Chapter 382
Upon hearing that Aurelia had bought the shoes, Cynthia, who was hiding nearby, couldn’t help but clench her fists.
The privilege that used to be hers had been taken by Aurelia. And what made it worse was the fact that even Jessica and Maria had been invited to Aurelia’s house for dinner. Yet, she hadn’t received an invitation.
It seemed like Leslie did it all on purpose for Aurelia.
Cynthia had never seen Leslie care so much about a woman before. And even though she held her current position, she had initially been scolded by Leslie when she’d first arrived.
Just as Cynthia was lost in her thoughts, her phone rang.
As she glanced at the caller ID, she stepped aside from the crowd to take the call.
“Eva, why are you calling me now? Aren’t you worried about getting caught?” Cynthia
asked.
“Cynthia, what’s that supposed to mean? I’m risking my job to help you, and now you’re trying to act like we’re not even friends?” Eva replied, annoyed.
Upon hearing this, Cynthia quickly changed her tone and comforted Eva, saying, “Eva, that’s not what I meant. I’ve already reached out to a friend at the IN headquarter, and she said she’ll advocate for you. It’s just a temporary inconvenience.”
Upon hearing this, Eva calmed down.
“Cynthia, who even is this guy? I just got a call from the president, and from the way he spoke, this guy is definitely not just a programmer.
“And about that necklace I can’t figure out who would give Aurelia a 50 million dollar necklace. Someone must be trying to mess with me, and I won’t let them get away with it!
Upon hearing this, Cynthia’s expression turned serious.
Given that things had reached this point, if she didn’t clarify Leslie’s identity to her, Eva would definitely act recklessly.
Cynthia couldn’t let Eva ruin her plans. So, she said, “Eva, I’m really sorry for not being honest with you earlier. The company has strict rules about revealing Leslie’s identity,
and I was worried that if I did, Leslie might cause problems for you.”
“What do you mean? Does he really have another identity?”
“Do you know about the Mulan Group?”
“Who doesn’t?”
“He’s the heir of the Mulan Group, and One Technology is just a front for him,” Cynthia whispered.
“You… said the Mulan Group?”
“Yeah.”
“Doesn’t that make Aurelia the ‘Mrs. Synder‘ to Mulan Group? Why are you telling me this now?” Eva reproached.
“No! She isn’t! She has no clue about Leslie’s identity. Besides, if Leslie truly acknowledged her as ‘Mrs. Synder‘, wouldn’t he have told her his true identity? I think it’s just a game.”
“But they are a real couple, and you’re just…” Nothing.
Eva hesitated, but ultimately, she didn’t finish her sentence out loud.
“Eva, as long as it stays private, Aurelia is insignificant. Their marriage means nothing.
Just think about it, if you could help me marry Leslie, wouldn’t that benefit you more?” Just think about it, if you could help me marry
Cynthia persuaded Eva.
Eva stayed quiet for a while before responding, “Cynthia, it’s not that I don’t believe you. After all, you’ve been with Leslie for so many years. But do you really think it’ll work out?
Cynthia was taken aback by this question, but she remained calm as she said, “I was careless this time, but someone with Leslie’s status wouldn’t actually marry someone as ordinary as Aurelia, right?”
“You’ve got a point. After all, you’re the most capable woman by his side, and your understand him the most too,” Eva approvingly said.
“As long as you’re clear of that then. But in the meantime, we’ll keep Leslie’s true identity between ourselves. And whatever you do, don’t let Aurelia find out.
“If she discovers Lelsie’s identity, she’ll stick to him like glue. I’ll figure out how to deal with her,” Cynthia said.

“You know, something just came to my mind. Ms. Lawson at our magazine publisher is really impressed with Aurelia. She’d even put her in charge of planning the upcoming charity event. And if the plans go smoothly, Aurelia’s reputation could really take off.” “Is that so? Then let’s make sure she fails,” Cynthia coldly said.
