Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 

Aurelia felt like she was dealing with a madwoman, someone impervious to reason or simply unwilling to listen. 

She glanced at Mrs. Parker and said, “Mrs. Parker, it’s already late. We’ll head back first.” 

Mrs. Parker was tired but hesitant to impose on others further. “Aurelia, thank you so much today. 

You head back first.” 

“Alright.” 

Aurelia looked at Leslie, and they turned to leave. 

However, Millie immediately grabbed Aurelia. 

“You can’t leave! Give me back the money! You have an emerald necklace worth over 200 thousand, that should be enough!” 

Caught off guard, Aurelia nearly stumbled. 

Leslie was prepared and had walked behind her. 

He swiftly pulled her into his embrace. 

Still shaken, Aurelia heard Leslie’s stern voice. 

“Let go! I never mentioned that I wouldn’t hit a woman.” 

Without warning, there was a snapping sound. 

While Millie’s arm wasn’t broken, Leslie had clearly caused her considerable pain. 

Jealous and resentful, Millie released her grip. 

Simultaneously, Leslie let go of Millie. 

Aurelia clenched her bag strap and glared at Millie. 

“Millie, after all you’ve said, you’ve been plotting to take my emerald necklace all along. Let me make 

it clear–I don’t owe you anything!” 

With that, Aurelia pulled Leslie out of the hospital. 

Once outside, she sighed heavily. 

She took out and set her phone aside repeatedly, unsure of what to do. 

Walking beside her, Leslie asked, “Are you thinking of sending the Parkers some money?” 

Startled, she mumbled, “You really don’t miss anything. Millie said she wants to follow Jackson abroad. In the past, I’d thought of it as a joke. But after what she did today, I feel she’s capable of doing it. If she really left, what will happen to Mr. and Mrs. Parker? We used to be close and her

parents treated me well.‘ 

“Then do it,” Leslie said calmly.

“You won’t mock me, will you? This money was the one sent by you before. I’ve been tight on living expenses recently, so…. 

“Why would I mock you? They’ve treated you well. There’s no need to resent them because of Millie. Besides, the money I gave you is yours now.” 

“Alright.” 

Aurelia sighed a breath of relief and observed him in secret. 

She didn’t want Leslie to think that she was a pushover and was wasting money. 

But, observing him,he didn’t seem bothered. 

Confirming Leslie’s opinion, Aurelia sent Mrs. Parker a few hundred bucks. 

It wasn’t much, but it was enough to show that she cared. 

She suddenly realized that having someone mentally stable next to her makes everything so much. more simpler. 

“Mr. Synder, are you hungry? I’ll treat you to a meal.” 

She ran some calculations in her head.
