Chapter 274
“No way I’d let this happen. Millie has to pay off the debt herself. I don’t want to be a scapegoat,” Aurelia said and looked at Leslie seriously.
Leslie was genuinely amused and exasperated.
He raised his finger and playfully poked her forehead.
“Is this what you truly feel?”
“Well, that’s how I see it. I don’t want anyone bothering us,” she replied earnestly.
“Us?“1
“Us?” Leslie said with a smirk.
Caught off guard, Aurelia quickened her pace.
“Hurry up. Let’s resolve this matter as soon as possible.”
Leslie curved his lips.
What she said wasn’t that hard to swallow.
After all, debt collectors only cared about money, not people.
Even if the law confirmed that the debt was unrelated to Aurelia, they would come after her if they couldn’t collect the money.
At the police station, Aurelia met with the officer handling her case and he briefed her on the
situation.
“There’s concrete evidence, but she refuses to admit it. She’s causing a scene demanding to see you. We want you both to resolve this matter quickly, so we called you in for cooperation.”
“I don’t mind seeing her,” Aurelia said.
“Her mental state isn’t that stable right now. Be careful. She injured two other officers when we brought her in,” the officer warned.
“Okay, thank you.” Aurelia nodded.
“I’ll go with you.” Leslie walked over.
“It’s fine.” Aurelia furrowed her brows. “You’re also one of the factors that upset her. It’s better if we handle this between the two of us.
Since Leslie treated Aurelia well and occasionally made people envious, Millie mistakenly believed Aurelia was constantly competing with her.
Going in with Leslie might make Millie feel that they were here to mock her as a couple and thus provoke her further.
Leslie didn’t insist.
After all, this was a police station and Millle wouldn’t dare to cross any lines.
With that, Aurelia entered the room.
Millie sat in the corner in a designer dress that was now torn and stained.
Her arms showed various degrees of abrasions, likely from the airport commotion.
Hearing footsteps, she lifted her head, revealing a disheveled face.
“You’ve finally come. I knew you wouldn’t miss this great show. Are you happy now? Satisfied? I’ve been abandoned!” Millie laughed bitterly.
“Jackson never cared for you. Your parents, on the other hand, raised you for over twenty years. Yet, over a man, you abandoned them before your dad’s surgery. Are you happy with yourself?” Aurelia asked.
“Don’t you try to guilt–trip me! Jackson would’ve never left the country if it weren’t for you. He
would’ve never left me and we would have gotten married. My parents would’ve lived a luxurious life, “Millie said.
“Did Jackson or the Morrison family promise you that?”
Millie’s expression paled.
“They never promised anything. Do you know how many women Jackson has toyed with so far according to the internet? If you don’t accept the reality, I’ll show it to you.”
Aurelia took out her phone and showed all the scandals about Jackson, with most of them being written by Jackson’s ex–girlfriends.
“Look at them!” Aurelia held the phone to Millie’s face.
“No! It’s all fake! They’re lying!”
“Then, will you believe what Jackson’s parents have said?”
