Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 116 Whenever anything was off, she would try to tolerate and compromise.  She never thought she would be taken advantage of because of it.  Well, perhaps she was just too foolish, or she wouldn’t have been deceived for so long.  If her mother hadn’t fallen ill, she might have been fooled into marrying Set without realizing  Fortunately, she cut her losses in time. Otherwise, no one would sympathize with her.  She even felt somewhat fortunate to have married Leslie. Despite his cold nature, he would respond to anything.  Thinking about Leslie, Aurelia involuntarily let down her hair and tidied it up. She then took out a sample of makeup from her bag and touched up.  She wondered how Leslie would evaluate her appearance. Would he be as critical as Seth?  Aurelia was momentarily puzzled.  Why should she care about what Leslie thinks?  With a sense of unease, she pushed open the door and stepped out of the dressing room.  As she lifted her head, she met Leslie’s complicated gaze.  She felt a bit disappointed.  “Do I not look good? I’ll change then.”  “Aurelia, just wear this. It looks fine.”  After speaking, Leslie immediately lowered his head to choose something else.  He tried acting casual, but his gaze remained fixed on Aurelia.  The long dress accentuated Aurelia’s fair skin, and as her hair fell gently when she bowed, it added a touch of charm.  He can’t help but regret making her wear something so beautiful.  He was startled by his own thoughts.  He comforted himself by thinking that he simply couldn’t stand Aurelia’s usual style. It was too unsightly.  Soon, Leslie regained his composure and picked a few more items, handing them to the staff. ” Pack these up for her.”  Upon hearing this, Aurelia hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.  “Mr. Synder, I don’t need these many clothes. I already have my own.” […]

Chapter 115 Leslie handed the beige dress back to Aurelia and cleared his throat. “Go try it on.” “Alright.” Aurelia could already sense the curious stares from the staff members. She felt incredibly embarrassed. She took the dress and tiptoed into a fitting room. Just then, a staff member approached and knocked on the door.

Chapter 114 When women walked past them, they all looked at Aurelia with a hint of disdain, as if she was not worthy of standing beside Leslie. Indeed, she was wearing a coffee-stained outfit, barefoot, and looked rather disheveled. In fact her disheveledness made Leslie look even more distinguished. They looked rather peculiar together. Aurelia

hapter 113  1/2  A calming voice echoed behind Aurelia, and she turned around to find Leslie standing there.  “Mr. Synder? What are you doing here?”  “Waiting for you.” Leslie studied at her pale face and felt a tightness in his chest.  He deliberately avoided Zachary and Kimberly as they descended the stairs, timing his appearance to coincide with Aurelia’s arrival. However, he was a step too late.  He couldn’t stop Kimberly from pouring coffee on Aurelia.  Leslie had thought Aurelia would give up. To his surprise, she swiftly composed herself and walked towards the elevator.  Even Leslie was momentarily stunned. The woman before him was delicate yet resilient, forever unyielding.  After hearing Leslie’s words, Aurelia wondered if she had misheard him.  Leslie was waiting for her?  “What are you looking at? Don’t you know how to fight back when someone bullies you?”  Aurelia could sense a hint of concern in Leslie’s voice. She didn’t dare think too much of it and simply pursed her lips.  Leslie continued with annoyance, “Where is that fierce spirit of yours when you threw those punches at people?”  Aurelia retorted impulsively, “We can’t brawl outside your company, can we? What if someone finds out about our relationship? They might think your wife is a terrifying woman, and then you …”  She quickly covered her mouth.  What was she saying? Why did she bring this up?  Aurelia bowed her head and felt Leslie’s gaze on her.  His eyes were not as cold as usual. In fact, it’s quite hard to read.  Leslie cleared his throat. “Our company knows that Ms. Simmons from Young Advertising can throw a punch that makes a man’s nose bleed.”  Aurelia’s face turned red, and her ears buzzed.  How embarrassing!  The tension caused by Kimberly earlier now transformed into a somewhat ambiguous romantic atmosphere between her and Leslie. Leslie glanced at the blush on her face and smiled, before changing the subject. “Did you go to reconcile with Seth with the police?”  Aurelia hesitated before responding, “Oh, sorry, I’ve been busy with the proposal presentation lately. I forgot to tell you.”  Chapter 113  Leslie’s furrowed brow relaxed. Aurella hadn’t taken Seth’s matter seriously from the beginning.  “Why didn’t you tell me that his mother was causing a scene in your mother’s hospital room?”  “You knew about that too?” Aurelia was surprised and impressed.  She continued, “I tried to reach  out to you that day, but you didn’t respond. I thought you  were asleep, so I went to the hospital on my own.” Leslie recalled that night and realized he must have misunderstood the situation.  Instantly, he felt a little guilty.  He wasn’t someone driven by ego. He was wrong to misunderstand Aurelia, there was no need for excuses.  “Sorry, I didn’t hear you.”  “It’s okay.”  Aurelia was somewhat shocked by Leslie’s apology. But at the same time, it’s not too surprising.  Beneath his cold exterior, Leslie was never a self–centered person.  On the contrary, he was mature, reserved, and responsible.  “Let’s go.” He pointed at the door. “Let’s get you changed.”  “But the presentation is about to start, right?” Aurelia glanced at the time worriedly.  “It won’t. The boss is busy and it will take a while.”  “Mom told me that you have been stalling for me. Thank you, but won’t you get into trouble for leaving your workstation?” she asked. 

