Aurelia remembered that a long time ago, she went shopping with Liam and saw a similar scene. She bought a power bank worth more than 100 dollars for a beggar but was scolded by Liam.
Liam said she was stupid and shouldn’t meddle in other people’s business. Would Callum scold her like Liam did?
She ducked her head for a long while before she asked tentatively, “I spent 830 dollars on a cleaning lady. You don’t mind, do you?”
The walking man stopped and looked at her deeply, saying, “Aurelia, do whatever you want. I don’t care how much money you want to spend. We are family, and you don’t have to walk on eggshells around me.” If he had been there just now, he would definitely not let Aurelia act like a bad person in front of the young couple.
He would handle this matter in his own way and make Aurelia a good person.
Aurelia looked up at the expressionless man and was deeply moved. It might be because of his words “do whatever you want”, or it might be because of his words “we are family”.
In fact, Aurelia had always been tiptoeing around Liam and his family before.
Not knowing where she got the courage from, she stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Callum on the cheek. Finally, she whispered, “Thank you.”
This gentle kiss seemed to tug at Callum’s heart. He raised the corners of his lips imperceptibly and took her hand to leave the mall.
On the way, Aurelia suddenly asked the man driving, “Why haven’t I seen Rory recently?”
Callum glanced at her and said lightly, “His current work location is not in Evercrest.”
Aurelia didn’t sense anything wrong and nodded stupidly to show that she understood.
The next morning, Aurelia received a call from Briar. “Sheridan Buddy, I have turned down the job my friend found for you.”
“What? Why did you do that?”
“You don’t have to go to work, so I turn it down for you!”
“Why? I need a job!”
“Aurelia, you are the Madam of the Finnegan Clan now! Why are you still working? Are you crazy?” Briar thought Aurelia must be insane.
Whether she went to work or not had nothing to do with whether she was Madam of the Finnegan Clan.
She just felt bad for spending Callum’s money. If she worked, even if she didn’t earn much, she would feel more at ease if she could be financially independent.
“What kind of job is it? I want my job back!”
“If you want to do a part-time job, you can only work as a waitress in a coffee shop. Are you sure you want to go? Forget it. I’ll call your husband first and ask him. You don’t have the final say now!”
Aurelia stopped the man who was about to hang up the phone speechlessly, “Don’t call him. Don’t bother him with such a small matter! Anyway, I have to go to work!”
“Fine.” Briar couldn’t refuse and gave in.
What Briar didn’t expect was that Aurelia got into trouble just two days after she was there.
The manager of the cafe called and said that Aurelia beat up a customer. Yet Aurelia failed to acknowledge the mistake she had made and said indignantly that the male customer was a scumbag who was cheating on three women at the same time!
Briar had to find her another job in a supermarket as a cashier. But within three days, Aurelia beat up the manager again! She still didn’t realize her mistake, saying that the manager was bullying others by taking advantage of his power.
After finding her several jobs, Briar became frustrated. Finally, Liana helped Briar out and suggested, “Aurelia, come with me to sing in a bar! With your singing, you can make a lot of money in one night!”
Aurelia thought this was feasible! Briar almost fell to his knees when he knew that. If Aurelia could fight with people in supermarkets and coffee shops, she must stir up trouble in chaotic places like bars!
Fortunately, the bar was one that one of his friends frequented, so Briar could go over and watch her from the side.
However, Aurelia faced a problem. That was, Callum had to give her extra lessons every night, so she couldn’t come out to sing every day.
Finally, Briar stepped in and told the manager that Aurelia could come when she was free and her salary would be paid by the hour. Problem solved.
Fortunately, Callum was also very busy. For example, tonight, she received his message early and knew that he couldn’t tutor her at night. Now Aurelia could go out to sing!
Briar was there personally the first two nights, and apart from a few people confessing their love to Aurelia, no one dared to hit on her.
On the third night, Aurelia won over everyone present with her recently popular song. The DJ next to her even confessed his love for her, shouting, “Aurelia, be my woman! I love you!”
Amid the screams, Aurelia directly told the DJ, “I’m married!”
But Aurelia didn’t wear a ring on her wedding finger, so no one believed her.
Her other song “Stay Here Forever” caught some people’s attention.
In the VIP area on the second floor, a man holding a drink stood up from the sofa. He walked to the French window and looked coldly at the woman singing on the stage on the first floor, gradually narrowing his eyes. When did she come to the bar to sing? How come he didn’t know?
If Callum hadn’t come here for something important tonight, he wouldn’t have set foot in what he considered to be a small bar.
Aurelia didn’t sense the danger yet, singing in ecstasy, “Cause if you wanna go, Baby let’s…”
If he hadn’t heard her sing this song, Callum might not have noticed Aurelia. Callum was chilled when he accidentally heard the DJ confess his love to Aurelia.
After the song was finished, there was a burst of screams from the audience.
Someone asked Callum to sign a contract, so he had to let Aurelia get away for the time being. However, he didn’t expect that Aurelia would cause trouble just as he was signing the contract.
Aurelia came down from the stage. A man next to her was holding a freshly poured vodka in one hand and a stack of dollars in the other. He looked at Aurelia with his lecherous eyes and said, “Come on, baby. Finish this glass of wine, and you can have all the money!”
Aurelia looked at it with disdain. There were only several dollar bills. A cup of vodka cost more than a thousand dollars. She would not drink it!
She sang for more than an hour, but only got a thousand dollars! But, singing was not harmful to the body, but vodka was!
The man was a little embarrassed and annoyed by the disdain in her eyes. He took out another wad of money and threw it on the table, yelling, “Drink!”
This stack was quite thick! Aurelia was also very straightforward and drank the vodka in the cup without saying a word.
The man sneered with satisfaction and let Aurelia drink the second cup amid everyone’s screams. Liana, who was singing on the stage, was a little anxious watching this scene and wanted to contact Briar. But Briar, who was sitting and kissing a beautiful woman just now, had gone.
