Matthew cast a cool glance at Aurelia.

She was pinning a woman to the ground. The latter’s face was battered and swollen red. Yet, she appeared nonchalant and innocent.
Looks like she’s feeling better now.
Gordon was taken aback when he saw Aurelia.
Then, with a stern face, he turned to the manager. “Tell me what’s going on.”
The manager was on edge, wondering why Matthew would come here today to witness this scene.
If he didn’t handle this situation well, he would risk losing his job.
Suddenly, Aurelia realized that this hotel and the entire building belonged to Quigley Group, which explained her encounter with Matthew here.
The manager promptly explained to Matthew what had just transpired and how he intended to resolve the matter, using the most concise words.
Upon learning the ins and outs, Matthew swept his gaze over the other individuals in the office.
An involuntary hush fell over the room.
Although Luna did not involve herself in the company’s affairs, everyone in the upper– class circle had heard of Matthew. Moreover, her husband had been hinting over the past few days, expressing his intention to seek an opportunity to int
This was a plan to elevate the status of the Leedon family in Jacaster.
When she saw Matthew, she was shocked and filled with regret. She wished she hadn’t made things difficult for Phyllis, which allowed Matthew to witnes
This greatly damaged Melanie’s image.
When she saw Aurelia still acting rudely and pressing down on Melanie, she nearly lost her sanity. Is Phyllis just going to stand there and watch? Is she
“Aurelia, get up from me! How could you just hit me like that?” After regaining her senses, Melanie immediately assumed the posture of a helpless victim.
Phyllis realized that the situation was quite complex.
She was afraid that Aurelia might be implicated as well.
Suddenly, she felt a pang of regret. If she had apologized to Luna, perhaps things wouldn’t have turned out to be as complicated as they were now.

Phyllis‘ panic made it even clearer to the manager who was looking over that it was just a matter of sacrificing a cleaner.
The customer is king, especially when they are a well–known and respected customer.
“Phyllis, tell your daughter to let go of our customer!” the manager sternly ordered Phyllis.
“Now that I’ve cooled down, let’s just let this matter rest,” Luna said, showing a degree of magnanimity. “In the future, when you hire employees, you mus
Tears streamed down Melanie’s face, making her appear even more fragile.
In contrast, Aurelia appeared to be a bully.
She lifted her leg, then nonchalantly stood up.
“Phyllis, no matter what, you must apologize to the guest first,” the manager insisted, indifferent. to whether they knew each other or not. In front of Matth
“Do I need to repeat myself? My mother did nothing wrong. They framed her. Should I call the police?” Aurelia grasped Phyllis‘ hand.
Phyllis said softly to Aurelia, “Auri, perhaps it’s best if I apologize so we can put this matter behind us.”
Aurelia gave a shake of her head to express her stance.
If they backed down this time, it would only encourage Luna and Melanie to become more brazen and shameless in the future.
“You!” Luna was infuriated.
“You just hit me…” Melanie said with her head bowed, biting her red lip, seemingly still afraid of
Aurelia.
Aurelia was all too familiar with Melanie’s pretentious demeanor. She said with a smirk, “Even if we were at the police station, it would still be a case of m defending myself. If you had no intention of striking me, why would I have hit you?”
“Auri never initiated a fight,” Phyllis testified.
Matthew gave Luna a cold glance, then he turned his gaze toward Aurelia. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Their eyes briefly met before they simultaneously shifted their gaze away.
Matthew looked at Gordon.
“Take care of this.”

Gordon knew the true relationship between his boss and Aurelia, a secret marriage that couldn’t be revealed to others. Therefore, at that moment, he did
However, the fact that Matthew had him handle it indicated that he didn’t want Aurelia to be bullied.
Despite Aurelia’s successful evasion of bullying and her impressive retaliation, Luna could only attribute it to her misfortune that she mistreated her own
“Pull up the surveillance footage to see if they have falsely accused our hotel staff. If they have, call the police immediately.”
Upon hearing these words, the manager was stunned.
Luna’s face changed. “What?”
Melanie turned pale with fright. “Is this how you handle things when Mr. Quigley asks you to?”
Aurelia nodded at Gordon as a sign of gratitude.
“Thank you for believing in me,” Phyllis immediately said to Gordon.
“As for you, today’s incident clearly shows that you lack professionalism and objectivity. Go to the finance department and collect an extra month’s salary

This was the best job he had found in years.
The monthly salary was high, and the work environment was quite decent.
Am I really fired just because I was wholeheartedly protecting the customers?
Luna and Melanie were flustered.
Luna glared at Aurelia and Phyllis, feeling frustrated. She thought about how well she had treated Aurelia over the past six months, only for her to side w

“Are you sure?” Aurelia looked at them expressionlessly, knowing they were putting on a show.
In her previous life, just like now, they had made mistakes that were exposed. Yet, they had casually dismissed it as a misunderstanding, which didn’t lea
Back then, she had thought that family shouldn’t be too petty with each other, so she had easily forgiven them.
They didn’t really think they were wrong.
“It would be better to clarify everything in front of the police,” Aurelia said, her tone indifferent.
Gordon had investigated the relationship between Aurelia and the Leedon family. From the information he gathered, it appeared that Aurelia was always

Melanie was both angry and anxious. What’s the matter with Aurelia all of a sudden? Why is she so stubborn and unyielding?
