The “brats” Linda spoke of were actually Leslie’s cousins, the twin sons of Leslie’s uncle. They were


    the ones Leslie had sent to Aurelia’spany to handle the giarism incident.

    At this moment, the two of them were also the owners of the 50 million dor ne.


    Leslie climbed the winding stairs. A few momentster, cries and pleas echoed from the


    room.


    “Leslie, we were wrong. We really didn’t know Eva borrowed the ne to frame Aurelia,” pleaded


    the older brother, Nathan.


    “Since we’ve helped Aurelia before, please forgive us,” chimed in Nick, the younger


    brother.


    Leaning against the window, Leslie lit a cigarette. His gaze was cold, and he was clearly not satisfied


    with their pleas.


    Though young, they were eventually going to inherit their dad’spany. If they were so careless now,


    how would they handle things in the future?


    Nathan continued, “This ne was bought at auction for our mother. But she didn’t like it, so it’s


    been sitting in the bank vault for two or three years. Eva must have seen it at the auction house and


    wanted to borrow it to increase her magazine’s publicity, and we just…”


    “Her parents are regional CEOs, and they’ve had some dealings with our dad. We thought


    ould be mutual benefits and good rtions in the future. Who knew she had such


    evil intentions?” Nick added.


    Finishing their exnation, the brothers cautiously observed Leslie’s expression.


    They weren’t afraid of anyone in the family except Leslie. Because when he got angry, he


    could be merciless.


    Leslie exhaled a puff of smoke. “Is that all?”


    The brothers exchanged nces, then opened a drawer and handed Leslie a document.


    “Leslie, please ept this small token of respect, as our tribute to Aurelia,” Nathan


    offered.


    “Yes, yes. Aure is the best!” Nick echoed.


    Leslle nced at it and nodded. “Eva…”


    “Don’t worry, we’ll cooperate fully and make sure she can’t escape,” Nathan said.


    “The inte,” Leslie said.


    Nick pulled out another document. “The list is right here. We’ve been itching to ease Aurelia’s burden.”


    Leslie acknowledged them with a grunt. “I’m off.”


    “Take care, Leslie. When will you bring Aurelia over?” Nick blurted out.


    Nathan kicked him. How could Leslie bring her home when she didn’t even know Leslie’s identity?


    Leslie paused for a moment, then replied, “Soon.”


    With that, he left.


    Nick leaned closer to Nathan. “It looks like things are working out for them. I quite like


    Aurelia.”


    Nathan stroked his chin. “Indeed, Leslie seems different now. We wouldn’t see the end of the lecturing


    if this happened in the past. He’s be surprisingly considerate.”


    By the time Leslie arrived home, it was midnight. He thought Aurelia was already asleep, but she was


    actually lying on the couch.


    She jolted awake at the noises immediately.


    He frowned. “Why are you napping here?”


    Aurelia was a little dazed and rubbed her eyes. “I saw the food you ordered for me. I guess you


    wouldn’t eat given how busy you are, so I decided to wait for you to make supper.”


    He paused. “I told you not to wait for me.”


    She stretched and yawned. “You can’t cook, and going to sleep hungry isn’t good for stomach. You’ve


    been working hard and I’m basically unemployed now. I don’t have to wake up early tomorrow. Just


    wait. I’ll make you some soup.”

    He hummed in response and stared at her from behind, recalling what his mother said.


    There would be mundane things and surprises in life. Was Aure considered a surprise?


    Aurelia put on the apron and walked over to the kitchen. “Mr. Synder, Leon Synder called me today.”
