Chapter 170 Matthew Getting Jealous

Pearls

Xavier had just clocked in for work and before he could even sit down, a haggard–looking Aaron approached him.

Aaron was simply not a likable person.

“Do you need something?” Xavier asked, looking up at Aaron.

Aaron’s eyes were rimmed with red, probably due to a rough night he had the day before.

“I’ve already taken leave from the company,” Aaron said. “Starting from today, I’ll be coming to the office every other day.”

Xavier was running low on patience. “There’s no need to share your matters with me.”

“Of course it’s necessary. Do you know why I took leave? It’s because my mother was in a car accident and had to have an amputation. From now on, she’ll be bedridden and dependent on others for care. But Aurelia only visited the hospital on the day of the surgery and then disappeared these past two days. I can’t get in touch with her at all,” Aaron said, his tone somewhat frantic..

A car accident, an amputation? Xavier was slightly taken aback. “There’s no need for you to inform me about your family matters.”

“How can you say that? Aurelia is your sister, too. She’s my mom’s biological daughter. During this time, she should be by my mother’s side, taking care of her with all her heart. But instead. she’s nowhere to be found.” Aaron frowned deeply.

Xavier sneered. “Why didn’t you consider Auri as family before? Now that trouble has arisen. you want to guilt trip her? Do you think you deserve that? It’s up to you siblings to take care of your mom. If Auri wants to help, it’s because of her kindness. If she chooses not to, that’s completely justified.”

Aaron argued, saying, “But we all have our own jobs. We don’t have that much time. Auri is the only one-

Xavier’s face had completely turned cold. Aaron’s way of thinking had truly redefined Xavier’s perception of shamelessness. “Auri also has a decent job. In my opinion, it’s even more respectable than any job your family members have. If you have issues with your own thinking. don’t assume everyone else is as mindless as you all. If there’s nothing else, get lost. I have work to

do.”

Almost instinctively, Aaron retorted, “How could she be the same as us-

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he was stunned. It seemed that everyone in our family thinks the same way. Aurelia and Mel are different. She’s not like us. She doesn’t hold the same status, nor is she as important. So, no matter how much Aurelia sacrificed, we could turn a blind eye to her effort, even going so far as to take her for granted.

Aaron suddenly gained clarity.
