Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth
Chapter 144

Chapter 144

Aurelia widened her eyes, never expecting to encounter such an improper person right outside her company.

She struggled and said, “Let go…”

Before Aurelia could finish speaking, a sharp voice cut through the air. “Aurelia! What are you doing?”

This was followed by a tremendous force. Even Jackson, a towering figure at six feet, was pushed back several steps.

Aurelia, who was wearing high heels, stumbled further backward. Fortunately, the glass door blocked her and prevented her from falling.

Rubbing her numb shoulder, she glared angrily at the newcomer. “Millie, what are you doing?

“What am I doing? Aurelia, can’t you stand seeing me happy? Are you actually flirting with my boyfriend in public?”

Millie watched Aurelia, who had transformed from her usual lifeless appearance into someone so dazzling and beautiful.

Her emotions fluctuated in her eyes and they all boiled down to resentment. Then, she walked to Jackson’s side and linked arms with him to assert her sovereignty.

However, Jackson remained silent, his gaze still fixed on Aurelia.

Suppressing her disgust, Aurelia looked at Millie and said firmly, “I didn’t do anything. I just slipped!”

Millie didn’t believe her and turned to Jackson. “Jackson, did she intentionally try to get close to you?”

Aurelia looked at Jackson, expecting him to clear her name if he truly was Millie’s boyfriend.

Unexpectedly, Jackson just shrugged, seemingly enjoying the attention from the two women vying for him.

Jackson’s behavior fueled Millie’s anger.

The people who gathered around the Ferrari heard the commotion and turned their attention over. Millie publicly rushed to Aurelia and accused, “Aurelia! Have you no shame? You’re already married! Yet, you still seduced a friend’s boyfriend!”

The crowd murmured, and their gazes toward Aurelia became more disdainful.

“You failed to copy your colleague’s work, so you changed your strategy? Why bother getting married if you are that thirsty for attention? Seeing that your friend has found a wealthy boyfriend, you can’t stand it, huh? Some people just can’t stand seeing others doing better than them.”

Aurelia paled, but Millie found it pleasing. It almost felt as if demeaning Aurelia elevated her

status.

Aurelia clenched her fists. Since Millie insisted on causing a scene, she would play along. Looking at Millie, she said, “Millie, you claim I seduced your boyfriend. Where’s the evidence?

Millie hesitated for a moment, then sneered. “I saw it with my own eyes. What other evidence do I need? Are you saying that we are framing you? Aurelia, I know you are upset about the plagiarism incident, but you don’t need to vent your frustration on me, right?”

“Despite all your talk, you are basically saying that you have no evidence, right?” Aurelia countered.

“You…” Millie’s expression became awkward.

Ignoring her, Aurelia walked directly to Jackson. “Sir, do you also think I seduced you?”

Jackson’s gaze flickered, but he still refused to give a direct answer. However, he kept his expression ambiguous and misleading.

He clearly didn’t intend to explain the situation.

Aurelia had dealt with plenty of clients and wealthy men like Jackson were predictable.

They were only egocentric. They enjoyed being fawned over and maintaining control over the situation.

Millie needed him, so she was willing to fawn over him and allow him to manipulate her.

However, Aurelia was different.

She smiled. “Mr. Morrison, you sure were talkative when you introduced yourself just now. Why are you keeping quiet now? Don’t deny it, or I wouldn’t be able to know your name since this is the first time we met. Jackson Morrison, right?”

The crowd fell into silence.

Millie’s expression darkened and her

eyes

widened.

“What? Are you upset that your boyfriend is asking another woman for her name?” Aurelia thought. “You were just desperate to get others to condemn me, weren’t you?”
