In the end, she decided to go and investigate whether her reincarnation had triggered a butterfly effect or if Luna was indeed pretending to be ill.
After getting off work, she made her way to the hospital to visit Chad, who had recently undergone
surgery.
Only afterward did she drive to the Leedon residence.
The Leedons had evidently prepared for her arrival long in advance.
Luna lay in bed, her once exquisite makeup removed, presenting the facade of a severely ill and weakened. individual.
Nearly every member of the Leedon family was present, crowding the room with their presence.
Luna was uneasy. “We don’t even know if she’ll come back, but if she does, what’s our plan?”
“First, we’ll have her admit her mistakes, and then she must contact Mr. Zeller. The situation’s not hopeless yet; we can still fix this,” Gideon replied with

He was surrounded by plenty of girls eager to attach themselves to him and ascend the social hierarchy.
While he never engaged in serious relationships with these girls, the realization that his own sister behaved the same way made him uncomfortable.
Benjamin cast a glance at the pair, his expression inscrutable as he remarked, “Whether or not she’s involved as a sugar baby, she’s undoubtedly acquainted with Mr. Zeller. For the sake of the company,

sister. How can you do that to her?” Luna couldn’t bear to be too harsh.
“Mom, it’s likely because of her that Quigley Group is targeting us right now. And she hasn’t bothered to donate blood at the hospital lately, has she? She
To him, the company and Melanie were paramount, but a sister who seemingly appeared out of nowhere held no significance.
If sacrificing Aurelia could save the company, he wouldn’t hesitate to hand her over to even a pervert.
Luna was momentarily speechless, caught off guard by Benjamin’s callousness.
“You needn’t involve yourself in this matter. When she returns, there’s no need for you to say anything.” Gideon declared decisively upon hearing Benjam

He was in urgent need of money, but Melanie found herself financially strapped as well, barely enough to buy herself a few handbags.
As such, she sent a few perfunctory replies and dismissed him.
She used to think highly of Curtis, mainly because he was Aurelia’s boyfriend. Snatching Aurelia’s boyfriend had once brought her a twisted sense of sat
But with Aurelia no longer interested in Curtis, Melanie’s perception of him shifted. Now, she regarded him as mediocre, perhaps only capable of satisfying her in bed.
However, Curtis fell short of the mark among the many men vying for her affection. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Melanie returned Spencer’s reassurance with a smile. “She’s Dad and Mom’s biological daughter. When she comes back, we’ll talk things out with her. P
“Speaking of which, what’s the deal with you and Mr. Quigley? Didn’t you mention he had feelings for you? Why would he heed his assistant’s advice and target our family if that’s the case?” Spencer inquired, puzzled by the situation.
Melanie looked away guiltily. “I’m not sure myself.”
“Perhaps we misjudged the situation. It seems Mr. Quigley isn’t fond of Mel,” Luna admitted, reflecting on her earlier assumptions. She had naively believed that Melanie’s charm would be enough to capture Matthew’s affection, failing to recognize the multitude of excep
Melanie felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her.
“How could we have made a mistake? I was convinced Mr. Quigley and Mel were already dating.” Spencer’s disappointment was palpable.
“Enough of this,” Gideon interjected, annoyed.
Earlier, Melanie had confidently shared with a few friends her plans to marry Matthew in the future. However, her confidence shattered when one of her f
It depicted Matthew and Angela at Jeremy’s engagement banquet.
The Leedon family hadn’t been invited to Jeremy’s engagement party due to their lower social status, preventing them from mingling with Matthew and Jeremy’s social circle.
The realization left Melanie utterly mortified.
“Aurelia’s heartless! It’s already six o’clock, and she’s still nowhere to be seen,” Spencer grumbled.
The atmosphere in the bedroom was tense and somber.
Meanwhile, downstairs. Aurélia returned to the Leedon residence after over a month since she moved out. It all felt surreal, like stepping into a dream.

The housekeeper, who shared a good relationship with Aurelia, greeted her with a lowered voice, offering advice. “Ms. Aurelia, Mr. and Mrs. Leedon are
The Leedon family’s housekeepers liked Aurelia better than Melanie.
This was because Aurelia never carried an air of superiority but always treated them with genuine respect.
Aurelia simply stated, “I’ll go upstairs and check.”
As she ascended the staircase, she discreetly activated the voice recorder nestled in her bag.
Upon reaching Luna’s bedroom door, she heard Spencer’s voice. “She doesn’t even see us as family. If she does, she would have shown some concer
Aurelia couldn’t help but scoff inwardly.
In her previous life, when she had pushed Luna out of harm’s way and suffered from high–level amputation, none of them had bothered to visit her.
They’d even go as far as to comment on how she stank, quickly recoiling upon reaching the threshold of her room.
“Did any of you ever consider me part of your family?” Aurelia stood firm at the doorway, refusing to step inside.
Her words dripped with a chilling mockery, causing the Leedons to startle.
All eyes turned toward her, their gazes piercing.
“Well, well. Look who decided to grace us with their presence,” Spencer remarked sarcastically.
“Weren’t you all the ones desperately reaching out to my mom, trying everything to lure me back? If you hadn’t involved my mom, do you really think I’d
Luna’s heart constricted as she gazed at Aurelia, her expression a mix of confusion and disbelief. The person Aurelia referred to as “Mom” wasn’t her.
Why does she harbor such deep animosity toward us?
“Please don’t say that. You’re breaking Mom and Dad’s hearts,” Melanie said gently.
Comparing Melanie to Aurelia, Spencer found the latter’s behavior particularly irksome. “You keep calling someone else “Mom. Don’t forget who your rea

Aurelia’s lips curved into a sneer. “Indeed, they can’t be compared at all. Just in terms of shamelessness alone, my mother wouldn’t dare compete since she’s so gentle and considerate.”
