Chapter 358
Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth
Chapter 358
Despite Kimberlyâs claims of her wealthy husband treating her well, Jason only gave her a lowâquality diamond ring. Even their wedding wasnât the luxurious outdoor wedding she had always dreamed of.
It was obvious that Kimberly was just a novelty for Jason. Who knew how long his interest would last?
With her facade shattered, Kimberlyâs features twisted into a hideous grimace as she raised her hand to strike Aurelia.
Aurelia grabbed hold of her wrist and forcefully pushed her away.
Kimberly, wearing fourâinch high heels, had no chance of fighting back. She lost her balance and crashed into a table.
âAurelia Simmons!â she shouted.
âKimberly, I expect an apology from you the next time we see each other,â Aurelia said.
âIn your dreams! What right do you and your husband have to do this to me? If it werenât two, would I have turned out like this? You truly got what you deserve!â Kimberly- said spitefully.

Aurelia pursed her lips. She didnât expect Kimberly to harbor so much resentment toward her and Leslie.
However, at that moment, nothing mattered. After all, everything would be settled the following day.
She glanced at Kimberly and said, âMy husband and I have never done anything to you. We didnât pressure you into misconduct, nor did we compel you to marry a wealthy man
as a kept woman.
âAnd we certainly didnât push you into plagiarism. Do you really think the world revolves. around you? Youâre the one who shot yourself in the foot!â
Kimberly gnashed her teeth as she glared angrily at Aurelia.
âBye.â After saying that, Aurelia immediately turned around and walked toward the door.
âAurelia! Youâre done for! You and your husband will never be able to repay the 50 million dollars! Thereâs no doubt heâll leave you as soon as he has the chance!â Kimberly
continued shouting.
Aurella opened her mouth to speak, âYouâre quiteââ
After Aurella cast a look at her, she deliberately left her sentence unfinished and went straight into the elevator.
Kimberly was someone unfazed by upfront ridicule, but she was most apprehensive
about othersâ private opinions of her. Therefore, she always wanted to show her flawless side to the public.
So the more Aurella left her sentences unfinished, the more annoyed she became.
While the elevator was descending, Aurelia could still hear Kimberlyâs angry outbursts.
âAurella! Stop right there and explain yourself!â she screeched.
Aurelia sneered, as if she would stop for someone like her.
Kimberly would probably be restless for the rest of the night because of what happened.
Aurelia walked out of the company in a very good mood, only to be met with a couple of honks from a car across the street.
She glanced over and saw that it was Leslieâs car. She walked over and then knocked on the car window.
âMr. Synder, why are you here?â she asked.
Leslie began, âOn my-
âOn your way? Iâm quite familiar with that phrase,â Aurelia said, cutting him off.
âIâll be on my way then,â Leslie said, as he awkwardly started the car.
âWait a moment! Would you mind giving me a ride if youâre going that way? I wore high heels today to appear more confident, but theyâre a bit too high, and âmy feet are killing me,â Aurelia said.
After all, it was her last day, and she wasnât going to let anyone look down on her.
To make Leslie believe her, Aurelia held onto the car door and bent down. She lifted her skirt slightly and raised her foot.
Due to the pencil skirt she wore, whenever she raised her foot, the hem of her skirt would ride up.
Aurelia had always worn looseâfitting suits before, so her physique had been severely underrated. In truth, her physique was shapely and alluring. It was the type that could easily capture oneâs attention.
At that moment, a man happened to be passing by. After he caught sight of the scene before him, he couldnât help but stare at Aurelia.
Aurelia remained oblivious, while Leslieâs expression turned grim.
âGet in!â he barked.
âAlright,â she said.
As soon as she heard Leslieâs deep, cold voice, Aurelia immediately picked up her belongings and got into the car. It was then she noticed three men behind her had already taken out their phones.
She was immediately reminded of the four men at the train station. She was so scared that she immediately checked to see if there was anything wrong with her clothes.
Leslie spoke gravely, âItâs not your fault if youâre being secretly photographed. You shouldnât blame yourself first. It is clearly a problem with their manners and upbringing.
Aurelia nodded and said, âGot it.â
As the car exited the parking lot, Aurelia watched the buildings receding behind her, feeling somewhat complicated. When she first came here, she had made a firm decision to establish herself in this place.
She didnât expect things to turn out like this.
After coming to her senses, Aurelia looked ahead and pointed to the left.
âTurn left ahead,â she instructed.
âWhere are we headed?â Leslie asked as he realized this wasnât the way back home.
