Chapter 5 Farewell to the Past

"Oh, I didn't know Finn cared so much about his sister. Maybe I remembered it wrong."

Aurora said deliberately, and Finn's face instantly showed a trace of embarrassment, looking at her with slight annoyance.

"Aurora, can you stop being so petty about the past?"

"Who's being petty? Not only petty but also shameless."

Aurora snorted coldly. In her previous life, she always spoke cautiously, trying not to mention the past. But whenever Bianca complained, the Johnson family would repeatedly bring up the past to suppress her.

She was petty for mentioning the past, but they weren't? How ridiculous.

"Sister, you..."

"Don't call me sister. I have no family left; they're all dead. No brothers or sisters, why are you so familiar?"

After saying that, Aurora turned and left. The three of them looked at each other, except for Bianca, Michael and Finn's faces were very unpleasant.

This Aurora was getting more and more outrageous, even cursing them to die.

"How can Aurora say that? After all, Michael and Finn, you do care about her."

"Ignore her, she'll regret it eventually."

Michael softened his expression, gently patted Bianca's shoulder, and spoke in a comforting tone.

Finn also nodded, "Aurora has been undisciplined since childhood, maybe she's used to being willful. She'll realize her mistakes when she's desperate."

Bianca nodded, feeling increasingly smug, and the three of them entered the office, chatting and laughing.

On the other side, Aurora sneezed twice in a row while sitting in the car.

She rubbed her nose indifferently and took out her phone to open her social media account.

Before being taken back by the Johnson family, her account and various PR were basically unmanaged by the small company she was with; she managed everything herself.

After being found by the Johnson family, Hayden, the president of the Johnson Group, directly took her to terminate the contract with her original company.

At that time, she thought Hayden genuinely cared about her development, so she signed with the Johnson Group without hesitation. But unexpectedly, in over a year, the resources she received were not even as good as those from the small company, and the quantity was even less.

Michael didn't care about her at all, and having a manager was like not having one.

She later realized that Hayden wanted her to sign with the Johnson Group just to control her. After all, he was the boss, and she had to take whatever assignments he gave her.

In the end, it was all to pave the way for Bianca.

Thinking of this, Aurora opened her social media profile, deleted all the posts Michael had casually made, and cleared all the information he had packaged for her, then re-edited everything herself.

None of the Johnson family genuinely wished her well. Michael, as her manager for over a year, never put in any effort. In contrast, Bianca, in just over a year since her debut, had received many good resources.

Some were snatched from her, and some were given by Hayden using his connections or money to promote her.

Aurora only saw through the Johnson family before her death in her previous life. Fortunately, in this life, she had a chance to start over.

Her account had many negative comments, but as she deleted the posts, those comments were also removed, leaving the account empty. She quickly posted a new update.

A new beginning, a new life.

It had a sense of rebirth, which was also her current feeling.

Living a new life, getting rid of the shameless Johnson family, and living well and long.

Aurora's post quickly received comments. She still had some fan base, but most were haters.

Especially in the past year since she returned to the Johnson Villa, she had no good works, only some gossip news.

Although she was with Andrew, they hadn't gone public due to the nature of their professions. Once, she visited him on set, and a reporter happened to capture it.

At that time, Andrew was starring in a popular TV series, but the filming environment in the desert was harsh. Aurora felt sorry for him and often brought homemade meals.

When the filming ended, Aurora happened to be there, and Andrew suggested she take the crew's flight back. When they walked out of the airport together, fans captured the moment, and she immediately trended.

Her social media was flooded with insults, affecting several of her assignments. Hayden called her to the office and scolded her.

Aurora felt wronged but understood the seriousness of the situation, so she suggested to Andrew that they hold a press conference and go public with their relationship.

Andrew immediately refused, saying that going public would make her receive even more criticism. Aurora didn't mind and thought it would help him build a good image.

At that time, she valued Andrew more than her career, but she didn't expect him to betray her later.

Andrew insisted on not going public, so Aurora turned to her manager Michael, who dismissed it with, "It's just fans speculating, the hype will die down in a few days."

The Johnson Group ignored her, and Aurora was labeled as a fame-seeking actress, leaving her without any roles for two months.

Michael's so-called hype lasted for more than half a month. Just as it was dying down, she was photographed getting into Finn's nanny van.

This time, she was completely labeled as a fame-seeking actress with a chaotic private life, a seductress.

That time, Aurora had an accident on set, falling from a height of two meters. Sophia heard about it and made soup, asking Finn to bring it to her.

It was then that she thought Sophia cared about her, so when the news broke, she didn't think much of it. Later, she found out that the soup was originally for Bianca, and she was just an afterthought.

Finn was just passing by the hospital, not visiting her specifically.

Afterward, Finn, like Andrew, said nothing, letting the rumors spread.

That's why Aurora's resources and reputation worsened.

In contrast, Bianca, in just over a year since her debut, had starred in several major directors' films.

Once, when a new film was announced, Michael even brought Finn to publicly support her, giving her a lot of attention.

The internet was abuzz with speculation about their relationship, mocking Aurora for being abandoned. People said all sorts of things, and some even spammed her social media, calling her shameless.

The rumors lasted for days until the hype died down, and Finn finally clarified that Bianca was his sister. As for Aurora, he only said they weren't in a relationship, nothing more.

The Johnson family's attitude towards Aurora and Bianca was clear.

It was then that she considered leaving the Johnson family, but before she could decide, she died.

Thinking of this, Aurora gritted her teeth. She would never be soft-hearted again, and she would never believe anyone would be kind to her for no reason.

From now on, she would put herself first, and anyone who tried to bully her could get lost.
