Finished He had spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital. He had also sold his house and borrowed. money from every relative he could think of. In the end, he cashed out his bank card, borrowed various sums from his college friends, and even accessed online lending platforms. Through all these efforts, he had finally managed to gather enough money for his motherâs surgery.
The time for the surgery had also been set.
Originally, he had planned to address the issues with Aurelia after his motherâs surgery was completed. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Aurelia wasnât looking for Gordon, but for Matthew instead.
Someone that he didnât even dare to think about.
Has Aurelia changed? She never was one to care about a boyfriendâs background, and she never cared whether one was from a wealthy family at all. Yet, she ended up being Matthewâs lover, allowing herself to be toyed with by him. I canât believe we spent seven years together! For seven years, she wouldnât let me touch her, yet she allowed Matthew to do so. He couldnât accept it. If she had slept with him, he would never have ended up sleeping with Melanie.
He glanced at the towering Gardner Group Building, a place that seemed to touch the sky. It was a place that many desired to enter, yet found themselves unable to.
When Aurelia was with him, she enjoyed visiting museums and often liked to stroll down the antique street. She had practically read all the history books in the library. However, reading and liking something didnât mean one knew how to restore it. Aureliaâs entry was definitely due to Matthew.
To the average person, Norman was said to be very fair in selecting members of his team, relying on merit However, for affluent families, such rules were only applicable to common folk.
Aurelia broke up with me without hesitation, all because of these superficial things!
Another half hour had passed before Aurelia stepped out of the building. A trace of fatigue etched on her face. She hadnât eaten lunch that day, her mind solely focused on the restoration.
Even though she appeared calm and didnât seem to care about the money involved, it was actually a facade, for she did care deeply for it, She planned to set aside time this weekend to check out some properties. She wanted to purchase a house of her own, one that truly belonged to her family. It would be place where her adoptive mother and brothers could all move in together.
A smile tugged at the corners of Aureliaâs lips as the thought filled her mind.
Just as she was about to head to the parking lot, a figure rushed toward her. Grabbing her slender arm, it forcefully pulled her aside.
1/3 Chapter 104 Matthew Was Just Having Fun With You æ¨30%份 Finished The change in Curtis was truly drastic. He had lost a significant amount of weight and hadnât shaved his beard, looking even more disheveled than the last time they met.
âLet me go!â
Aurelia pulled back with all her strength.
At the same time, she countered with two slaps, one on the left and the other on the right.
The blows were delivered with no reservation at all, for she had long wanted to beat Curtis into a pulp.
Given what he just did, he was practically begging for a beating, and if she didnât give it to him, she would have failed to serve justice to all the wrongdoings he had committed in their past lives.
During this period, Curtis had not been exercising and had been wallowing in selfâpity, so when Aurelia struck him, he was momentarily stunned and staggered back.
âAurelia, youâve changed. Youâre not the same person you used to be! You would never have acted this way before. I know everything now. Are you Matthewâs mistress? Aurelia, do you realize heâs just toying with you? Heâs not going to marry you, nor take responsibility for you.â
Aurelia raised an eyebrow, His focus has shifted from Gordon to Matthew, how did he figure it out?
âAre you done talking? If you are, then leave,â Aurelia said, her face expressionless.
When she saw Curtis again, she felt no emotions at all.
This is the way. A scumbag like him isnât worth any emotional turmoil on my part.
Curtisâ felt a heartâwrenching pain, as if someone was slowly driving a knife into his heart. âYou used to constantly tell me you loved me, that you wanted to marry me. We even made a vow together, promising we would never part in this lifetime. Do you realize, youâre breaking that vow now?
âYouâve been secretly involved with Melanie for quite some time now. Not only have you learned to twist the truth, but youâve also picked up some acting skills?â Aurelia remarked sarcastically.
She noticed that anyone who had any connection with Melanie seemed to mirror her behavior. It was so shameless that they were like two peas in a pod.
âI... Melanie and I arenât what you think. She deceived me by making me believe I was falling for her. But the truth is, Iâve always loved you, and that has never changed. Aurelia, youâve made a mistake too. Weâve both walked down the wrong path. Weâve both made mistakes. I forgive you. Can you forgive me too? The only person in this world who can truly love you and sincerely wants to marry you is me.â Curtisâ bloodshot eyes were fixed intently on Aurelia.
When she looked at him in the past, her eyes were always full of love.
In contrast to then, all he could/see in her eyes was nothing but indifference.
âNo, you made an unforgivable mistake, not me,â Aurelia said with regret.
Iâve wasted seven years of my life with him. Seven years ago, I can only say that I was blind. How did I fall for someone thoâs so disgusting?
2/3 Chapter 104 Matthew Was Just Having Fun With You Finished The security guard out front noticed something was amiss and rushed over. âMs. Shaw, do you need any assistance?â
âItâs okay. I just ran into a lunatic, Aurelia explained with a slight smile.
તાર The security guard felt at ease as he glanced at Curtis, subtly nodding his head.
He looks as if he is mentally disturbed. What a waste of a goodâlooking man.
âWhat are you looking at?â Curtis yelled at the security guard.
The security guard rolled his eyes. âGet lost. Donât think I wonât hit you just because youâre crazy. If you keep bothering Ms.
Shaw, I wonât hesitate to give you a beating!â
Aurelia knew that the security personnel hired by Norman were all exâmilitary who were skilled fighters.. Dealing with Curtis would be a walk in the park for them.
Curtis had never imagined that he would be humiliated by a security guard, his emotions teetering on the brink of collapse.
âGet lost! Sheâs my girlfriend. Weâre just having an argument,â Curtis yelled.
The security guard looked at Aurelia.
Aureliaâs expression was indifferent, treating Curtis as if he were a stranger, a far cry from the latterâs claims.
Dâmn it! Why are there so many crazies around this year?
âAurelia, we need to have a serious talkâ Curtis regained his composure. âThis isnât the right place for it. How about we go to that burger joint we often visit?â
Even if he was seething with anger, he could not let it show.
He still had the drug that Melanie had given him in his hand.
Just a moment ago, he was still hesitant, not wanting to resort to such desperate measures.
However, he now blamed Aurelia for forcing his hand by not obeying him.
âLet it go, Curtis.â Upon hearing the mention of burgers Aurelia felt a wave of nausea.
She enjoyed eating out, but that was back when Curtis didnât have much money. The places they could afford to dine at were limited, and the burger joint became their most extravagant expense.
âNo, Auri, I canât let go. Iâve never agreed to break up. You wouldnât want everyone at your workplace to know about our issues, would you? If you donât want that, then come with me.â Curtis regained his composure, his eyes reflecting the same emotions as before.
He wanted Aurelia to remember the memories they once shared.
