Chapter 37: Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Why Are You Goofing Around Every Day.

Forty minutes later, Aurelia arrived in front of the police station.

Just as she had parked the car and about to alight from the vehicle, she received a call from Xavier.

“Auri, where are you now?”

“I’m at the parking lot in front of the police station, planning to go in and lodge a police report first. What’s the matter, Xavier?”

Aurelia asked.

Xavier’s tone was a mix of light–heartedness and relief. “You don’t need to go to the police station for now. Many videos have come to light online, even more comprehensive than yours. There are videos of Curtis and Melanie going to the hotel together and some videos of them dating at various restaurants. Also, someone who’s supposedly your high school classmate leaked quite a bit of information. It’s currently the top trending search in the city. Someone has exposed the fact that you were maliciously reported and silenced. Now, we have gained the upper hand, and they are the ones who should be worried.”

After hanging up the phone with Xavier, Aurelia immediately went to check online.

Sure enough, the trending search had changed. All sorts of explosive revelations flooded in, overshadowing the previous news whereby Melanie and her family distorting the truth.

Could it be that these people couldn’t stand the despicable action of capitalists controlling public opinion, so they stepped forward in indignance to be champions of justice? Such voices had existed last night but were suppressed by the Leedon family.

The ghostwriters would never allow them to be the mainstream. So, how could these voices be popping ир поль Just as a hint of doubt took root in Aurelia’s heart, Nancy called.

“Auri, I’m not sure if it’s my action in rallying a few classmates to speak out together taking effect, but even the Leedon family’s ghostwriters can’t suppress the truth anymore now. Justice always rules, and no one. can escape the long arm of the law. That Melanje even issued a statement self–righteously. How laughable. Then, there’s that sc“mbag, Curtis. He also issued a statement that you were jealous and accused Melanie wrongly. I really want to find him and slap him a few times! I didn’t like him from the moment he came to our university to look for you. Tons of people pursued you in university. Oh yes, we haven’t seen each other for almost a month, right? I asked you out previously, but you had just returned to the Leedon family and said you didn’t have time and were always getting sick because of the frequent blood donations. You have time now, right?”

“I’ll always have time from now on. You choose the place. It’s my treat,” Aurelia said with a smile.

In her smiling eyes, a faint glimmer of tears shimmered.

That’s true. In my previous life. I lost the opportunity to be with my loved ones and friends because of the members of the Leedon family. It would never happen again.

“Today is my husband’s birthday/I have just finished cooking a tableful of food, waiting for him to come home. Let’s make it tomorrow af six in the evening. We’ll first go to our usual spot to have some barbecue. After that, I’ll take you to a placé guaranteed to surprise you.”

“Who would have thought that you would one day become a loving wife and mother, Nancy.” Aurelia said, with a smile.

“Trebar. I am a loving wife and mother Tomorrow I will be your confidante Auri Lam definitely not the Chapter 39 Why Are You Goofing Around Every Day kind of person who neglects her friends for her husband,” Nancy assured.

After hanging up the phone with Nancy, Aurelia drove to a street specializing in antiques.

Meanwhile, Xavier’s friends began bombarding him with messages in their group chat no sooner had he finished his call with Aurelia.

One of them asked: Xavier, did you guys hire an impressive PR team?

Another commented: This move is awesome. It left the Leedon family’s PR team with no time to react.

Someone else added: Moreover, they found all sorts of evidence so quickly!

Yet another queried: When did you know such impressive people? Just yesterday, you discussed how to solve the problem with us, and today, you’ve already found someone to handle it. You really know how to keep things under traps!

Xavier read the flood of messages in the group chat. His brows furrowed as he tapped on his phone. He replied: It isn’t me. This doesn’t seem like something anyone can pull off. My sister and I don’t know any powerful PR If I do, I wouldn’t have been so worried that I lost sleep over it last night.

One of his friends immediately refuted: That’s impossible. I work in public relations, so how could I not know? Many of those who spoke up were verified accounts and various paid media. Even the evidence was uploaded by many people. It’s clear that they were well–prepared.

Another added: Moreover, it was too swift. Just an hour ago, the Leedon family was in control of everything. But in just a matter of minutes, look at what happened now. The Leedon family must be panicking.

Yet another typed: Such speed can rival that of Quigley Group’s PR team.

Similar sentiments continued coming in.

As Xavier stared at his phone screen and read through his friends analysis, his brows did not case but furrowed deeply.

On second thought, duri has been very calm throughout it all. And ever since she left the Leedon residence, it’s uncertain where she has been living. Don’t tell me... she plunged into despair after having been deceived and betrayed by Curtis and sought out a so–called powerful backer! Moreover, Mom told me that Auri gave her some money. Furthermore, duri has been beautiful since young and was recently deceived by Curtis and bullied by the Leedon family. Could she have gone astray?

Having been in the society for many years, he knew how chaotic the world was.

Xavier abruptly shot to his feet.

CH:

Seeing his fierce expression, his coworker beside him stuttered in fear, “Xavier, let’s calm down. Aaron has an influential background in Jacaster. We really don’t have any evidence that he stole your thesis. Why don’t we do a new one? Going against him won’t do you any good. Everyone now knows that he stole your paper. He wouldn’t dare openly target you in the future. If it weren’t for his family’s connections, he wouldn’t have been able to join our company.”

Xavier looked at his coworker and said with a stern face, “I have no intention of seeking him out again. He can steal my paper, but he can’t steal practical experience. When it comes to the real practice, he won’t be Chapter 39 Why Are You Goofing Around Every Day able to handle it.”

“You scared me to death. I thought you were going to confront him!” The coworker breathed a sigh of relief.

Xavier picked up his phone again. Just as he was about to call Aurelia once more, he stopped himself from doing so.

Ultimately, it was all his speculation right then.

Once I’ve gotten off work. I’ll ask Auri out and ask her about it.

At Quigley Group, Matthew glanced at his phone after his meeting had concluded.

Mabel called him just now, but he didn’t hear it because his phone was on silent.

He called her back.

“Is something the matter, Grandma?”

“What? Can I only call my grandson when there’s something? Am I not allowed to call when there’s nothing important?” Mabel huffed.

Hearing his grandmother’s spirited retort, Matthew massaged his temples. “You can call me anytime, Grandma.”

“Don’t come to the hospital today. Some old friends of mine are visiting, and they all brought their grandchildren along. I’ll be embarrassed if you come and bump into them,” Mabel said, Despite being disdained, Matthew had long since grown accustomed to it. He played along and said, “All right, I won’t come.”

“Invite Auri to the hot spring today. It would be perfect for you two to spend a night at our family’s hot spring hotel and forge a closer relationship. Ideally, I would love to have a great–grandson or great- granddaughter tonight. Then, I can proudly show them off next year,” Mabel suggested.

Matthew frowned. “I have a lot of work today, Grandma.”

“Is Quigley Group employing a bunch of good–for–nothings? You’re almost thirty. Why are you still goofing around every day?”

Mabel questioned.
