Chapter 1535Â
“I live for myself. No one has the right to control me, and I’m not living to please anyone else. That’s why I keep moving forward.”Â
Hearing that, Megan finally understood what Aurora meant.Â
Because she had her own path and purpose, she didn’t need to care about anyone else’s opinions.Â
“Aurora, now that you’ve said it like that, I think I get it,” Megan said, her eyes brightening. “So, we just walk our own path and don’t worry about what others think, right?”Â
“Exactly,” Aurora replied.Â
She began patiently teaching Megan how to handle things and deal with people.Â
“Take what just happened, for example. You stopped them from gossiping, but have you thought about what they might think afterward?Â
“Wouldn’t they assume we’re too afraid to be compared with Yvonne?”Â
Aurora paused for a moment, then said calmly, “You’re partly right. But the bigger issue is-they’ll think their gossip must be true, that we really can’t compare to Yvonne.Â
“And since you’re close to me, when you step forward to defend me, they’ll believe I share that insecurity. By trying to clarify, you’ve actually erased the space for them to think otherwise.”Â
“Then what should I do? Did I ruin your image in their eyes?” Megan asked anxiously, realizing she might have made things worse despite her good intentions.Â
But Aurora wasn’t worried at all.Â
“It’s fine. I’m only explaining so you’ll understand why I stopped you.”Â
Her tone was calm but firm. “You need to remember, there will always be people who try to bring you down. They criticize you because they don’t understand you, because they have no idea what you’re truly striving for.Â
“That’s why they try to drag you down to their level.Â
“They don’t want to see you progress. They want to see you struggle in place, to pull you into the same pit they’re stuck in.”Â
Hearing those words, Megan finally understood completely.Â
She sat in her seat, deep in thought, her eyes unfocused as if lost somewhere far away.Â
Seeing Megan like that, Aurora felt a pang of sympathy.Â
She sighed quietly to herself, hoping that after this incident, Megan would learn to be a little more careful and less impulsive.Â
The world outside was complicated, and once someone truly experienced it, they would realize it wasn’t easy to navigate.Â

Many people and situations were unpredictable-no one could ever fully grasp how dark another’s intentions might be.Â
That was exactly why one had to be mindful of their words and actions, to avoid creating trouble for themselves or their future.Â
After all, one’s actions might one day come back to strike hard.Â
It was important to leave no hidden risks behind.Â
Every step should be taken with foresight and a far-reaching vision.Â
After pondering for a while, Megan realized Aurora was right. She was an adult now, yet she still acted recklessly.Â
After spending so much time by Aurora’s side, she hadn’t learned nearly as much as she should have.Â
Her mindset was still too young, her perspective too simple, and at times, she really was immature.Â
“I’m sorry, Aurora. I acted without thinking just now.”Â
