Matthew, previously deep in a restful sleep, was now sharply awakened. His face, normally relaxed in slumber, was now marked by a cold, stern expression.

Despite this, he maintained a firm hold on Aurelia, embracing her tightly in an effort to offer comfort. It was clear she was experiencing deep distress, seemingly caught in the throes of a terrifying nightmare.

Within the safety of his arms, however, Aurelia’s agitated emotions began to subside gradually, as though she was pulling herself back from the edge of a harrowing dream scene.

Matthew listened intently to her words, a note of solemnity in his expression as he heard her repeat, “I hate you all.”

He wondered if she was referring to Curtis and Melanie. If indeed she was, Matthew thought it trivial to deal with them–mere nuisances he could dismiss with a flick of his fingers.

However, he understood that Aurelia preferred to handle matters on her own terms. Opting for discretion, he decided it best to feign ignorance for the moment.

Eventually, Matthew, who had awakened and found himself unable to return to sleep, gradually drifted back into slumber, soothed by the steady rhythm of Aurelia’s breathing.

Particularly noticeable was the shift in office dynamics following the return of Xavier from a business trip. Those who once sought Aaron’s favor were now gravitating toward Xavier, relegating Aaron to a peripheral status within the company.

During his lunch break, concerned and desperate. Aaron made a call to Benjamin. “For the past two months, you haven’t transferred any money into my account. I’ve nearly spent all I have. Could you please deposit some more? Not much, just a million would suffice.”
