it “Chelsea, you know I dont like being tricked. It’s your birthday today, I let it go this time, just don’t do it again. I promised to give
For a moment, Chelsea felt a pang of pank. Within the depths of her heart resides an answer. She was pondering if Nathaniel’s words might mirror Beed’s proposal last time: offering her a considerable sum to dissolve their ties. If that really happened, she might not have
chance to see Nathaniel again.
And then her years of perseverance and effort would be meaningless.
“Nathaniel, I don’t mean to deceive you. I just want you to accompany me for a birthday cake. They insist on coming along. I don’t intend to expose our relationship to everyone. It is just a coincidence,”
She shifted the blame to her colleagues, not mentioning the lie she told him
When Nathaniel heard that, he couldn’t help but frown. He used to take this relationship for granted, but now it sounded grating.
As the conversation reached this point, the elevator arrived.
Nathaniel stepped in and pressed the button for the first floor. The elevator doors glided shut, dividing the two unfulfilled conversationalists into separate realms,
Aurelia headed straight to the Heilbronn Group after leaving the Joy Hotel. She was eager to retrieve Helen’s belongings and didn’t want to waste a moment. Cod knows how long she had been searching for that necklace.
It was already evening.
Most of the Heilbronn Group’s employees had already left for the day. Only a few lights were on in the building.
Aurelia opened the door to the design department and used her phone’s light to find the switch. She had a bit of night blindness, so she always had trouble seeing in the dark. Luckily, her phone still had some battery left.
The office lit up, the light somewhat blinding. Aurelia went straight to Chelsea’s desk and opened her drawer.
A red velvet jewelry box was placed prominently inside.
As Aurelia held the jewelry box in her hand, her emotions were stirred. She had finally found the necklace, and she could now fulfill her promise to Helen.
With the small boot in her hand, Aurelia remembered Helen’s smile and voice, and her eyes moistened.
Helen had always taught her that a woman should seek a partner with whom to share a lifetime of love and companionship. But in reality. Norman had betrayed Helen. Now, Nathaniel was seeking a divorce from Aurelia because of Norman’s child with another woman. If Helen knew all this, she would be heartbroken.
Aurelia wiped away her tears and slowly opened the box. After seeing what was inside, Aurelia was shocked, and her face gradually turned cold.
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Inside the box was not Helen’s necklace but the engagement ring that she lost.
was indeed Chelsea who stole it.

Aurelia suspected Chelsea before, but she didn’t dare to conclude without evidence. Of course, she also found it hard to believe that Chelsea’s moral standards were so low.

Chelsea not only wanted Aurelia’s man but also tried to ruin Aurelia and take her life.
The more Aurelia thought about it, the more afraid she became. She didn’t know what else this madwoman would do because once such a
thing started, it was hard to stop.
She had to do something.
Aurelia put the ring on her ring finger and gently felt it. It was a twist of fate.
That year, the Swan Company specifically asked her to design a wedding ring, and she submitted a design based on her preferences. Swan understood the concept of scarcity marketing. Only three pairs of this wedding ring were made and sold globally, and it became a global sensation. Many wealthy people wanted a pair but couldn’t afford them, Reed, however, managed to buy a pair back.
She had never thought she would be able to find this small item again. She looked up and forcefully held back her tears as the mere finding of the lost ring couldn’t salvage her broken marriage.
Even if Aurelia could start over with Nathaniel, Chelsea would still be the one Nathaniel loved. Aurelia thought this marriage was a mistake from the beginning.
The ring should have been on Chelsea’s hand, and Aurelia thought she was just a substitute.
Aurelia reminded herself once again that Nathaniel’s confusing behavior towards her in the past was just an act, and the person he loved had always been Chelsea. She couldn’t take the gentleness Nathaniel showed her occasionally seriously anymore.
She firmly removed the ring, put it back in the box, and reluctantly placed it back in the drawer. Chelsea had to pay the price for what she had done. She had to make Nathaniel see what kind of woman Chelsea was.
At the bottom of the drawer, Helen’s necklace lay there. without even a package.

Aurelia picked up
Helen’s death was suspicious. She still hadn’t figured out the cause of Helen’s death. She couldn’t help but feel sad and ask herself why she was so useless and why she had to beg Chelsea to get Helen’s belongings back.
Aurelia wiped her tears and came out of the building with red eyes.
“Aurelia, why are you leaving work so late?”
Aurelia thought she had misheard, but when she turned around, she really saw Marcus’s gentle face. His frameless glasses, coupled with his slightly tan skin, made his face even more refined.
He was elegant and noble as usual.
Aurelia thought no one could carry glasses with such grace.
Uncle Marcus, what are you doing here?”
Aurelia was a little surprised to see Marcus at this time in the company because she remembered that Marcus had always been recuperating and had never been involved in the Hellbronn Group’s business.
Marcus pushed his glasses, and the soft light reflected off the lenses.
“I also have a position at the Heilbronn Group, I just finished my work it this time.”

Marcus raised his hand to look at his watch. “Shall I treat you to a late night snack? You don’t look so good.”
birthday party,
Aurelia felt a little embarrassed because Marcus always saw her in a sorry state. She had only eaten some fruit at Chelsea’s birthd ⠀ and at this moment, she was indeed very hungry.
Before she could say anything, Marcus had already decided for her.
Let’s go. I’ll take y
you to eat something delicious.”
Unable to refuse his invitation, Aurelia followed Marcus to the parking lot. Marcus pressed the car key, and a Maybach flashed its headlights in the distance.
Aurelia looked over, but her gaze stopped at the limited edition black Bentley next to it.
That was Nathaniel’s car. It turned out they hadn’t left the birthday party yet.
“What are you thinking?”
Aurelia was a little distracted, but Marcus’s words brought her back to reality. Marcus had already arrived at the passenger side. He opened the car door for her and reached out the other hand to the roof to prevent her from hitting her head. He was a truly noble gentleman.
Nathaniel would never do this for her. If she were a few seconds late getting into the car, Nathaniel would leave her behind and go. How could she expect him to help her open the car door?
“Nothing.”
The car smoothly merged onto the main road. Aurelia was a bit reserved, so she thought the atmosphere would be awkward, but she wa
wrong.
Marcus was very talkative, and the topics of conversation were light. She felt comfortable being around him, unlike Nathaniel, who was always sarcastic and quick to argue.
“Uncle Marcus, when do you start working at the company? I remember you’ve always been… recuperating.”
Aurelia had met him a few times at the hospital before. In her impression, Marcus had always been taking medication.
“I start on the same day as you.”
