“I’m trying to confirm whether someone intentionally framed my mother and to give her the justice she truly deserves.”
Aurelia gazed deeply and intensely at the two people before her.
She needed a strong willpower to control herself.
Just as she had managed to subdue Melanie, she had nearly made a move to kill her.
However, she thought of her family, and of Hannah and Mabel, who had gone to jail for Luna and Melanie. Her rebirth would have been meaningless if s
“You!” Luna exclaimed in shock.
Is she still the same Auri who wanted to please me in every possible way?
Melanie despised Aurelia.
She really couldn’t let the police come over.
With a flash of inspiration, she looked at Phyllis through tear– filled eyes. “We’ve already admitted. our mistake, Aunt Phyllis. Can we just let this matter rest, please? If this gets blown out of proportion, it won’t do any
Phyllis‘ heart was pierced by the call of “Aunt Phyllis.”
However, she was well aware that if the matter escalated, it would not bode well for Aurelia. It would further strain Aurelia’s relationship with the Leedon

Gordon turned to look at his phone. He had already received the elevator surveillance video.
Indeed, the video showed Luna initiating the attack, but it happened in a blind spot. Therefore, it was impossible to confirm whether Luna had removed h
He forwarded the video to Aurelia.
Aurelia saw the video sent by Gordon and took a look at it.
“Since Phyllis has already accepted our apology, let’s leave the matter at that. Auri, I know you’re still upset at us for not buying you a car and even can of this is for your own good. Come home tonight. I won’t hold today’s incident against you.”
Observing Aurelia’s consistent defense of Phyllis and her apparent indifference toward her, Luna suddenly experienced a pang of discomfort in her heart

She was her mother, yet Aurelia only had eyes for Phyllis, a cleaner.
Aurelia had never heard Luna speak in such a gentle manner. Now, hearing these words, she thought it was ridiculous.
“If you dare to bully my mother in the future, I will not let you off even if it costs me my life,” Aurelia warned, clutching Phyllis‘ arm.
With that, she left the office with Phyllis.
Luna was taken aback by Aurelia’s words. It seemed as if she had become a different person.
Melanie thought that Aurelia was out of her mind for daring to threaten Luna just to defend a cleaner.
Waves of pain washed over her face, making her draw in a sharp breath. She took out her phone and sent a message to Curtis.
It read: I met Aurelia at La Royale Hotel. She slapped me and even managed to anger my mother.
A minute later, Curtis replied: I’m near La Royale Hotel. I’ll head over there right now.
He had to see Aurelia. After so many days of not being able to reach her, he realized that Aurelia truly intended to break up with him this time.
It was precisely during the lunch break when Phyllis and Aurelia arrived at the employee lounge.
The mother and daughter were enjoying their pizza.
Phyllis also went to get the staff meal.
The staff meals at La Royale Hotel were quite lavish, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables. providing both nutrition and health.
“Auri, you and your mother-” Phyllis thought of the tense atmosphere from before and felt somewhat uneasy.
“I only acknowledge you as my mother. From now on, I have no connection with the Leedon family,” Aurelia declared solemnly.
“Auri, talk to me. Did something happen to you at the Leedon residence? Did they bully you?” Phyllis asked with a heart full of concern.
She must have been bullied by the Leedon family.
Auri has a good personality. She’s understanding and empathetic since she was a child. If the Leedon family hadn’t done something, how could Auri hav
Aurelia didn’t want Phyllis to worry. “It’s nothing, Mom. Don’t worry.”
Phyllis didn’t ask any more questions. If Aurelia didn’t want to talk about it now, she would wait

spoiling her twice as much in the future.
After finishing their lunch, Aurelia and Phyllis took the elevator to leave and ran into Matthew. again.
With one hand tucked in his pocket, he exuded an aura of authority that warned others to keep their distance.
Upon seeing Aurelia enter the elevator, he merely cast her a glance.
In the elevator, aside from Gordon, there were several top–level hotel i reporting their work to Matthew.
Aurelia adhered to the agreement, acting as if she didn’t know Matthew.
Gordon could only pretend that he didn’t know Aurelia as well.
The elevator quickly reached the first floor.
Aurelia stepped out of the elevator first, then briskly walked out of the hotel.
At the entrance of the hotel, she received a message from Matthew.
It read: Give me a few minutes.
Aurelia looked at the message and couldn’t help but start to speculate.
Is it because of my dispute with Luna and Melanie?
They were
Just as she was somewhat dazed while looking at the message, she was suddenly seized by a strong hand on her wrist, and due to inertia, she fell into an em an embrace she once heavily relied upon.
“My love, I’ve finally found you. I’ve been reflecting these past few days. Ever since we moved to Jacaster, we’ve both been increasingly busy with our ow
After Curtis finished speaking, he leaned in for a kiss.
Not far away, Matthew, who had just walked out of the hotel, saw the two people embracing each

Gordon’s eyes widened.
“Ms. Aurelia…”
Haven’t they broken up? I had a private detective investigate Curtis, and it seemed they had recently found something. What are they… Boss is….

Matthew narrowed his eyes and exuded a hint of coldness. He turned around and walked back into the hotel, ordering Gordon, “Get me the agreement t
Huh?
Is he planning to terminate the agreement ahead of schedule?
Aurelia’s body was incredibly stiff, even trembling slightly in an uncontrollable manner, to the point that she didn’t react immediately.
By the time she reacted, Curtis‘ lips were already close in front of her eyes.
Her face was ashen, and she used all her strength to push Curtis away.
Curtis was caught off guard. He hadn’t expected Aurelia to ruthlessly push him away.
In the past, whenever he offered a sincere apology to Aurelia, regardless of how incensed she was, her anger would invariably subside. This was a strat
He was taken aback as he met Aurelia’s cold gaze.
In those beautiful, clear eyes, a hint of resentment shimmered.
“My love…”
Aurelia thought she could face Curtis with composure, but now, seeing Curtis, the one who had betrayed and hurt her the most, she couldn’t control her
