Chapter 66 I Was Blind

Aurelia tried her best to control her anger. “I was blind before, which is why I fell for your lies. Now, me your excuses and step aside,” she retorted firmly.

She listened to their conversation not out of hope for reconciliation, but rather to gauge the extent of their audacity.

Hearing their shameless pleas only reinforced her initial suspicions–they were just as shameless as she had anticipated.

Gina’s expression was grim. “Auri, what do you mean by that? What have we done to deceive you?”

She placed a hand over her chest, feigning deep distress at Aurelia’s accusation.

Curtis‘ once–handsome face drained of color. Recalling Melanie’s earlier warnings, he clenched his jaw and confronted Aurelia. “You’ve changed. You weren’t like this before. Could it be that everything Melanie said was true? Have you found someone else? Have you betrayed me?”

His voice rose to a near–ferocious roar as he spat out his accusations.

He couldn’t believe she’d betray him.

He had believed she would stand by him for a lifetime, only to discover she had willingly stooped to the level of being someone’s sugar baby.

“Auri, you’ve always been a good person. Are you really going to forsake the bond you and Curtis shared for so long? Even if you decided to end things, why resort to being someone else’s sugar baby?” said Gina, taking the moral high ground.

At that moment, she resented Aurelia. If a breakup was inevitable, it should have been her son to initiate it.

Even if they were no longer together, why should Aurelia ascend the social ladder when Curtis hadn’t found anyone else?

Gordon’s brows knitted together in confusion. “Are they delusional? First, the Leedons accused me of being Ms. Shaw’s sugar daddy, and now them too. Are they all out of their minds?”

He discreetly observed the shift in Matthew’s expression.

Matthew shot a cold glance in Gordon’s direction, as if questioning, “Are you even worthy?”

Gordon screamed,

Advancing in determined strides, he first pointed accusingly at Gordon before turning to Matthew. “Mr. Quigley, your assistant leads a scandalous private life, stealing other people’s partners.
