Finally, she found an opportunity and said, “Let go of me first…”
The man sneered, stopped what he was doing, and put his forehead against hers. When he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, “You are so young to do such a thing. How much money do you need? Name a price!”
He didn’t lack money.
Aurelia clenched her fists and took countless deep breaths, trying to suppress her anger. She smiled softly. Her smile, coupled with her messy hair and hot breath, made Callum feel she was extremely beautiful and captivating.
“One hundred million.” She hissed the three words almost through her gritted teeth.
The man raised the corners of his lips, his eyes colder. “Are you worth it?”
When saying this, the man might not have thought that not long after, he would be willing to spend hundreds of billions just to please Aurelia, but unfortunately, she ignored him.
Aurelia laughed in anger, “Mr. Finnegan, I haven’t finished talking yet!”
“No need for the rest. Let’s see whether you can satisfy me first!” Knowing that she had nothing good to say, Callum did not give her a chance to speak.
Damn it!
Aurelia tried to smile, putting her arms around his neck and pressed her body against his body. As the atmosphere in the room was getting amorous, Aurelia took advantage of the man’s unpreparedness, raised her right knee, and hit him hard on his vulnerable male part!
Apparently, the pain Callum was experiencing was beyond words. In his state of agony, he closed his eyes and gradually bent over.
This time, Aurelia smiled from the bottom of her heart. Anyone who took advantage of her would have to pay! “Mr. Finnegan, what I wanted to say just now is, even if you give me 100 million, I won’t spend a night with you! Goodbye!”
Ignoring the man’s pale face, she shook off his hands, opened the door, and left Callum behind.
Some day in the future, Aurelia might wish she hadn’t messed with Callum today.
Not far from the room, Elliot, Renata, and Briar were waiting anxiously for Aurelia with the security guards. If Aurelia didn’t come out after a few more minutes, Elliot would rush in.
“Aurelia!”
“Sheridan Buddy! Thank God, you finally came out!” Briar ran over and hugged her. The next moment, as if he thought of something, he pulled her out and looked at her again. “Did Callum do anything to you?”
“No,” she answered simply.
Callum was the one who should be concerned about now. Haha!
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Renata took Aurelia to another room to change her clothes. After that, she and Elliot sent them off the cruise ship.
“Have a good rest when you go back. As for Callum, I’ll put in a good word for you when I get the chance!” Given what happened tonight, Aurelia had irritated Callum. Although Elliot didn’t know what had happened when they spent time alone, he was sure that Callum would come after Aurelia.
“Thank you, Mr. Richmond, Renata. And I’m sorry for the trouble we’ve caused today. We’ll go back first!” Aurelia felt a little embarrassed. It was all because she was too impulsive. If she had just ignored Callum’s words, she wouldn’t have ruined the party.
“It’s okay. Leave it to me. Go home and have a rest!”
“Thank you, Mr. Richmond. Goodbye!”
After Briar’s Mercedes drove off. Renata took Elliot’s arm and said, “Elliot, why don’t you tell her the truth?”
Elliot thought of Aurelia’s confused look countless times and found it funny. “It’s not the proper time.”
“Alright.”
Elliot took Renata’s hand and returned to the party.
When Elliot found Callum, he was sitting in a dark room, smoking a cigarette, and looking out the window without saying a word.
“Callum, she’s still young. Go easy on her.”
Callum was silent, because it… was still hurt.
After a long while, he replied, “I’ll consider it.”
Nodding reassuringly, Elliot didn’t get the meaning behind his words.
Jim’s investigation was very fast. Even though the hacker was very professional, Evelyn, the culprit, was caught within two days.
She was directly expelled from school and was told that she would never be recruited again. No school dared to accept students expelled from Evercrest College of Economics and Management. In other words, Evelyn’s academic career was over.
This incident caused quite a stir in the school, but Aurelia was not too surprised when she heard about it. Only a moron like Evelyn would make the video and play it at the ZL Group’s new product launch conference.
“What goes around comes around,” Aurelia said inwardly.
But thinking of her aunt made Aurelia sigh dejectedly. She must be sad about Evelyn’s situation.
As expected, when she arrived at the Malice family, Evelyn’s father, Frederic Malice, was throwing a fit. “How could I have such a stupid daughter like you? Look at what you have done! Now, not only is your future over, but my company has also been targeted by Mr. Finnegan because of you! Not to mention that you have always given Aurelia a hard time. I can’t believe you even dared to provoke Mr. Finnegan.”
The servants led Aurelia into the living room. Evelyn covered her face and curled up on the sofa, sobbing. Vanessa Sheridan, wearing a long green windbreaker, lowered her head and held her forehead, looking exhausted.
Aurelia uttered softly, “Uncle Frederic.”
Hearing her voice, Frederic stopped talking. He turned around and saw Aurelia with a slightly guilty expression. “Aurelia, you’re here.”
Vanessa stood up from the sofa, took Aurelia’s hand, and looked at her with concern. “Aurelia, how are you? Have you been…”
Aurelia knew what she was asking about, whether it was her confession to Callum or what happened on the cruise ship, since anyone gossiped about her.
She shook her head and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Evelyn, “What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me? Get out! You are not welcome in our house!”
“Evelyn, shut up!” Frederic was furious. Evelyn was spoiled. That was why she didn’t know her place and made such a stupid move.
Frederic’s anger made Evelyn shrink in panic, but she still looked at Aurelia with resentment in her eyes.
If it weren’t for Aurelia, she wouldn’t have offended Callum and gotten expelled from school.
Aurelia ignored Evelyn’s glare, walked to Frederic, and tugged at his sleeve, saying, “Uncle Frederic, don’t be angry. It’s not good for your health.”
When Aurelia was very young, she knew that Frederic suffered from high blood pressure and myocardial infarction.
Frederic sat down on the sofa behind him and sighed heavily. When would Evelyn become mature like Aurelia did? No, he would be thankful if Evelyn was half as thoughtful as Aurelia was.
“Aurelia, don’t try to butter up my parents. No matter how much you try to please them, they are still my parents. Your father died a long time ago, and your mother abandoned you.. Ah!”
A slap was heard.
Evelyn screamed in shock and pain.
