The assistant double–checked. “Mr. Leedon, the card number is correct. There truly are no transaction records.”

After ending the call, Gideon looked at his wife, eldest son, and adopted daughter, momentarily at a loss for words.
“Maybe it’s because Aurelia usually spends her boyfriend’s money?” A thought flashed through Melanie’s mind and she thought of Curtis.
“Her boyfriend, that little office worker?” Luna’s tone was full of disdain.
Melanie kept her head down, afraid that Luna would discover her secret relationship with Curtis. She nodded slightly. “Yes, I’ve heard from my sister that her boyfriend spends all his money on her. I happen to have his phone number, so I’ll cal
“Before she was even married, she spent a man’s money, and that’s not all. She even went to live with him. She’s completely tarnished the Leedon family’s reputation. She has no self–respect!” Aaron didn’t hide his disdain for Aurelia at all.
Melanie dialed Curtis‘ number. “Mr. Fletcher, may I ask, when you were seeing my sister, was she always spending your money?”
Curtis was somewhat baffled, but he still played along with Melanie. “Hmm… Yes, I’m usually the one who spends money. Is there a problem with that?”
“Didn’t
my older sister promise to repay you?”
“There was no distinction between us. Just a few days ago, I transferred a bonus of one hundred thousand that the company had just giyen me to her, cl
Melanie was very pleased with Curtis‘ performance. She had her phone’s speaker volume turned up to the maximum so that her father and the others could hear it. “Is she living with
you now?”
Curtis fell silent for a few seconds. He had been searching for Aurelia everywhere, asking many mutual acquaintances, but no one seemed to know whe
He guessed correctly that when Melanie made the call, it was definitely on speakerphone, with her father and others present nearby.
At that opportune moment, he understood very well what Melanie wanted to hear.
Between Melanie and Aurelia, he would naturally choose Melanie. After all, Melanie was more favored by the Leedon family.
After Melanie hung up the phone, she looked contentedly at the three people in front of her, their faces simultaneously cold and dark. “Aurelia kept asking her boyfriend for money, and I

have no idea what she needed it for. It was truly worrisome.”
“Shameless!” Overwhelmed with rage, Gideon flung the water cup from the table across the
room.
After ending the call, Aurelia changed her direction and entered the underground parking lot of at shopping mall.
There was some traffic, and she happened to go to the supermarket in the mall to buy a few things.

After selecting a photo, she directly informed Gordon: The jade pendant in the fourth picture is good.
Just as she entered the supermarket, Matthew gave her a call. “Where are you?”
“The supermarket at Merryborne Mall,” answered Aurelia.
“Wait for me.”
After ending the call, Aurelia was somewhat bewildered. Wait for him? Is he nearby?
In hindsight, it occurred to her that right across from Merryborne Mall stood the towering edifice of Quigley Group, a landmark building in the city of Jacaster.
While waiting for Matthew, Aurelia had already bought quite a few bags of chips and a pile of snacks from the snack section.
In her previous life, ever since the car accident, she never had the chance to eat those things again. Before the accident, she was reluctant to spend money on such junk food.
At that moment, she didn’t just want to eat. She also wanted to prepare some in the car to take home for Herbert. She and her brother enjoyed eating those snacks while catching up on their favorite shows.
Matthew had hardly ever visited a supermarket.
Moreover, at that time, the supermarket was filled with people who had come to browse after work, and he felt somewhat out of place amidst them.
Therefore, by the time he found Aurelia in the supermarket, his handsome face seemed to have formed a thick layer of ice, the kind of coldness that could freeze a person
He was already cold–hearted, but he had become even colder.
Aurelia was so engrossed in buying snacks that it was only when she put down a bag of snag looked up that she noticed Matthew.

Matthew’s gaze was icy and deep. “Have you bought your things?”

“I’m still buying. Is there something you’d like to eat? These chips are a new flavor. Would you like to try some?” Aurelia asked, merely as a courtesy.
Without even sparing a glance, Matthew spoke in a cool, detached tone, “I never eat such junk food.”
“This is a potato chip produced by the food company under your Quigley Group, isn’t it? Do you usually enjoy self– deprecating humor, Mr. Quigley?” Although Aurelia was good– natured, it didn’t mean she had to endure undeserved misfortune.

However, that thought had barely surfaced before it was extinguished.
Aurelia was not only cunning, but also adept at disguising herself.
“All right,” Aurelia agreed. She had no reason to refuse Mabel’s
request.
“Your clothes won’t do.” Matthew’s indifferent gaze revealed a hint of criticism.
He glanced at his wristwatch, “The auction is at seven tonight. It’s not even five yet. We still have time to prepare. I’ll have my assistant, Gordon, take yo

Matthew stood still, his icy gaze sweeping over the potato chips on the shelf. The products under my corporation?
Originally, Gordon was supposed to drive to pick up Aurelia. However, when Aurelia mentioned that she had driven herself, he went straight over.
Upon reaching the exit of the shopping mall’s parking lot, they went into Aurelia’s new energy- efficient compact car.
