Chapter 158: Chapter 160

Chapter 160 You Will All Regret This Currently, she was merely observing Melanie, who was flitting around in front of her like a little chick.

“You’ll all regret this!” Melanie declared through gritted teeth.

The humiliation she suffered here, she would definitely get back at them in the future!

The Leedon family would surely overcome this difficult hurdle successfully.

Then, she’s have her parents show them a taste of their own medicine. Anyone who crossed her in Jacaster wouldn’t have it easy. If they wanted a peaceful life, they would have to come beg her.

“Ah, it seems I’ve misjudged you,” Phyllis said, a hint of disappointment and hurt in her voice. “I genuinely thought you were truly remorseful a few days ago.”

Melanie held her head high, radiating arrogance. “What do I have to regret? I’ve never done it’s you who should be filled with regret. It’s clear that I’m your anything wrong. On the contrary, kin, yet all you see is Aurelia.

And you dare to expect me to treat you like family? Are you doing the right thing? If you truly considered me family, you would have driven her away!”

“Why don’t you just leave the Leedon family then? You’ve taken over the daughter’s place, you’ve got some nerve! Trying to have the best of both worlds, do you even deserve it?” Herbert had encountered shameless people before, but never someone as audacious as her!

“I’m not like Aurelia,” Melanie spat out, her voice seething with resentment. “I was raised in the Leedon family. I am part of the Leedon family. Does Aurelia think she can take everything away? She must be dreaming! I have nothing more to say to you all. If you want to treat Aurelia like a treasure, then go ahead, continue to pamper her. And keep living in this slum, because I am.

nothing like you!” Melanie rebuked in anger.

Aurelia cast a glance at the haughty Melanie, pulled out her phone, and found a specific video.

She said to Herbert, “You should go back to your room.”

Herbert was momentarily stunned.

“The next thing I’m about to reveal isn’t really fit for a student like you,” Aurelia explained.

Herbert had always held a deep belief and respect in Aurelia. Rising to his feet, he returned to his room.

Then, Aurelia immediately played the video.

“Ah...

“It’s not enough... harder, harder!”

A few heart–racing, blush–inducing gasps echoed from Aurelia’s phone.

The cries of a woman, urging for more, unmistakably belonged to Melanie.

Upon hearing the audio from the video, Melanie was utterly stunned. “You... Aurelia, how did you get this video?”

She dashed toward Aurelia, attempting to snatch the phone from her hands.

Aurelia responded quickly, preventing her phone from being snatched away.

Phyllis and Xavier were both astounded by the video on her phone.

In their view, even if Melanie had completely abandoned her morals, even if she had no self- respect, it was impossible for her to have sunk to such depths.

Moreover, Melanie usually dressed in a style that subtly portrayed the image of a prominent young lady.

“How would you look in the eyes of Gideon and Luna if I were to share this video with them?” Aurelia turned off the video.

She hadn’t shown it to Melanie.

Melanie’s face turned ashen. “It wasn’t me. The person in that video isn’t me. Did you photoshopped it? Aurelia, you really went to great lengths just to harm me!”

“If I were you, I’d quickly admit my mistakes and scram,” Aurelia said in an eerily calm tone, words that should have been shouted in anger. “The only reason I haven’t posted the video online is out of respect for Mom. Otherwise, considering what you’ve done to me, I’d love nothing more than to crush you.”

Her calm tone was an indication of the calm before the storm.

“You!” Melanie panicked. “You can’t share the video. If you do, you’ll be breaking the law!”

“You’re not afraid of breaking the law with your crowd of followers, so what should I be afraid of?” Melanie’s words amused Aurelia, making her laugh.

Phyllis‘ eyes welled up with tears. Listening to the words that Aurelia had just spoken, she understood that Aurelia must have endured many hardships beyond their imagination.

Xavier’s face was ashen, his hand lifting once again to slap Melanie. “Get out!” he commanded.

Once again, Melanie covered her cheeks.

However, this time she didn’t have the luxury to make threats. Her gaze was a complex mix of anger as she stared at Aurelia.

“Tell me, who gave you that video? Weren’t you and Curtis already broken up and ignoring each other? Did he send you this video?”

That d’mn Curtis!

Having accepted her money, the video should have been deleted. Why was it then given to 9/4 Chapter 160 You Will All Aurelia merely responded with a smile, choosing not to speak.

This left Melanie somewhat exasperated. “Aurelia, speak up!” she demanded.

“If you don’t want others to know what you’ve done, then you shouldn’t have done it in the first place. Are you telling me you don’t even know what you’ve done?” Charlie could no longer hold his silence.

He rose to his feet and pushed Melanie toward the exit.

Melanie was staring intently at Aurelia. If Aurelia didn’t speak up, it surely had something to do with Curtis!

Charlie pushed Melanie out, swiftly shutting the door behind her.

Following that, the atmosphere at the once cheerful family feast became somewhat gloomy due to Melanie’s presence.

Throughout the meal, everyone remained mostly silent.

Today, they caught a glimpse of another side of Melanie, and it became clear to them that they had underestimated the extent of the harm done to Aurelia.

Especially when it came to Phyllis, the thought of her placing her trust in Melanie, believing that Melanie had realized her mistakes, but in the end....

“Xavier, didn’t you mention that you have an important announcement today?” Aurelia looked at Xavier, breaking the silence with her question.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Xavier looked at Aurelia, trying to keep his voice as normal as possible. “There is indeed something important. The next time I come home, I’ll bring my girlfriend with me.”

“Congrats, Aaron!” Aurelia exclaimed, brimming with joy. Of her two brothers, she was always most concerned about Xavier.

Since graduating from college and joining the workforce, Xavier had been tirelessly earning money to support their family, completely neglecting himself in the process.

“Girlfriend? Xavier, you’ve kept this a secret pretty well. When did you get a girlfriend?” Charlie was taken aback.

He had always thought that his brother was fully engrossed in his scientific research, with no time to even consider having a girlfriend. But to his surprise, his brother had quietly gotten himself a girlfriend! Despite being surrounded by women every day, he himself still didn’t have a girlfriend!

The atmosphere shifted, and Phyllis also reigned in her emotions, asking, “What does she do for a living?”

Xavier’s face flushed. “I met her by chance at work. She’s a presenter at the TV station.”

Chapter 160 You Will All Regret This Aurelia was momentarily taken aback.

“Presenter? That’s a good job. Treat her well, all right?” Phyllis happily advised Xavier.

Xavier nodded. “All right.”

Finished Upon seeing the situation, Charlie nudged Xavier’s arm. “Xavier, you’re really something! Being a presenter is a respectable job and it’s not that complicated.”

The family’s spirits were lifted once again after finding out that Xavier had a girlfriend.

They put the recent incident with Melanie behind them.

Aurelia also took the opportunity to mention that she had taken out a loan to purchase an apartment.

Upon hearing this news, the entire family was taken aback.

“I work in the restoration of antiques, which is a highly rewarding job. Plus, I own an online shop, providing a steady daily income. This apartment is the first one our family has owned. Once the renovations are done, we’ll move in!”

“Fantastic!” Herbert exclaimed, leaping up in joy.

At that moment, a message from Matthew popped up on Aurelia’s phone.
