Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth
Chapter 230

Chapter 230

The manager stepped forward to open the door.

A pair of legs gracefully emerged, and a proud figure stepped outside. His imposing demeanor instantly captured the attention of the crowd.

After settling in, he adjusted his suit elegantly.

Coupled with his profound handsome features, he was practically the stereotypical prince charming of any romantic story.

Turning to the car, Leslie extended his hand.

Amid admiring gazes, Aurelia took his hand and stepped out of the car.

Clad in a white dress, her well–proportioned figure and charming features captivated all the men.

Kimberly’s fiancé and Jackson were no exceptions.

The combination of handsome men and beautiful women was a sight to behold.

What set them apart was their understated elegance, which was the true mark of wealthy individuals. They didn’t flaunt themselves like Kimberly and Millie, who were eager to showcase everything to others.

Yet, personal choices varied, and no one could say much.

Currently, everyone prefers to appreciate Leslie and Aurelia. No one spared a glimpse at Millie and Kimberly.

Millie tugged at Jackson, only to discover that he couldn’t take his eyes off Aurelia. Frustrated, she rushed to the manager and questioned, “Why do we have to wait for a parking space but they can park in front of the restaurant?”

The manager glanced at her and explained, “Madam, patrons with cars worth over one million dollars will receive this service when they come to this establishment. You can too.”

“Are you looking down on me?” Millie felt humiliated.

“Madam, you’ve misunderstood. It must be your first time here. This has always been our rule,” the manager explained again.

The phrase “first time here” tore Millie’s glamorous façade apart.

Fuming with anger, she turned to Aurelia and accused, “Aurelia, you have no money to pay for the repairs but plenty of money to rent such a good car. Where did you rent it?”

She deliberately emphasized the word “rent“, wanting everyone to hear it and embarrass Aurelia.

Aurelia, however, remained indifferent, stating, “My husband’s car is broken. This is his colleague’s car. By the way, don’t you want to know exactly how your boyfriend’s car got damaged? Would you

like for me to clarify things here?”

“Why you…” Millie was rendered speechless.

“Isn’t this a department gathering? Let’s go and eat,” Aurelia casually remarked.

Kimberly quickly stepped forward. “Of course, let’s eat. Our department hasn’t gathered in a long time. Let’s not ruin the atmosphere over trivial matters.”

She glanced at Jackson.

Jackson pulled Millie aside and greeted everyone. “Please don’t embarrass me. Don’t bring up the past. I’ve reserved a table. Let’s go in.”

Everyone ignored this brief exchange and went inside.

Aurelia didn’t want to ruin the mood of the gathering either, but she sensed that something was off with Kimberly and Jackson.

Why were the two of them being so understanding today?

The others obediently pulled their husbands or boyfriends aside to make way for Kimberly’s fiancé.

However, he remained frozen in place and gaped at Leslie.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Kimberly tugged at his sleeve. “What’s wrong?”

The man glanced at Leslie and then at Aurelia. “You… You’re his wife?” he asked in a trembling voice.

Aurelia nodded, confused. “Yeah. What’s wrong? Do you know each other?”

The man widened his eyes in shock and stuttered, “I–I…”

It was Ian, the eldest son of the Mulan Group.

Leslie shot him a cold, threatening look.

“No, I don’t know him. He just looks familiar,” the man said.

“I have a common face,” Leslie said.

Aurelia suppressed a laugh, feeling like Leslie was becoming increasingly humorous.

Leslie lowered his gaze at her. “Is this funny?”

She pursed her lips. “No. You are mistaken.‘

He didn’t say anything else and held her hand. “Watch your step.”

She nodded and allowed him to pull her into the restaurant.

Behind her, her colleagues all looked at her enviously.
