Chapter 1534 

Megan’s words made everyone feel ashamed. 

In an instant, the whole bus fell silent, no one daring to speak again. 

The atmosphere turned awkward, and seeing that they’d quieted down, Megan went back to Aurora’s side. 

Aurora glanced at her curiously. “What happened? What did they say that made you so angry?” 

“They were gossiping behind your back, comparing you to Yvonne.” 

At that, Megan’s anger flared again. 

She couldn’t believe people would talk about such things so openly. 

They were all women-why did they have to compare? Couldn’t each shine in her own way? 

Both had their own strengths, and constant comparison only dimmed what made them unique. 

Aurora looked at Megan’s furious expression, not sure whether to laugh or comfort her. 

But after thinking about why she was here, she realized there was no point in getting upset over something so trivial. 

Such things were beyond anyone’s control, and she couldn’t stop people from talking. 

“Megan, there’s no need to be angry over them. We just need to focus on ourselves. We can’t control what people say.” 

Aurora remained calm and composed. 

“They can say whatever they want-it’s their mouths, not ours. But what we can control is how we act.” 

She’d always been clear about her goals. She knew there was no way to silence gossip, but actions spoke louder 

than words. 

Arguing with them would be pointless. It was better to focus on improving herself, proving her worth through 

results. 

“Are you really fine with being talked about like that?” 

Sometimes Megan just couldn’t understand why Aurora’s temper was always so mild. 

Sometimes, even when Aurora could have easily explained herself, she simply chose not to, almost as if she didn’t want to lower herself to the same level as ordinary people. 

Megan felt that Aurora could have clarified things; there was no need for her to make herself look like she was standing alone against everyone. 

She couldn’t help thinking that living this way must be exhausting for Aurora. 

She already had status and wealth, yet she still chose to stay grounded, working from the bottom up. 

If that was the case, what was the point of everything she’d achieved? 

1/2 

Wouldn’t it be easier to live like Tessa-doing whatever she wanted, with no one daring to stop her? Grace would always be on her side anyway. 

Sometimes Megan wondered if Aurora’s way of living was just too tiring. 

She thought so and decided to tell Aurora directly. 

But Aurora only smiled lightly. “It’s not that I’m tired, it’s that I know what I truly want. 

“If a few careless words from others can change your goals or direction, then what’s the difference between living tired or not? You’d be living for others instead of yourself. 

“If that’s the case, then you have no right to call yourself a successful person.” 

Aurora’s words made Megan fall silent, lost in thought. 

Aurora continued, “I don’t argue with them because I know exactly what I’m working toward. If I let their opinions distract me and delay my progress, then I might as well not have joined this show at all.”
