Chapter 25
Unexpectedly, Florence smiled at Aurella.
“Ms. Simmons, did you hear that? Mr. Zeller said that he would handle the matter, so your name can finally be cleared.”
“Thank you.” Aurelia was not stupid. She understood the underlying meaning and went along to thank Zachary,
Zachary was dumbfounded and stared at Florence in disbelief. Most of their colleagues did as well.
In bewilderment, Kimberly screamed hysterically, “Mrs. Lynch, what are you talking about?”
Florence glared at Kimberly and rubbed her ears. “It’s too noisy. So your voice was this loud. I thought you only knew how to say ‘dear‘ in a coquettish tone.”
Kimberly’s face turned pale. She knew exactly what Florence was talking about.
But, how did Florence know that she called Jason “dear“? Which man would tell his wife about his ambiguous affair with another woman?
Florence looked past everyone’s gaze and smiled while waving to Aurelia.
Aurelia strode over and immediately adjusted Florence’s shawl for her. It had fallen off her shoulders earlier on.
“Mrs. Lynch, it’s not suitable for you to go out now. You must take care of yourself.”
Florence felt warm because of her care and reached out to grab Aurelia’s hand.
“Ms. Simmons, you saved my daughter and 1, but I haven’t thanked you properly. When I heard that you were slandered, I couldn’t care less about my body. I just wanted to see which blind person is spouting nonsense!
“Jason and I were childhood sweethearts, and we have been married for more than ten years. He’d even share with me what he had eaten in a day. So, how could he have looked for other women?
“It’s just that he can’t handle vixens. They’re all attracted to married men and cry out ‘dear‘ non–stop in the middle of the night–just like those cats in a heat cycle.”
Aurelia bit her lip to suppress her laughter. But, the colleagues behind her couldn’t help snickering.
They all knew that Kimberly was the one visiting Jason in the middle of the night.
After kicking up all the fuss, the culprit turned out to be none other than herself.
Kimberly’s face flushed red and paled.
She complained, “Mrs. Lynch, the photos are real, aren’t they? Such intimate gestures didn’t seem like business talk”
Florence snorted coldly, “The photos were obviously snapped from misleading angles.”
Kimberly retorted, “Mrs. Lynch, I know you want to protect Mr. Lynch. After all, it’s shameful
to reveal the indecent proposal.”
Seeing Florence defending Aurelia, Kimberly decided to slander her altogether. Florence clenched her fists in anger.
At that moment, Florence’s phone beeped.
After glancing at it, Florence was surprised. She murmured, “Why is it him?”
Then Florence smiled again. “Kimberly, you want evidence? Then I’ll give it to you. This is the restaurant’s surveillance footage.
“Impossible! The restaurant’s surveillance footage will be overwritten in 48 hours. How can there be any footage remaining?” Kimberly blurted out.
Aurelia caught the slip of her tongue and asked, “How did you know that the restaurant’s. surveillance footage will be overwritten in 48 hours?”
Kimberly lowered her eyes and raised her voice to say, “It’s a common thing for restaurants. I simply guessed it.”
Seeing her guilty look, Aurelia immediately understood that the email had something to do with Kimberly.
After all, the company would definitely fire Aurelia once the indecent proposal was confirmed. By then, Kimberly would naturally become the deputy director.
Florence waved her phone and said, “Have you forgotten what company my husband works for? Restoring data is a piece of cake for One Technology.”
After saying that, Florence played the surveillance footage.
Although Jason did make some small gestures, they appeared more like unintentional touches due to the distance.
From beginning till the end, there was no such scene as Aurelia and Jason kissing.
