Aurelia tilted her head and stared at Daniel. “You’ve been to my house? No, to Mr. Synder’s house?”
“Yeah, I went to get him some clothes, no, to get some documents.”
“Documents? Aren’t you the boss’ assistant? Why would you go to his house for documents?”
“Uh… I… you…”
The two of them stared at each other, both stunned by the flaws in their respective explanations.
“Daniel, did you come here to hang out? Hurry up and get back to work,” Leslie shouted.
Daniel seemed to see a lifeline and smiled at Aurelia. “I happened to be nearby, and then I went to get some documents for him. I’m really sorry for causing trouble. It’s truly not his fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me.”
“No, it’s okay.” Aurelia shook her head.
Daniel ran over to Leslie, and the two chatted.
Daniel’s expression looked helpless.
Why did it seem like Daniel was afraid of Leslie?
Regardless, both of them were exceptionally serious when they worked. Aurelia didn’t dwell on it and quickly focused on her own tasks.
Suddenly, Aurelia’s phone rang.
It was Mrs. Parker again.
Worried that something had happened, Aurelia quickly answered the call. “Mrs. Parker…”
“Aurelia, help us…”
“Mrs. Parker, please don’t cry. What happened?” Aurelia grew anxious.
“Millie has gone crazy! She angered her father so much that he has been sent to the emergency room. When I went to pay the fees, I discovered that all the money in the bank card had been moved by her! What should I do?”
Mrs. Parker burst into tears.
“Mrs. Parker, don’t worry. I’ll be right there,” Aurelia comforted.
After hanging up, Leslie seemed to have overheard the phone call and stood in front of her.
The frown on his face indicated that he had heard the content of the call.
“Mr. Synder, I…”

“Let’s go.
I’ll take you. It’s not easy to get a cab here,” Leslie said as he turned toward the ext
Aurelia quickly followed him.
On the way to the hospital, Aurelia tried calling Millie many times, but each call was rejected. Eventually, she was blocked.
Aurelia sighed, unable to understand why things had turned out this way,
“Once she’s gotten something without putting in much effort, it’s hard to make her give up on it *
Aurelia sighed. “Her mom said that she has an online loan of about 140 thousand dollars and that she has used all her family’s savings as well.”
Leslie took advantage of the red light to look at her. “What do you plan to do?”
“Huh? What do you mean?” she asked in confusion.
“She’s from around here, right? They should have other relatives around, but her mother didn’t reach out to any of them. Why is she reaching out to you now?” he pointed out.
“I-I don’t know.”
Aurelia couldn’t understand why Mille’s mother had sought her help instead of her relatives” help.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Leslie got out of the car and said, “Don’t agree to help with anything too soon and observe first.”
“Alright.”
She nodded and followed Leslie to the emergency room.
The two spotted Millie’s mother there. Her eyes were swollen from crying and her voice was hoarse.
“Aurelia, you’re finally here.”
“How’s Mr. Parker?” Aurelia asked worriedly.
