Watching Aurelia resolutely depart, the faces of the Leedon family members turned livid with
anger.
Aurelia was truly heartless!
Of everyone in the family, she was the least occupied and contributed the least on a regular basis. Now that the family needed her, she left without a moment’s hesitation.
“Dad, what should we do now?” Spencer asked.
The sudden incident had left everyone at a loss.
Gideon was in a state of confusion at the moment. “Let’s all go home and wait for the doctor’s call,” he suggested. “Once your mother wakes up, we can all come back together.”
“All right.” The children responded in unison.
At that time, the hospital was eerily quiet and deserted.
The family could only leave first.
After leaving the hospital, Aurelia went straight back to Starry Sea Mansion.
As the car set off, she was engrossed in observing the vehicles by the roadside, oblivious to the fact that a car was closely tailing her.
After about twenty minutes, Aurelia noticed the car that had been tailing her.
And upon seeing the license plate, her face turned cold.
What was Benjamin planning to do?
Following behind, Benjamin found it somewhat unbelievable when he saw Aurelia’s car heading toward the direction of the luxurious villa district.
Could it be that Aurelia was living on that side?
Even at the peak of their family business, they couldn’t afford to buy a villa there.
The upper echelons of Jacaster’s social scene were not something their family could penetrate.
Wasn’t it said that Aurelia’s new boyfriend was just an ordinary guy?
It was improbable, wasn’t it? Even if they were living together, they couldn’t possibly reside there, right?
“No matter what secrets you’re hiding, I need to uncover them!” Benjamin said, his voice cold as he narrowed his eyes.

He trusted his intuition, certain that the secret Aurelia was hiding could help them alter their current situation.
Aurelia withdrew her gaze from the rearview mirror, thinking to herself, Benjamin was truly a despicable character!
He was following her to find out where she lived.
Even with his own mother involved in a car accident, Benjamin still had the audacity to behave in such a manner. Truly, he was the perfect son, raised meticulously by Gideon and Luna,
She turned the steering wheel, taking a turn onto a side road of an upscale residential area.
When Benjamin spotted Aurelia heading into a nearby neighborhood, he halted the car.
She lives here?
He was familiar with this neighborhood. It was a place where various societal elites resided.
The residential area was quite upscale.
However, it was on a different level compared to Starry Sea Mansion.
Could it be that he truly overestimated Aurelia?
Pulling out a cigarette, Benjamin cracked open the car window. His mind felt as if it was shrouded in a layer of fog as he thought about Aurelia’s distance from their family. This thought deeply unsettled him.
Why had Aurelia suddenly fallen out of their favor?
Hadn’t she always been trying to fit in with them before?
Could it be… He stared at the neighborhood ahead, could it be related to the new boyfriend she was dating?
Suddenly, his gaze settled on a man and woman kissing under the lamplight not far away.
The woman had a stunning figure, held tightly in the man’s embrace. Just looking at them was enough to stir up one’s desires.
However, he didn’t take such matters to heart.
His
gaze
didn’t linger on the woman for long. Instead, he found himself fixated on the man.
The moment the man let go of the woman, he caught sight of the other man’s face.
Isn’t that Justin? And that woman…
It didn’t seem like she was Justin’s wife. Justin’s wife had been in the news before, and she was definitely not this woman whose figure surpassed even that of a supermodel.

It seemed that all men, including Justin, had a penchant for keeping women on the side.
The following morning, after having breakfast, Aurelia hurried off to the airport.
On the way to the airport, Aurelia told Mabel that she was going to meet up with Matthew for a trip. After hearing this, Mabel was very supportive and even gave her a monetary gift.
Out of courtesy, Aurelia didn’t have the heart to refuse the monetary gift and accepted it directly
She planned to purchase some jewelry later to gift to Mabel.
While waiting at the airport, Matthew called.
“Are you at the airport yet?
“Yep, I’m already waiting at the gate. The flight will board in thirty minutes.”
“All right, I have some matters to attend to today and couldn’t make it to the airport. Gordon will take you to the hotel first.”
No sooner had Matthew finished speaking, than Aurelia faintly heard the voice of a woman, gently calling out Matthew’s name.
She didn’t call out his full name.
It was Matt.
Aurelia’s gaze shifted slightly. After acknowledging with a quiet okay, she ended the call.
The ease with which she affectionally called him “Matt” suggested that their relationship was far from simple.
Are they friends?
After a moment of surprise, Aurelia collected her thoughts.
Regardless of who was by his side, there was no need for her to delve into it.
The hours on the plane passed by quickly.
For as long as the plane was in flight, that was how long Aurelia had been asleep.
Had it not been for the noise when the plane landed, she might have continued sleeping.
She disembarked the plane wearily.
When she stepped out with her luggage, she immediately caught sight of Gordon.
Gordon, dressed in a casual tank top and oversized shorts, appeared quite different from his usual urban chte demeanor.

boss said if you’re tired, you should head straight to the hotel. If you’re hungry, I can take you to get something to eat.” Gordon was completely at
ease.
Though the claim was that he was accompanying Matthew on a business trip, in reality, he was here simply for a vacation.
It was as comfortable as one could possibly be.
When she stepped out of the airport, a warm breeze greeted her, causing her to relax significantly.
“Let’s go have a meal,” she suggested.
Having slept throughout the flight and not having eaten anything, she was honestly feeling quite hungry now.
“Sure, let’s go right now. I’m quite familiar with this place, I visit almost every year. Ms. Shaw, would you like to try the local specialty?” Gordon asked.
“Sure thing” Aurelia was filled with anticipation.
Since she had arrived, she decided to taste the local delicacies.
Gordon glanced at Aurelia through the rearview mirror.
Since the moment he had picked her up, Aurelia hadn’t asked about Matthew at all.
Didn’t she want to know what his boss was up to?
Aurelia admired the scenery along the road through the car window.
Kenfort was a coastal town, with strikingly beautiful seawater.
Tourism thrived all year round.
Observing the multitude of girls outside donning various styles of sun dresses, Aurelia too, felt a sense of anticipation within her. She too, had packed several sun dresses.
After careful observation, Gordon could definitely confirm that Aurelia was indeed here for a vacation.
As he was booking the flight tickets, he couldn’t help but think about how the relationship between Aurelia and Matthew had grown closer than before. They were in their honeymoon phase, which explained why Aurelia had pursued him.
He didn’t believe at all that it was just a vacation trip.
“Boss will probably meet with you tomorrow, Ms. Shaw,” said Gordon.
Aurelia nodded with a smile. “All right.”

actually concerned about Matthew, or did she not care about him at all?
Not long after they had settled down at a restaurant, while they were waiting for their food, Matthew made a phone call to Gordon.
Gordon reported the address to Matthew.
After hanging up the phone, he told Aurelia. “Boss will be here in about thirty minutes.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Aurelia was somewhat taken aback. “Didn’t he have something important to do? Wasn’t he supposed to be busy today?”
