Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

The taxi stopped at the parking lot near the police station. As Aurelia got out of the car, she noticed Leslie was staring at his phone.

She then recalled that he was supposed to be at his office. After signing such a big contract, everyone at the office must be desperate to celebrate with him.

Yet, he had been running around with her.

“Mr. Synder, you haven’t finished your work, have you? Why don’t you get back to work? I can go home by myself,” Aurelia said. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“I’ll send you home first,” insisted Leslie.

Aurelia thought about it and relented. “Alright.”

She glanced at her heels, feeling exhausted from walking around all day.

Upon arriving home, Aurelia went straight for her room but Leslie stopped her. “Aurelia.”

“What’s wrong? I am going in the right direction,” she said.

“Your suitcase.” Leslie pointed at the suitcase in the dining room.

She blushed and glanced at the torn divorce agreement, not daring to meet his eyes.

As she grabbed the suitcase, Leslie walked over to stand in her path.

“So, are you not divorcing me?” Leslie asked.

“Huh? If you want to, we can still…” She could sense his piercing glare and instantly changed her mind. “Let’s… not. I’m confident that I can win. Besides, Ms. Linda would be sad if we get a divorce now.”

“Fine,” Leslie said.

Aurelia fell into silence as she wondered about what kind of tone Leslie was using with

her. She looked at Leslie and could only smile.

“You don’t have to wait for me tonight,” he said.

Aurelia nodded and watched Leslie leave.

She dragged her suitcase into the bedroom. As she put her clothes back into the wardrobe, she paused.

Why did Leslie suddenly change his mind about divorce?

She looked at her hand, where the warmth of Leslie’s palm still lingered. Sensing her thoughts wandering, she quickly focused on organizing her clothes.

All the while, her phone on the bed kept vibrating.

Why were people so fond of meddling in others‘ affairs?

Suddenly, her phone rang again.

Was it another nuisance call?

Looking at the number, she hesitated before answering.

“Hi, Aurelia,” a man said.

“You are…

“She hesitated as the voice sounded familiar.

“Leon Synder,” he informed.

“Do you need something from me?” Aurelia asked in confusion.

“I know about your situation. I believe in you,” Leon said.

Aurelia was confused. Leon hadn’t spoken to her with this tone before, so it baffled her as to why he had suddenly become so gentlemanly.

“Aurelia, I can help you,” Leon spoke again.

“You want to help me? How?” Aurelia asked curiously.

“I can pay the compensation for you.” Leon smiled.

“You want to pay 50 million for me?” Aurelia asked incredulously.

“Yes, you don’t have to worry about anything. I just think a woman like you shouldn’t suffer with a man like Leslie. You deserve better.” Leslie’s words dripped with a sense of

superiority.

“What do you mean?” Aurelia asked.

“I think you’re a smart woman. You should understand my proposal. Life is short. Why waste your youth with a programmer? He may be in the news today, but he could be worthless tomorrow. He provides no sense of security at all,” Leon said.

“So?” Aurelia didn’t understand what Leon was trying to imply.

Leon offered, “So… I hope you’ll be mine. I heard you’ve been fired from the company. So far, there’s no company in Seacester willing to hire you. Synder Corporation can take you in, though. Aurelia, I hope you’ll consider it. After all, it’s 50 million.”
