Aidan, who was standing next to Callum, sneered and said sarcastically, “I’m really ashamed of your ignorance. Callum runs the entire EliteMart, okay?”
Cathy closed her eyes helplessly and nodded.
“Aurelia, how can I help you this time? You have offended Mr. Finnegan many times. How can I protect you?” Cathy thought.
As Aurelia glanced at the luxurious fifth floor, a silly smile appeared on her face. So, she was also the owner here?
Hah!
Seeing Aurelia grinning like a lunatic, people concluded that she had lost her mind.
And Rory…
He could understand Aurelia’s reaction when she found out that she was also the owner of EliteMart. However, she was not so happy that she went crazy. She was still relatively calm.
Briar felt that Aurelia must be possessed, so he bent down and lifted Aurelia onto his shoulders.
Aurelia was pulled back to her senses by dizziness. “Briar, what are you doing? Put me down! Damn it. What right did he have to say that to me… Ugh!”
What she wanted to say later was, “Callum, I am going to divorce you. Just sign the divorce papers quickly! We can go to the courthouse now!”
However, everything she wanted to say was covered up by Cathy, who came over to help Briar, while smiling at Callum and said, “Mr. Finnegan, I’m sorry. Something’s wrong with my friend today. We’re leaving now!”
What made her even more angry was that even Liana and Larry were apologizing to Callum. “Mr Finnegan, we’re sorry. We’re leaving now! Please forgive us!”
Ignoring the passers-by, Briar carried Aurelia to the underground parking lot and placed her next to his Mercedes. After a long while, she spoke breathlessly, “We should take her to the hospital immediately! She needs to see a doctor!”
A slap was heard. Aurelia endured the dizziness and jumped up to slap Briar. “I don’t need to see a doctor!”
Cathy grabbed the violent Aurelia and said, “I agree with Briar this time, Aurelia. You’ve been acting weird today, and you’ve gone too far this time! You’re messing with Mr. Finnegan!” After saying that, she clasped her hands together exaggeratedly and muttered to herself, “Oh God, I hope Mr. Finnegan won’t come after us!”
Aurelia leaned against the car, holding her forehead. “I need to go home now. I won’t be going to class this afternoon!”
“Skipping class again?” Larry frowned in disapproval. It was frustrating to say the least. He had known Aurelia for so long. Why hadn’t she become a good student? wasn’t it said that people got swayed by the company of others?
Aurelia opened the door of Briar’s Mercedes, got in the driver’s seat, and said without any remorse, “Yeah, I skipped class! Briar, your car… Forget it. Cathy, lend me your car!”
Briar’s Mercedes was worth millions, and Cathy’s sedan was worth more. She decided to use Cathy ‘s car!
Cathy took out her car keys and looked at her worriedly. “Aurelia, are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?”
Aurelia sighed. How could she explain to them that Callum was her husband? If she told them now, they would think she was insane.
“I’m fine. I was just too angry just now. Don’t worry, Callum won’t do anything to me.” She rushed back immediately, intending to talk to Callum at home about the divorce face to face.
She initially wanted to text Alfred and let him forward the text to Callum. The text went like, “Callum, it’s about divorce. I’ll give you one more day. You must come back to get a divorce!”
Thinking her words might be too harsh and being afraid that what happened today would involve her friends, she deleted the message and retyped, “Mr. Finnegan, please let my friend off the hook. I am sorry about what happened today. I will divorce you as soon as possible. If you have time, we will go to the courthouse today.”
No way… Aurelia was also very angry today. What happened today was not her fault. Why should she be so humble to him?
After struggling for a long time, she finally decided to call Alfred to get Rory ‘s phone number.
Meanwhile, Rory received Aurelia’s call. After Callum separated from Aidan, he was ordered by Callum to take Aidan home. He connected the Bluetooth headset and said, “Hello.”
“Hello, Rory. It’s me, Aurelia.”
Rory glanced at Aidan in the passenger seat before saying, “Oh, Mrs. Finnegan, hello!”
His words caught Aidan’s attention.
On the other end of the phone, Aurelia quickly said, “No, I won’t be Mrs. Finnegan very soon. Rory, please stop calling me that!”
“Well… But things between you and Mr. Finnegan haven’t been finalized yet, so the proper etiquette must be observed.”
“Fine… I just want to ask. Did he… tell you how to deal with me, or my friends?”
Rory remembered Callum’s instructions and answered truthfully, “No, Mr. Finnegan only told me to send Miss Monroe back.” Actually, Callum also asked him to investigate Aurelia, but Rory didn’t tell Aurelia about that.
Rory was puzzled. Normally, Callum would let him deal with a woman as annoying as Aurelia, but this time, he only asked Rory to investigate Aurelia.
Was this the charm of Aurelia? Did Callum have feelings for her?
After all, no men could resist beautiful women! Aurelia was pretty. Even without makeup, she was a sight for sore eyes! It was normal for Callum to like her.
Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief. In order not to trouble Rory, she asked, “Can you send me the company address later?”
It would be better for her to discuss the divorce with Callum in person.
After Rory agreed, Aurelia said, “Just pretend you don’t know me, so Callum won’t make things difficult for you.” After all, Callum was so stingy that he wouldn’t even go easy on her back in the mall. If he knew that Rory was helping her, he wouldn’t let Rory off the hook.
“But…” Rory wanted to refuse.
Aurelia had expected that he would not be so easy to talk to. She smiled and said, “Rory, if you can’t do as I say, then I will punish you as Mrs. Finnegan and tell Callum that it was you who suggested that I conceal my identity.”
“Mrs. Finnegan…”
“I’m sorry, Rory. I just had no choice. I’ll treat you to a meal next time when I’m free!” If Rory agreed to help her, Aurelia would repay the favor one day.
Rory was helpless. He couldn’t believe Aurelia would threaten him.
A cute girl like Aurelia, and a cold and ruthless man like Callum… Rory thought they actually looked perfect for each other. In order to prevent Callum from losing his wife, he felt that he had to intervene!
After the call ended, Aidan suppressed her impatience and asked indifferently, “Rory, is she Callum’s wife? What’s her name? Which family is she from?”
