Finished Human nature could be vile, but the people of the Leedon family were no different from savage beasts and predators.

Whenever there was a problem, they would never look for the cause within themselves.

Instead, they were constantly finding fault with others.

They were extremely self–centered.

The couple’s expressions momentarily stiffened.

your “Your words are hurtful, Auri,” Luna reprimanded, disappointment lacing her tone. “You weren’t like this. before. How did you change so drastically in such a short time? Who has been filling your head with such misconceptions about us? Your father and I have always cherished you, always hoped for improvement. We don’t want to see you stray further down the wrong path. And your elder brother and the others, they all mean well for you. Why don’t you appreciate their intentions? Instead, you misunderstand us, thinking we won’t rest until we achieve our goals?”

Gideon furrowed his brows. “Your mother was right. You’ve been a great disappointment lately. Today’s visit was merely to avoid the wagging tongues of others, who might think we, as your parents, have neglected you and allowed you to stray. If that were to happen, your mother and I would be blamed for sure.”

Aurelia glanced at the time. “You have three minutes left.”

“You don’t have any particular skills, so coming to work is just a way to pad your resume. Being a few minutes late isn’t a big deal! Don’t think you can avoid this by staying silent. We may not know who you’re romantically involved with now, but you can’t hide it forever. While things haven’t reached an irreversible point, it’s best if you come clean with us.”

As Luna was speaking, she glanced up at the Gardner Group Building. “Your entry into Gardner Group, it’s all thanks to the man you’re involved with, isn’t it? Who is he?” she asked.

Luna had a clear conversation with Gideon. Even if their company’s problems stemmed from its own business model, it could also be due to Quigley Group’s initial refusal to cooperate with them, or it might be because Aurelia targeted them. There was also a possibility that it had nothing to do with Aurelia. However, Aurelia had now found a powerful financial backer. Perhaps leveraging their connection with Aurelia could help their family’s company out of its predicament.

Regrettably, no matter how they searched, they couldn’t find anything.

They also didn’t dare to openly investigate this matter.

Gideon took on a fatherly demeanor. “Auri, I made some mistakes in the past and misunderstood you a lot. I can promise you, from now on, if you don’t want to donate blood to Mel, you won’t have to. On your birthday, I’ll gift you your favorite car. But right now, our family business is at stake. So, whatever resentment you have, can we put it aside for now? I will make it up to you later.”

Upon hearing that Aurelia could decide on whether or not to donate blood to Melanie, Luna’s mouth fell open. She wanted to protest, unable to bear the thought of Melanie suffering.

However, at that moment, she could only swallow her words.

Chapter 119 Turning Against Each Other Aurelia couldn’t possibly be given a choice in the matter of blood donation.

#Finished This morning, after Melanie returned from a friend’s house, her complexion looked terribly pale, drained of all color. Despite feeling unwell, she bravely endured it to join Luna and Gideon for breakfast. Melanie even advised her to take things lightly and not to quarrel with Aurelia.

Luna couldn’t bear to let Melanie suffer.

“There’s no financial backer,” Aurelia responded with a cold expression.

Just how unbearable do I appear in the eyes of Gideon and Luna? Do I need to rely on others to enter Gardner Group? Have they not checked out Gardner Group’s hiring policy? Don’t they have the brains to think things through?

“How could that be possible? Without anyone’s help, you managed to get into Old Mr. Gardner’s team? Auri, when did you become so adept at lying without batting an eye?” Luna frowned.

Having grown up in the countryside, what skills could Aurelia possibly possess to join Old Mr. Gardner’s team?

She’s a habitual liar and doesn’t have an idea of her own worth.

“All that doesn’t matter now,” Gideon said, his brow furrowed. “For now, I’ll believe you made it into Old Mr. Gardner’s team on your own merit. I only have one request from you, take us to meet your sugar d— no, your new boyfriend.”

Clearly, for Gideon, having to hold his temper while speaking with Aurelia was truly uncomfortable.

In his view, Aurelia was truly naive.

“Aurelia, do you need any help?”

When her colleagues at work saw Aurelia being cornered by a middle–aged man and woman with a clearly unfriendly demeanor, they were concerned about Aurelia.

Aurelia gave a small smile of gratitude. “Thank you, but I don’t need it at the moment.

Then, she addressed Gideon and Luna, “I don’t have a boyfriend. Your trip here was in vain. Don’t come looking for me in the future. I don’t wish to see you both.”

After she finished speaking, she walked past the two of them and headed straight into the entrance.

“Hold on! Auri, your father and I aren’t easily fooled. There’s no need to hide the truth from us!” Luna was nearly driven to her wit’s end.

No wonder the last time Aaron and his group came to find Aurelia, upon returning, both Benjamin and Spencer looked rather upset. Not to mention, Melanie was so upset that she fell ill that very day.

Aurelia really treated them as if they were fools. The lies she uttered were outrageously false.

“Auri, your actions have truly disappointed me.” Gideon was running out of patience.

Aurelia sneered, “Why should your disappointment concern me? Don’t follow me anymore, or I’ll call security.”

After saving that, she headed straight into the building.

第30%會 Chapter 119 Turning Against Each Other Luna wanted to hold onto Aurelia, but Aurelia walked away too fast for her to get a grip. Luna’s hand was awkwardly suspended mid–air as the embarrassment was unbearable. He could only watch helplessly as Aurelia entered Gardner Group Building.

Upon seeing the security guard stationed at the entrance, Luna’s face turned ashen.

She glanced to the side, noticing Gideon’s face was incredibly gloomy.

#Finished “She wasn’t raised by our side since she was young, so she doesn’t understand or care about us. What should we do now, Hubby? The more she avoids telling the truth, the more it indicates that the person she’s seeing is up to no good. Could it be...?”

Suddenly, something dawned on Luna. Her eyes grew wider and wider until they were filled with utter disbelief.

“Could it be... Hubby, Old Mr. Gardner’s team never accepts nepotism, and only those with real talent can get in. But Auri got in, which means the person who helped her must have connections with Old Mr. Gardner’s team. Could it be Old Mr. Gardner’s son? He only has two sons. The elder one is still abroad, and the younger one, Jeremy, has always been in Jacaster. Could it be him?”

Gideon’s eyes lit up. “Jeremy...”

“Exactly, Hubby. It must be him. He had just gotten engaged not long ago, and then he was secretly taking care of Auri. This is something he couldn’t let others know, so Aurelia never told us. All the things we couldn’t understand before now make sense.”

The more Luna thought about it, the more she was convinced it was Jeremy.

Although she didn’t think there was anything particularly extraordinary about Aurelia, she had to admit that her looks were indeed the type many men would find appealing.

“Okay, now that we’ve identified the person, let’s go find him. I’ll have a proper chat with Jeremy.” Gideon suddenly felt like he had really found a solution to the problem.

Luna nodded. “Ideally, he should break off his engagement and marry Auri. That way, he will be more dedicated in helping us.”

“Okay, I’ll get ready. Benjamin and I will go see Jeremy tomorrow,” Gideon immediately responded.

On their way home, Melanie called to inquire about the situation.

Luna did not keep secrets from Melanie.
