Chapter 93

Worried that something might be wrong with Millie, Aurelia quickly called her.

However, there was no answer. She made several calls, all of which went unanswered. She had no choice but to send a few messages to Millie.

“Millie, are you okay? How did the blind date go? Something came up earlier, so I couldn’t answer your calls.”

“Millie, why aren’t you responding? If there’s a problem, please call me.”

“Millie, let me know when you get home.”

Each message seemed to vanish into thin air, and Aurelia couldn’t help but furrow her brows. Just as she was about to call Millie again, Seth’s mother pushed her forcefully.

“Why are you still sitting in the car? You’re not thinking of backing out, are you?”

“I’m coming.”

Aurelia didn’t have the energy to argue with her and put her phone away before getting out of the car. When they entered the police station, they were greeted by a young man.

After explaining their purpose, he looked at Aurelia as if he couldn’t quite believe it. “Miss, it’s said that he harassed you for several days. Are you sure you want to reconcile?”

“Yes,” Aurelia nodded helplessly.

They both knew that harassment like this often didn’t stop after just one incident. If not resolved properly the first time, it could lead to even more trouble later. But Aurelia had to ensure her mother’s safety, so she had no choice but to agree.

The young man prepared the paperwork for them to sign, and after signing, someone led Seth into the room.

At this moment, Seth had lost his former confidence and swagger. His hair resembled a bird’s nest, with a noticeable bald spot at the back, as if someone had forcibly pulled a chunk out.

His nose was red and swollen, and there were clear handprint marks on his face. Even with his designer clothes, he couldn’t hide his comical disarray.

When Seth saw Aurelia, he clearly felt embarrassed and actually hid behind his mother like a child. Seeing her son in this state, Seth’s mother began to wail and complain.

“Seth, how did you end up like this? Did the police use violence against you? Tell Mom, I will definitely seek justice for you!”

“Ma’am, making false accusations against others can lead to legal consequences. If you have any doubts, we can discuss it further in the interrogation room,” warned the police officer. Upon hearing this, Seth’s face turned pale, and he hastily pulled his mother away.

“Let’s go, hurry up, don’t embarrass yourself any further.”

Apparently, he was aware that his actions were far from commendable. Seth’s mother couldn’t resist giving Aurelia a spiteful look as they left.

“Aurelia, just you wait!”

After saying this, the two of them hastily fled. The young man who organized the documents chuckled and discussed the situation with his colleagues nearby.

“This guy bragged about himself so much at the men’s social gathering. He claimed he received 3,000 dollars worth of designer items as birthday gifts from women. But he got caught red–handed when he wore a fake watch worth only 900 dollars.

“He thought wealthy people wouldn’t care about that small amount of money. But even wealthy people can’t let themselves be fooled like that.

“Two hours ago, that woman brought her five brothers over demanding money. This guy quickly caved and returned the money. As she was leaving, she asked for a hug, then forcefully pulled out a bunch of his hair.

“She even used the fake watch to hit his nose, resulting in a medical bill of 250 dollars. He didn’t dare to utter a word. We can’t really say much about it.”

Aurelia thought, 250 dollars? It must be his whole bank account. She couldn’t help but smile and felt like applauding this woman. Let’s see how Seth would act now!

With the situation resolved, it was already 1:00 AM. Aurelia called Sophia to check on her mother’s condition. After hearing everything was fine, she finally relaxed and went back home.

On her way home, she noticed Millie hadn’t replied to her messages, and her phone was switched off. Aurelia assumed she must be asleep. If there was any issue, Millie would have already sent a long message filled with gossip.

Back at her place, Aurelia quietly entered her room, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.

In a hotel room, Millie was tightly wrapped in her blanket, crying bitterly. There were visible bruises on her neck from being choked.
