Chapter 244 

300 hundred thou” Aurelia felt as if she had been hit on the head and could not find her words. 

“My mom should have told you that she used to be in business and has a good head for it. She made some investments, and this necklace is one of them. It was meant to be a gift for her future daughter- in–law.” 

“No, this is too expensive. I’ll return it to you when I get back from work,” Aurelia insisted. 

She merely considered Leslie a roommate. She couldn’t possibly accept such an extravagant gift from him. 

“Why?” Leslie hesitated. 

Since he had learned about Aurelia’s financial struggles and understood her need for money, it seemed logical for her to desire it. 

Hence, he couldn’t understand why she would turn down an expensive gift. 

“Mr. Synder, this is what mom bought for her future daughter–in–law,” Aurelia said solemnly. 

“Aren’t you her daughter–in–law?” Leslie replied, his breath catching unexpectedly. 

Words slipped out without him realizing. 

Aurelia’s cheeks heated up. Amidst the silence, she heard Leslie’s slightly uneven breathing. 

Did he know what he was saying? 

Aurelia pursed her lips and said softly, “Where should I put it? I don’t have a safe.” 

Leslie couldn’t help but suppress a laugh. “You didn’t deny it.” 

Flustered, she said, “I’m busy. I’ll hang up.” 

Leslie stopped her, “There’s a safe in the study.” 

“Oh.” 

Aurelia hung up abruptly, Touching her warm cheeks, she took a few moments to regain her composure before returning to her office. 

Her colleagues gathered around. 

“Aurelia, is your husband that wealthy?” 

“No, it’s my mother–in–law who made money from her past investments. She lent it for me to wear.” 

Aurelia didn’t want rumors to spread that Leslie was a wealthy second–generation, so it was better to clarify things early. 

Linda had visited the office before, and her demeanor was far from ordinary.
