Chapter 335

Leslie heard the sound and walked to the windows, where he saw a figure on the adjacent terrace. It was indeed Aurelia. She stood alone and faced everyone else, like prey

surrounded by hunters.

Leslie hesitated, then turned and headed outside.

Daniel quickly followed, but just as they were about to step onto the terrace, Leslie held

him back.

“Mr. Synder, aren’t we going in? Mrs. Synder seems to be in trouble,” Daniel said nervously.

“She may seem soft, but she’s not one to compromise easily. We don’t know what’s going on. What good would rushing in do?” Leslie replied.

Leslie understood Aurelia’s character well. She disliked causing trouble for others. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Aurelia would feel burdened if she got help.

This might have stemmed from her upbringing. Being an only child, her parents loved her but didn’t spoil her. They had always taught her how to face problems on her own.

On top of that, she was smart. She could usually figure things out with just a little guidance.

Daniel nodded and stood outside next to Leslie to listen to the conversation inside.

Before long, they understood the situation. A necklace worth millions had been accidentally broken.

Daniel was worried. “Mr. Synder, considering Mrs. Synder’s current situation, she might struggle to compensate a necklace worth millions.”

Leslie pondered for a few seconds, then whispered, “Find out the origin of the necklace and keep a copy of all the surveillance footage here. Also, get a list of everyone present. A necklace kept in a secured briefcase shouldn’t break so easily. There’s definitely something wrong.”

“Got it,” Daniel replied before he turned to leave.

Meanwhile, some time had passed on the terrace. Although Aurelia’s expression remained determined, her hands paled from being clenched so tightly.

Suddenly, Eva’s triumphant expression changed as she stared at something behind Aurelia.

Before Aurelia could react, warm and reassuring hands wrapped around her clenched fist, causing her to relax involuntarily.

She paused and looked up at the person beside her.

“Mr. Synder? What are you doing here?” Aurelia asked softly.

“Business,” Leslie replied casually.

“I’m sorry, did I disturb you? I can handle this myself,” Aurelia said.

“No, it’s done. We’ve signed the contract,” Leslie assured her.

“Really? Well, congratulations then,” she said before withdrawing her hand hesitantly.

Someone like Leslie was destined for success. To Aurelia, the thought of the 50 million dollar necklace made her scalp tingle. Even if the responsibility was shared, the compensation would be substantial. She felt like she was holding Leslie back.

Leslie looked at his now empty hand with confusion. He was about to speak when Eva lost patience.

Eva stared at Leslie, clearly enticed by his looks. “Who are you?”

“Leslie Synder. Aurelia’s husband,” he said.

“You are Leslie? The two of you are married?” Eva was shocked.

Wasn’t Leslie the man Cynthia had been pining for? Was he married?

Leslie sensed something amiss. “Do you know me?” he questioned.

Eva regained her composure and steeled her resolve.

At this point, there was no going back.

It was even better for Leslie to replace out what a mess his wife made. A mere programmer couldn’t possibly pay 50 million in compensation.

Couples were only meant to be loyal when nothing went wrong. Perhaps she could resolve a big issue for Cynthia.

‘As you see, your wife broke a piece of jewelry that we borrowed. It costs 50 million. Which one of you is going to pay for it? If you refuse, I will call the police,” she

threatened and raised her phone to dial the police’s number.

She sighed at Leslie. “Mr. Synder, I feel sorry for you. You have a promising future, yet you’ll have to bear such a big debt because of this woman. What will you do from now on?

She refused to believe that Leslie would protect Aurelia despite her effort in sowing

discord between them.

However, Aurelia didn’t give Leslie a chance to speak and stood before him to race Eva.
