Chapter 133
After she left, Aurelia returned to her seat, deep in thought.
If Elowen wasn’t involved, the situation had just become more complicated.
Moreover, she had a feeling that the target wasn’t only Evelyn, but also her.
The waitress was standing exactly between her and Evelyn, if she hadn’t left, she would have been hurt too.
Then, Darcy sent a WhatsApp message, “Boss, someone’s spreading the word that Evelyn was hurt, and your and Ms. Elowen were behind it. The whole company is whispering about it.”
A sharp, icy light flashed in Aurelia’s eyes, “Can you find out who did it?”
“I’ve asked around, the news came from the internet, not sure who’s the source.”
Aurelia had a feeling that the one who spread the rumors was the real culprit.
She immediately sent this message to Elowen, who already knew. Not only Astral Enterprises, but also the whole high society was talking about it.
Aurelia was furious.
She just wanted to be a bystander, watching the drama unfold quietly, but unexpectedly she was dragged
into the mess.
Leopold sent a WhatsApp message, asking her to come to his office.
Was he planning to confront her?
She decided to take the initiative, and as soon as she entered the office, she said, “Mr. Leopold, I’ve been framed. You have to stand up for me!”
Leopold leaned back in his executive chair, expressionless, his eyes deep and inscrutable.
“How can you prove that you’ve been framed?”
“If I hadn’t gone to the restroom, I would’ve been scalded like Evelyn.” She sat on the couch, looking very serious, “I suspect that the target is not only Evelyn but also me. You should be glad that I left. Otherwise, if I got hurt, it would be more severe than Evelyn, and the babies would be injured, too.”
Leopold picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee, “Because you knew in advance, that’s why you left in time.”
Aurelia was at a loss.
Wasn’t the big boss supposed to be highly intelligent? Why did he seem so clueless now?
“I’ve always been honest and straightforward, I would never harm anyone. Just now, Ms. Elowen came to me, saying that someone was impersonating her and bribed the waitress. If I were in cahoots with Ms. Elowen, why would I impersonate her? Even if I was willing, she wouldn’t agree. If Ms. Elowen did it herself, why would she need to partner with me? The more people who know, the more dangerous it becomes.”
A smirk formed on Leopold’s lips, in fact, whatever she thought of, he had already considered.
He was just teasing her.
Kevin was already investigating who spread the rumor.
“If it’s really a rumor, it will be clarified eventually, you don’t need to worry too much.”
As long as you don’t suspect me, Aurelia thought inwardly.
“I suspect that the person who spread the rumor is the real culprit.”
His thoughts coincided with Leopold’s.
“I’ll find out.”
“I’ll leave first then.”
She turned to leave, but he called her back.
