Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 17 Matthew Enjoyed Self Deprecation

The assistant double–checked. “Mr. Leedon, the card number is correct. There truly are no transaction records.”

After ending the call, Gideon looked at his wife, eldest son, and adopted daughter, momentarily at a loss for words.

“Maybe it’s because Aurelia usually spends her boyfriend’s money?” A thought flashed through Melanie’s mind and she thought of Curtis.

“Her boyfriend, that little office worker?” Luna’s tone was full of disdain.

Melanie kept her head down, afraid that Luna would discover her secret relationship with Curtis. She nodded slightly. “Yes, I’ve heard from my sister that her boyfriend spends all his money on her. I happen to have his phone number, so I’ll call and ask if she has moved in with him.”

“Before she was even married, she spent a man’s money, and that’s not all. She even went to live with him. She’s completely tarnished the Leedon family’s reputation. She has no self–respect!” Aaron didn’t hide his disdain for Aurelia at all.

Melanie dialed Curtis‘ number. “Mr. Fletcher, may I ask, when you were seeing my sister, was she always spending your money?”

Curtis was somewhat baffled, but he still played along with Melanie. “Hmm… Yes, I’m usually the one who spends money. Is there a problem with that?”

“Didn’t

my older sister promise to repay you?”

“There was no distinction between us. Just a few days ago, I transferred a bonus of one hundred thousand that the company had just giyen me to her, claiming she had an urgent need,” Curtis blatantly lied.

Melanie was very pleased with Curtis‘ performance. She had her phone’s speaker volume turned up to the maximum so that her father and the others could hear it. “Is she living with

you now?”

Curtis fell silent for a few seconds. He had been searching for Aurelia everywhere, asking many mutual acquaintances, but no one seemed to know where Aurelia was. However… “Up until yesterday, she was living with me. However, when she asked me for money and I didn’t give it to her, she got very angry. Then, she ran away from home. Do you know where she is now?”

He guessed correctly that when Melanie made the call, it was definitely on speakerphone, with her father and others present nearby.

At that opportune moment, he understood very well what Melanie wanted to hear.

Between Melanie and Aurelia, he would naturally choose Melanie. After all, Melanie was more favored by the Leedon family.

After Melanie hung up the phone, she looked contentedly at the three people in front of her, their faces simultaneously cold and dark. “Aurelia kept asking her boyfriend for money, and I
