Every tap felt like a death sentence to Eva. Her face turned pale even before she grasped. the


    consequences.


    Eva licked her lips, her once stylishly tousled short hair now just looked like a mess. She gritted her


    teeth and stared at Aurelia. “Aurelia, you can’t…”


    “I can. Just because I’m the one who owns the ne now,” Aurelia said coldly. “Ms. Hanks, don’t


    forget, you and your colleagues confessed to Mr. rk that you wanted to test me, so you let me


    handle the ne. You’ve already broken the agreement.”


    Upon hearing this, sweat began to form on Eva’s forehead.


    But being familiar with the industry’s challenges, Eva promptly came up with an excuse for herself.


    “Even though I went against the agreement, how could I have known the ne would be so fragile?


    “Ultimately, it’s on you for being careless. You’re the main one to me here. Since you. own the


    ne now, you should deal with the consequences yourself.”


    “Ms. Hanks, you really surprised me. Is your magazine publisher all about twisting the truth?” Aurelia


    sneered.


    “Did I get it wrong? You’re the one who dropped the ne, right? I never event


    touched it.” Eva seemed to grasp the opportunity. Despite knowing she had broken the agreement, she


    still acted superior.


    “You didn’t touch it, but what about Flora? She just happened to run into Mr. rk outside, and I’m sure


    she spilled everything by now,” Aurelia remarked.


    “I’m not scared. What could Flora possibly say?” Eva frowned.

    Aurelia pointed out, “Ms. Hanks, can you please exin why I dropped the box, but it was. the


    ne that ended up on the ground?


    “Don’t tell me the bank’s safe deposit box isn’t secure. If you do, they’lle asking for answers


    tomorrow. With so many VIP clients, who would trust the bank if their safe deposit box wasn’t secure?”


    With Eva’s pressure bearing down on her, Aurelia spoke each word with conviction and Lorce, leaving


    Eva at a loss for words.


    Actually, Leslie had told her all of this.


    When they reviewed the CCTV and saw Flora opening the safe deposit box, Aurelia had a


    lot of questions.


    So Leslie exined the whole process of how the bank manages valuable items.


    Without Leslie’s broad knowledge, Aurelia wouldn’t have dared to imagine how wealthy people live,


    with their houses unable to amodate all their jewelry.


    But upon closer reflection, she realized her ignorance was unsurprising. Her whole family didn’t even


    have a bank ount with more than six figures. She didn’t even need to store items in a vault.

    Leslie also mentioned that whenever something from the vault, apart from the owner, there would


    always be professional security guards with the safe deposit. box itself.


    When needed, the safe deposit box could not only resist knives but also bullets. Aurelia managed to


    break such a sturdy box with just a fall.


    The securitypany must be cursing her out if that was the case.


    “So, Ms. Hanks, are you brave enough to confront me at the bank?” asked Aurelia.


    “You…” Eva stared nkly at Aurelia as if she were a stranger.


    Aurelia appeared to be an attractive but ordinary individual,cking any remarkable


    abilities.


    But she disyed no fear when confronted with scious rumors. Therefore, it was not surprising that


    she wouldn’t easily give up.


    Eva realized she had underestimated Aurelia.


    Before Eva could gather her thoughts, Lucia noticed the timing was about right and


    promptly stood up to Simmons, first of all, I’d like to


    put an end to themotion. “Ms apologize on behalf of the magazine publisher.


    “We’ll definitely take full responsibility for any issues caused by our magazine publisher.


    “However, Ms. Hanks is mainly responsible for the ne this time. As forpensation, I think


    you’ll have to pursue a im from her directly.”


    “Ms. Lawson!” Eva eximed, clearly frustrated as she nced at Lucia.


    “Ms. Hanks, do you really think the president would let you bring down the magazine publisher?” Lucia


    warned Eva.


    Eva was left speechless.


    But Aurelia raised her hand. “Wait a minute, Ms. Lawson, it doesn’t seem right for the magazine


    publisher to just get out of responsibility like that, does it?”


    Lucia frowned, her face showing displeasure. Everything was going Aurelia’s way. What more did she


    want?
