Chapter 24: Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Terminate The Agreement He walked over and sat down on the couch, crossing his legs.

Aurelia noticed that his attitude was somewhat unusual.

Is it because of what happened at La Royale Hotel today?

She walked over and sat down across from Matthew.

The events that transpired at La Royale Hotel today have nothing to do with him, right? Is he afraid that others will discover my relationship with him?

It can’t be. We signed an agreement. I didn’t speak a word to him today. So, why is he wearing such a stern expression?

As she was pondering the reason, she noticed a contract laid out on the coffee table.

Upon seeing the words “Secret Marriage Agreement” above, she was somewhat taken aback.

Isn’t this the agreement we signed on the day we got our marriage certificate?

Seeing the puzzled look on Aurelia’s face, Matthew said, “You remember the terms of the agreement, don’t you?”

Although Aurelia was somewhat confused, she still nodded.

At the time of signing the agreement, she had given it a cursory read. There were no excessive stipulations, apart from the emphasis on maintaining the confidentiality of the marriage and the specified duration of the agreement.

“Mr. Quigley, just get right to it.”

Matthew held a cigarette between his fingers. As the smoke swirled around him, his facial. expression was obscured, making it hard for anyone to read.

Watching Aurelia act as if she had no idea what she had done wrong, Matthew couldn’t help but scoff with laughter.

“Speak up, how did you and your boyfriend plan this? What do you want from me? Before we head to City Hall to get divorced, I will give you what I can for the sake of Grandma. After that, don’t show up in front of her again.”

Aurelia furrowed her brows, finally understanding why his face was so icy. “Curtis and I have long since broken up, and I never thought to gain anything from you. Old Mrs. Quigley has always. been good to me, and my marrying you is simply to repay her kindness. You can rest assured.”

“You’ve long since broken up?” Matthew listened to Aurelia’s lie, opened his phone, and tossed it in front of her.

On the screen, a young man and woman were seen embracing each other in front of a hotel 1/4 20% OFF до Chapter 26 Terminate The Agreement He walked over and sat down on the couch, crossing his legs.

Chapter 26 Terminate The Agreement Finnbied entrance.

Judging solely from the photograph, the man was deeply in love with the woman as he held her tightly in his arms, However, after Aurelia saw this photo, a wave of nausea continuously churned in her stomach, making her feel sick.

The sensation of being held by Curtis made her feel nauseous.

She pursed her lips and calmed herself down. “Yes.”

“Then why were you guys hugging each other so tightly?”

Matthew clearly didn’t believe her, his eyes cold.

“If you had looked closely, you would have certainly seen that it was him who forcefully embraced me. If the person taking the photos had waited a few more seconds, they would have seen me pushing him away. I remember the terms of the agreement very clearly. There will be absolutely no involvement with any other man within three years. If this photo is being used to defame me, then I agree to terminate the agreement.”

Aurelia voiced the thoughts in her heart in one breath.

After she finished speaking, she felt relieved. However, she also thought that Matthew’s suspici were indeed reasonable.

Watching his expression visibly cool, she took out her phone and looked. for the photo taken that day at the car dealership.

“Curtis and Melanie have been secretly together a long time. Putting aside the fact that I no longer harbor any feelings for Curtis, just based on this incident alone, it’s impossible for me to have any further entanglements with him.”

After just one glance at the photo, Matthew withdrew his gaze.

However, this could not alter his decision.

This kind of relationship between men and women always ends up in a tangled mess in the end. To avoid causing a scene in front of Grandma in the future, it’s best to put an end to it now.

“This doesn’t really prove anything.”

Upon seeing his firm stance, Aurelia didn’t intend to explain further. She had said everything that needed to be said. “If you insist on terminating the agreement, I have no objections.”

Such a straightforward attitude indeed altered Matthew’s impression of Aurelia slightly.

“Let’s go to City Hall together at half past nine tomorrow morning. What kind of compensation do you want?” he asked.

He was never a stingy man. Although Aurelia had approached him with ulterior motives, she indeed managed to make his grandmother very happy. It was evident that she genuinely cared Chapter 26 Terminate The Agreement “I don’t need any compensation,” Aurelia flatly refused.

In her letter, Hannah had stated that she could soar as high as the sky and as far as the she wished to make money, she certainly could.

Fished sea, and if “If Old Mrs. Quigley wishes to see me, or if there’s any way I can assist her, I hope you won’t stand in my way. Because in my heart, Old Mrs. Quigley and Hannah are both elders whom I deeply respect and cherish.”

Matthew knew Hannah and had met her a few times.

He was a very mysterious elder.

She was also Mabel’s friend.

However, Hannah was Hannah. It didn’t mean that the woman before him was of a simple mind.

“I almost forgot something. Before we got our marriage certificate, you promised to cease all assistance to the Leedon family. I hope you’ll keep your word,” Aurelia added.

She had said all that needed to be said.

Matthew gazed thoughtfully at Aurelia.

Her words were forthright and candid, making it seem as if he was the one intentionally causing trouble merely to terminate their agreement.

He frowned. “All right.”

The two had essentially reached a consensus.

All that was needed was to go to City Hall tomorrow.

Aurelia stood up, picked up her bag, and headed upstairs. “I’m going to pack my things. I’ll be moving out of Starry Sea Mansion tomorrow. When the time comes, just tell Grandma... that after spending these days together, we realized that our personalities clashed and we couldn’t envision a life together. I believe she will understand.”

Matthew raised an eyebrow in surprise. She has even prepared her excuses in advance?

Aurelia could tell that Matthew was suspicious and defensive of her. Without waiting for his response, she headed straight upstairs.

“There’s no need to rush packing your things. You can do it after you return from City Hall tomorrow. I’ll have Gordon give you a ride,” Matthew said.

Aurelia shook her head. “I don’t have many things, so packing up won’t be a hassle.”

Matthew remained silent, his face slightly cold.

Ten minutes later, Matthew appeared in front of Aurelia’s room.

407 PM Chapter 26 Terminate The Agreement Finished He looked at the neatly packed suitcase. The room had already returned to the way it was before she came.

She held no ounce of nostalgia for Starry Sea Mansion.

An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart as if his previous guess had been wrong.

Before he had time to think further, he looked at Aurelia, who was already looking up at him, and said, “Grandma just went to the hospital with a bad heart condition. We need to rush there now.”

A sense of urgency gripped Aurelia. “Hasn’t she been feeling better for the past two days?”

“We can only know the specifics once we arrive at the hospital,” Matthew said in a deep voice.

Aurelia immediately stopped what she was doing. “Let’s hurry over, then.”

“Okay.”

The road was clear of traffic, so they arrived at the hospital half an hour later.

Upon arriving at the hospital, they headed straight for Mabel’s ward.

Upon seeing their arrival, Evelyn quickly relayed Mabel’s current situation. “Old Mrs. Quigley just fell asleep. She said that if you arrive, you should eat something first. She mentioned that she has something to discuss with you once she’s awake.”
