Curtis‘ face turned even paler as he turned to look at Aurelia.
Her gaze bore into him with an icy intensity, like she was staring at a sworn enemy.
His heart plummeted; it was clear she harbored nothing but contempt for him. She no longer wanted him.
Feeling flustered, Curtis stammered, “Auri, can we find a quiet place to talk things over calmly?”
“There’s no need. Just stay away from me in the future,” Aurelia replied, her expression devoid of emotion.
Gripping the medical report firmly, she turned and left without another word.
As she passed by Matthew, she paused briefly, then turned toward Gordon. “Thank you,” she said.
“Of course, anytime,” Gordon replied promptly. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Gina scrutinized her son’s expression carefully. “If you can’t bear to let her go, wait until you’ve collected yourself before having a conversation with her.
“She has always loved me. This must be a misunderstanding,” Curtis muttered through clenched teeth.
Matthew, wearing a frosty expression, shot Curtis a disdainful glance before striding away.

Gordon was taken aback by the severity of the directive.

Matthew’s words meant that Curtis would be effectively blacklisted from all the companies and establishments in Jacaster.
Curtis would find it nearly impossible to survive in Jacaster.
Gordon stumbled upon a revelation: Matthew seemed to care a lot about Aurelia.
He was seeking justice for her.
When Aurelia left the hospital, Chad’s uncle, Jeremy, had already arrived to provide assistance.
Aurelia swiftly drove to pick up Xavier before they headed toward the film set.
However, upon arrival, they found the set cordoned off, barring entry to anyone.
Aurelia attempted to contact Charlie, but received no response to her calls or messages.
Perplexed, she asked the staff, only to discover they did not know Charlie at all.
Ever since Charlie joined the entertainment industry, he frequently assumed the role of a body double for the male lead, occasionally even securing part
“Let’s be patient and wait a little longer,” Xavier advised in a soothing tone.
Aurelia nodded, retrieving her phone to review her WhatsApp conversation with Charlie from an hour ago. She had clearly communicated the pick– up time, and Charlie had assured her of his punctuality.
Charlie had always been reliable in keeping his promises.
Normally, he wouldn’t ignore her phone call.
“Sometimes he gets assigned a part with lines. “This has happened before when I came to visit him. Let’s give it a little more time,” Xavier reassured her
Aurelia nodded, deciding to take a seat and engage in conversation. “Let’s wait and chat then.”
Xavier seized the opportunity to broach a lingering concern that had been weighing on his mind. “I’ve been meaning to ask, when are you planning to in
The sudden elopement of his typically sensible sister, coupled with her reluctance to divulge her husband’s identity, had left Xavier deeply troubled.
Aurelia knew Xavier was going to ask about that, and her gaze momentarily flickered. “There are certain things I’ve promised him not to divulge. But trus
She then thought of Angela and added, “In fact, I believe my marriage to him is nearing its end. Something happened recently, and we’ll probably get a d
“Flash marriage followed by a flash divorce? Do you even know what you’re doing?” Xavier’s frown deepened.
He’d be foolish if at this noint he still hadn’t noticed the underlying issues in Aurelia’s marriage.

“I’ll keep this between us, but if anything goes awry, you need to inform me right away.” Xavier was still uneasy.
Aurelia’s smile widened. “Absolutely! Tomorrow, I’m officially joining Norman’s team. Can you believe it? I’m one step closer to my dream, and it fills me
Xavier affectionately tousled Aurelia’s hair. “We’re all behind you. You’ve always been the bravest one in our family.”
“Congratulations, fearless Auri!” Charlie’s voice chimed in from behind them.
As they turned around, Charlie appeared behind them.
Assuming his role of a stern elder brother, Xavier asked solemnly, “Why didn’t you pick up when we called. earlier?”
“Oh, I didn’t notice. They suddenly pulled me in for a scene, so I couldn’t use my phone,” Charlie explained casually.
Aurelia noticed a wound on Charlie’s face, bruises forming beneath his eyes. “You’re hurt. How did it happen?”
Only now did Xavier notice, concern etching his features. “There are blood spots in your eyes. You should get that checked at the hospital.”
Charlie’s expression faltered momentarily before he brushed it off with a cheerful laugh. “It’s nothing serious. Just a minor mishap on set. A visiting docto
Charlie turned to Aurelia, changing the topic. “Auri, you’re incredible. I did some research on Norman’s team. Their recruitment criteria are pretty strict, but the pay is outstanding. They set the standard for the entire industry.”
