Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 113

Aurora and Camille had crossed paths at various social gatherings but weren't close.

"I'm fine, thanks," Camille calmed her inner panic and smiled.

"Why did you shove her all of a sudden?"

Aurora glanced at Samantha.

The auction ended, so guests began to spill out of the private rooms. Their curious gazes lingered on Samantha.

Since she didn't want to make a scene, Samantha disdainfully glanced at Camille. With a smirk, Samantha thought she had done Camille a favor by unveiling the imposter's true face in front of everyone.

Samantha tossed Camille's mask into the non-recyclable trash, clapped her hands, and gracefully made her exit. Unbeknownst to her, her actions didn't reveal Camille's true identity. Instead, her mistake led everyone to believe Camille was Dr. Shadow.

Samantha would later regret her mistake deeply.

"What's up with her?"

Aurora glanced at Samantha's departing figure and was speechless by her actions. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Camille calmly observed the curious glances from everyone around and smiled.

She explained, "Don't worry. She is just messing around with me."

With a single statement, she turned the tension into friendly banter.

Aurora glanced at the room number beside them, which happened to be 508. She remembered it was Bidder 508 who had claimed the Eclipse Stone from the grandmaster and stolen all the spotlight that day.

Then there was Samantha, the international movie star, who shared the same room. Aurora couldn't help but connect the dots, especially with Camille's nonchalant comment hinting at a familiarity between them.

Looking at Camille's red cloak and the discarded golden mask, Aurora began to suspect Camille was the anonymous miracle doctor. Camille was born into a prestigious medical family and had shown extraordinary talent in medicine since childhood. She was hailed as a medical prodigy.

Aurora's excitement surged as she concluded that Camille was the anonymous miracle doctor everyone whispered about. The revelation felt like stumbling upon something precious without even seeking it.

"Congratulations, Dr. Shadow, on acquiring the Eclipse Stone. I'm the CEO of Carson Pharmaceutical Company. I hope we can collaborate sometime."

At that moment, a portly bald man smiled and handed a business card.

"Dr. Shadow, I'm from Farcen Emporium. Could I schedule an appointment with you to have my father treated?"

"Dr. Shadow, here's a business card from the Liam family. Thank you for accepting it."

"Dr. Shadow, could I get your contact information?"

"Dr. Shadow, would you consider selling the Eclipse Stone? I can offer one billion."

…

A crowd of curious onlookers swarmed around Camille. She wanted to explain that they had mistaken her for Dr. Shadow.

But she hesitated before the words could escape her lips. She might not be Dr. Shadow, but she did know medicine.

Just as she was hesitating, the bodyguard Aurora had summoned came to Camille's rescue and ushered her out of the crowd.

Inside the elevator, Camille expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, Ms. Killian."

"You're welcome. I just didn't expect you to be the anonymous miracle doctor we were looking for," Aurora replied as she eyed Camille intently.

Camille understood the implication behind Aurora's words as a fleeting moment of guilt flashed across her eyes.

"Does someone in your family need medical attention?" she asked.

"You're indeed perceptive. I won't hide it from you. My grandmother and I were after the Eclipse Stone tonight, but when she saw your bid, she deliberately backed out of the bidding."

Aurora's words hit the nail on the head. Just like Hera had said earlier tonight, it all boiled down to money—who couldn't afford it?

The Killians' decision to back off from the bidding competition gave Hera the chance to compete with the grandmaster and ultimately secure the Eclipse Stone.

But Camille wasn't Hera, and she didn't deny it.

As the elevator approached the ground floor, Camille smiled and handed Aurora a business card.

"Let's sit down for a chat when you're free. I have to go for now."

Aurora looked at the business card with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Finally, there was hope for her illness.
