Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357 

“It’s your ex, 

Seth Martinez. And one of your colleagues, Kimberly Watson,” Dennis informed her. 

Aurelia was rendered speechless. No wonder her expressions in those photos and videos looked so familiar. 

“We’re preparing to send someone to apprehend them both immediately. Please come over when you have some time,” Dennis said. 

“Hold on,” Aurelia interrupted Dennis. 

“What’s the matter? You’re not considering letting them go, are you? Your incident has caused quite a commotion in Seacester, and we’re also treating this case very seriously,” he said. 

“No, I’m not saying I want to let them go. I’m just wondering if it’s possible to arrest them tomorrow instead,” Aurelia suggested. 

Dennis was confused. “Why?” 

“Tomorrow, I have to handle the matter concerning the 50 million dollar necklace, and Kimberly is one of the people involved. I’m worried that her arrest might interfere with my negotiations with IN Magazine,” Aurelia explained. 

Dennis wasn’t skilled in business negotiations, especially when there was a significant amount of money involved. However, he was still aware that they would prefer two parties involved present for the negotiation. 

Considering everything, it seemed that escalating the situation wouldn’t be beneficial for 

anyone. 

After deliberating on the pros and cons, Dennis accepted Aurelia’s request, and they agreed to carry out the arrests the following day. 

After sorting things out, Aurelia sent a message to Leslie. 

“Thank you so much, Mr. Synder,” she said. 

“It’s alright,” he replied. 

“Are you coming home for dinner tonight?” she asked. 

“Yes,” he informed her. 

Aurelia wanted to tell him that she would be waiting for him. She had even typed out the message and was ready to send it. However, she felt that the message was somewhat inappropriate, so she deleted it and rewrote it. 

“We’ll have something delicious for dinner tonight,” she said. 

It took Leslie quite a while to respond as he was still typing. Yet, in the end, he only sent a one–word response. “Okay.” 

Aurelia, accustomed to seeing one–word responses, couldn’t help but smile at that 

moment. 

Afterward, she changed her clothes and made her way to Young Advertising. 

When Aurelia’s colleagues saw her, they avoided her like the plague. 

Since Aurelia had already resigned, she saw no reason to argue with them any further and silently began packing up her things. 

As she was preparing to leave with her box of things, Kimberly and some others blocked her way. 

“Wait a second, we need to check what you’re taking with you, just in case you’re thinking of selling company secrets to pay off your debts,” Kimberly said. 

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’ve already gone to the Human Resources and Administration Department and handed in all of the company’s property. They’ve also signed off on it. These are my personal belongings, and I have the right not to let you see them,” Aurelia said bluntly. 

Aurelia’s eyes burned with defiance as she met Kimberly’s gaze. 

Kimberly’s jaw tightened. She was puzzled. It was unfathomable to her how an ordinary person like her could remain calm after learning that they had to pay 50 million dollars. 

Moreover, at that moment, Aurelia was considered an infamous internet sensation. After experiencing mental and financial distress, she should have appeared gaunt and dejected. 

Instead, Aurelia still had the guts to stand up to her. 

Kimberly glanced at those around her and said, “Go and look through the box. After all, I’m acting in the best interests of the company. I’m curious to see who’s still willing to help her now.” 

When they heard this, a few of her colleagues wore slightly enigmatic smiles on their faces. 

“Aurelia, we hope you don’t hold it against us. You brought this trouble upon yourself. We’re simply acting in the best interests of the company,” one of them insisted. 

“Oh, please. You’re just trying to kick me when I’m down, aren’t you? You’ve never had the chance before, so you’re not going to waste it now, right?” jeered Aurelia. 

Since Aurelia had already resigned, she found no reason to put on a front. 

Since they dared to approach her on the pretense of checking her belongings, weren’t 

they
