Chapter 241
The next day, Aurelia arrived at the office to find the atmosphere strange.
If she didn’t need Zachary’s sign for certain procedures, she wouldn’t even want to drop by the office,
After all that had happened the night before, everyone had labeled Millie as a foolish gold digger.
Millie, on the other hand, acted like nothing happened. She dressed in brand–named clothing and even said that it was bought by Jackson as compensation.
Everyone felt struck.
Compensation? How shameless did she have to be to say such things?
Aurelia went to Zachary’s office for his signature. He glanced at her with a pointed look but didn’t say anything.
He swiftly signed and sent her on her way.
Aurelia returned to her seat and opened her laptop to handle other work, intending to go to the event
venue in the afternoon.
She was quite close with the workers and they could often work efficiently whenever it was an event
hosted by her. Hence, she wasn’t worried at all.
As she walked past Kimberly’s seat, she could sense a pair of malicious eyes on her.
Speaking of which, Kimberly wasn’t present when Jackson was beaten up.
She sure was great at evading responsibility.
Apart from Jackson, Kimberly was the most enthusiastic in getting others to drink, so she definitely
had a role to play in Jackson’s scheme.
Clearly, she knew something was about to happen when Leslie ran outside, so she didn’t bother showing up at all.
Ignoring Kimberly, Aurelia went straight back to her seat and opened her laptop:
While everyone was focused on their work, the quiet space was interrupted by the sound of someone rubbing their hands, followed by the noise of something falling.
Out of curiosity, everyone turned their heads simultaneously and noticed Millie applying hand cream.
Suddenly, she stood up and started searching for something.
“Oh, my diamond ring! Help me find it.”
Everyone exchanged glances.
In the past, they would all start asking questions, but today, no one moved.

Millie paused when she realized no one was helping. She then picked up the diamond ring from the floor and put it back on her finger.
She gestured toward her colleagues. “Doesn’t it look nice? It was a gift from Jackson. He’s proposing to me.”
Her colleagues nodded with a disdainful expression.
How could Jackson still propose to Millie after what he had done to Aurelia? Was the Morrison family incapable of finding a suitable match?
Seeing that her colleagues weren’t cooperating, the smile on Millie’s face stiffened.
On the other hand, Kimberly stood up and walked over to lift Millie’s hand.
“Harry Winston. This must be around twenty–eight thousand, right?”
“Yeah.” Millie nodded, pleased that someone joined the conversation. “Jackson said he had a bit too much to drink yesterday.
“Actually, he only has me in his heart, so he bought this diamond ring to propose to me. It was a bit hasty, so he could only get one this small.”
“That’s still considered small? Look at Aurelia. She got married without even having a ring. You’ve got a whole carat right away. I envy you.
Kimberly smoothly shifted the topic to Aurelia.
Aurelia stopped typing and looked at Kimberly in confusion.
“My husband is an ordinary person, so he can’t afford such an expensive diamond ring. That’s normal. Your fiancé is the company’s CEO, right? Why are you wearing such a plain ring?”
As everyone’s gaze turned to Kimberly’s hand, they were all surprised to notice that she wasn’t even wearing an engagement ring.
It couldn’t help but make people wonder if there were any problems with her upcoming marriage.
Kimberly quickly hid her hands behind her back.
