Marco’s words surprised Aurelia, and she immediately looked at Jacob,

Even Jacob himself immediately came to his senses from his burning lust.

Aurelia thought, “What does he mean by going into the room together and taking a rest to sober up? It is obvious that he wants me to sleep with

Jacobl

He even put the keycard in front of her. She thought that even if Jacob had the urge to want her, it was improper for the secretary to make such a

suggestion!

Therefore, Aurelia immediately looked at Jacob and wondered if the foremost childe in Nuthana had the same intention as the secretary said. She thought that if that was his intention, then Jacob would not deserve her any effort to pave for her success in the future.”

When Aurelia looked at Jacob, he also immediately glanced coldly at Marco, who decided on his own accord. He cursed inwardly, “Damn it. There’s no such person who will speak in such a way. Fuck! You’ve embarrassed mel Even if I wanted to sleep with her, I had my own way of making her come to me in person. I don’t need such a straightforward and stupid way to invite her.”

Seeing Jacob’s cold gaze, Marco knew that he was ruined things with good intentions.

Thinking about it again, that speech was indeed shameless and brainless. People who knew the situation would think that Marco was deciding on his own accord. However, those who didn’t know about it would think that Jacob wanted to force Aurelia to sleep with him by using his identity after meeting a beautiful woman.

Marco thought, “I’ve made a big mistake! I’m sure I’ll be fired after what happened today. I’ll be considered getting blessed if Mr. Miller doesn’t punish me harshly. What should I do?”

In such an instant, Marco’s forehead was covered with sweat!

At the same time, Aurelia sighed unsurprisingly internally when she understood that the keycard was not Jacob’s intention.

“I knew it. After all, he was the second generation of prominent officials. Jacob will not be so insane even if he can’t handle tasks properly”

“Moreover, he is the foremost childe in Nuthana. If he really wants to sleep with me, there are many flawless ways to get me. Why will he use such a vulgar and completely ridiculed way?”

However, even if Jacob did not mean that, now that the keycard had been taken out, if she refused him to his face, that would be another issue.

To put it simply, even if both sides knew that Marco had done the wrong thing on his own accord, his speech also represented behalf of Jacob’s dignity since the latter was present and had heard it.

Could Jacob ruin his dignity in front of Aurelia? Of course, the answer was no.

Then, the situation in front of her would become very interesting. Jacob simply tacitly agreed with Marco’s mistake and went with the flow as he wanted to see Aurelia’s attitude toward it.

Jacob’s action was to keep the pride of the scions and the rules in the circle. Other than that, he also had a thought of wanting Aurelia, which led him to go along with the mistake Marco made.

Initially, he did not mind letting Aurelia come to him by some other means. However, it would take a while for it to happen. Now that that fool had done such an insane thing, he just took advantage of that mistake and went with the flow. So he could happen to get an experience of that woman’s scent for him to know whether she had a nice fragrant as he imagined.

Moreover, he was sure that Aurelia would not refuse him in that situation if she was smart enough.

After all, once she refused, it would humiliate him completely and offend him forever!

What was the most important thing about men? It was dignity!

As the foremost childe in Núthana, Jacob viewed his dignity as more important than himself!

For a moment, Jacob and Aurelia did not say anything. They both looked at each other’s faces and eyes. The atmosphere in the private room was extremely quiet!

Aurelia knew that she had no other choices.

There were only a few of them in the private room. If she did not reveal the situation to others, so did Jacob and Marco, no one would know what happened that day in the private room according to common sense.

However, in fact, when anything involved the dignity of the scions, it could not be judged by common sense.

In law, everyone was equal. [Declaration of Independence) also stated that people were born equal, but in reality, the statement was just bullshit. People had been faced with inequality since they were born. It was like the state would differentiate the officials from the civils, which was actually a hierarchy of classes.

She thought, “What are the standards to determine that you should be an official while I can only be a civil person? It is the people from the upper–class foundation to determine the level of treatment enjoyed by future generations, isn’t it?”

Jacob undoubtedly had a better fate than her, so he was the state governor’s son. She could only temporarily be a miserable woman. There was

nothing for her to say or to blame about it.

From Aurelia’s point of view, she naturally did not want to compromise. However, she needed capital to be firm in her stand. She was convinced that her capital to resist power would gradually increase with her efforts after rebirth, but now was not the right time for her to do so.

Jacob was undoubtedly exerting invisible coercion on her with the advantage of his identity.

If it were her previous life, she would have rejected the foremost childe in Nuthana on the spot by slamming the door out to humiliate him,

Aurelia had her pride. However, she and Michael, with her whole family, would be in trouble and would not live in peace in the future after her rejection. and humiliation.

This time, she had sworn to make her family live a happy and safe life and let herself lead a less tragic and miserable life. Life was full of compromise. No matter how high the position and power were, there would always be higher status and more powerful people oppressing her. Who could make their stand clear? Who had a greater dignity than whom in their life?

Jacob was a smart man and also a skilled person. Now, let alone his human nature, she had to give up and compromise since the matter had been

used as an opportunity to test her.

In the current atmosphere, she should nod in agreement with that “good suggestion” of taking a short rest.

Not only did she have to agree, but she also had to agree from the bottom of her heart. She should give a sense that the idea was good and that he was being considerate.

It seemed like the time had frozen for a second or one minute, but no one would count it.

In short, when the air seemed like running again in the private room, Aurelia’s tender fingers had graciously picked up the pure golden keycard with a bright and gentle smile on her face.

She nodded at Marco, who looked pale in sweat.

“Thank you for your thoughtfulness! I happen to feel a little dizzy. I think Mr. Miller is also a bit drunk. If he goes out like this, it will be easy to catch a cold by the wind. If the two of you can trust me, why don’t you hand over Mr. Miller to me? Let me help him upstairs and have a rest together. What do the two of you think?” Aurelia said.
