Chapter 53: Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Fakes With that in mind, she stormed up the stairs in a huff.

Finished Matthew watched as Aurelia stormed upstairs, rubbing his forehead. Am I overthinking it?

Meanwhile, over at the Leedon residence, both Gideon and Luna wore somewhat gloomy expressions.

“Aurelia was way out of line. How could she just stand there and watch as Mr. Zeller hit people? Couldn’t she have tried to stop him? Both Aaron and Spencer are her brothers, after all.” Melanie’s eyes were red, and she looked truly heartbroken for Aaron and Spencer.

Both Aaron and Spencer were deeply moved. Mel truly lives up to being our cherished younger sister. She’s indeed worlds apart from Aurelia.

“Earlier today at Qiao Corporation, Aurelia was disrespectful toward Dad. What on earth has gotten into her?” Melanie continued to add fuel to the fire. It would be best to have the entire family deeply despise Aurelia.

With a darkened expression, Gideon declared, “She’s beyond redemption! It’s best if our Leedon family disowns her.”

“No matter what, she is still our daughter. If she’s willing to come back and admit her mistakes, Hubby, we should give her a chance. The hospital has been calling non–stop. They’ve run out of blood. We may not need her, but Mel does. How could she become so heartless all of a sudden? Is she really going to stand by and watch Mel run out of blood?” Luna’s words were filled with blame for Aurelia.

With teary eyes, Melanie said, “Aurelia must hate me. She probably wishes I was dead.”

“She isn’t so heartless. I believe you might have misunderstood her and Mr. Zeller,” Aaron said, frowning. “It seems like they don’t have the kind of illicit relationship you’re implying.”

“Now that you mention it, it indeed doesn’t seem quite right.” Gideon pondered carefully.

Spencer scoffed. “What can you really see on the surface when two people are secretly involved? In the entertainment circle, we’ve seen too many who act like brothers in public, but behind the scenes, they’re sleeping with each other’s wives.”

“Your sister is still here, Spencer. Don’t talk nonsense,” Luna rebuked.

Spencer touched his nose. “I’m just stating the facts. Everyone in the family knows what Mel is like. Aurelia might be ambiguous with people, but Mel would never be.”

“Thank you, Spencer, for believing in me. Dad, Mom, please don’t worry yourselves sick over my matters,” Melanie said, somewhat distressed..

They were all deeply concerned about Melanie’s health condition.

Seeing that Melanie was not worried about herself, but rather concerned for them, Luna felt increasingly that no one understood her better than she did herself.

“Did Mr. Quigley ever mention when he plans to marry you?” Spencer asked, staring intently at Melanie.

He found Gordon particularly displeasing to the eye. If he had the chance to speak with Matthew, he would certainly urge him to fire Gordon.

1/3 Chapter 55 Fakes The expression on Gideon’s face suddenly became very s Finished Meanwhile, Melanie was somewhat embarrassed. “Due to Aurelia’s involvement, I didn’t get a chance to speak with Mr. Quigley Spencer wanted to ask more, but seeing the gloomy expression on Gideon’s face, he decided against it. “I need to make a trip to meet the film crew, which is a hassle. If I ask for leave, the director will surely be upset. When I joined the crew, I promised to handle all my scenes personally, without a stand–in. If I take a leave, the director will definitely have to find a body double.”

The more Spencer spoke, the angrier he became. Why must we end up with a sister like Aurelia?

Aaron, on the other hand, had been constantly furrowing his brows in worry, even harboring some inconceivable thoughts. Have we been too harsh on Aurelia before?

After work. Mabel went to pick up Aurelia.

In the car, Mabel told her that Elijah had bought too many things. There was everything from stationery and antiques to calligraphy, paintings, and ancient books, as well as various kinds of ceramics and jadeware. Essentially. Elijah had everything one could think of.

“If you come across something you don’t understand, just ignore it. If there are any fakes, tell Elijah. After all, he’s wealthy, and if he gets duped, it’s because he couldn’t tell the difference. Don’t worry about him. getting upset upon finding out it’s a fake,”

Mabel said.

Aurelia responded with a smile, “All right, I understand.”

Elijah’s home was located in the suburbs, a traditional Clusian residence that had pavilions and everything.

When Aurelia entered, she initially thought she had arrived at some scenic area.

“Stay at my place tonight. I’ve developed a hot spring over there. You all can enjoy a soak,” Elijah cheerfully suggested to Mabel.

Mabel hadn’t visited for over a year, and upon seeing that Elijah had renovated the house again, she asked, “When did you install the hot spring?”

“I already had a hot spring source here. Not long ago, I felt like soaking in a hot spring, so I had them set it up.” Elijah casually replied.

Mabel wasn’t particularly interested. “I’ve just been discharged from the hospital, and my heart isn’t in the best condition, so I’d better not soak. However, this place is just like a resort, the air is quite good. Let’s go. Let Auri take a look at your treasures.”

“All right, let’s go.” Elijah led the way.

Aurelia followed the two elders, occasionally taking in the surrounding scenery as they journeyed along. It’s so beautiful! I remember when I was in university, my classmates and I went to the suburbs for the weekend. We passed by Old Mr. Quill’s house, and at that time, some of my classmates thought it was a scenic area. They even wanted to ask where to buy the entrance tickets. However, they were stopped by the security guard, who told them that this was a private residence, not a scenic area. Upon hearing that it was a private residence, everyone was quite astonished. No one had expected it to be a private residence. Several classmates were all in awe, saying the place looked too extravagant!

After Aurelia walked in, she couldn’t help but marvel inwardly. It was no wonder Mabel had told her not to Chapter 55 Fakes worry too much about whether there would be any fakes that would upset Elijah.

Finished “We have a holiday resort of our own nearby, complete with a hot spring. I called Matthew when I went to pick you up. You two can stay there tonight.” Mabel seized every opportunity to create chances for Aurelia and Matthew to spend time together.

Mabel had been young once, and she knew that Aurelia, with her attractive figure and beautiful looks, would be stunning in a form–fitting swimsuit. It might even cause her usually aloof grandson to have a nosebleed.

“Have Matthew come directly to me. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Matthew. It would be a good opportunity for the two of us to catch up.” Elijah quickly said.

Mabel rolled her eyes. “It’s a world for the young couple. Why are you, an old man, meddling in their affairs?”

Despite being scolded by Mabel. Elijah didn’t get angry. He just chuckled, making it evident that the two elders had been great friends in their youth.

“My grandchildren won’t be back from abroad for a while,” said Elijah. “Once they return, you all should come over. It would be perfect timing for my seventieth birthday celebration, a good opportunity for everyone to gather.”

Mabel nodded. “All right. Count me in.”

As they conversed sentence by sentence, they arrived in front of a small three–story building.

“I had placed all those things in this building. Every morning after waking up, I would stroll over to take a look. These old items, the more I look at them, the more I grow fond of them,” Elijah said to Aurelia as he turned around.

Upon seeing the enormous collection stored within the three–story building. Aurelia was utterly take aback. This could be compared to a small museum, no?
