Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 35 “But | heard that they broke up.”

“Women don’t like to say what they really want. Everyone in our office knows that she can’t get over Seth. Just look at the high heels that she wore for three years, they were a gift from Seth. She keeps them until now,” Kimberly sighed.

“Why don’t they just get back together if she can’t get over him? What's the point of this impasse?”

“Unfortunately, Aurelia mentioned that she married a random man to piss Seth off. She didn’t want to bring up her husband. But, everyone can tell how much she hates her husband.”

Kimberly smiled faintly. She wasn’t lying. Everyone had heard it when she said Aurelia couldn’t get over Seth. Aurelia hadn't denied it either.

She wanted to know what Aurelia’s husband looked like, but Aurelie didn’t want to show it to her. Didn’t it mean that Aurelia hated her husband?

Plus, it was Rosa who said that Aurelia married another man to piss Seth off. She had nothing to do with it. She was merely reporting what Rosa had said. “Huh? | can’t understand what she’s thinking. | think it's better to stay away from her in the future. She is so radical.”

“Alright.” Kimberly seemed as if she was smiling resignedly. But she was actually excited inside. “Let's go out for dinner together. It's on me.”

They left the building with smiles on their faces. None of them noticed Leslie who stood behind a pillar. Leslie looked sullen and his fists were clenched.

After meeting Aurelia, he went to another floor to have a business discussion. He heard what Aurelia’s colleagues were talking about once he came out of the elevator.

Good job, Aurelia! No wonder she wanted him to sign the co—living agreement. He was just a tool to make her ex-boyfriend angry. He even thought that he misunderstood Aurelia earlier.

Leslie turned around and walked out of the building. He then headed to the parking lot.

Daniel was aware of Leslie’s unpleasantness when he got in the car.

“Mr. Synder, was the business discussion unsuccessful?”

“No.”

“Then the reason that you’re angry is...” Daniel tried to guess cautiously about what Leslie was thinking. “I'm not angry,” Leslie emphasized somehow.

“Mr. Synder, you almost have the words ‘I’m very angry’ carved on your forehead,” Daniel laughed.

“Do you have nothing else to do?” Leslie raised his eyebrows.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Daniel's grin faded. He got back to the point. “We have leaked out information about the opening party to the other companies, including Synder Corporation. They've always shown their interest in ML’s chip. But they haven't taken any action due to the high price. | don’t know why they didn’t do anything when they've heard of the replacement chip we have.”

Upon hearing this, Leslie’s face turned cold and his eyes were sullen.

“They're waiting for us to reach out to them. Synder Corporation is monopolizing the market of the scientific and technological industry in Seacaster. What they want to do with a new company like ours is merging it instead of collaborating.”

“We're not in a hurry. So, we'll play a game with them. With Synder Corporation's current situation, we're not the ones on the hot bricks,”

Leslie looked outside the car dangerously. He suddenly realized that the car was parked at the place where he saw Aurelia for the first time.

He heard every word clearly when she was fighting with her ex-boyfriend beside his car. Gold—digging. Heartless. And one more now, scheming. He was almost fooled by her too.

“Mr. Synder? Mr. Synder?” Daniel felt that the atmosphere in the car was gloomy. He had to be more prudent when he called Leslie.

“What's the matter?” Leslie stopped looking at the view outside the car. “Your phone buzzed.” Daniel pointed at the phone beside him. Leslie picked his phone up to take a look. It was a WhatsApp message from Aurelia.

“Are you still working overtime tonight?”

So now she wasn’t thinking of her ex—boyfriend and remembered she had a husband?

“Yes.” Leslie didn’t want to be her tool just to make her ex—boyfriend angry.

“Okay, then you can grab something at your company. | have something to do as well,” Aurelia replied. Where was she going instead of going home after getting off work?

He remembered what Aurelia’s colleagues had said before. They said that she was still wearing the high heels that Seth had given her for three years.

Was she going to look for her ex-boyfriend?

Even though he didn’t like Aurelia, they were a legally married couple. So if she continued to get involved with her ex-boyfriend, did it mean that she really treated him as a tool?

Leslie replied to her message with a sulky face, “I’m busy with work. I'll eat later when | go home.”

“Alright.”
