Novel Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 2886

Bouquets of fresh flowers filled up the entire ward with words of blessing written on the cards that accompanied them. It was said that Aurora’s fans sent them, but nobody knew the actual truth.

Mateo was holding a bouquet of lilies as he pushed the door open. He squinted at Aurora, who was lying on the bed with a sickly look, before smiling.

“Do you feel any better, Aurora?”

For a brief moment, a hint of resentment flashed in his mind.

‘How did she get so lucky? She got saved by a fisherman?!’

‘I investigated that man’s entire family. He’s the real deal. He’d go past Victoria Harbor every single day…’

While Mateo regretted not noticing that small detail, he found the situation as a whole a complete waste.

After all, time was a very important factor for the entire plan.

If Aurora died last night, she’d be able to fan the flames against Queenie even harder and garner quite a lot of attention.

But after everything that had happened, what was the point if Aurora tried jumping to her death again?

If Queenie found out that this was a deliberate plan, Mateo would be stuck in a tight spot.

Even though he felt extremely resentful about it, he decided to let Aurora live. He planned to wait for another chance to use her life again.

Aurora was just a pawn, but she was an extremely valuable one.

“Thanks for your concern, Mr. Mateo.”

“I’m fine.”

Aurora sat up, her face pale. She forced a pleasing smile in front of Mateo.

“My head feels a little dizzy. I don’t remember some things after I jumped into the sea…”

“I only remember trying to drag Queenie down the mud by doing that. I don’t remember anything else…”

“Right! My phone got soaked in water. Is it fine if you get me another?

It’s pretty inconvenient walking around without one.”

Aurora only stated that she was the one who had the idea of plunging into the sea, and had no recollection about her being hypnotized.

Mateo’s murderous intent went away before he said quietly, “You were the one who suggested the idea, Aurora.”

“But… It was my fault for not stopping you!”

“I thought you were just joking!”

“You should know you’re very important to me!”

“Promise me! You won’t do anything this reckless anymore. Understand?”

Aurora looked worried.

“But Queenie…”

A hint of resentment flashed in Mateo’s eyes as he recalled how his plan didn’t succeed.

“You shouldn’t worry about that anymore,” he coaxed her.

“Leave the rest to me. I’ll get the ghostwriters to attack Queenie online.”

“You should focus on resting. Don’t post anything online, either.”

“Build up your strength. When I need you again, I’ll put you out there.”

“Ah, yes. When I get the Hamilton family’s casino license, I’ll give you a fair share of the percentage according to our deal. I’ll tell Young Master Jason about the things you did for him as well.”

Mateo then reached out to tap Aurora’s shoulder warmly before leaving the room.

Aurora’s smile remained until Mateo left. The moment he was gone, her smile was replaced by an unspeakable look of resentment.

She knew that if it weren’t for Harvey’s meddling, or if she didn’t do a good enough job acting, Mateo would’ve pulled the trigger on her without hesitation.
