Chapter 199 Taint His Ears Finished When Aurelia went downstairs, she sent Phyllis a message, letting her know that everything had been sorted out and there was nothing to worry about.
She then reassured Xavier that all was well, promising to fill him in on the specifics once everything was settled.
Following that, the few of them proceeded to the police station.
Inside the police station, Benjaminâs gaze kept shifting back and forth between Aurelia and Zayne.
Aaron and Spencer were present, as well as the production team.
This crowd made the police station feel incredibly cramped.
The police patiently recorded their statements one by one.
Zayne glanced at Matthewâs instructions on WhatsApp. A small smirk formed on his lips as he looked at Aurelia.
Aurelia felt somewhat confused by Zayneâs glance. âDo you have something to say, Mr. Luther?â
Zayne replied, âItâs nothing.â
Even if Matthew didnât explicitly say it, his actions always demonstrated that he would never let his opponents off the hook.
Aaron was seated next to Melanie. When he and Spencer saw Aurelia, they were instantly filled with rage.
How dare Aurelia call the police? The Gardner Group is causing such a commotion over a mere employee. How unbelievable!
Things just arenât going our way recently. How detestable!
Originally, Aaron felt somewhat guilty towards Aurelia. But now, he felt no guilt at all.
Instead, they felt that Aurelia was being overly dramatic.
Worried that Melanie would be frightened, he gently reassured her in a low voice, âDonât be scared, Mel. Nothingâs going to happen.â
Melanie wasnât afraid, with so many people around. After all, if anything were to happen, her three older brothers would handle it.
What she couldnât wrap her head around was how Aurelia managed to earn a million from Norman monthly, especially when Aurelia had just started working.
Additionally, Benjamin mentioned on the way that todayâs incident would leave the Leedon family and the production team in a rough spot. The reason was Zayne, the lawyer.
Zayne is a member of Quigley Group. If Aurelia can hire someone from Quigley Group, could it be that my 1/4 Chapter 199 Taint His Ears previous speculation is correct? Aurelia and Matthew...
Melanie bit her lower lip, feeling indignant.
From the corner of her eye, Aurelia noticed how intimate Aaron and Melanie were. Their interactions were slightly different from before.
One would notice it upon closer inspection.
Recalling Curtisâs previous remark about the relationship between the two and how Benjamin and Spencer seemed completely oblivious, Aurelia scoffed inwardly.
The Leedon family is thoroughly rotten to the core.
After the statements were done, Zayne insisted that the Leedon family and the production team apologize to Aurelia.
After hearing it, both Aaron and Spencer found it unbelievable.
âThe one in the wrong was Aurelia. Why should we be the ones to apologize? After my mom got into the car accident, it was she who evaded responsibility. We were left with no other choice but to seek help from the production team. Sheâs the one who should be apologizing!â rebuked Spencer angrily.
Aaronâs expression was grim. âAuri, you shouldnât have done this.â
Itâs already embarrassing to end up at the police station. What on earth is she planning to do next?
He was truly disappointed in Aurelia!
They are both girls, yet why canât Aurelia measure up to Mel? Mel is always wellâbehaved and sensible, never causing any trouble at home. But Aurelia is different! She insists on bringing trouble to the family! She makes things so troublesome for everyone. Is it really that hard to listen to us?
Zayne experienced how shameless the Leedon family was firsthand. Matthew had told him not to let Aurelia engage in excessive conversation with such scum, as it would only serve to taint her ears.
Tsk! Heâs scared that Aureliaâs ears would be tainted, but what about my ears?
He turned his head toward Aurelia. âLeave this to me. Ms. Aurelia, you may go ahead and leave.â
Aurelia nodded. Not sparing Aaron and his group a glance, she headed straight for the exit.
âWait!â Benjamin suddenly called out to stop Aurelia.
Aurelia turned her head to look at Benjamin.
âWhy donât we just end things here? Weâve decided that you donât need to go back and take care of Mom. Just visit her in the hospital and spend some time chatting with her. After all, weâre family. We can discuss and resolve any issue together. Thereâs no need to involve lawyers and 2/4 Chapter 199 Taint His Ears Finished Before saying these words, Benjamin clenched his teeth, as if it was torture to say them out loud.
However, perhaps because he was still wary, he eventually bowed his head and uttered these words.
âBenjamin, have you lost your mind? Why are you apologizing to her? We did nothing wrong. Itâs all her fault!â Spencer widened his eyes in disbelief.
Aaron frowned.
Meanwhile, Melanie seemed to be ill at ease.
âShut up and stop talking!â yelled Benjamin immediately.
They are too slow to react. Canât they tell that the people Aurelia had invited over are not to be trifled with? Now that weâre up against representatives from Quigley Group, we can only restrain ourselves to smooth things over. Otherwise, we might encounter unexpected troubles.
Spencer was also quite shocked.
Aaronâs already solemn expression turned even more grim.
With an ambiguous smile, Aurelia looked at Benjamin. âIf you have any issues, discuss them with my lawyer.â
The production team nearby didnât dare to utter a word.
At this point, they were utterly puzzled.
Since the show started, they had dealt with their fair share of difficult individuals. However, this was the first time someone had sued them.
Moreover, the opposing lawyer was really formidable!
Before the show was fully recorded, let alone broadcast, it had already stirred up a whole lot of trouble. They didnât even know what to do.
Moreover, the director was also completely confused at the moment.
Before Aurelia left, she had taken note of all of their expressions.
She had just started work today when this incident occurred, leaving her in a bad mood toward the Leedon family and the production team.
Without a doubt, it was clear that the production team had accepted some form of incentive from Benjamin and the rest. They coordinated an ambush early in the morning.
Aurelia walked straight out of the police station.
The muscles in Benjaminâs face suddenly tensed, while his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
3:49 PM Chapter 199 Taint His Ears Finished As Melanie watched Aurelia depart, the look in her eyes shifted. She walked toward Zayne while pretending to be a vulnerable victim.
She asked softly, âMr. Luther, how much did Aurelia pay you?â
She simply refused to give up.
Why is Aurelia so lucky that she can catch Matthewâs eye?
Without a doubt, either Aurelia had spent a fortune to hire Zayne or she had promised him some benefits.
As for the benefits, one could easily guess that it was her beauty.
Zayneâs gaze was icy as he scrutinized Melanie. âNo comment.â
Biting her lower lips, Melanie said, âI was just asking. Do you really need to be so heartless? Besides, we can match any offer that Aurelia can make.â
Zayne averted his gaze immediately. He had encountered numerous twoâfaced, pretentious. b*tches in his career. The manipulator standing before him now was of no particular significance.
Seeing Zayne completely ignore her, Melanie felt indignant. Her eyes reddening, she turned to look at Aaron.
Feeling a pang of sympathy for Melanie, Aaron walked over and gently reassured her, âThereâs no need to talk to him.
Regardless of how much money Aurelia spent on hiring a lawyer, we did. nothing wrong today.â
Just as Aurelia stepped out of the police station, her phone rang. It was a call from Matthew.