Chapter 112 “Aurelia!? What are you doing here?” Hearing her voice, Aurelia turned and saw Kimberly getting up from the couch with a shocked expression.  Aurelia was also slightly surprised and couldn’t help but lower her head to check the time.  It was already ten o’clock.  It had been more than two hours since Kimberly and Zachary left the company.  Considering the travel time, they should have presented the proposal long ago.  Why was Kimberly still sitting in the lobby?  Lost in thought, Aurelia wondered.  Could Leslie really be risking everything to help her delay the time?  In that case, where was Zachary?  Just as Aurelia was scanning for Zachary, Kimberly walked over with a cold sneer and a coffee in hand.  cup of  “Don’t bother looking. Mr. Zeller was invited upstairs by One Technology ten minutes ago. think they are currently preparing for the presentation, and I am the presenter for today.” I  As she spoke, Kimberly flaunted her carefully chosen outfit of brand–named products.  Regardless of the content of the presentation, the overall cost of her ensemble alone already scored her extra points.  But since when did the workplace allow anyone to recklessly snatch opportunities from others just because they had money?  Aurelia clenched her fists and asked, “You knew about this all along?”  Kimberly feigned innocence. “Knew what? Don’t just start pointing fingers. I only knew that your skills couldn’t match up, so Mr. Zeller ultimately chose my proposal. Aurelia, I advise you not to mess things up. Consider your future. Our industry is well connected. Once you create a scene, would anyone want to hire you in the future?”  Kimberly smiled and continued, “I know your mom is still in surgery. Be a good girl and hurry back to the hospital. This isn’t the place for you, understand?”  Aurelia glared at her. She was so infuriated that she wanted to march up and slap Kimberly.  Still, she knew she couldn’t do that, or she’d fall into Kimberly’s trap.  Suppressing her anger, she said, “Kimberly, you can’t get used to something that’s not yours. Just like the shoes you’re wearing. You’d rather wear shoes smaller than your feet. You will just end up suffering.” 

Chapter 111 In the hospital, Aurelia sat dazed outside the operating room. Suddenly, a gentle voice reached her. “Aurelia.elia’s “Mom…” Aurelia’s voice hoarsely called out as she felt like a beam of light had shone upon her. Linda held her tight and scolded her, but Aurelia felt a sense of relief. It turned out that

Chapter 110 Aurelia’s only experience with love was with a scumbag like Seth. It was no wonder that she was just a fool in love despite her outstanding performance at work. As Leslie stared intently at Aurelia’s report, Daniel realized that it was no coincidence that Leslie had helped Aurelia at the hotel. Even instructing

Chapter 109 Aurelia was quick to snap out of her shock. She immediately called Zachary, but there was no answer. 1/2 She tried calling Kimberly’s number next, with the same result. It dawned on Aurelia that she might have been blocked. But why? Her mind went blank. Her gaze fell onto the photo of Zachary

hapter 108 In the photo, Millie wore a blue dress with a slender branded belt. A black GUCCI mini bag rested on her shoulder. With her exquisite makeup, she looked exceptionally charming. Colleagues in the group chat estimated that her outfit alone would cost at least seven thousand dollars, nearly seven to eight months’ worth

Chapter 107 Aurelia, unaware of anything, woke up at six in the morning. It was Monday, the day of her mother’s surgery She felt nervous. Because of it, she got distracted when making breakfast, and her shaking hands almost burnt the eggs. It was only half past six after she ate. She didn’t want to
