Chapter 238

In the end, Lily didn’t use the expensive handkerchief to wipe her skirt. Instead, she moistened a tissue with water to clean the stain.

Observing her, Aurelia thought of a saying that a girl who loved a scoundrel would be unlucky for a lifetime.

She approached to wash her hand and said, “That’s a fake.”

Lily’s hand paused and she lifted her gaze to meet Aurelia’s eyes. She revealed a disdainful expression. “Is it you?”

“Huh? You know me?” Aurelia was surprised.

“You’re Seth’s ex–girlfriend. Your mother’s severe illness took away his savings. To avoid repaying the money, you smeared his name in his company and even reported him to the police.

“Although you’re in a difficult position because of your mother, have you considered the harm you’ve caused him? You can’t sit still now that Seth is proposing to me, right?” Lily questioned Aurelia, her tone accusing.

Aurelia paused for three seconds, then responded, “Seth told you all this?”

“No, he would never speak ill of his ex–girlfriend in front of me. It was his mother who told me. She’s currently heartbroken for Seth. Don’t you feel guilty? You can’t bear the thought of Seth proposing to me, right?” Lily said angrily.

Aurelia contemplated how to explain but felt that Lily had been brainwashed and wouldn’t listen to any of her explanations.

Hence, she asked, “Anything else? Just spill it all out. Maybe I’ll return the money to Seth once you are done.”

Indeed, Lily was a naive girl. As soon as she heard that she could help Seth recover the owed money, she immediately spilled everything.

Seth’s mother had said many bad things about Aurelia behind her back.

Allegations like having secret liaisons with clients for job promotion, cheating on Seth and even giving an old scarf to Seth’s mother as a gift to embarrass her.

After Lily finished speaking, she looked at Aurelia with a frown. “Why aren’t you upset?”

“I guess you’re not that foolish after all. Let me ask you a question. Do you know when Seth and I broke up?”

“Recently, you caused him to miss a promotion opportunity. Those videos on the internet were deliberately edited by someone you hired, all to make him suffer socially,” Lily said.

“Let me show you the original videos and the audio recordings, then.” Aurelia directly presented the original audio recordings, making it clear whether they were edited or not.

Hearing the threats from Seth and his mother, Lily’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Aurelia continued, “Seth and I broke up a long time ago. He just wanted to blame his inability to get promoted on me and created this breakup story.

“I’m just like you. I’m from a single–parent family, and a householder. Seth must have told you that he will earn money to support the family, and you’ll stay home to take care of the in–laws while enjoying life, right?

“Did he also take you to the night market, saying that’s where the real festive atmosphere is? Every time he gave you flowers, it was always a single one.

“He would berate your figure and appearance, then say it doesn’t matter how you look because he likes you the way you are.

“He promises to give you gifts but always ends up forgetting or losing them. Even if he immediately took you to buy something, he would find ways to make you choose the cheapest option.

“His mother is the most important player here. Did she suggest that you eat more spicy food when she first visited? Did she subtly hint at you to buy a gold bracelet for her?”

With each sentence, Lily’s complexion grew paler.

Finally, Aurelia revealed the records of her buying a branded scarf for Rosa back

then.

“This is the scarf Seth’s mother talked about. If I don’t value them, why would I buy something this expensive?”

Lily touched the ring on her finger and shook her head. “But he…”

Aurelia pointed at the ring. “That’s fake as well. The reflection of light isn’t right. Even the waiter could tell.

“I once did an event for a jewelry merchant. Real diamonds would reflect lights in the color of blue, purple and orange. It definitely shouldn’t reflect lights of all colors.”

Lily lowered her head and noticed that the diamond of her ring was indeed

reflecting lights of different colors under the washroom light.

“If you don’t believe me, I’m sure there are plenty of articles online that will teach you how to identify fake diamonds,” Aurelia said.

She had said her piece and the rest was left in Lily’s hands.

Aurelia wiped her hands dry and returned to her seat.

At the moment, Seth was on the phone talking to his mother.

“Mom, don’t worry. She’s just a fresh graduate. I just need to use a few tricks and she’ll fall for me.”
