Chapter 226
He was working every day like a normal person.
He had a lunch box packed by his wife at noon and came home to have dinner his wife made.
After that, they would wash the dishes and go grocery shopping.
He felt truly alive.
Even occasionally forget that he returned to the country for revenge.
Glancing at the woman next to him, he smiled.
After finishing their food, he went to the kitchen and washed the dishes.
When he returned, Aurelia was already asleep on the bed.
Sighing, Leslie laid a mattress on the ground.

The next day, Aurelia requested to work out of the office, so she didn’t know what happened until she saw the messages in the group chat after she got off work.
“We are having Japanese food tomorrow. Each person would spend at least a hundred. Mr. Morrison is so generous.”
“This is all thanks to Millie. Thank you, Millie.’

“Don’t worry about it. It’s not a big deal. Jackson doesn’t even care about a car worth hundreds of thousands, so why would he care about a few thousand? He even took me to view new cars and
reserved another one last night.” Millie typed.
“Rich people buy cars like they are grocery shopping. Millie, you are so lucky.”
“Is that car for you? Mr. Jackson said he likes giving luxury cars as gifts, right?”
“Yes.” Millie replied right away.
Aurelia’s mouth twitched.
She didn’t bother to ask any questions and merely glanced at the address for tomorrow’s gathering.
Just then, Kimberly’s message popped up. “I’ll be there with my fiancé tomorrow. I hope I can have everyone’s blessings.”
She then sent a photo of her with her fiancé.
Aurelia pitied the man who was engaged to Kimberly.
Anyone could tell that Kimberly was boasting as she wanted Aurelia to see how capable her man was.

Aurelia set her phone down to check the progress done today when Kimberly tagged her in the group
chat.
“@Aurelia, why aren’t you replying? Where are you now?”
“Haha, am I supposed to tell her where I am so she can sabotage my project again?” Aurelia thought.
She ignored Kimberly’s message, but Kimberly kept texting her and refused to give up until Aurelia replied.
In fact, Aurelia understood Kimberly’s intentions.
She wanted to confront her in front of their colleagues.
While confrontations could be embarrassing for some, Kimberly had always been different.
For Kimberly, only those without capabilities would question her.
Aurelia simply ignored her, eventually blocking the group.
After all, it was already off working hours, and the group was unlikely to discuss work-related
matters.
Kimberly was infuriated.
She thought that Aurelia would be furious after seeing the photo of her and her fiancé and she would have the chance to belittle Aurelia.
To her surprise, Aurelia paid no attention to it.
Kimberly slammed her phone onto the couch when her fiancé entered.
“Welcome back. I was just about to look for you,” she said, leaning over with a smile.
“What’s the matter?” Her fiancé hugged her and sat down.
“It’s still about my troublesome colleague. I don’t like her. If you love me, help me find out where she’s holding her event. Even the supervisor is siding with her now.” Kimberly pouted with displeasure.
The man furrowed his brow and recalled Aurelia’s mocking words.
Kimberly didn’t love him and she was with him for money and fame.
Why else would she involve him in such a humiliating matter?
As Kimberly was shaking his arm, the man said sternly, “Kimberly, your uncle told me you were sensible and said your previous issues were caused by your colleagues who made things difficult for you. That’s why I stood up for you, but there should be a limit to everything we do.
“What would others think of me if they found out that I’m bullying a woman? Have you ever thought about that? How can you be my wife when you are this inconsiderate?”

Hearing this, Kimberly panicked and quickly changed her tune.
“I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously. I won’t look for her anymore.”
Kimberly’s reputation had already been tarnished, and ordinary wealthy people looked down on her.
That’s why her uncle introduced her to an older but wealthy man.
She didn’t want to offend him and had to try her best to please him.
“I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
The man immediately got up and left without hesitation.
Kimberly felt he had become colder toward her.
The fact that her fiancé changed after just meeting Aurelia once made her even more furious.
To her surprise, Jackson arrived shortly after.
Jackson’s face was swollen, and he looked extremely menacing.
“Jackson, what… happened to you?” she exclaimed.
