Chapter 153

Everyone looked in the direction Aurelia was pointing at and saw the clock. It was 1:20 pm. There were still ten minutes left before their lunch break was over.

Millie’s expression darkened. Instead of apologizing, she intended to just brush things aside. “I told you that it was an accident. What else do you want? Aurelia, you can’t just vent your anger on me just because work isn’t going well for you.”

In the past, Aurelia would have felt that it was unnecessary for any conflicts and would have just smoothed things over.

She also didn’t want others to think that she was simply venting her anger on others.

However, Leslie’s words earlier had inspired her. Even if she avoided trouble, it didn’t mean that trouble wouldn’t find her.

Instead of trying to resolve a troublesome situation, her efforts would be better spent getting rid of the people causing trouble.

She was also tired of Millie’s unprovoked behavior.

“What else? Compensate me. You’re dressed in brand-named products, so I’m sure you can afford to compensate me, right? Or have you gotten so used to spending other people’s money that you can’t bring yourself to spend your own?”

“What are you trying to say? Jackson and I truly love each other. Why are you bringing money into this? Anyway, it’s just two pastries. I’ll pay for them! You must be desperate for money!”

Millie took out her phone and sent the money to Aurelia.

Aurelia accepted it and glanced at her from head to toe.

“Truly love each other? Then, what have you given him? Why don’t you show it to us?

“For someone as wealthy as Jackson, you’d probably be too embarrassed to give him any gift below ten thousand dollars, right? I’m sure you aren’t one of those gold diggers they talk about online.”
