Chapter 81: Chapter 83

Chapter 83 The Girl Is Also Named Aurelia In reality, Angela had an even more distinguished demeanor.

Finished Melanie knew that her family background and education couldn’t compare to Angela’s, which made her feel slightly inferior.

Furthermore, having been beaten into a sorry state by Herbert, she didn’t dare to look at Angela.

It was too embarrassing for her.

Moreover, Angela was the person whom Matthew liked.

Thus, she truly envied and was jealous of Angela.

After giving Melanie a mere glance, Angela shifted her attention to Aurelia.

No one could discern the meaning beneath her smile.

She had someone investigate Aurelia, who grew up in the countryside and was the true heiress of the Leedon family. However, the latter was not favored by the Leedon family. She was currently working in Norman’s team, not as Matthew’s secretary Since Aurelia wasn’t Matthew’s secretary, Angela knew what sort of relationship the former had with Matthew.

The standards of Norman’s team were incredibly stringent. Many truly talented individuals couldn’t even gain entry. Yet, Aurelia, who had graduated from university less than two years ago and didn’t even have a relevant major, had somehow managed to join the team. Thus, she was certain that Matthew had pulled strings on Aurelia’s behalf.

“Ms. Shaw, we meet again,” Angela remarked.

With a gentle smile, Aurelia nodded, “Hello, Ms. Sanders.”

What kind of luck was this? How did I run into the person Matthew cares about? This mall isn’t that upscale, is it?

“Since we have run into each other, shall we have a coffee together?” Angela asked.

Aurelia said with a smile, “Maybe next time. I brought my younger brother out shopping today, and I have to start work in half an hour.”

“Last time we met, I didn’t get a chance to add you on WhatsApp. Let’s do that now, and when you’re free, I’ll invite you out.”

Angela had already taken out her phone.

Originally, Aurelia didn’t want to have too much contact with Angela. However, under these circumstances, it would be rude if she didn’t exchange contacts with the latter.

After doing so, Angela immediately left.

Only realizing what was going on after the fact, Melanie asked Aurelia, “When did you get to know Angela? How did you come to know her?”

Angela us not part of our circle. She belongs in Matthew’s circle. How could anyone from that circle speak to Aurelia so Chapter 83 The Girl Is Also Named Aurelia Aurelia gave Melanie a cold glance. “This is none of your business.”

Finished Herbert pointed at Melanie and shouted angrily, “If you dare yell at my sister again, I’d rather not take the college entrance exam than let you off without a trip to the hospital!”

He had personally witnessed Melanie bullying Aurelia.

With widened eyes, Melanie exclaimed, “Herbert, I am your real sister!”

“So why don’t you leave the Leedon family, huh? As long as you return home, I’ll acknowledge you as my sister from then on.

You can’t have it both ways, clinging to the Leedon family’s wealth and status while looking down on us. Do you think everyone else is a puppet on a string, obeying your commands only? Idiot.” Herbert could no longer hold back from disparaging her.

Melanie’s face turned red as she stomped her foot. “Do you think I won’t call your mother to complain about you right now?”

“Go ahead and do so. I’m waiting.” Herbert was completely unafraid.

Their entire family was intelligent, unlike the Leedon family.

From his childhood to adulthood, what he feared the least was being complained about by others.

“The Leedon family was deceived by you because you lived under the same roof. Once you’re away from them, who do you think you can still fool? My brother has always been good–tempered, a gentle soul since childhood, yet you managed to provoke him to the point of violence. You should really reflect on how despicable you are,” Aurelia mocked.

Herbert nodded in agreement. “I only lose my composure when I encounter shameless people.”

Melanie seldom found herself at a disadvantage during arguments. Usually, when people were around, she would feign vulnerability, and then someone would inevitably stand up for her.

o meer u The friend who had arranged her that day hadn’t arrived yet.

Her face turned pale with anger. “You just wait!”

She stormed off, her high heels clicking against the ground.

After she had gone a considerable distance, she picked up her phone and called Phyllis.

“Aunt Phyllis, I just ran into Aurelia and Herbert. Before I knew it, they attacked me, hurling insults and throwing punches. My clothes are now stained from the scuffle, and even my phone didn’t escape unscathed–its screen shattered from the fall. The places where they hit me still ache. They really went too far.

“Why did they hit you?” Phyllis’s voice came out from the phone, sounding very indifferent.

Melanie was taken aback. “I’m not entirely sure, but it might be because Aurelia and Herbert badmouthed me, and then Herbert hit me.”

“They wouldn’t have hit you without reason, you must have gone too far. Don’t call me for no reason in the future, Phyllis said coldly.

Melanie was taken aback. “You’re my biological mother. How could you not stand up for me?”

Finished “You don’t even call me mother. Even if I gave birth to you, there’s no reason for me to defend you unconditionally. First and foremost, you’ve never truly admitted your real family.” Phyllis ruthlessly exposed Melanie’s hypocrisy.

The call ended abruptly.

Melanie was so frustrated that she wanted to throw her phone away. “What makes you, a villager, qualified to be my mother? If you tried to please me, I might even call you my aunt willingly!”

I’m having such an unlucky day today!

“Ms. Leedon, right? Do you have some time to sit down and chat?”

Angela stopped the grumbling Melanie.

Melanie turned stiffly, looking at Angela in surprise. “Ms. Sanders, are you talking to me?”

Angela smiled elegantly, her disdain hidden in her eyes. “Yes, Ms. Leedon.”

“Sure!” Melanie was simply overjoyed.

Her acquaintance with Angela would surely astonish and evoke envy among her friends.

If Angela could leverage her connections to help the Leedon family overcome their difficulties, that would be even better.

Aurelia, accompanied by Herbert, visited the supermarket on the basement level to buy some of his favorite foods.

As it was almost time for work, she called a taxi for Herbert.

The siblings soon parted ways reluctantly.

Just as she was about to enter the building, Chad gave her a call.

“You haven’t come to see me for two days.

Aurelia apologized, “I’ve been too busy these past few days. I’ll come to see you as soon as I get off work today. Is there anything you’d like to cat? I can pick it up on my way.”

“Uncle Jeremy bought me a bunch of stuff, so I lack nothing, all I need is your presence.” Chad revealed a pitiful aura, similar to that of a child who lacked attention.

Aurelia chuckled lightly. “Alright, I’ll come over as soon as I get off work.”

During the time Chad was hospitalized, not many people came to visit him. It was mostly the nursing staff who took care of him.

I couldn’t deny that he truly was a pitiful little child.

In the conference room of Quigley Group, Jeremy and Matthew went to the CEO’s office after the contract. was signed.

Finished “I did not attend Timothy’s birthday. I heard from him that you brought over a girl named Aurelia? Why didn’t I see her today?”

Jeremy asked after sitting down.

Matthew took a sip of his coffee. “Do you also enjoy gossip?”

Jeremy also picked up his coffee. “I’m not trying to gossip, but there’s a rather coincidental matter. You know Chad, right? My nephew, he’s recently taken a liking to a girl. This girl, through her own abilities, joined my father’s team. My father has taken a liking to her as a potential granddaughter–in–law. Interestingly, she shares the same name as the girl you brought the other day.

She’s also called Aurelia.”
