Nathaniel knew Aurelia was upset, so he took the initiative to address it, his tone calm.
For him, it was already a request.
Aurelia tightened her fists
“I have no right to object. You won’t stand by my side, so what’s the point?”
Nathaniel gently lifted her chin, bringing them closer, their breaths mingling.
Aurelia, I bought an island in Dawnon for you. I named it Auro. How about that?”
Aurelia’s lips curved into a smile, one more bitter than tears.
In Nathanie’s eyes, her suffering and unfair treatment could be compensated with money.
“Nathanked, what will you give me if Chelsea sends someone to kill me again? A mansion or a private jet?”
To presene Chelsea’s public image, he spared no expense to silence her. Aurelia had always thought that, despite his ruthless nature, he stood for justice.
Now, it seemed he valued Chelsea over everything, without any moral boundaries.
Nathaniel’s expression darkened, a warning in his eyes. He had extended an olive branch, so he thought she should at least take it and let

“You’re not a mind reader. How can you be so sure? Nathaniel, I have my way of handling things. Chelsea endangered my life, so I’ll do whatever it takes to protect myself. Don’t expect me to endure endlessly. I’m not her mother.”
“She wouldn’t dare,” Nathaniel said with certainty,
Aurelias eyes held a hint of mockery. He still didn’t understand Chelsea What made him so sure that Chelsea wouldn’t dare?
At that moment, Nathaniel’s nostril was still stuffed with tissue.
“Aurelia, let’s change the subject. How about we talk about what you and Grandpa Reed have been giving me to eat?
Aurelia knew it wasn’t just ordinary food. Ted had let it slip in front of her last time. But what does it mean that she’s working with
Reed?
“You pe overthinking. I have no intentions towards you,”
Nathaniel licked his lips and asked, “No intentions while wearing lingerie in front of me?”
Bringing up the past, Aurelia felt embarrassed, wishing she could disappear

Nathaniel didn’t care. “So what if were seen?”
“What do you want?”
Nathaniel bent down, getting closer to her.
His handsome face was inching towards her, making Aurelias breath unsteady,
“You don’t know what I want? Do you think you can just leave as if nothing happen
He easily kissed her lips gently, unlike his usual style.
Aurelia’s mind was in a whirl.
She placed her hands on his chest, trying to maintain a sense of restraint.
“Aurelia, come back to the main bedroom and sleep with me,” he whispered, his lips trailing down t

The temperature in the office seemed to have risen.
Footsteps could be heard outside. Aurelia’s heart leaped to her throat. She wanted to leave, but it felt as if i

Nathaniel raised his eyes, his warm lips once again landing on her neck with a deeper intent.

He gave the same comment once again.
Aurelia smoothened her clothes, leaning wearily against the glass door May I leave now?”
Nathaniel looked at her, feeling better seeing her in such a weak and pitiful state. As long as she didn’t mention divorce, he still cared
about her.
“Aurelia, sleep in the main bedroom tonight,” he emphasized once again.
Aurelia just wanted to get out of his sight.
There was a knock at the door.
Zack stood outside, observing the situation. He had risked his career by coming here, indicating the urgency of the matter. “Mr. Heilbronn we’ve found new information about Lolly,” he said.
Aurelia’s heart skipped a beat. She had no idea that he had been looking for Lolly all this time.
Aurelia knew how powerful Nathaniel was. She was in a state of anxiety, not knowing what Zack had discovered.
She didn’t want to expose her secret, so she had been using a pseudonym to avoid unnecessary trouble. She just wanted passion for design and stay away from the competition among luxury brands.
pursue her
She chose Swan because they offered her enough freedom. They allowed her to release only two products a year, giving her plenty of time to focus on her family. Now, Nathaniel had caused her this trouble, making her want to leave him even more.
Their already complicated relationship couldn’t afford another layer of connection
Aurelia had no desire to leave; she wanted to hear what Zack had to say.
Nathaniel regained his composure and sat back in his chair.
Zack gently pushed the door open and nodded politely at Aurelia, getting straight to the point.
“Mr. Heilbronn, our people found out that someone bought Mr. Luke’s collection at a jewelry exhibition in West City yesterday, and the buyer is the Lolly we’ve been looking for.”
“Have you contacted Mr. Luke?”
Zack looked troubled. “That old man is as stubborn as a mule, and he believes in fate. Money and gifts won’t work with him.”
ince the shortcut doesn’t work, let’s think of another way. Get a list of participants in the jewelry exhibition.”
Zack handed over the printed paper. “Mr. Heilbronn, we’ve got the list.
Aurelia nervously clasped her hands behind her back, her palms sweaty
She tried hard to remember if the signature she left at the exhibition yesterday was Lolly or Aurelia, but she couldn’t recall.
Nathaniel focused on the list. Time seemed to slow down. Her heart sank as time went by. She was waiting for a verdict.
