Chapter 349
In the video, the men discussed Aurelia with disdain
“Guys, this woman demands a high price for her services! She’s not impressive at all.”
“I’ve seen her in person. She doesn’t look as good as in the photos. She wore a lot of makeup.”
“In a society governed by law, she dares to behave so recklessly in public. We were just aslding her about the rumors online to see if they were true.”
“We didn’t expect her to discuss prices with us right away. We’re all decent young men, so of course we turned her down. But then she got angry and wanted to hit us with her purse.”
“I feel like her mental state might not be that stable. She seems a bit like someone on drugs.”
The comments below started to go wild with speculation.
Aurelia was quickly becoming known as the “Venomous Woman of Seacester“.
She stared at the video and forgot about calling the police.
If she weren’t the person involved, she wouldn’t have noticed any flaws in the video. Most importantly, the voice negotiating the price was really hers.
“This…” Her mind went blank.
Leslie leaned over to glance at the video, then quickly accessed it online us
computer.
“It’s edited,” he said.
“But why is there no trace of editing?” Aurelia pursed her lips.
“Because it was actually your voice,” Leslie explained.
Aurelia listened carefully to the audio.

It was indeed her voice, especially the mention of “500 dollars.” It was unmistakably her
tone.
She felt so overwhelmed that she couldn’t calm down. So, she forcefully pinched her arm, letting the pain snap her out of her fear.
“What are you doing?” Leslie grabbed her hand and frowned at the bruise forming on it.
“I’m fine. I’m just trying to snap out of it. Also, I know where this voice came from,” she
said.
Aurelia opened her own account, which was now flooded with private messages. Regardless, her previous work videos were still on the homepage.
One of them was her recommending a small themed hall for a client. “The rental fee for this small hall is 500 dollars. Listen to my voice,” she said.
Aurelia clicked on the video, and the voice matched exactly with the one in the videos. posted by those men.
This was enough evidence to prove that the audio had been edited.
Leslie couldn’t help but admire Aurelia’s composure in the face of such a situation.
But then, he thought about her earlier comments regarding her former colleague and immediately noticed her trembling shoulders.
She was only in her 20s. Her father passed away and her mother was critically ill. On top of that, she was being swarmed by false accusations that targeted her as a woman. How could she not be afraid?
She was just faking it. According to what she once said, she had no choice.
Leslie didn’t console her and said, “Call the police first. I will help with the rest.”
She nodded and called the police.
The police soon arrived at the hotel and found a wire in the kitchen disposal.

The officer who took Aurelia’s testimony walked over with a bag of evidence. Is this what tripped you?”
Aurelia nodded. “Yeah, that’s the right color.”
“It’s a good thing the garbage bag was sealed, so the evidence was not contaminated. The fingerprints on it should remain. By the way, do you recognize this symbol?” The officer pointed at a symbol on the wire.
Aurelia nodded again. “It belongs to IN Magazine. All their wires have the same symbol. Ms. Hanks said so herself.”

“Alright. We will send this to the lab. Since a large sum of money is involved in this case, we will handle it with care,” the officer said.
“Wait,” Leslie called out. “We were hoping that the evidence wouldn’t get published in the meantime. IN Magazine hasn’t revealed the owner of the necklace and we don’t want them shifting the blame.”
“Don’t worry. Please trust us. Until we have the truth, we won’t leak any information. We will be taking the surveillance footage and the wire away with us,” the officer said.
“Okay.” Leslie nodded and let them go.
