Chapter 79 Crystal Clear

“Does your home happen to be in the same direction as Mr. Quigley’s? Are they both in Juset District? If so, Mr. Quigley, perhaps you can give Angela a ride on your way home. Timothy arranged it directly.

Aurelia blinked.

She knew that Matthew owned many properties, and it seemed that Juset District was located near Quigley Group.

However, her residence was not on the way to Starry Sea Mansion.

“It’s out of my way. I live in Starry Sea Mansion.” Without any hesitation or need for an excuse, Matthew flatly refused.

Timothy was stunned.

Angela’s smile froze.

The others acted as if they hadn’t heard their conversation.

“Tll just take a taxi,” Angela said, clutching the limited–edition bag in her hand tightly.

Timothy also felt a bit awkward. “Let me take you there. I have an apartment in Juset District. You can stay there today.”

“Apologies for the inconvenience, Mr. Jagger,” Angela responded.

After Matthew got into Aurelia’s small car, a few people were taken aback once again.

“What brand is that small car? Is it a new limited edition model?” Levi asked, furrowing his brows. How could I not recognize it?

Angela recognized the brand. That car had been advertised on her show before. “A domestically produced new energy vehicle.” To what extent had he and Aurelia reached for them to ride in that sort of car?

“That’s Mr. Quigley’s secretary’s car, isn’t it?” Rainier spoke up.

His e

eyes sparkled with intensity. It seemed that Aurelia came from a humble background, feigning innocence and showing no desire to climb the social ladder. That was probably why Matthew was taking care of her. At least, that was what Rainier thought. Once Matthew grows tired of her, I’ll see if she can remain arrogant. A powerless woman is the easiest to control.

Timothy clicked his tongue. “I almost thought it was another limited edition.”

On the ride back, Matthew, who had a few drinks, was somewhat tipsy.

Her car was somewhat small. She didn’t notice it when she was alone, but when Matthew got in, the car seemed even more cramped.

“If you’re tired, you can take a nap first. I’ll wake you up when we get home,” Aurelia said, glancing at the weary Matthew.

Matthew lifted his eyelids to glance at her. “All right.”

Perhaps it was the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere in the car, coupled with the non–threatening demeanor of the woman beside him, that allowed him to let their guard down. There was no overpowering scent of perfume in the car, just a faint herbal fragrance, likely concocted by her, that had a calming effect.

Aurelia played some more soothing music. Matthew, who originally had insomnia, unknowingly fell asleep.
