Chapter 172 Her Boy Toy
Has Aurelia reached a point where she didn’t even dare to answer my calls? As if that wasn’t bad enough, she has her boy toy answer the phone for her? The guy’s voice didn’t quite sound like that of a typical boy toy, though. Judging from his voice, it was intimidating enough. My heart even trembled slightly when I heard his questioning tone.
“Well? What are you going to do to Aurelia?” The coldness in Matthew’s voice became even more pronounced.
Spencer frowned. This boy toy sure is something. He has a knack for intimidating others and a certain charm that appeals to women. With that in mind, he said arrogantly, “I have a hundred ways to make her beg us in the end. I advise you to leave her now before she runs out of money to support you. Isn’t money what you guys are after in this line of work? You should hurry up and leave now. Hand her the phone and let her talk to me.”
For a boy toy who relies on women for a living, he sure has some nerve!
“Which brother of hers are you?” Matthew asked,
Seizing that opportunity to vent his feelings, Spencer exclaimed, “I’m her third brother! She was always the most afraid of me at home, and she had to listen to me the most. When she was at home, she would do all sorts of things to please me. But no matter what she did, I was never satisfied with her!”
Our household is in total chaos at the moment, so why is Aurelia not only supporting a boy toy, but also living such a nice life? She doesn’t deserve this luxury!
Previously, Aurelia’s life revolved around their family, but now that they were facing difficulties, she seemed to keep her distance from them.
Initially, Spencer had assumed that the boy toy would hand the phone over to Aurelia. Unexpectedly, he ended the call directly.
After trying again, the call just wouldn’t go through.
At the entrance of the hospital ward, Matthew made a call to Gordon and said, “Find out who is Aurelia’s third brother in the Leedon family.”
In just a few minutes, Gordon returned the call.
“I’ve got it all sorted out. Ms. Shaw’s third brother is Spencer Leedon, a celebrity. He’s doing quite well in the entertainment industry, but his acting skills are rather average. He’s nowhere near as talented as Charlie from the Shaw family,” Gordon said, reporting the information meticulously.
Just as Matthew was about to reach for a cigarette, he suddenly remembered he was in a hospital and dismissed the idea.
He then said in a cold voice, “Make sure he can’t survive in the entertainment industry.”
“All right; I’ll make the arrangements right away!” Gordon got a little nervous.

Has Spencer done something to upset Boss? After all, Boss would never have issued such an order otherwise. Spencer really did this to himself!
“Also, look into what has happened to the Leedon family recently.”
“Understood!”
Minutes later, Gordon found the information and called back. “Gideon’s wife was involved in a car accident, which resulted in the amputation of both her legs.”
The Leedon family’s business is on the brink of collapse, and with this recent incident, things are looking even more dire. If word gets out that Aurelia has married Boss, who knows what kind of chaos might ensue in the future? Well, others might be scared about that, Boss certainly isn’t. Something is clearly wrong with the Leedon family!
With a quirk of his brow, Matthew leaned against the door, his gaze falling on Aurelia in the hospital ward.
She should have known about this matter, but she never uttered a word to him about it, nor did she ever tell him how the Leedon family treated her. If it hadn’t been for that phone call earlier, he would never have been able to imagine what she had endured in the Leedon family.
Phyllis was in the midst of her night shift at the hotel when she received a call from Melanie.
Her feelings toward her daughter were quite complex.
“Mom, I was wrong. I spoke impulsively and I’ve regretted it ever since I left home. I shouldn’t have said what I did,” Melanie admitted right away.
Her attitude was commendable.
However, Phyllis had already lost much of her faith in Melanie.
“Realizing your mistakes is a good thing. Some things can’t be rushed, though. Time will reveal at person’s true character,” Phyllis replied in a nonchalant tone.
One could always count on time to reveal the true nature of a person.
After listening to Phyllis‘ words, Melanie rolled her eyes in annoyance. The idea of time revealing a person’s true colors was utter nonsense to her.
“Mom, something terrible has happened to our family! I’m really scared and I feel so lost! I don’t know who to turn to! I really don’t know what to do!”
The sound of Melanie’s crying carried an air of helplessness that tugged at one’s heartstrings.
Phyllis let out a sigh, then asked, “What happened?”
Given the way the Leedon family handled things, it was no surprise that problems arose easily. It
was all too common.

have both her legs amputated and will be confined to her bed from now on.”
Upon hearing this, Phyllis was taken aback. “Is the car accident that severe?”
“Yes. She’s been inconsolable since she woke up from the surgery. We’re all heartbroken. My sister went to the hospital the day of the car accident, but then she left afterward. My mom really wants to see her, but we haven’t been able to get in touch with her. Mom, could you please help us reach out to her and get her to the hospital?” Melanie said, revealing her true intention.
None of them could reach Aurelia, but she believed Phyllis definitely could.
Melanie had it all figured out and knew she needed to start with Phyllis. Only by getting Phyllis on her side could Melanie persuade her to lend a hand. Ultimately, it was to make Aurelia delete the video and to prevent Aurelia from threatening her any further.
Phyllis furrowed her brow and said, “Auri has been busy these past few days. Besides, this matter concerns her directly, so I’m not in a position to relay messages for you. It would be best if you reach out to her yourselves.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Auri is a really kind soul. If her heart hadn’t been thoroughly broken, if something unknown to them hadn’t occurred, how could she possibly have distanced herself from the Leedon family. I can’t just stand by while the Leedon family bullies Auri!
Although Phyllis wasn’t very knowledgeable, she was still wise enough to know right from wrong.
Melanie had never imagined that Phyllis would reject her so directly.
She didn’t even bother to be a little more courteous about it.
Annoyed, she gritted her teeth and said, “Aurelia is not answering our calls, though. She’s completely cut us off!”
“If she has chosen to cut you all off, it’s clear that you must have done something to hurt her, forcing her to distance herself from you. The Leedon family has several children, including you, all of whom are by Mrs. Leedon’s side, so she probably doesn’t need Auri anyway. If she truly valued Auri, she wouldn’t have allowed her to move out.” Phyllis had a thorough understanding of the situation, so she could see what was going on very clearly.
Melanie’s feelings of discomfort intensified after hearing that. “We need her, Mom. I hope she can come and help us take care of my mother. Right now, my mother cannot be left alone for even a single hour in a day.”
Having picked up on the implications in Melanie’s words, Phyllis asked, “You could all take shifts and hire a caregiver. There’s absolutely no need to involve Auri at all. Plus, Auri just started working not long ago, and her career is steadily progressing, so she doesn’t have time to stay at the hospital. Are you just trying to avoid having to take care of your mother? Is that why you want Auri to go back?”
The members of the Leedon family sure are selfish! If Mel didn’t have an ulterior motive, she wouldn’t have called her. And if she truly realized her mistake, she wouldn’t have waited until tod
to apologize!

Upon hearing Phyllis‘ blunt words, Melanie felt a surge of anger, making her want to hurl abuse out loud. She took a deep breath to calm herself down before saying, “Mom, you’ve misunderstood. We didn’t want her to come over to take care of things, but merely to keep my mother company. After all, having family around during this time is crucial for my mother’s post–operation recovery.”
“I still have a lot of work to do, so it’s pointless for you to come to me with this matter,” Phyllis said. She then promptly hung up the phone before Melanie could say anything further.
