Chapter 73
The Synder Corporation? The Synder Corporation was a legendary powerhouse in Seacester.
Although she was just an ordinary businesswoman, Aurelia had seen plenty of news about the Synder Corporation online. Especially the family’s extravagant wedding of three days. The corporation had booked the most expensive exhibition center in Seacester.
It was said that the entire city of Seacester had been gridlocked, with fireworks filling the sky. Over a decade had passed, but the Synder family’s love story was still legendary in Seacester. The fact that the owner of One Technology could snatch business away from the Synder Corporation was quite impressive.
“Aurelia, I can’t talk anymore. Our supervisor is urging us to go to the meeting room on the second floor. You go ahead,” the manager said before hastily entering the elevator.
“Alright,” Aurelia nodded with a shrug.
A powerhouse? An acquisition? What did it have to do with her? Even if the entire business changed hands, it wouldn’t affect her meager salary.
Aurelia walked to the banquet hall, where she saw Kimberly had already started mingling with the guests. She held a wine glass as she moved gracefully through the crowd. Naturally skilled at this, she was always the quickest to make herself comfortable.
On the other hand, Aurelia kept a lower profile. She politely greeted people and paid close attention to the event’s proceedings.
Amid the mingling crowd, Kimberly confidently approached one of the most important foreign guests, David. He was the vice president of a biotech company in Seacester who just returned from an overseas vacation in his seaside villa.
As she looked at the man, Kimberly could even imagine herself lying on a private beach in a bikini, sipping cocktails.
She stopped in front of David and raised her glass slowly. Her every move exuded charm and enthusiasm. No man could resist her.
“Cheers, I hope you enjoy today’s event.”
“Thank you, cheers.”
He glanced at Kimberly calmly and shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Kimberly’s smile froze as she followed his gaze, only to find Aurelia standing on the sidelines! It was Aurelia again!
Did he prefer Aurelia, a dull and uninteresting woman, over a beauty like her?
Kimberly tried to block David’s view and approached him with a bright smile. “I’ve also spent time abroad and often go sunbathing by the seaside. I love getting a tan. I hope to have the chance to sunbathe by the beach again.”
David looked at Kimberly, immediately understanding her intention. As he chuckled, the smell of alcohol wafted toward Kimberly.

He candidly said, “I’m sorry, even though you’re very beautiful, I don’t like your type. I prefer gentle women with black hair and fair skin.”
Kimberly was infuriated. He might as well say he liked women like Aurelia.
Fine, if that’s how it was, she would play along and give them her blessings.
Kimberly put on a gracious smile and said, “You misunderstood me; I was just reminiscing.”
Then, she turned and pointed at Aurelia. “The person you described does sound a lot like my colleague. She’s in a tough spot, facing financial difficulties due to family issues.
“She said she’d do anything for anyone who would give her money. She even recently broke up with her muscular boyfriend.”
“Is that so?” David’s expression turned complicated.
“Yes,” Kimberly sighed and continued, “Excuse me. I’ll need to check on other guests.”
She tactfully made her exit, but from the corner of her eye, she saw David approaching Aurelia.
Heh, Aurelia, you won’t be as lucky as Mr. Lynch this time.
Aurelia remained standing on the side, feeling like someone was watching her. She turned her head to glance and saw Kimberly chatting with a tall foreign man.
Was it just her imagination?
Aurelia didn’t dwell on it and shifted her gaze elsewhere. When she gazed back before her, the foreign man who chatted with Kimberly earlier stood there.
“Hello, Miss,” the man said, his speech slurred from drinking.
“Hello. Is there something you need?” Aurelia asked in fluent Normish.
