstandingly to the family in order to prove their worth.

To her, it was just like a huge privilege that fell straight onto her lap.

Avrora had really concocted a shrewd plan.

However… Wen Xinya handed the household register to Avrora smilingly and said, “Miss Avrora, your suggestion is very attractive, but since I’ve already handed the document over to Rex, I won’t go back on my word and get involved.”

Although Avrora’s scheme was well-devised, she had made a move on the wrong person. Not everyone would use benefits and privileges as a measure to determine the value of everything, and not everyone was as mercenary and self-centered as Avrora as to only plan for herself.

As soon as Avrora said those words, she understood that Duke Houston was closely related to Duke Moville and that they were clearly in cahoots. Once Wen Xinya agreed to Avrora’s request, she would be closely tied to Duke Moville’s interests. Since Si Yiyan did not plan to join in the power struggle between aristocrats and wanted to retain Lucifer’s extraordinary and neutral position in Russia, why would she implicate Si Yiyan for the sake of the position of a duke?

Completely dumbfounded, Avrora said, “Miss Bella, I think you have to reconsider your choice. You went through such painstaking means to get the document from me. Aren’t you just trying to use this to help Rex? Since there’s a better opportunity for you to bring about more benefits to Rex, why are you turning it down?”

Wen Xinya smiled and remained silent. There was no need for her to let Avrora know what she was truly thinking.

Avrora merely felt that Wen Xinya was giving her suggestion some thought. She did not actually think that Wen Xinya would turn her down. “Miss Bella, are you worried that I’d lie to you and that all of these are just tricks that I’m using to get the document back from you?”

She refused to believe that Wen Xinya was not tempted by the offer. Every year, plenty of wealthy families and tycoons spent great fortunes just for the sake of a superficial title as a duke. She did not think that Wen Xinya would let the opportunity slip.

Shaking her head, Wen Xinya answered, “That’s not what I want.”

They were not on the same note at all. Hence, Wen Xinya did not bother talking much.

However, Avrora simply felt that Wen Xinya was just being greedy and displeased with the conditions. “Miss Bella, what exactly must I do to make you return the document?”

An icy cold gaze formed in Wen Xinya’s eyes as she stared at Avrora. “Miss Avrora, are you illiterate? I’ve already told you, I handed this document over to Rex. So, if you must get it back at all costs, please go look for Rex instead.”

She genuinely did not wish to continue this nonsense with Avrora.

Avrora refused to believe her words. She felt that the only way Si Yiyan would regard Wen Xinya with respect was by possessing the document. That was the only way she could secure her footing in Lucifer too. Growing impatient, Avrora snapped. “Miss Bella, don’t go overboard. I came here to discuss this with you out of sincerity. What are you trying to do by turning me down again and again?”

Wen Xinya’s lips curled into a smirk and she looked extremely stern. “Miss Avrora, do you know what it means to admit defeat and keep to your word? Since you’ve lost the document to me, it means that that document belongs to me now. Since it belongs to me, it’s up to me to decide whether or not to return it to you. What rights have you got to question me?”

Her words were like daggers being pierced through Avrora’s heart, making her shiver. “Miss Bella, don’t forget that the Moville Family is an aristocrat family at the end of the day.”

Despite being aristocrats, they lowered their pride and paid Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan a visit sincerely. Yet, they completely disregarded and disrespected them.

Wen Xinya dashed forwards and grabbed Avrora’s neck. “So what if you’re an aristocrat?” she questioned coldly.

Her derisive words flashed through Avrora’s mind over and over again, making the latter feel ashamed, embarrassed and humiliated. Avrora tensed up, finding it almost impossible to breathe. It was as if her slender neck would snap anytime soon.

She suddenly thought about the time when she taught Anatoli a lesson during the banquet. At this moment, Wen Xinya was much more aggressive. “What… what do you want?” Avrora questioned, struggling to speak.

Wen Xinya sneered. “Do you dare believe that I’ll twist your neck and break it right now? I’ll just be dirtying my hands at the very most.”

Duke Moville wouldn’t go against Si Yiyan for the sake of a small fry like Avrora. After all, she was just a pawn of his. Yet, she had still ironically not been able to know her place.

Avrora struggled to breathe with all her might and began to grunt uncomfortably. It was as if she was facing her last struggle before death.

Wen Xinya burst into laughter and let go of her throat, after which Avrora fell onto the ground, no longer having the energy to move at all.

Wen Xinya looked down at her from above. Smiling radiantly, she gibed. “Miss Avrora, I’ve already told you long ago that your aristocratic rules don’t apply to me. Since you refuse to believe me, I had no choice but to let my actions do the talking!” She continued to guffaw innocently as if she was not the one who just tried to strangle Avrora. “I… didn’t scare you just now, did I, Miss Avrora? I’m really sorry. I was just joking.”

Avrora laid on the ground feebly with her hands on her throat, gasping as hard as she could for fresh air.

Wen Xinya did not plan to just let her off so easily. She squatted down slowly and grabbed her hair, causing her head to be lifted up. Avrora had no choice but to hold her gaze. “Next time, remember not to harbor designs on men belonging to other women. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death.” Wen Xinya warned.

She let go of Avrora’s head, stood up and turned around to leave.

Avrora’s head was smashed onto the ground forcefully and her messy hair parted to reveal her injured forehead.
