Chapter 33
Millie didn’t understand why Aurelia had asked her to do so. But, she did as she was told and walked to the ATM with the bank card.
Rosa’s face turned pale upon seeing this situation.
She quickly stepped forward to grab the card, but Aurelia stopped her.
“Didn’t you say that you’re giving me the money in the card, Mrs. Martinez? Of course, I have to check.”
“You… You don’t believe me?” Rosa stammered.
“I believe you, but seeing is believing. I’m sure that everyone wants to know how good you’re treating me, right?” Aurelia smiled and looked at the colleagues around her.
Everyone nodded their heads. Rosa’s face turned as white as a sheet. She didn’t know what to
retort.
After a while, Millie screamed in surprise. She then ran back in rage. “What did you mean by 100 thousand dollars? There’s only 10 dollars on this card. Do you know what you’re doing is considered marital fraud? Thank goodness Aurelia didn’t promise you anything.”
“I… I don’t know anything” Rosa started to play dumb,
“Mrs. Martinez, you didn’t even know how much your house cost? Did you sell it for 100 thousand dollars or 10 dollars? I think I should report this to the police for you in case you’ve met a fraud.” Aurelie pretended to take her phone out nervously.
Rosa was afraid that Aurelia would really call the police. She grabbed the bank card from Aurelia’s hand and took a couple of steps back. She exclaimed cunningly, “Aurelia, I came to see you because I care about you! But don’t you overrate yourself!
“Everyone, take a look at this young lady! Her mother was seriously ill and that’s why she wanted to cheat us of our money. If we don’t give her the money, she won’t agree to marry my son! My poor son has eyes full of her. All he wants is to get back together with her.”
Aurelia’s colleagues knew about her mother’s illness. But when they heard Rosa’s statement, the look in their eyes had changed. They all stared at Aurelia differently.
Kimberly added exaggeratedly, “Aurelia, marriage symbolizes love. It’s not a bargaining chip to exchange for money. It’s pitiful that your mother is ill. But Seth’s not obligated to pay for the treatment. How could you refuse to marry him because of this? Did you treat Seth fairly for his devotion over the past three years?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Rosa realized someone had taken her side. She lifted her chin as if trying to see what Aurelia would do.
Aurelia suffered the stares in her colleagues‘ eyes. She hadn’t done anything wrong, but now she was declared guilty by people who were irrelevant to this matter.
Rosa knew it was her mistake. But she was still arrogant. She pointed at Aurelia and scolded, Aurelia, don’t you speak that nonsense to me! You’ve wasted three years of my son’s life. He paid for everything that you ate and used. Do you really think you can break up with him if you just say so? No way! You have to marry my son!”
