Aurora wanted to keep asking questions, but for a moment, she didn’t know how to phrase them.
She didn’t dare to ask outright if Aurora and Angie actually existed in real life because she felt guilty.
After Aurora and Angie’s plot appeared, the comment section was suddenly flooded with remarks about the two of them. Most of the comments were negative, with the underlying tone suggesting that what they had done would inevitably come to light.
Reading these comments, Aurora panicked. It felt as if everyone suddenly knew about their deeds.
Later, Aurora joined the ranks of active readers, checking every update as soon as it was released.
The latest chapters increasingly revolved around her and Angie, describing more harmful details, and even including a burial scene. The dialogue in that scene was eerily identical to reality.
Aurora and Angie came to a conclusion: the author was most likely Rosalie.
Rosalie had to be the one writing this novel! By coincidence, Angie had been a long-time fan of her work.
She must have discovered that one of her readers was Angie and then incorporated what they had done into the story.
One afternoon, Aurora and Angie arranged to meet Rosalie.
Rosalie arrived alone without Steve. They met at a cafe, as per her request. The public setting ensured that Aurora and Angie couldn’t pull any tricks. Aurora and Angie arrived early, while Rosalie was the last to arrive.
In front of Rosalie was a cup of coffee and some desserts, which Aurora had ordered. Rosalie naturally didn’t touch them and pushed them aside. Why did you want to see me? Are you here to admit what you’ve done?
Right off the bat, Rosalie got straight to the point, showing no politeness.
Aurora’s expression stiffened. What are you talking about? We just wanted to meet with you because of the previous incident. We were afraid you might still have misunderstandings and wanted to clarify things.
That’s right, Angie added quickly. After we went back, Aurora scolded me about what I said to you at the graveyard. I felt really bad about it and guilty ever since. So, I wanted to apologize to you in person
Of course, the real reason for meeting Rosalie was something they couldn’t admit directly.
Rosalie’s gaze fell on Angie. Her forced smile was anything but apologetic. It was clear they had read the novel and were feeling guilty.
If an apology could solve everything, what would we need the police for? Do you think an apology is enough for what you two did? Rosalie’s words carried a hidden meaning.
Aurora stiffened further. Do you still suspect that we were behind it? It really wasn’t us.
Rosalie stared at them in silence. After a few seconds, she spoke.
Whether it was you or not, we’ll find out soon enough. She smiled and added, As they say, ‘What’s done in the dark will eventually come to light. With a loud bang, Angie slammed her hand on the table.
Rosalie, what nonsense are you spouting? You’re slandering us, putting us in your book-don’t you have any shame? I thought the
content was getting stranger anmet
stranger, but now it makes sense. You’re the author! I guessed it right! You’re just an immoral and loose woman! Only someone like you could write such a novel!
Seeing Angie’s outburst, Rosalie knew she had them right where she wanted. She said calmly, Are you okay? Do you even know what you’re saying?
Aurora tugged at Angie’s sleeve. Calm down.
How can I calm down? She’s slandering us and ruining our reputation! Angie pulled out her phone and opened the novel.
Rosalie, you’re the author of the
book! You’re mad you didn’t find any evidence, so you wrote us into the story!
