Chapter 156 He Would Never Agree
Thankfully, Curtis‘ infidelity was discovered. If it hadn’t been uncovered, Aurelia would still be with Curtis. The consequences of that scenario was truly unimaginable.
“I really want to kick him to death!” Chad’s anger surged.
Norman glanced at the visibly upset Chad, letting out a sigh in his heart. He is still a child, unaware of how cruel and cunning people in this world could be.
Some people were inherently malicious. To them, everyone was a pawn to be used, and they wouldn’t hesitate to drain every ounce of benefit they could find.
That Curtis from earlier saw the inherent kindness in Aurelia and wanted to exploit it further. Perhaps he had a sudden change of heart and recognized Aurelia’s true worth. Regardless of his reasons, his actions were extremely selfish and unscrupulous.
“It’s best to steer clear of such people in the future,” Norman advised Aurelia and meaningful look.

After all, he had watched Matthew grow up. Despite his many experiences, he was someone one could rely on and trust. He was certainly not comparable to Curtis.
Aurelia’s eyes welled
welled up slightly, aware that Norman had discerned the kind of person Curtis was.
Before her reincarnation, Xavier and the others had indeed mentioned that Curtis didn’t seem like a person who could be trusted entirely.
She had been deceived, her mind clouded.
Looking back now, it was clear that all the people around had taken everything in.
“Thank you, Old Mr. Gardner, I already know what kind of person he is, and I’m already married. These people no longer have any impact on me,” Aurelia said with a smile.
Norman chuckled and nodded in agreement.
Only when Chad heard Aurelia utter the words “I’m married,” did his expression become somewhat unnatural
He, who usually had plenty to say, suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
The three of them went their separate ways at the parking lot.
When Aurelia drove off, she saw Curtis, still in a standoff with the security guards. His familiar face was contorted with frustrated anger..
Judging by his appearance, it didn’t seem like he had led a tragic life.
After the surgery for his mother, Gina, he probably didn’t have much money left.

Yet, Curtis didn’t seem to be worried about money at all, as if he had come into some wealth again. Suddenly, something occurred to her…
The video she had once seen.
Could it be that Curtis used that video to obtain illicit gains?
Those two were at each other’s throats, possibly to the point where they wouldn’t stop until they
had torn each other apart, leaving the other in a pitiful state.
Aurelia’s gaze fell upon the traffic light ahead, her eyes growing increasingly frosty.
Meanwhile, at Quigley Group.
After signing the final document, Matthew called in his assistant, Gordon.
“What’s going on with the Leedon family?”
“The Leedons must be on the brink of bankruptcy by now, I suppose. I haven’t been keeping up lately, I’ll go inquire about it now,”
Gordon was somewhat taken aback. Why had the boss brought up the Leedon family on his own.
accord?
For the past couple of days, it was evident that Matthew was in high spirits, a radiant smile. plastered on his face. This was a stark contrast to the past, when it was nearly impossible to gauge his mood just by looking at him.
Reflecting on the possibility that all these might have been related to Aurelia, he truly felt the urge to give her a thumbs

“Don’t give the Leedon family any chance to catch their breath,” Matthew said in a deep voice.
“All right, I’ll take care of this right away.” Gordon felt a shiver run through him. His boss was known for his ruthless tactics. If the Leedon family wasn’t given a chance to breathe, it wouldn’t be long before they were drowning in debt, possibly even losing their home.
The entire Leedon family must have been blind!
If they truly cared for Aurelia, they would have already be very well off by now. After Gordon had left, Matthew took out his phone and scrolled through WhatsApp. There were only messages from others, not a single one from Aurelia was to be found.
This woman could sweetly call him “hubby” in bed, but once she stepped out of it, she turned
cold and indifferent.
Matthew pursed his lips, rising to stand by the window. He looked down at the bustling city of Jacaster, observing the constant stream of traffic on the streets, An inexplicable wave of irritation welled up within him.

He pulled out a cigarette.
In the midst of swirling smoke, a message popped up.
Holding a cigarette between his fingers, he opened WhatsApp.
It was Aurelia.
Aurelia: Grandma says she will be delivering dinner over from the Quigley residence tonight. Will you be coming back to eat?
Matthew didn’t notice the slight upward curve of his thin lips as he responded with just two
words.
On Friday, Aurelia finished Joseph’s painting.
When Joseph saw the ancient painting, restored to its original state and handed over to him, his eyes welled up
with tears.
“Your repair skills are incredible! You manage to fix everything in no time at all.”
Norman, standing at the side, was also filled with astonishment. He knew better than anyone how damaged the painting had been initially, and thus, he understood the depth of Aurelia’s skill. It was no surprise that she was a student taught by Hannah. He couldn’t help but think that one day, she might even surpass him. NôvelDrama.Org content.
No. Her skill level had already surpassed his as of now.
When he saw the painting, he felt somewhat intimidated, having no confidence at all that he could restore it properly.
“Aurelia’s skills are indeed superb. It would be difficult to find anyone like her in Jacaster,” praised. Norman.
Joseph nodded repeatedly. “Absolutely, it’s indeed hard to find anyone with her skill level Oh, Aurelia, about the incident last time, I’ve investigated it thoroughly. Someone intentionally had my youngest son purchase that gown, clearly intending to harm Old Mrs. Delaney. We’ve taken. care of the matter now, and Old Mrs. Delaney’s health is also improving.”
Upon hearing that everything was taken care of, Aurelia responded with a smile. “That’s great, Old Mrs. Delaney will be back to her healthy self soon.”
For reasons she couldn’t quite pinpoint, she was filled with a sense of unease. Whenever she thought of Joseph’s household, her mind would invariably drift to his youngest son, Heath.
Was it truly just a case of deception?
Her confusion merely took a brief stroll in her heart before she chuckled inwardly. Since Joseph had said that everything had been thoroughly investigated, then it must certainly have been so, After Joseph confirmed there were no issues with the painting, he transferred the remaining

Seeing that her bank balance had increased again, she felt particularly happy.
Finished
She was planning to go home for the weekend the next day. It worked out perfectly that she could stop by to buy some clothes for Phyllis after work.
Phyllis was actually rather beautiful. However, she had always been taking care of the children in the past, seldom spending money on herself. The clothes she wore were several years old, and she rarely used skincare products. Despite this, Phyllis‘ skin was naturally smooth. Even with just the application of a simple moisturizer, her skin still remained fair and clear.
There were hardly any wrinkles on her face.
Her skin was even more radiant than that of Luna, who meticulously cared for her complexion daily.
After work, Aurelia headed over to the shopping center across the street. She carefully selected two sets of skincare and cosmetics from the various options. Keeping Phyllis‘ physique in mind, she
also picked out clothes and shoes.
Once everything was paired up, she bought a few more items, filling the trunk to the brim.
The next day, as she was about to step out, she caught Matthew casting a look her way.
Upon noticing his reaction, she asked with a beaming smile, “Would you like to meet my family? My mom is quite the cook. Her dishes are several times tastier than mine.”
Even though she asked, she was sure that Matthew wouldn’t go.
They hadn’t reached that point yet.
One could say that the timing wasn’t right yet.
