Chapter 71: Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Should I Go “Why did you send a voice message?” Aurelia voiced the surprise she felt inside.

When Matthew heard Aurelia’s voice coming from his phone, he realized that he had accidentally sent at voice message and said. “I accidentally hit the voice message button, sorry.”

“I’m at the Leedon residence right now taking care of some matters” Aurelia felt that he had to be more careful.

Yesterday, their divorce discussion was left halfway. At that moment, with a voice message popping up, it could very well be an invitation for her to return to Starry Sea Mansion to continue the divorce talks.

There was a silence of two or three seconds on Matthew’s end. “Do you need me to come over?”

It wouldn’t be a problem to let the Leedon family know that he and Aurelia were married.

Aurelia was taken aback. He wants to come? Wait, no, he’s just being polite. “Thank you, but no need. I can handle it myself.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, then a faint hmm‘ was heard before the call was disconnected.

“This voice. It sounds...” Melanie was all ears. She wanted to know who was on the other end of the phone. When the first sentence came through the phone, that faintly cold voice... It was strikingly similar to Matthew’s. No, it couldn’t be. Aurelia didn’t even know Matthew. How could it possibly be Matthew? It has to be that person’s voice sounds similar to Matthew’s. However, listening to their conversation, even though there wasn’t much said, it seemed that the two of them were quite familiar with each other.

Taken aback, Gideon wondered, Was that Matthew?

He observed Aurelia.

He had always been indifferent, even at that point, planning to exploit his daughter if he could. He couldn’t imagine that she had any sort of connection with Matthew.

“Is it Mr. Zeller? Aurelia, are you still going to deny your relationship with Mr. Zeller?” Melanie asked, hiding the jealousy in her heart.

“It doesn’t seem to be Mr. Zeller,” Aaron and Spencer said in unison.

They had met Gordon before, and Gordon’s voice wasn’t this cold and thin.

The voice of the person who had just spoken to Aurelia seemed to pierce through the bone, leaving one’s heart trembling in fear.

Gideon stared at Aurelia and asked, “Who was it?”

“Auri, who’s your sugar daddy? Tell me and let me handle this. Daughters of the Leedon family cannot be someone’s mistress.

They should only be a wife, rightfully and honorably,” Luna asked anxiously.

Benjamin’s face was grave. Ifit wasn’t Mr. Zeller, then who could it be?

He had never considered what to do if the person wasn’t Gordon.

Chapter 73 Should I Go His original thought was to seek a favor from Gordon.

Finished “Birds of a feather flock together. There’s truth in that saying. Those with vile thoughts assume others are just like them. Instead of questioning me, you should reflect on how you’ve raised your precious daughter, Melanie. She seems particularly adept at playing the other woman, and her acting skills aren’t bad either. I suppose she learned from the best, which is you.” Aurelia bristled defensively, shielding herself firmly.

With her face flushed and ears reddening, Melanic exclaimed, “I’ve already said that the previous incident was a misunderstanding. Why won’t you believe me? How long are you going to accuse me wrongfully?”

“You’ve gone too far. The truth is right in front of you, yet you remain stubbornly blind to it.” Spencer immediately came to Melanie’s defense.

“Don’t you even trust my words anymore? You’ve misunderstood Mel. She’s obedient and sensible. She would never fall for Curtis. Your boyfriend is the one with lofty ambitions, always aiming for the top. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself.

It’s your poor judgment that led you to choose a fickle boyfriend. Luna almost instinctively defended Melanie.

Between Melanie and Aurelia, she had given up thinking. The one she prioritized was Melanie.

However, after speaking, a sudden doubt surfaced in her heart.

It seemed as though she had never considered what Aurelia might think.

Then, another voice emerged, asserting that Melanie was not at fault and that it was indeed Aurelia who was to blame.

Someone always had to pay for the mistakes.

Aurelia stared coldly at Luna, her gaze as tranquil yet chilling. It seemed as if she could see straight into the depths of the soul, piercing through to the inherent evil within Luna.

“Mom, let’s not discuss this matter today.” Benjamin felt the conversation was veering off course. There will be plenty of time in the future to allow Aurelia to feel a sense of belonging to the Lerdon family.

“Before, we had many misunderstandings. However, in the end, we are family, and any misunderstandings are not important.

What’s important is that when the family faces difficulties, we must overcome them. together. Now, the family needs you. If you can contribute to the family, we will all acknowledge you.” Benjamin loftily threw out this bait. Before, durelia was always trying to please us, but now she’s pretending not to care about us. Isn’t she just using all kinds of tactics to make us care about her? Well, it’s time to fulfill her wishes.

Gideon took a deep breath, softened his attitude, and disregarded the words Aurelia had just said. “After all, we are family. No matter what you’ve done wrong, we will forgive you. Your father knows that you resent us for not standing up for you recently.

That was because you were the first to post slanderous comments about Mel on your social media. Your father had already planned your future, intending to send you abroad for a few years. When you return after a few years, you can work at the family’s company.

Aurelia had never seen them hang their heads before, especially Gideon and Benjamin.

The two of them, truly like father like son, used to look at her with the same mocking gaze. At that moment, the way they lowered their heads toward her was no different from each other.

It seemed to carry a sense of condescension as if to say, “Look! We’ve given you an opportunity, and you still don’t cherish it.”

2/3 Chapter 73 Should I Go It was so amusing to her that she wanted to know their intentions.

Without any benefits or objectives, how could the two of them possibly back down?

Thus, she said, “Speak up. What do you want me to sacrifice for you?”

Gideon’s eyes lit up. “Let Benjamin tell you.”

Finished “I know you are acquainted with Mr. Zeller. You two must have a close relationship. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stood up for you. When a man stands up for a woman, it usually means he has feelings for her. Mr. Zeller must like you. If you two are dating, that would make things easier. You could call him and ask him to persuade Mr. Quigley to continue collaborating with our Leedon family. If you’re not in a relationship, agree to date him and find a way to have him persuade Mr. Quigley.” Benjamin’s expression softened considerably as he spoke to Aurelia, his tone much improved.

Aurelia tugged at the corner of her mouth. Their schemes were indeed well–crafted. “Are you advising me to date Mr. Zeller because you want to sell me out?”

“Don’t be so harsh. I’ve met Mr. Zeller before. He’s a capable and decent young man. Besides, being able to serve as Qiao’s personal assistant, his future prospects are certainly promising. We’re only thinking of your best interests,” Luna said, somewhat guiltily.

With his head lowered, Aaron seemed lost in thought, oblivious to his surroundings. Upon hearing his mother’s words, he glanced her way.

“You could even fall for Curtis. Isn’t Mr. Zeller much better than him?” Spencer was somewhat irritated by Aurelia’s lack of discernment.

-Indeed, Aurelia. Mr. Zeller seems like a decent man,” Melanie quickly chimed in.

Trading Aurelia for the future of the Leedon family was totally worth it.

If it were about sending Aurelia to climb into Matthew’s bed, Melanie would disagree out of jealousy. However, she would support Aurelia being with anyone else.

Aurelia glanced at them and slowly said, “It’s a pity that Mr. Zeller doesn’t like me.”

“He doesn’t like you? You’re beautiful. If you take the initiative, he will surely like you. If all else fails, I’ll find a way to get you into his bed,” Benjamin said outright.
