Aurelia remained in her car, not making a move to exit. Instead, she focused her attention on the vehicle that had been trailing her.

It appeared that the driver of that car had noticed they’d been detected. After a brief hesitation, the figure within stepped out.

It was Angela, her heels clicking gracefully on the pavement as she approached. Her outfit was impeccably stylish, exuding both sophistication and a sharp intelligence.

Seeing Angela again, Aurelia’s face hardened. Has she been shadowing me since the golf course?

Determined to uncover Angela’s true intentions, Aurelia decided to keep a watchful eye on her.

By now, Angela had reached Aurelia’s car.

“How long have you been following me?” Aurelia inquired with a cool demeanor.

Angela, unflustered by her cover being blown, responded calmly, “From the golf course to here, it’s probably been about three hours.”

Aurelia gave a light chuckle. “And why exactly were you following me?”

“You should be able to guess. I followed you because of our last encounter. There was a misunderstanding between us, and you let Mr. Quigley overhear our conversation,” Angela explained. “This has led to a rift between Mr. Quigley and me, and he’s since distanced himself from the Sanders family. It’s said that the person who created the problem is responsible for resolving it, Ms. Shaw. No one but you can help resolve this situation. Whatever you ask for now, I will comply. The hundreds of thousands last time, that was my mistake, and I apologize for it.”

Angela’s approach, even in seeking help, carried a subtle arrogance. Despite everyone placing the blame on her, she refused to diminish her pride in front of Aurelia.

It was the first time Aurelia had witnessed someone spinning the act of stalking into something almost commendable, let alone the audacity Angela displayed in asking for assistance.

Didn’t the previous debacle serve as a cautionary tale for Angela? Shouldn’t a presenter remember such important details?

“I can’t help you,” Aurelia stated firmly.

Angela’s brows knitted together in frustration. “The properties you’ve been viewing today are quite modest for Jacaster standards. This indicates that Mr. Quigley hasn’t invested much in you, and you’re not that significant to him. You could be discarded at any moment. If I were in your shoes, I’d seize any opportunity while it
