Chapter 74

Aurelia rose from the table, excusing herself to the restroom.

Avery took a sip of his apple juice, murmuring, “Once I start making money, Aurelia won’t have to work this hard.

After my illness, we drained our savings.

Mom and Dad lost their jobs, and it’s all on Aurelia’s shoulders now.

She must’ve borrowed a lot of money for my treatments.

When I have money, we won’t have to worry about debt collectors hounding her.

”

Arnold was shaken.

He had never heard Aurelia mention any of this.

He hadn’t realized how much she’d been enduring alone.

“Avery, if you and Aurelia ever find yourselves in trouble, you must tell me immediately.

In Elysium, there’s nothing I can’t handle.

”

“Okay” Avery nodded.

He could tell Arnold was a powerful man.

Knowing he was by Aurelia’s side made him feel at ease.

Aurelia emerged from the restroom, but as she rounded a corner, a strong arm pulled her into an adjacent

room.

She opened her mouth to scream, but when she saw the cold, handsome face, her voice caught in her

throat.

“Mr.

Leopold, what are you doing?”

Leopold’s gaze fell on her shoulder, icy and sharp as a blade.

That’s where that pest had touched her.

“Who’s that pest?”

His anger made her shiver.

“What pest?”

Leopold gripped her shoulder, his fingers scraping her skin.

She winced in pain.

“If he dares to touch you again, I’ll cut off his hand!”

Only then did Aurelia realize who he was referring to.

She used all her strength to shake off his hand.

“You’re the pest! That’s my brother, my own flesh and blood!”

Leopold paused, finally recalling the call from Laura last night about her brother’s arrival.

But his anger did not subside.

“So the moment your brother arrives, you can’t wait to introduce him to Arnold?”

“Who else should I introduce him to, you?” Aurelia retorted with a cold laugh.

Every word was like a bullet hitting its mark.

Their relationship was something that couldn’t stand the light of day.

Leopold seemed to be hit by her words, a nerve in his heart twitching.

“Your relationship with Arnold sure has progressed quickly.

You went from being casual friends to confidants?”

Aurelia scoffed.

“Isn’t Evelyn also one of your dear friends, Mr.

Leopold? Or is it that you can do anything you.

want, but the rest of us aren’t allowed?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

This fearless defiance sent Leopold into a furious rage, his temples throbbing.

He suddenly leaned in, silencing her protests with a fierce kiss.

“Mmm…”

She was both embarrassed and furious, her fists raining down on his shoulder.

But he did not let go.

Instead, he deepened the kiss, his invasion becoming wilder.

She began to struggle for breath, her brain was gasping for oxygen, and she no longer had the strength to fight.

She collapsed into his hold, allowing him to carry out his “punishment“.

It was a long while before he released her, the desire in his eyes still not extinguished.

“Regardless of whether our relationship is public or not, you are my wife in the eyes of the law.

If you dare to cross the line, you’re done for!”

His voice was hoarse and icy.

She shivered, coming back to her senses.

She glared at him, her face red with embarrassment.

“And what about you? Do you get to do whatever you like?”

His gaze fell upon her swollen, bloodshot lips.

A mocking smile appeared on his face.

“You can also make demands of me, but it depends on whether you’re capable of it.

”

Her courage and dignity were shattered by his words.

When she looked back up, her eyes were calm.

“I don’t care.

Do whatever you want.

In five months, we’ll be divorced anyway.

You can go your way, and I’ll go mine.

We won’t have anything to do with each other.

”

At the mention of divorce, Leopold’s mouth tightened, a discomfort tugging at his heart.
