Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 46 Pretending Not To Know

Standing in the middle, Matthew exuded an air of intimidation.

It made people fear meeting his gaze or harboring any contempt.

After sweeping his gaze around, he seemed to have made a decision to redevelop the plot of land.

“Is that… Matthew Quigley? Wow, we’re really lucky! If I weren’t married and only had eyes for my husband, I would have been tempted.” Nancy’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Matthew.

Suddenly, something came to mind.

She immediately turned to Aurelia. “Since you and Curtis have broken up, why don’t you consider working at Quigley Group? Then, try to win over Matthew and become his wife. If you marry into the Quigley family, your biological parents will surely regret their past actions. Also, look at Matthew’s physique. Everyone might be wearing suits, but he wears it the best. I bet he has a six–pack and a V–line, and those legs look so straight and strong. You’re absolutely stunning in terms of beauty. If you play your cards right and use a bit of charm, he might just fall for you.”

Aurelia looked at Nancy, who was lost in her fantasies, and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She was on the verge of blurting out that not only did she know Matthew, but they were also married.

However, having agreed to a secret marriage with Matthew, she decided to pretend not to know him.

“Even if I were to stand naked in front of him, he wouldn’t spare me a second glance. Let’s just quietly enjoy our barbecue, Aurelia asserted.

Nancy was relentless in her daydreaming. “If you were completely naked, even I would be seduced, let alone a man. All you need to do is strip down and lie on the bed. Any man would lose control of himself. Even if he were gay, he would be turned straight.”

“Your attention on me seems a bit intense. Does your significant other know about this?” Aurelia teased.

Nancy chuckled, stopping herself from daydreaming any further. How could Auri and Matthew possibly progress to the stage I have imagined? They don’t even know each other. Even if Auri really could get a job at Quigley Group, she and Matthew would be like two parallel lines, never intersecting. They are just worlds apart.

When she mentioned her husband, she made a face and said, “I should have gone out with you yesterday. He had a pile of work at the company yesterday and didn’t come home until the wee hours of the morning. It was a shame that all the dishes I prepared had gone cold. Alright, enough about me. Let’s talk about you. What are your plans for the future? Curtis has been looking for you everywhere. He even called me. Are you going to waver and forgive him?”

“No.”

Aurelia dropped the beef onto the grill, her eyelashes concealing the cold glint in her eyes.

“Hmm… I think Matthew seems to be looking at you,” Nancy said, her excitement palpable as she noticed. Matthew’s gaze sweeping over from outside the window.

murmured, “The way he looked at you just now seemed like surprise, and it was as if he recognized you. But you two don’t know each other, so I must have made a mistake. Let’s eat. It’s been a long time since we last came. Just the smell alone brings back old memories.”
