Chapter 350

Aurelia felt relieved that the truth of the matter was coming to light.

Suddenly, the police thought of something else and stopped to look at Aurelia. “By the way, Ms. Simmons, you mentioned that you wanted to accuse more than one person of defaming you, right?”

“Yeah. I’ve gathered all the evidence. I will submit everything right away,” Aurelia said. seriously.

“Alright. I will need you to come over a few more times in the next two days. We will reach out to everyone involved one by one,” the officer informed her.

“Thank you,” she said.

As everything was settled, Aurelia felt her heart settling down as well.

Night fell as they stepped out of the hotel. Worried that the same incident from the train station would happen again, Aurelia suggested that they take the taxi to where Leslie’s car was parked.

Leslie agreed and they hailed a taxi.

As they got in, Aurelia said in bafflement, “Despite all that we’ve done, the hotel didn’t even try to stop us. It’s so strange.”

Leslie leaned against the window with his hand on his forehead.

Of course, the hotel didn’t interfere. He had everything arranged.

“The hotel doesn’t want trouble, so they will definitely cooperate,” he lied.

“That’s true.” Aurelia chose to believe him once again.

Just as she was about to ask something else, her phone rang. It was a call from Eva.

She showed Leslie her phone screen and hung up. “I know that whoever loses patience first will lose. You taught me that, Mr. Synder.”

“That’s right.” He nodded with approval.

“You won’t get to say that I never learn now,” she mumbled.

Leslie fell into silence, wondering if Aurelia thought he couldn’t hear her.

Leslie’s gaze fell on Aurelia’s face. Against the backdrop of the neon lights outside the window, she had a look of indescribable beauty.

A few seconds later, Leslie blinked and snapped out of his daze. He had started to pay too much attention to Aurelia without even realizing it.

Just then, Aurelia’s phone rang again. It was Eva calling once more.

This time, Aurelia didn’t let the phone ring for even three seconds before hanging up.

Sure enough, this provoked Eva into posting on her Facebook with Aurelia tagged.

“Aurelia, I hope you found yourself a very good lawyer. We’ll meet on Friday, rain or shine.” Eva wrote.

She wanted to meet on Friday?

Aurelia puzzledly showed Leslie the Facebook post. “They’ve asked to meet me on Friday. They’ve already pinned all the blame on me, so why would they still want to see me? Are they trying to force me to pay?”

Leslie explained, “It is just a form of coercion, but not to make you pay. They want you to confess. Right now, you’re refusing to respond to the whole matter and actively cooperating with the police investigation.

“Eva is worried that your lack of fear might lead to unexpected consequences. If you refuse to confess, they can’t explain themselves to the owner of the jewelry.

“Borrowing jewelry is a common practice in the fashion industry, but others aren’t fools and wouldn’t lend it out casually. Eva probably wants to take advantage ignorance of the rules, force you to confess, and thus completely exclude

from taking any responsibility.”

“How is it that you know everything?” Aurelia asked in surprise.

“I’ve heard the boss mention it,” he replied casually.

“Your boss is indeed very knowledgeable. If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known all this. Thanks,” Aurelia said innocently with a smile.

Leslie nodded somewhat casually, but he felt conflicted on the inside.

He suddenly realized that lying was becoming easier and easier for him, even though he used to dislike lying.

Aurelia didn’t notice the change in Leslie’s expression. She lowered her head and replied

to Eva’s post.

“Alright, I’ll be there. Rain or shine,” she said.

Since she couldn’t escape, she might as well stir up trouble.

Sure enough, Aurelia’s provocative response caused a stir.

Eva rallied everyone she could to share her post, then waited for the trial on Friday.
