Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 

“She accepted the ring and was about to say yes, When the time comes, we’ll sell the house, transfer the property, and then get married. This way, the house will have nothing to do with her. Her father’s health is deteriorating. Once he’s gone, the other house will be yours and your father’s to live in.” 

“As long as I coax her into marriage, I’ll become a local. Finding a job won’t be difficult, right? Mom, I have to go. She’s back.” 

Seth hastily hung up the phone as Aurelia watched Lily approaching. 

Lily glanced at her once, then walked straight to Seth without looking back. 

Aurelia’s heart sank. 

It seemed that Lily had chosen to believe Seth and who knew what awaited her in the future. 

Aurelia hadn’t finished her thoughts when a splash of water from the next table caught everyone’s attention in the restaurant. 

It was followed by Lily’s voice as she said, “I’ll treat you to this tea! You hypocrite!

“You! What did you say?” Seth was clearly bewildered. 

Lily tossed the ring to Seth, saying, “How dare you use a ring that cost 20 dollars to propose to me?” 

“No, this is…” 

“Do you dare to swear that it’s real?” Lily interrupted. 

Instead of explaining, Seth blamed Lily for not being understanding. “Don’t you think my heart is what matters most? When did you become so materialistic?” 

Lily was utterly bewildered. “I’m materialistic? You bought a flower that cost maybe a dollar, a set meal of thirteen dollars, and used a ring that costs around twenty to trick me into marriage? Who is the materialistic one here? And this?” 

She threw the fake designer handkerchief in her hand to Seth, then looked at him from head to toe. “All those are counterfeits. Do you really think I’m that easy to fool? Are 

you proud of yourself for using this little money to cheat me into giving you a house?” 

Seth was stunned and paled. “How did you…” 

“How did I find out? I consulted an expert just now to identify your cheap

handkerchief. This isn’t even considered a high–quality counterfeit. And all the clothes you have on are fake. 

“Who are you to talk about sincerity? I think you and your mother are just 

disgusting. By the way, ask your mother to return the gold bracelet I bought her, or you’ll find yourself in the police station again.” 

Having said that, Lily turned and left. Seth was left alone to face the scornful looks from others. 

In the end, he fled the scene with his head down. 

A new cup of lemon tea appeared on Aurelia’s table. She called the waiter and said, “We didn’t order lemon tea.” 

The waiter smiled. “It was ordered by the girl who ran out just now.” 

Aurelia lifted the lemon tea and held it in front of Leslie. 

“See? Although there are people like Millie who are confused, most girls are still sensible.” 

“Are you that naive?” Leslie asked expressionlessly. 

“Mr. Synder, the world is indeed not perfect, but it’s not as bad as you think. Don’t you feel that the worse you think, the worse everything around you 

becomes? Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” 

Aurelia smiled and brought a clean cup. She then poured half of her lemon tea into it and handed it to Leslie. 

“Cheers to a beautiful world.” 

Leslie fell into silence. 

Leslie looked at the smile on her face and clicked glasses with him. He never quite liked lemon tea, but it tasted nice at this moment. 

Aurelia had always been optimistic. 

After eating, they returned home to find that Linda had left. 

She also left a note on the table that said, “I won’t disturb the newlyweds anymore.”
