Aurelia nodded and whispered, “Go home. I want to be alone for a while.”
“Are you sure?” Leslie asked.
“Yeah.” Shebed her hair and stared at his shoes. She dared not meet his eyes, as she was unsure
of what he was thinking after seeing all the usations against her online.
Leslie didn’t say anything and turned to leave.
Aurelia could sense the tension around her and felt chills all over.
By the time she looked up, Leslie had already driven away.
She felt somewhat conflicted. She had gotten used to taking care of issues alone. Still, she felt
disappointed that Leslie left without hesitation.
She felt like a psychopath for chasing him away and then feeling disappointed about it.
Taking a deep breath, she went into the train station. To her surprise, someone
recognized her and started taking photos of her with their phone.
“Hey, aren’t you that nner from Young Advertising?” someone asked.
A few men suddenly surrounded her.
“What are you doing?” Aurelia pushed them away.
“You didn’t even care about breaking a piece of jewelry worth millions here taking the train? Did your
sugar daddy abandon you?” they jeered
They exchanged smiles and approached Aurelia.
why are you
Aurelia looked around helplessly, hoping to find someone to help. However, vasn peak hours and there
were only a few people at the entire station.
Others obviously didn’t want to get involved. They just nced up and then buried their heads in their
phones.
As the man in front of her reached out to grab her, she tightened her grip on her bag and was ready to
strike.
“I’m recording, so strike if you dare. I’d like to see what others have to say about you online,” he
threatened.
“Do you think holding a phone justifies your actions?” Aurelia red at him.
“In any case, exposing you is justified. What justice can you talk about when you are just a woman who
has relied on men all your life? Go ahead, hit me. The angrier you get, the more it proves what they’re
saying online is true. Otherwise, why would you get so worked up?” the man taunted.
They seemed eager to shove their phones into Aurelia’s face.
Aurelia felt her blood boil as her hands trembled. She felt trapped in an endless cycle of
trying to prove her innocence. Her anger was seen as guilt in others‘ eyes.
She stepped back slowly. Just as a man tried to take advantage of her distraction, there was a crisp
sound of bones cracking.
“Don’t insult men. A normal man wouldn’t take advantage of someone else’s misfortune. “Leslie’s tone
was cold as he twisted the man’s arm, before pushing him aside.
The man grimaced in pain and red at Leslie. “You’re not her boyfriend, are you?”
Leslie couldn’t be bothered with his nonsense and pointed to the overhead cameras. Shall we call the
police?”
The men were now afraid as they were indeed trying to take advantage of Aurelia earlier.
“Forget it, let’s go. Just you wait.” The injured man red fiercely at Aurelia before leaving with his
companions.
Aurelia held her bag, still somewhat shaken up from the ordeal. To prevent Leslie from worrying, she
forced herself to calm down. “Why are you here?” she ask

“Where else would I be?” Leslie pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, hi and polite. Still, the sharpness
in his eyes indicated he was very angry.
“I thought you had left,” she said gingerly.
Leslie narrowed his eyes and stared at her intently. “Are you done being alone now asked in a low
voice. It sent shivers down her spine.
Aurelia nodded. “Yes, I’m done.”
Leslie motioned for her to follow him as he said, “Let’s go.”
“Where are we…” Aurelia raised her gaze and paused after being faced with Leslie’s piercing gaze.
“he
The next moment, Leslie dragged her into the train and headed towards the direction of the hotel.
