Chapter 185
“What?! “Aurelia jolted, “You think someone silenced them?”
“Who knows?” Elowen grumbled, “Yesterday morning, the waitress was released from detention. That night, she went to a bar with her boyfriend and after a few drinks, they drove into a tree. The car erupted into flames immediately. They were both burned beyond recognition.”
She paused, curling her lip, “The police ruled out foul play. They’re saying it was a simple traffic accident.”
Aurelia made a face, “If it really was an accident…maybe karma found them? Didn’t your mom send someone to question that waitress in the police station? Did they get any info?”
“That woman clammed up tight, insisting that I had orchestrated it all. No one else has approached her since. Whoever they are, they must’ve paid her a hefty sum to keep her quiet.” Elowen’s anger was palpable.
Aurelia sighed, “Now there’s no witness to your innocence. It’s going to be even harder for you to clear your
name.”
Frustrated, Elowen slammed her fist on the table, “The person who recorded the video is still out there. I will turn every stone until I find them.”
Aurelia handed her an alcohol free drink, to prevent her from getting too drunk.
The boss wasn’t in the office, so no one was there to drive Elowen home.
The worst part was, no one would pick up the check!
“Ms. Elowen, I’ll support you, no matter what.”
Elowen grabbed her drink, guzzling it down, “Do you know what Leopold is doing right now? He’s at the racecourse, sweet–talking with Evelyn. It’s driving me crazy!”
She had come straight from the racecourse, after being ruthlessly driven away by Leopold.
She pulled out her phone, playing a video she had recorded. Aurelia glanced at the screen, the two of them were riding the same horse, openly flaunting their relationship!
Her heart twisted, as if it had been stabbed.
This man, who came to the apartment every night to read bedtime stories to their babies, was a perfect father.
Yet during the day, he was all sweet and romantic with another woman, a loving boyfriend!
He was having the best of both worlds. And he said he didn’t inherit Mr. Chad’s flirtatious genes, but he was taking it to a whole new level!
She took a sip of her orange juice, it was so sour!
The intense sour taste spread from her tongue to her core.
she had never felt his tenderness. It only surfaced when he was with his sweetheart, and only Evelyn and her sister deserved his love!
She was unworthy!
“Ms. Elowen, you’re too passive in this relationship. Evelyn has made herself into the perfect replacement for Megan and that’s why she’s caught the boss‘ eye. You need to make him see the truth, Evelyn will never be Megan!”
Elowen slammed her hand on the table, “You’re right!”
Aurelia took a bite of her lobster, then changed her tone, “However, I think all of your uncle’s sons have inherited his flirtatious genes. If you want the boss to be faithful, it’s probably impossible. You better prepare yourself.”
This hit Elowen’s weak spot.
