Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199

Aurelia looked up at the tall and burly security guards in fear.

She was afraid but she decided to bravely confront them.

However, Leslie shielded her behind him before she could even lift her foot.

“It’s my fault. I accidentally threw away my wife’s belongings, so I came to help her find them.”

Aurelia paused, not expecting Leslie to shoulder all the blame himself.

In the past, Seth would have found it embarrassing and left her to face the situation alone.

Noticing that Leslie looked rather formidable, the security guard softened his tone.

“Are you one of the homeowners here?”

“Yes,” Leslie nodded. “When is the garbage usually collected here? And where does it go?”

Aurelia looked at Leslie in surprise, finally believing that he was genuinely helping her solve the problem.

The security guard pondered the question for a moment.

“It’s collected at four in the afternoon. It’s past six now. However, the garbage in this area will be taken to the nearby garbage disposal station for sorting. But it’s been too long. You won’t be able to

retrieve it.”

The other security guard advised, “It’s dark now, and the rain is still heavy. If the items aren’t valuable, maybe it’s better to let it go.”

Aurelia clenched the handle of her umbrella and looked at Leslie, who was soaked from head to toe.

She reached out to tug at his clothes. “Forget it, there’s no need to look anymore.”

With that, she turned and walked away.

Back home, Aurelia went straight to the bathroom and locked the door behind her.

The disgusting stench, mixed with the smell of blood, made her look disheveled and pitiful.

She turned on the tap and rinsed her wounds with water, trying to numb herself.

But as she looked at herself in the mirror, tears rolled down her cheeks.

The only memory her parents left her had also disappeared, and she felt orphaned.

She bit her lip to suppress any cries, but she couldn’t hold back and covered her mouth, sobbing quietly.

Though her sobs were very soft, Leslie, who had just entered the door, heard it.

Leslie paused in the midst of removing his shoes, his face tense.

He then bent down, picked up the umbrella on the floor, and left the apartment.

Aurelia cried in the bathroom for a long time.

She only stopped crying when she ran out of tears.

Eventually, she had to accept reality.
