After Divorce, I Became A Queen novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 Highland Resort

Here was her plan: as long as she found a way to steal Morgan outside, Sion would hardly suspect her.

Confirming herself in the plan, Aurora perked up and was about to call Sion. She got herself prepared and sent a text message to that number, reading, "Mr Carroll, are you free tomorrow?"

Very soon, she received a message of consent from the other side, while Aurora was still in a daze.

As she thought, she could invite him with a reason of being urged by Elle, for the business of her family's business. After repenting inside in advance, she made a video call to Elle.

"Hey, Elle, can you send me the address of the resort?"

"Are you not gonna refuse my invitation?"

While texting the address on the phone, Elle was pretending she was angry and said, "The resort is rather popular with the rich. I don't believe it doesn't appeal to you."

"You're right." Aurora laughed.

Aurora received the address and immediately forwarded it to Sion. Jokingly, she said, "I must have no taste if I'm willing to go see this place."

After a few more jokes, she explained the situation to Elle.

"So your task tomorrow is to keep Sion occupied." Said Aurora.

Elle nodded seriously on camera, "Yes, madam!"

The next morning, Aurora briefed her staff before driving off to pick up Elle. Elle looked at her strangely and asked why they were going separately if they were supposed to be going together.

Aurora replied nonchalantly while shifting gears. "It's all an act anyway. Why should I go pick him up? He can meet me there."

Meeting Sion directly at the resort entrance was the best option for them both.

Elle nodded thoughtfully in agreement as they drove deeper into the mountains towards their destination, a newly built luxury resort that catered to every whim of its wealthy clientele.

The winding mountain roads finally levelled out as they approached their destination's parking lot, where Aurora spotted Sion standing beside his Maybach in his finest attire.

She rolled her eyes internally. And she parked her car before greeting him with a smile.

"Aurora..."

"Good morning, Mr Carroll."

Sion's smile froze when he saw Elle emerge from behind Aurora, feeling his blood pressure rising uncomfortably high.

But Elle remained unfazed by any awkwardness. Aurora walked hand-in-hand with Elle towards him and said cheerfully, "Mr Carroll since Elle owns this new resort that just opened recently, we've been trying our best to promote it through various means including asking for help from friends like you."

Sion couldn't believe what he was hearing; how could it be possible that after all these years of knowing each other suddenly out-of-the-blue requests like this would come about?

He gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

"Of course, I don't mind helping out." Said he.

He knew now why Aurora had asked him out so suddenly-it was all part of some elaborate plan involving promoting Elle's family business-but Elle's presence made things even more uncomfortable than before. His mood was fully displayed on his face, but Elle remained oblivious, smiling and introducing them like a qualified guide. She even asked for Sion's opinion on some places they visited.

Sion dealt with her while occasionally glancing at Aurora.
