Chapter 385

“I just feel like others only stepped up against Eva because they saw me doing it. But if I messed up halfway through, wouldn’t they feel abandoned?” Aurelia explained her perspective.

However, Leslie held onto the belief that human nature was inherently bad. So, he said, ” I reckon you’re not fully aware of the situation. Did you know that three out of ten of those folks have already inked deals with companies while the heat’s still on?”

Upon hearing this, Aurelia stood frozen in place with a complicated expression on her

face.

But at the next instant, she smiled and said, “Well, wouldn’t there still be seven people left? If even one of them can seek justice for themselves while the spotlight’s on, then

it’s worth it.

“People have their good and bad sides, and being cautious is necessary. But you can’t judge everyone the same way.”

Upon hearing this, Leslie remained silent, and he felt an indescribable emotion as he gazed at Aurelia’s smile.

After returning home, they had a quick dinner.

After that, Leslie headed to his study to handle some overseas work.

Meanwhile, Aurelia sat at the dining table with her laptop. She was researching the foreign language institution that Maria had recommended.

Soon, the institution’s teacher contacted her on Whatsapp and sent her a bunch of materials. Then, Aurelia clicked on a random file and saw that the enrollment fee was over 20 thousand dollars.

But the most important question was, what language should she even learn?

It’d been more than four years since Aurelia left school, and her mind was all over the place now.

In the past, she solely focused on working hard and making money. But now, the idea of studying again felt unreal.

Not to mention, she didn’t have much cash on hand, and neither did she have a job. Yet now, she had to spend tens of thousands of dollars to learn a language that she didn’t

understand.

What’s more, if she couldn’t grasp the language in one semester, she would have to

continue studying it. And eventually, it would all add up to tens of thousands of dollars more each time.

When would she ever make that money back?

Aurelia didn’t consider herself smart. But when she thought of the confident girls in Leslie’s company, it was impossible to not feel jealous.

But no! She couldn’t start backing down before she’d even started!

Maria and Jessica were right. She couldn’t keep her perspective stuck at Young’s level.

But why were there so many options? How could she even decide?

Aurelia flipped through the materials, feeling overwhelmed.

“What are you looking at?” Leslie’s cold voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

Aurelia hesitated for a moment before quickly blocking the computer screen. “Nothing.”

“You want to learn a foreign language?” Leslie asked while pouring himself some water.

“Yeah.” Seeing as how Leslie had already seen it all, Aurelia stopped blocking the screen.

Leslie then pointed at the Fradish text on the screen and asked, “Do you have any background in Fradish?”

Aurelia pursed her lips and shook her head.

“Do you have a suitable language–learning environment?” Leslie asked again.

Aurelia shook her head again.

“Why did you suddenly want to learn it then?”

Aurelia didn’t respond, but her heart skipped a beat.

Yeah, why did she suddenly want to learn it? After all, the teacher had sent her materials for many different languages.

But when Aurelia thought about it, a scene gradually became clear in her mind.

It was the scene of Leslie and Cynthia standing side by side in a video call with a Framano client.

So, among all the materials, she’d clicked on Fradish at first sight.
