Chapter 111

In the hospital, Aurelia sat dazed outside the operating room.

Suddenly, a gentle voice reached her.

“Aurelia.elia’s

“Mom…” Aurelia’s voice hoarsely called out as she felt like a beam of light had shone upon her.

Linda held her tight and scolded her, but Aurelia felt a sense of relief.

It turned out that there were still people who cared about her.

“Aurelia, what is this? You are too sensible sometimes. We are family. Why didn’t you tell me your mom is having surgery?”

“I…” Aurelia choked on her words.

“Alright, don’t say anything. Leslie said you should hurry to his company now.” Linda pulled Aurelia up to leave.

“Mr. Synder?” Aurelia blinked dazedly.

“Yes, it’s Leslie who asked me to come. He knows he’s not good with words, so he sent me to comfort you. Hurry up! You’re a smart young lady, so you won’t let the bad guys succeed. Don’t worry, Leslie will help you.”

Hearing this, Aurelia felt warmth in her heart and Leslie’s face flashed before her eyes.

Still, it was all too late.

“Mom, it’s too late. Mr. Zeller and Kimberly have already gone to One Technology early in the morning. It’s all too late now.”

“Aurelia, it’s fine. With Leslie there, those villains won’t succeed,” Linda reassured.

“No, Mom. Mr. Synder is just an employee. Intervening in upper-level decisions could cost him his job!” Aurelia objected.

“Rest assured, Leslie has his ways. Besides, are you willing to let someone steal your hard work? Leslie is preventing the company from cooperating with hypocritical thieves. That’s a significant achievement. If you don’t go, his efforts will be in vain.”

Linda winked at Aurelia.

Aurelia wavered, but sat back down when she saw the light above the operation room.

“My mom is still in operation.”

“Aurelia, don’t worry. I’m right here. I will inform you right away if something happens,”

Linda said.

“Yeah, Ms. Simmons. I’m here, too. Go to work. You worked so hard to have your work taken by someone else,” the caretaker said.

Aurelia glanced at them, a feeling of warmth washed over her.

Though there were plenty of awful people around, there were an equal amount of kind people.

She stood and adjusted her hair and dress.

“I’ll leave it to you two, then. I’m going to leave first.”

“Quick, go,” Linda and the caretaker said in unison.

Aurelia took one last glance at the operation room.

Her parents had always told her that she would face discrimination because she was adopted, so she couldn’t give up so easily.

She came close to giving up, but thankfully….

She ran into the elevator and texted Leslie while calming herself. “Thank you, Mr. Synder.”

“No worries,” he replied.

It was a simple message, and she could already picture the expressionless look on his face.

Still, it made her feel safe.

She caught a taxi and rushed to One Technology.

Along the way, she quietly revised all the information on her proposal. In her heart, she kept reminding herself she needed to deal with this calmly.

This was a collaboration between One Technology and Young Advertising and now also an issue between her and Zachary.

Once she starts a fight, she would be at a disadvantage.

After all, only someone who was guilty would cause a scene and Zachary knew this better than she did.

When she arrived at One Technology, she strode into the building.

Just as she was about to enter the elevator, she heard Kimberly’s sharp voice.
