Chapter 36 As Pitiful As A Wounded Deer

With Aurelia’s Twitter account suspended, there was no way for her to post the videos. Consequently, she- couldn’t bring the truth to light.

At Xavier’s silence, Aurelia said, “I’ll find a lawyer.”

“Auri, the lawyers in Jacaster probably won’t take your case. The legal team hired by the Leedon family is quite renowned here. Even their PR team is formidable.” Xavier’s heart was heavy, his expression somber as he said that.

Aurelia held the phone in silence.

If someone were in her bedroom and saw how tightly she was gripping the phone, they would be able to perceive just how much hatred she harbored.

“Perhaps you should go and meet your biological parents and show them the videos. They might be able to help you and prevent this matter from escalating further,” Xavier. suggested.

That was also the solution his friends came up with after much discussion.

He knew that Aurelia had no desire to see her biological parents at this time.

Moreover, they were currently oppressing and bullying her without hesitation because of Melanie. If she were to seck them out, their treatment of her would not be favorable.

I’m not the same child who used to cry at the first sign of trouble. I’ll face these challenges with perseverance.”

She should have been able to handle these matters well, but unexpectedly, she still ended up causing her family worry,

On the other end of the phone, Xavier’s eyes also went red–rimmed after he had hung up.

After Aurelia had hung up the phone with Xavier, she received a call from Charlie.

When she had briefly explaining the situation, Charlie wanted to come and look for her.

She declined, simply asserting that she could handle the matter, telling him to focus on his work without worrying.

After hanging up the phone with Charlie, she glanced at the time and saw it was already half past six.

She changed and went downstairs, taking a cup of yogurt from the refrigerator.
