Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth
Chapter 197

Chapter 197 

Leslie and Linda were both startled when Daniel stormed in. 

Confused, Linda asked, “Mr. Xenos, what are you talking about?” 

Panting heavily, Daniel recounted the incident involving Aurelia and Seth. 

Worried that Leslie and Linda might not believe him, he had to show them the local news to prove it. 

“This matter has become widely known. The scene of Seth being beaten has even been turned into memes. There’s no way that this isn’t true.” 

“Mr. Synder, I genuinely didn’t know that Ms. Simmons is your wife. Please don’t take my words to heart. The facts prove that Mrs. Simmons never intended to reconcile with her ex–boyfriend. She was just coerced by that scoundrel.” 

Linda was infuriated. 

“Seth is truly despicable! He has always plotted against Aurelia. I was hesitant to expose him before, but now he dares to use her mother’s life to threaten her. He deserves to be arrested. That female colleague of Aurelia, too. I knew she wasn’t a good person since the last time we met!” 

Leslie took out his phone to check. 

To his surprise, even Howard posted on social media to confirm that Kimberly had spread rumors about her colleague cheating and having an affair. 

Being a lawyer, Howard wouldn’t make baseless statements, so Leslie immediately understood the whole situation. 

Kimberly must have said something to Seth, prompting him to rush to Aurelia’s company and force her to get back together with him in public. 

This ordinary love dispute had become so sensational, with Howard and his law firm fueling the fire. 

Just then, a loud thunder sounded outside. 

Recalling what he said to Aurelia on the phone, Leslie’s expression darkened. 

He turned to Daniel and asked, “When you went to the room to get things today, did you throw something away?” 

Daniel thought for a moment. 

“Just a garbage bag by the door. It’s been hot lately, and I was afraid it would start smelling.”

Leslie’s gaze hardened, and his face tensed. 

“Mr. Synder, did I throw something I wasn’t supposed to? What was inside?” Daniel asked gingerly, 

“Aurelia’s high heels. They were a gift from her ex–boyfriend,” Leslie replied with displeasure. 

Next to them, Linda let out a bitter laugh. 

“What a joke. How could he possibly buy heels for Aurelia? I’ve known Aurelia for so long that I know Seth would only take her to eat the cheapest set of meals. Even the flowers he buys are discounted. Buying her heels? Ha!” 

With a sarcastic laugh, Linda suddenly paused and looked worriedly at Leslie.” What kind of heels were they?” 

“Black, a bit worn. Her colleague said she’s been wearing them for three years. She and Seth were together for three years. I heard that she cherishes them a lot and never even allows a speck of dust to get on them…” 

Leslie was immediately interrupted. 

“It’s over! Daniel, what have you done?” Linda pointed at Daniel. 

“Mom, what’s going on?” Leslie frowned. 

“Who told you that those heels were from Seth?” 

“Her colleague, Kimberly…” 

Leslie clenched his fists and realized that he had made a stupid mistake. 

Linda stared at him and sighed. “Those shoes were a gift from her parents when she passed probation. It was the last gift she received from her dad.” 

“Her dad fell ill and passed away quite suddenly. Her mom then also fell ill and those heels were the only things she had to remember her parents from.” 

“I wanted to buy her a new pair after I got to know her, but she turned me down. It’s more than just a pair of heels. It represents her parents‘ expectations and love. Throwing them away would kill her.” 

By the time she finished talking, Leslie was already nowhere to be seen. 

Daniel’s figure wavered 

“Ms. Miller, do you think I could be saved? I really didn’t know that bag belonged to Ms. Simmons. I didn’t see any woman’s belongings in Mr. Synder’s room so I thought that was just garbage…”

Linda’s expression darkened and she looked at Daniel in surprise. 

“What did you just say?” 

“Uh, what sentence are you referring to?” 

“Are you saying that they don’t sleep in the same room?” she asked. 

“I think so.”
