Chapter 280
The man walked over and dragged Kimberly out.
“Do you think I can’t find you if you hide? We’re married, and you are my wife. Where can you hide?” “No, I’m not. We haven’t gotten married yet,” Kimberly shouted.
“You accepted my dowry of 150 thousand dollars, and now you tell me that you’re not my wife? Are you trying to trick me? I have the transaction records right here!”
The man took out his phone, but Kimberly slapped it away.
Furious, he slapped her across the cheek. “How dare you go against me?”
Kimberly’s cheek turned crimson, but she didn’t dare to argue.
The man grabbed her. “Haven’t you been embarrassed enough? Who else would want you now?
“Come home with me. What’s a woman doing working in an office? There are plenty of chores for you to do at home.”
“No, I’m not going!” Kimberly screamed and reached out her hand to her colleagues, but everyone ignored her.
Even Zachary closed the blinds on his window after giving her a glance.
Everyone knew that Kimberly was useless now.
Aurelia pursed her lips and continued to sit down with her colleagues.
Seeing this, Kimberly fell into despair as she was dragged away by the man.
Aurelia wasn’t affected by Kimberly and continued eating.
Kimberly was the one who had accepted the dowry by using marriage as bait, so the outcome was no one else’s business.
After the lunch break, Aurelia overheard the others gossiping about Kimberly as she drank a glass of
water.
It turned out that Kimberly’s uncle had frozen her card. But because she was too accustomed to luxury, Kimberly couldn’t get used to a frugal lifestyle.
So, she had hooked up with a nouveau riche. Initially, she had thought that an uneducated nouveau- riche man would be easy to fool.
Little did she know that he was quite shrewd. He had transferred the money to her, explicitly labeling it as the dowry for their marriage.
Kimberly, however, only cared about receiving the money and didn’t bother to check the payment notes at all. Now, she found herself in a predicament as she was forced to get married.

Rumor had it that even her uncle wouldn’t help her this time. It seemed that she had no choice but to get married.
That was good. She deserved it.
Her skills in seducing men had backfired, and now she found herself at the mercy of a man.
At two in the afternoon, Aurelia went to the restroom to touch up her makeup, then went downstairs
to wait for Leslie.
Meanwhile, at the airport, Leslie stood at the exit and watched as a woman approached him.
She wore an elegant white dress, her curls falling over her shoulders beautifully. Her every movement drew the attention of every man around her.
However, her gaze was fixed on Leslie as she walked briskly and confidently toward him.
“Leslie, it’s been a while.”
“Cynthia, long time no see.” Leslie nodded politely but frowned when he glanced at his phone. You’re half an hour late.”
“I went to the restroom to change my clothes for the event later so that I won’t embarrass the company,” Cynthia said with a smile.
“Let’s go.”
Leslie’s eyes didn’t linger on her. He simply turned around and walked out of the airport.
Cynthia was slightly taken aback when she realized that Leslie had been subconsciously checking the time. He seemed to be in a hurry.
This reminded her of the woman’s voice on the phone the other day. She had heard the same voice twice now. It was definitely not a coincidence.
She had worked by Leslie’s side for many years and had been subtly revealing her own feelings for
him.
Although he maintained a clear boundary between work and personal life and never responded to her advances, everyone knew that she was special because she was the only woman who still remained working alongside Leslie.
She refused to believe that anyone could replace her.
