Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1870
Cordelia announced confidently, "Sylvia, let's plan a marriage for Aldor and Aurora two weeks later. With Aldor as my official
grandson-in-law, there’ll be no gossip about him being around."
Sylvia was a bit taken aback by how fast things were moving.
Aldor and Aurora, meanwhile, were completely bewildered by this turn of events.
Aurora, in particular, was regretting not heeding Aldor's earlier advice.
Despite her reservations, Cordelia was evidently thrilled. Aurora, not wanting to admit she was just reacting to
Aldor's earlier trick, hesitantly said, "Grandma, there's no need to rush things. I'm still quite young."
"You might be, but Aldor isn't. Besides, an engagement will put an end to any idle talk," Cordelia insisted firmly, mindful of the
societal implications of their class differences.
Aurora was dumbfounded, wishing she could rewind time and avoid this situation.
She looked desperately at Aldor, silently urging him to object.
Aldor met her gaze and spoke up, "Mrs. Kane Sr., perhaps we should reconsider. Aurora has feelings for someone else.
Aurora internally groaned, 'He's getting back at me for teasing him!'
Cordelia, her brow furrowed in concern, turned to Aurora," Aren't you over Marshall yet? We've discussed this, haven't we?"
Aurora, caught off guard by Cordelia's seriousness, quickly clarified, "No, I've moved on. Marshall is like family to me now."
"But then why would Aldor suggest otherwise?" Cordelia pressed.
He's doing this to spite me!' Aurora realized, but instead of voicing this, she blushed and mumbled, "He's just... jealous."
Aldor's lips twitched when he heard that.
Cordelia chuckled, "Ah, young love." She then sought Sylvia's opinion.

Sylvia, seeing the unfolding events, knew she couldn't really object, despite her concerns about the social implications for
Aurora.
However, Sylvia decided to let it go after seeing how insistent Cordelia was. Since both parties agreed, she did not see the need
to interfere.
So, she suggested, "Let's do it soon. I'll need to inform my family and friends."
Cordelia smiled and said, "Sure."
Thus, the engagement was decided, though it was clear that
Aldor and Aurora were far from thrilled.
Back in the living room, Aurora confronted Aldor, "What were you thinking? Why did you say that?"
Aldor replied calmly, "Would Mrs. Kane Sr. have misunderstood if you hadn't claimed I was jealous?"
Aurora, frustrated, shot back, "Why should I be the only one to refuse? You don't want this either!"
Aldor explained, "I can't risk upsetting Mrs. Kane Sr. If she fires me for refusing to marry you, it will complicate my life."
"So you put me in a tough spot all for some money?" Aurora fumed.
Aldor corrected nonchalantly, "My salary is ten times yours." Just to rub it in, he emphasized, "Ten times."
Aurora was furious upon hearing that. Suddenly, someone threw a pillow at them.
It was Keegan. "What are you two arguing about? Why don't you just fight it out?"
