Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 49 Did He Hit You

After Gordon left, he directly told Aurelia, “Mr. Leedon and Melanie are inside.”

Aurelia was somewhat taken aback.

Since the day of her reincarnation and leaving the hospital, she had not seen Gideon. Unexpectedly, he had come to Quigley Group today.

Just as she was about to say something more to Gordon, Gideon and Melanie had already emerged from the building.

At first, the two were somewhat uncertain if it was Aurelia.

Upon realizing it was indeed Aurelia, Melanie was evidently taken aback. “Aurelia, you…”

Could Gordon be Aurelia’s financial backer?

After all, Gordon was Matthew’s special assistant. In Jacaster, many people respected Gordon. Unexpectedly, Aurelia had sought out a financial backer like Gordon. Although he wasn’t an old man, then again…

However much respect others showed Gordon, he was, after all, just an employee.

“Auri, how could you…” Gideon began to question, but as the words reached his lips, he saw the lunch box in Gordon’s hand and held back.

Upon encountering such a situation, Gordon, usually adept in handling any situation, found himself somewhat at a loss. “Auri-”

“Go ahead with your work,” Aurelia told Gordon.

Gordon nodded and left.

He appeared rather aloof.

However, as soon as he turned his back to Gideon and the others, he immediately took out his phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Matthew: Mr. Quigley, when Ms. Shaw came to bring you stew, she happened to run into Gideon and Melanie who were looking for you.

Only after Gideon saw Gordon leave and enter the elevator in the building, did he put on the stern demeanor of a father. “Auri, what on earth has been going on with you recently? You’re not answering calls from family and even moved out? You’re really being too unreasonable and disobedient.”

“Aurelia, we’re all worried about you. The gossip on the internet are not true. How could I possibly be with your boyfriend? Please don’t misunderstand me,” Melanie said, maintaining her usual composure as she sipped her coffee.

Looking at the familiar faces of the two, a cold laugh echoed in Aurelia’s heart.
