In the WhatsApp group, the message came from the “Light Chaser”. “Callum is really my husband!
Another sentence popped up below, and Briar cursed again, “This idiot!”
Because in the next sentence, “Light Chaser” said, “But recently I’m trying to get a divorce!”
When he saw Cathy and Liana in the group calling Aurelia stupid, he felt relieved. All women who didn’t want to be Madam of the Finnegan Clan were stupid!
Inside the Finnegan family’s villa.
Aurelia, who was asked to clean up the living room as punishment, threw the cans into the trash bin with one hand and replied to messages with her phone in the other hand. “You don’t understand, we got married not because of love. I don’t love him, and he doesn’t love me. I’m still young. Why can’t I get a divorce?”
Cathy had already jumped out of bed when Aurelia sent the first message! Her hands were shaking with excitement, and she sent a stunned expression after a long while. “Aurelia, are you really stupid? In today’s society, you still want to talk about love? Be realistic! Although you don’t love each other, Callum is rich, handsome, and powerful. These three things are enough for you to be happy for the rest of your life!”
Aurelia sat on the sofa speechlessly, watching Liana’s message. “I just realized that I often go shopping at EliteMart with the woman of EliteMart’s boss.”
When Larry learned Aurelia actually married the cold Callum, he was taken aback. “Aurelia, think about it carefully. With your personality, only someone like Mr. Finnegan can conquer you!”
After seeing this, Aurelia became more determined to divorce. She didn’t want to find a husband to take care of her for the rest of her life!
Briar finally managed to utter, “Aurelia, if you get a divorce, you’d be a fool!”
Aurelia threw her phone on the sofa in frustration. Why didn’t they support her divorce? After a long while, she took out her buzzing phone again and texted, “You guys go to bed early. Callum has never agreed to a divorce, so it’s useless for me to think about it!”
The group chat immediately became quiet, with no one replying a single word.
Aurelia didn’t know what to say.
She wanted to break off the friendship!
Before going to bed, Aurelia sent a few more words into the group chat. “Be sure to keep this a secret for me!”
At about midnight, Briar, who had just finished playing video games, texted, “Don’t worry! I’ve called in a tip to the news, and tomorrow morning the whole world will know that Aurelia is the Madam of the Finnegan Clan!”
Cathy looked at her phone dazedly and typed a few words. “Don’t disturb my sleep! Good night!”
…
Aurelia didn’t get any messages then.
The next morning, Aurelia looked at the several fashion items in her closet and regretted it.
Why did she foolishly buy fancy clothes to wear for Callum? Wasn’t it better for her to just continue to live her own life rather than pleasing others?
She took out the wrinkled casual clothes and a pair of white shoes from the closet and put them on before going downstairs.
Callum had already finished his breakfast downstairs and was sitting aside watching his tablet. When he saw her coming downstairs, he said, “Get up half an hour earlier next time.”
“Why?” She sat down at the dining table, took the coffee Mary brought out and took a sip.
“Stops you from staying up late at night!”
Being manipulative again! Aurelia said angrily, “What does it have to do with you if I stay up late? Did I say a word when you were fooling around with another woman?”
Callum suddenly raised his head and stared at her closely. Aurelia felt uneasy. “Why are you looking at me? Is there anything wrong with what I said?”
“Are you jealous?” Women around him were just pretending to be nice to get close to him. If Aurelia didn’t like it, he would pay attention to it in the future.
Aurelia was a little at a loss for words when he asked this question. “I… I… am not jealous!” she said to him while also assuring herself.
Callum looked away and continued to look at his tablet without saying another word.
Aurelia looked at her favorite coffee, not knowing what was wrong with her, and said sullenly, “If you want to marry another woman, just tell me. I’ll leave immediately!”
Callum put down the tablet in his hand, walked over to Aurelia, grabbed her wrist with force and brought her into his arms.
Mary was still in the kitchen. Aurelia blushed and struggled. “Mary… Mary is watching!”
Ignoring her resistance, he explained, “I don’t want to marry another woman. Appearing with them is part of my work, nothing more. Do you understand?”
“Alright! I understand!” He said it from such a close distance. How could she not understand?
He nodded in satisfaction and suddenly said, “There’s a coffee stain at the corner of your mouth.”
Huh? The subject changed so quickly that she couldn’t react for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she stuck out her tongue and licked the coffee stain at the corner of her lips.
But the man was one step faster. He tightened his arms around her waist, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
Aurelia finished her breakfast and drove out of the villa on her scooter, ignoring Callum who was following her out.
Even when she reached the traffic light one kilometer away from the villa, her face was still burning.
Callum was a dangerous man, very good at picking up girls.
Bang! A slight sound brought her back to her senses. A bottle was thrown out from a Lamborghini, rolled on the ground several times and finally stopped next to her scooter.
Aurelia glanced at the red light and saw thirty seconds left.
She got off the scooter, picked up the bottle, and knocked on the window of the Lamborghini. The window rolled down, revealing a woman’s face. Wearing sunglasses, the woman was sitting on the passenger seat. Judging from her dress, she must be a nouveau riche.
It was obviously a high-end dress, but she chose a very vulgar color. The long wavy hair that fell on her shoulders was dyed golden yellow, and she wore big hoops on her ears.
A man in his 30s or 40s was sitting in the driver’s seat, and both of them looked at Aurelia in confusion. Aurelia stepped back, threw the empty bottle into the air, raised her right leg, and kicked the bottle into the luxury car.
The bottle even accidentally hit the woman on the forehead, but Aurelia didn’t care!
“It’s not your fault that you have no manners, but you’re embarrassing yourself!” After saying that, there were only three seconds left on the red light. Without giving the people in the car a chance to speak, she got back on the scooter, started the car, and left.
When Aurelia arrived at the school, she saw the other four people waiting for her. As soon as they saw her, they immediately surrounded her.
Cathy patted Aurelia’s head with an admiring look on her face. “You are the Madam of the Finnegan Clan after all. Are you not afraid of losing face by riding a scooter only worth thousands of dollars?”
Aurelia took off her helmet and looked at her speechlessly, “Don’t forget that we chose this scooter together, and you liked it very much at that time!”
Cathy said exaggeratedly, “If I knew your identity at that time, would I accompany you to buy a scooter? Ferrari, Lotus supercar, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, or Maserati, what else can’t you afford?”
