“Don’t use the name of Quigley Group. Think of another way to help her fight back. There are some things- she should want to do herself. 

After drumming his fingers on the table a few more times, Matthew 

up 

his mind. 

Although he didn’t like Aurelia and their marriage was merely a contractual agreement, she was ultimately his wife these three years. 

Even if she was his wife in name alone, he wouldn’t tolerate anyone blatantly bullying her. 

“Understood!” Gordon replied swiftly. 

Just as he was about to hang up, he couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked, “Mr. Quigley, have you fallen for Ms. Shaw?” 

“You’re reading too much into things,” Matthew said coldly. 

Gordon didn’t dare ask any more questions. Matthew had always been inscrutable, and considering the fact that Aurelia was favored by Mabel, perhaps he was merely helping her because of Mabel. 

At the Leedon residence, Luna stared at the disconnected phone and spaced out for a long time. 

Undeterred, she watched the videos Aurelia sent her again. 

Melanie was the daughter she raised since childhood, so she recognized her immediately upon watching the video. The person in the video was none other than Melanie. 

She had met Curtis once and had never taken a liking to him. Previously, she advised Aurelia to break up with him, but Aurelia was stubborn and refused to do so. Now, Curtis had actually hooked up with Melanie. 

Didn’t Mel say that she has nothing to do with Curtis and that Aurelia was slandering her? But what is this? 

As Luna watched the videos, her face was a mask of anger. 

With her phone in hand, she went to look for Melanie. 

Melanie was gleefully looking at her phone, discussing how to issue a statement with Curtis on WhatsApp. determined to make sure that Aurelia’s name would be dragged through the mud completely this time. 

At that time, Aurelia would have no choice but to do whatever she and Curtis wanted of her without a way

Upon hearing the door being pushed open, she turned and look back over her shoulder. 

“Mom?” 

“Mel, what’s really going on between you and Curtis? You even lied to me?” Luna demanded angrily, tossing her phone down at Melanie. 

Bewildered, Melanie put on an innocent expression. “What are you talking about, Mom? I don’t understand.”

Chapter 37 Has Matthew Fallen For Autella: 

Despite her words, she had already picked up Luna’s phone for a look. 

The screen displayed the chat interface between Luna and Aurelia.

There were two videos on it. She clicked on them and watched them one after another. As she did so, her panic grew. Where on earth did Aurelia get these videos? 

Noticing Melanie’s panic, Luna said in great disappointment, “I’m so disappointed in you. Curtis is nothing more than a broke kid with nothing to his name. How could you get together with him in secret? If these videos get out, how could you get together with Matthew? Tell me this–had you two ever been intimate?” 

Melanie’s hand that clutched the phone trembled uncontrollably. However, she quickly regained her composure. When she lifted her head to look at Luna, her eyes brimmed with tears. 

“I’m not sure what’s going on with these videos. At that time… it was Curtis who kissed me. He told me that he kissed me by accident back then, but I know he seemingly likes me. How… How could I possibly be intimate with him? Mom, trust me. I was just scared by what happened from yesterday until now, so I don’t know what to say, After all, my sister’s boyfriend likes me. I never wished for it either.” 

Following Melanie’s explanation, Luna’s furrowed brows eased. 

“Is that the truth?” 

“I wouldn’t lie to you, Mom. You watched the video, too. It was Curtis who kissed me.” Melanie bit her lip, her expression as innocent as ever. 

It’s merely two videos and can’t prove anything at all. They don’t include our conversation, so I can say whatever I want. Did Aurelia think she could turn the situation around by sending them to Mom? In her dreams! 

Luna breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good.” 

“Mom, Aurelia must hate me to the core. She loves Curtis hopelessly, but now, Curtis likes me instead, That’s why she’s trying to ruin me without mercy. Mom, I’m so innocent and wronged. Now that she sent you these videos, she’d never apologize online. Melanie looked both scared and upset. 

Luna sighed helplessly. “You are a victim, too. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s Curtis. As for your Aurelia apologizing. I’ll talk to her about it. After all, she’s the one who caused this mess. If she hadn’t involved herself with such a broke kid, there wouldn’t be so much trouble now?” 

“Will she still apologize?” Melanie’s eyes flickered, and she was slightly doubtful. 

Why do I feel that Aurelia has gone completely out of my control? She didn’t go to the hospital to donate blood, listen to Curtis, or come home. I wonder where she’s been living these few days. Argh! I hate this feeling of not being in control of everything! Aurelia is meant to be trampled under my foot! 

Luna frowned, her patience wearing thin whenever Aurelia was mentioned. “It’s no longer about whether she wants to apologize. She has no other choice.” 

At the rented house, Curtis stared at his phone. 

Melanie hadn’t responded to his message for several minutes. 

He looked at the statement he was composing on his phone.

Chapter 37 Has Matthew Fallen For Aurella 

Undeterred, he took another look at the comments online. 

Everyone was criticizing Aurelia right then.” 

They were all waiting for him to issue a statement. As soon as he did, it would be akin to indelibly stamping Aurelia as a villain.

Recalling Aurelia’s cold indifference toward him and the fact that she was no longer as easily appeased as before, he took a deep breath.. 

If Aurelia were backed into a corner, and I remained by her side, perhaps she would no longer dare leave me in the future. 

Suddenly, Melanie called. He immediately answered. 

“Curtis, you need to issue a statement immediately, right this instant. Do you know Aurelia has videos of us kissing at the mall?” 

“What? She even has videos, you say? If I issue a statement now, and she releases the video, won’t our lies be exposed?” Curtis was shocked. 

Suddenly, it all made sense. No wonder Aurelia suddenly became so ruthless. It turns out that she has discovered my affair with Melanie long ago. 

Melanie rolled her eyes. 

“She can’t do anything at all. Public relations is all about timing. We’ve already reported her accounts, Therefore, she can’t post anything or upload any videos right now. Even if her accounts were restored in a few days, we will still hold the upper hand. At that time, we can have someone rework the videos. Those two videos of hers won’t have any effect at all. Do you think the Leedon family’s PR team and legal team are for show?” 

Curtis was still somewhat uneasy. “Your parents are her biological parents. Would they sit back and do nothing as everyone condemns her?” 

The words “biological parents” stabbed Melanie like a knife. On the other end of the phone, her face tensed and contorted. 

“What does it matter if they are her biological parents? In their hearts, I am the one who matters most. Aurelia is nothing to them. Can’t you see that even now?” 

Convinced, Curtis agreed, “Okay. I’ll issue a statement immediately.”
