Chapter 271

The cause of the suffocating atmosphere? Millie.

She had been fired by the company and came by to gather her things.

Everyone avoided her, while she ignored them.

She continued to make noises on purpose as she packed and took out the makeup products in her

drawer.

“I haven’t used this. Why don’t you take it?” Mille said with feigned generosity.

Her colleague knew that she got all her money from a loan and shook their head, worried that they would get dragged into the mess as well.

“No, it’s fine. I don’t wear makeup.”

“What’s that on your face, then? Drop the act. Take it!” It’s not like you’ve ever used anything nice!” Millie said arrogantly, as if she wasn’t the one packing her things after getting fired.

This angered her colleague and they pushed all the makeup products on her table into the trash bin.

“Oops, my bad. It’s fine, though. I don’t have a habit of going through the trash,” she said impatiently.

Millie’s lips twitched.

It seemed like everyone knew she hid in a trash can to get away from her creditors.

Taking a deep breath, she turned to grab the box on her table, before heading for the door.

Halfway there, she stopped and turned around to face everyone.

Revealing a radiant smile, she said, “Oh, I forgot to mention that it’s been a while since I wanted to quit. Tomorrow, I’ll be leaving the country with Jackson. We plan to settle abroad. Goodbye.”

With that, she left grinning from ear to ear, expecting everyone to envy het.

Little did she know, everyone smirked and chuckled in disgust as soon as she turned around.

Aurelia shook her head.

Not interested in Millie, she sat down.

She was a bit curious and wondered if she could really leave the country with Jackson in her current

situation.

Aurelia carried her curiosity into the next morning, which happened to be a weekend.

She indulged in a rare lazy morning.

Though married, and the cohabitation agreement explicitly stated that she would take care of the

household, Leslie didn’t require her to be a traditional housewife.

When they were busy with work, he would suggest takeout and even order food in advance.

On weekends, he insisted that Aurelia didn’t need to wake up early or cook, claiming that he could take care of himself.

After all, for anyone who worked a full–time job, the weekend was reserved for doing nothing at all.

Aurelia turned over in bed when her phone vibrated several times.

Reaching for her phone, she opened the group chat with half–closed eyes.

“Quick, check this out!”

Intrigued, Aurelia opened the shared video in the group and sat up abruptly as she watched it.

Rubbing her eyes a few times, she finally believed that the woman causing a scene at the airport in the video was none other than Millie.

The person filming explained with a smile as they walked, “The world is full of wonders. Broke and without a ticket, this woman charged in. She claimed that she was looking for her boyfriend and they were leaving for England together.

“Someone asked her about it just now and apparently, her boyfriend’s flight to England is today. She thought she could go too and even dragged her suitcase over.”

“Initially, the airport staff thought it was a mistake when they scanned her ID, but then they found out she is currently wanted by the police. The police have been looking for her for quite some time.”

The video was already trending on short video platforms.

“Another lovesick woman. How pitiful.”

“She is wanted by the police. She shouldn’t be pitied.”
