Damien Valerius leaned back in his chair, drumming his long fingers on the desktop. "You should know what my mom's status in the Valerius family used to be."
Aurora Sterling nodded. She knew that Yvonne Vaughn used to be a servant for the Valerius family. In fact, before she'd even gotten together with Damien Valerius, she often heard people refer to him with the clearly derogatory term, "the servant's son."
Now that Damien Valerius had said this much, Aurora Sterling largely understood why he was so adamant about his mother leaving. She had witnessed the coldness and worldliness of the Valerius family. A woman with Yvonne Vaughn's gentle disposition would undoubtedly be hurt if she encountered them.
That was why Damien Valerius would rather act like a difficult child and demand that Yvonne Vaughn leave than risk her running into the Valerius family here.
