If that was really the case, then Aurelia truly exemplified the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” She would be incredibly good at hiding her true se
“It’s still uncertain at this point.” Matthew didn’t want to blame Aurelia unjustly.
“Rest assured, Mr. Quigley, I’m going to check it out right now!” assured Gordon.
“All right.”
Aurelia had been busy since nine in the morning until lunch break when David ordered takeout.
It was pasta with salad..
In the shop, apart from David, there was usually one other shop assistant.
The boy, who had just turned eighteen, was named Chad. He claimed to dislike studying and, upon graduating from high school, came directly to David’s
David paid him a monthly salary of three thousand and five hundred, which covered meals but not accommodation. There were also bonuses for perfect attendance and commissions.
At a young age, he enjoyed live streaming. Handsome and eloquent, he often promoted products during his broadcasts, gaining considerable popularity.
Yesterday, a large item was sold, earning him a commission of a full fifty thousand.
It must be said that the live streaming industry was truly in its golden age.
“Aurelia, I’d like to treat you to barbecue tonight!” Chad proposed, all the while devouring his meal as he made plans with Aurelia.
Before Aurelia could refuse, David glanced over dismissively. Being of an older age, he couldn’t stand the frivolity of those young men. “She spent the en streaming. Ideally, you should sell all the new stock that had arrived in the past two days.”
Aurelia gave a faint smile. “I need to go home tonight to accompany my elders. They’re ill and require someone to be with them.”
Chad felt a bit disappointed. “All right then.”

Whenever she saw Chad, she would be reminded of her younger brother Herbert, as they were of similar age.
Given the chance in the future, she could introduce the two of them to each other.
“All right then.” Upon hearing that David was also to be invited for the meal, Chad felt a wave of disappointment. He had wanted to ask Aurelia out on a date, just the two of them!
A couple of days ago, he came to work and found a woman restoring antique paintings in the shop. At first, he thought she was an old woman and found turned out to be Aurelia, such a beautiful woman!
His grandfather had always wanted him to settle down and learn about antique restoration, but he lacked the patience for it.
Seeing Aurelia sitting for most of the day, he was truly impressed by her seriousness!
Moreover, she was beautiful, a hundred times more so than any of the surgically enhanced faces he had ever seen.
At that time, David received a phone call. “What a coincidence. I happen to have a painting from the High Middle Ages right here. Yes, it’s a landscape p restored! I just acquired it a couple of days ago. I was just about to send it off for auction. What? Old Mr. Quill

Upon hearing David’s words, Aurelia realized he was referring to the painting she had given him.

David seemed a bit troubled. “It’s not about the money. It’s about the agreement with the a house. I still have two paintings from the High Middle Ages in my possession, which are currently being restored. How about I send them over to Old Mr. Quill for a look once they’re restored?”
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have finally agreed.
After hanging up the phone, David turned to Aurelia with a cheerful smile, “Aurelia, I’m willing to pay you more. Could you possibly come in a bit earlier o
He wanted to seize the opportunity to make a fortune.
“How much more?” Aurelia asked.
Arriving early wasn’t an issue for her. It was previously agreed that she would finish work at three, but a delay of an hour was also not a problem. She ne

He had it all planned out. After those two paintings were finished, he wanted to recommend Aurelia to the auction house.
After a brief consideration, Aurelia agreed.
Chad wanted to say something, but remembering the warning his grandfather had given him, het obediently closed his mouth.
Gideon had just returned to the Leedon residence from a business trip when he heard about Luna’s account of her phone call with Aurelia the day before filled. water glass onto the table. “Fine, she claimed she never used the card I gave her, didn’t she? I’ll have someone check the spending records right n so thoughtless, disobedient, and full of lies, I don’t want to acknowledge her as my daughter anymore!”
Since last night, Luna had been plagued by a persistent headache. “I have no idea where she’s been these past couple of days. It doesn’t seem like she’s been staying with her adoptive mother. If she’s gotten herself into trouble out there, and the people in Jacaster find out she’s our
“I’ll give her a call and ask her to come back and apologize to you two,” Aaron said with a stern face.
He genuinely disliked Aurelia, his own biological sister.
After all, having grown up in the countryside, she didn’t have Melanie’s knack for pleasing her
parents.
“Actually, it’s all my fault. Please, don’t be angry, Dad, Mom, and Aaron,” Melanie said, her head hung low in distress.
Luna was heartbroken. “It’s not your fault. It’s all because of Aurelia!”
Although Aaron had saved Aurelia’s phone number, he had never called Aurelia.
The call was quickly connected.
Before Aurelia could even speak, Aaron immediately assumed the role of the elder brother and admonished, “Aurelia, you need to apologize to Mom and

Several members of the Leedon family heard the word “crazy” coming from the phone. Aaron had put
the call on speaker when he dialed out.
Aaron’s face darkened immediately. “How had her parents raised her before?”
“Look at this! Such lack of manners! It’s infuriating!” Luna held her forehead, suffering from a severe headache.
Both Gideon and his son, Aaron, wore the same expression, their faces dark and gloomy.
Inside the mansion, aside from Melanie, who was secretly taking pleasure in others‘ misfortune, everyone else wore a layer of frost on their faces.
Suddenly, Gideon’s phone rang.
Gideon picked it up.
The person on the other end reported, “Mr. Leedon, we have checked, and there are no expenditure records on your supplementary card.”
“What did you say?” Gideon’s eyes went wide.
The assistant thought there was an issue with the signal from Gideon’s side, so he repeated himself.
Gideon simply couldn’t believe it. “Could it be that the card number is incorrect? How could there be no transaction history?”
Upon hearing that, both Luna and Aaron turned their gaze toward Gideon.
Meanwhile, Melanie was secretly alarmed. She had just forgotten to stop her father from checking the credit card!
