The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 72 Despicable. 

“You!” Melanie exclaimed, rising to her feet in anger. 

How had she not noticed before that Aurelia was so eloquent?

Originally, Luna was pretending to be sick, but her face still had some rosy color. However, after hearing Aurelia’s words, her complexion turned rather unsightly. 

“Enough! Such unfilial behavior! Do you even know what you’re saying?” Gideon rebuked angrily. 

“Mother was ill, and not only did you show no concern, but you even spoke so harshly. Who on earth taught you to behave like this?” Benjamin asked in a stern voice. 

Aaron opened his mouth, wanting to say something. Suddenly, he remembered what Xavier had said. Looking at his family in front of him, a thought emerged in his mind. Had they been treating Aurelia poorly all this time? 

Aurelia’s gaze swept over the Leedon family’s men before finally resting on Luna. Her eyes were cold, devoid of any emotion. “I thought you called me back because you had a change of heart and decided to let me inherit the family fortune.” 

Also, the Leedon family was suppressed by Quigley Group. Wouldn’t it be long before the size of their company would gradually diminish? 

She really didn’t value such a small amount of property. 

Luna was so eager to speak that before she could utter a single word, she choked on her own saliva due to her haste, leading to a fit of coughing. 

“Mother.” Melanie hurriedly went to pat Luna’s back gently. 

“You have no right to covet the Leedon family’s fortune,” Spencer said through gritted teeth. 

Their family fortune, a portion of which belonged to Melanie, none was allocated to Aurelia. 

Although Gideon was quite upset, he still managed to keep his composure. “Spencer, stop talking.” 

Aurelia slowly lifted the corners of her lips, looking at the people before her. She no longer harbored any feelings for that family. They were simply not worth it. 

“Keep your Leedon family’s possessions well hidden,” Aurelia said with a sarcastic smile. “Even if you were: to force that tiny piece of land, no bigger than a fingernail, upon me, I wouldn’t want it.” 

Benjamin had been staring at Aurelia, sizing her up. Seeing that Aurelia was completely different from before, and her attitude toward them was one of genuine disgust, his face turned sour. “What is your relationship with Mr. Zeller?” 

“Isn’t that overstepping?” Aurelia retorted. 

“I am your second brother. I have the right to know who you associate with,” Benjamin asserted with an elder brother’s authority. 

If that had happened at the company, whenever Benjamin lost his temper, the employees would

However, Aurelia raised an eyebrow, “When the Leedon family was busy trying to ruin me by buying trending searches a few days ago, where were you? Did you fall into the toilet? Were you deaf or perhaps blind? Now, you suddenly appear wanting to play the role of my brother. Isn’t that despicable?” 

Benjamin’s face turned ashen. “Do you even understand what you’re saying? If you had just apologized sincerely today, we could have put all your past mistakes behind us. You could have moved back in, and we could have considered you as part of the family again. However, since you’ve returned, what have your done? You didn’t admit your mistake but instead confronted us, speaking without restraint. Don’t forget how you tried to please us when you just returned home. Do you now want to throw all your previous efforts away?” 

“Enough, Benjamin. You should also hold your tongue. After reprimanding Benjamin, Gideon said to Aurelia, “There were misunderstandings between us in the past. You are my daughter. No matter how many mistakes you’ve made, I can forgive you. However, could you please speak less now and come to see your mother? She’s fallen ill because she misses you.” 

Since the hard approach didn’t work, he was planning to try the soft one. 

“Auri, come here. Let me take a look at you. You’ve only been away from home for just over a month. How have you lost so much weight? Are you having a hard time out there? Come back home,” Luna said, her eyes reddened, her words laced with worry for Aurelia. 

If it had been in the past, Aurelia would have believed it. 

In the past, in order to make her endure the discomfort and go to the hospital for a blood draw, the pretense Luna put on in front of her was even more genuine than it was at that moment. 

Aurelia stood motionlessly in front of the door as a WhatsApp message from Gordon popped up on her phone. 

Gordon had taken photos of a few items his parents had collected at home, hoping she could help take a 

look. 

As she examined the photo, she casually remarked, “No need for games or tricks in front of me. I’ve seen them all, and they’re almost all the same. Just tell me what you want to do.” 

Indeed, the items that Gordon had helped his parents with were all good things. 

It was their Zeller family’s heirloom. 

Gordon: My mother told me to wear this bracelet, claiming it would help her hold her grandchild sooner. Isn’t that belief a bit mystical? I’m waiting for you to say it’s superstitious, then I’ll screenshot it and show my mother. 

A lengthy message came from Gordon. It was evident that Gordon was often pressured to marry for 

various reasons. 

Aurelia was amused and laughed. Then she magnified a bracelet to take a closer look. 

It was a bracelet that the ancestors of the Zeller family had blessed. Indeed, wearing it was believed to bring about abundant blessingy and offspring. 

She tapped on the screen of her phone. It’s not superstitious. It could indeed help your mother to get a grandchild sooner. There are no other issues. Continue to keep it. 

Gordon was dumbfounded, handing his phone to Matthew, who was sitting in the car with him. “Mr.

Quigley,” he said, “I feel like Ms. Shaw’s career has been sidetracked by her restoration of antiques. If she were to become a geomancer, no other geomancers in Jacaster would stand a chance.” 

Matthew merely glanced at the phone handed over by Gordon. 

In the chat interface between Aurelia and Gordon, she responded to Gordon more frequently than he did 

to her. 

He looked intently at Gordon. “Do you often chat with her privately?” 

“Not often. We only chatted a few times.” Gordon was preoccupied with the thought of whether the bracelet could bless him with many children. He thought of his father, who had five sons, which seemed quite impressive! 

Matthew took out his phone. On the clean interface of his WhatsApp conversation with Aurelia, her responses to him were often just a single word: Mhm. 

The attitude was quite indifferent. 

Last night, he didn’t manage to return to Starry Sea Mansion. Recalling how she had brought up the topic of divorce yesterday, he gently tapped on his phone screen. 

Originally, he was lost in thought, but inadvertently, a voice message popped out. 

After responding to Gordon, Aurelia lifted her head to look at Gideon, who wore a face of disappointment. 

Schemes? Is that how you view us? When did your heart become so dark? Did your adoptive mother say something to you? They want to drive a wedge between you and us. You need to have the ability to discern the truth. Don’t be fooled by them,” Gideon said angrily. 

With tears in her eyes, Luna said, “I am your mother. You are the child I 

arried in my womb for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. How could you think so ill of us? How could you think so ill 

of me?” 

“Aurelia, you’ve gone too far!” Melanie felt that she could no longer understand Aurelia. Could it be that Aurelia truly didn’t want to return to the Leedon family? Compared to Phyllis, the Leedon family is wealthy. Is Aurelia foolish for not wanting to do everything possible to stay in this affluent family and instead choosing to return to her adoptive mother to live a life of hardship? 

Suddenly, the WhatsApp voice messages started playing. 

Aurelia was somewhat taken aback when she saw Matthew’s voice message request. He usually made phone calls or, at most, asked questions on WhatsApp. Why did he suddenly send a voice message? 

Fearing that something might have happened to Matthew, she listened to the voice message. 

Who sent Aurelia a voice message at this time? Everyone turned their gaze toward Aurelia..
