Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 2107

The thumbnail of the video showed that the man was stomping his foot while pointing angrily at the upper floors of the building, and he appeared to be saying something as well.

It wasn't until after Ian and Aurora had leaned forward to peer at her screen that Cindy clicked into the footage. As soon as she hit play, the man's voice came out loud and clear. As expected, he had layered on the threats as he gestured wildly at the apartment, shouting belligerently about how he would not rest until they gave him the fifty million he asked for.

It was hard to tell if the man had no control over what he was saying or if he had only spilled such details in a fit of rage, but either way, he merely embarrassed himself in front of a crowd who had gathered to watch his tantrum.

The man was stomping his foot angrily, and he was turning crimson as he continued to threaten Aurora. He claimed that he would release more dirt about Ian this time if she did not comply with his request for fifty million. He also promised that the dirt would crush Ian's reputation into dust.

After that, he called Ian a scrooge who could not bear to part with a mere fifty million.

As the video continued to play, it became clear that the man's vocabulary was limited to threats despite prattling on senselessly. At the peak of his rage, he started to spill what he deemed were dirty secrets that could apparently ruin Aurora.

However, what he said next made Cindy believe he was a natural comic. He accused Aurora of being a terrible cook, and he had tolerated her abhorrent culinary skills—or the lack thereof—throughout their entire relationship. He also said that she was just as stingy as Ian and that she never contributed to the family.

He quickly followed these 'dirty secrets' with the scintillating tidbit where she had dumped him because she wanted to resume her career in the entertainment industry. He even claimed that Aurora felt he was only going to get in her way.


Toward the end, Cindy gave up on watching the video altogether. After all, she didn't want to poison her ears with such nonsense.

Ian had started out looking somber as he watched the video, but he eventually cracked up as he pointed out, "Now that I look at it, this guy is pretty adorable."

Aurora couldn't help jesting as well, "This is the first time I've seen such an adorable side of him!"

He had all the wicked intentions, but he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and his lack of intelligence simply did not match up to his villainous intentions. One had to sympathize with him for having such dedication in pulling off an evil scheme only to humiliate himself in the end.

The takeout was delivered by the time they finished watching the video, and Cindy was the one who went to the door to retrieve the food.

Judging by the number of paper bags, she could only assume that Ian had bought quite a spread. It seemed as if both he and Aurora had regained their appetites, though in all fairness, they hardly ate breakfast this morning.

They promptly set the food on the table. While opening the takeout containers, Aurora chuckled as she mused, "I do wonder how he would feel about himself after he sees the video making rounds on the internet."

Ian replied in amusement, "He'd probably think of himself as really adorable."

Aurora and Cindy laughed at this remark.

The three of them talked while they dug into the food. Before long, Hannah called.

Ian answered the call and put it on speaker. On the other line, Hannah asked if he had seen the online news, and one could hear the laughter in her voice.

Ian said that he had, and she replied with a bemused sigh, "I guess that means we won't have to come out with a statement anymore. This is practically the final nail in the coffin for him."
