Chapter 10 Under My Control
He was interrogated by the police for most of the day.
Even when he presented evidence to prove his relationship with Aurelia, the police still didn’t believe him.
The evidence presented by Aurelia proved that he had borrowed money from her.
Upon seeing the hundreds of thousands on the card, he had absolutely no intention of returning it.
Curtis felt that Aurelia was merely being petulant with him. Recently, he had spent most of his time accompanying Melanie, seldom showing concern for
If she misses me, she should just tell me! Stirring up all this trouble, doesn’t she realize it might make me dislike her even more? With a belly full of anger, Curtis made another call to Aurelia.
Aurelia was on the subway when she received Curtis‘ call. Immediately, she felt a residual ache in her heart as if it had been forcefully torn.
Gripping the phone tightly, she answered the call.
Initially, Curtis thought that Aurelia wouldn’t answer the phone. However, to his surprise, she picked up as soon as he dialed. It became clear to him then
“My wife, have I been too busy with work lately, neglecting to spend time with you? Are you angry with me? Where are you now? I’ll come to find you imm that all right?” he asked.
By the end of the year, he could no longer find an excuse not to give it to her..
“My mother has always been kind to you, and you’re aware of her illness. My wife. I truly love
and all the money I earn in the future will be yours,” Curtis added.
Aurelia’s eyes were filled with hatred as she listened to Curtis‘ sweet talk. She then enunciated, “Curtis, you better pay back the money immediately. Otherwise, you’ll be receiving my lawyer’s letter. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Curtis thought he had misheard. “Huh? Did you hear someone say something? Since when have

Curtis stared at the phone that had been hung up on him. His face darkened, and he was gripping the phone tightly. “Aurelia, what kind of game are you up with you?” he grumbled and took a deep breath. It seems I must transfer the money to her. The police came to the office today, and if I were to receiv a letter from a lawyer soon after this, I would have trouble in the office. I’ll give her the money first. After that, I’ll get Mom to call in the evening to ask for
After he transferred the money to Aurelia, he texted: Honey, I’ve transferred the money to you. Don’t worry about my mother. I’ll figure out another solutio
A few minutes later, Aurelia received the notification of the payment being credited.
Staring at the hundred thousand, she was stunned for a few seconds.
Following that, she transferred ninety thousand to Phyllis, keeping ten thousand for himself.
After making the fund transfer, Aurelia texted: Mom, this is the money I saved from working part– time during my university holidays, plus what you usually give me. You have many expenses now, so please use this first.
Upon seeing the bank transfer notification and Aurelia’s WhatsApp message, Phyllis immediately called Aurelia.
“Auri, you haven’t been out of university long and are currently without a job. This is precisely the time when you need money. I’m now able to earn money, and your two older brothers give me money every month. I can’t accept your money. I’ll transfer it back to you. As a young woman, you s
Listening to Phyllis‘ genuine concern over the phone, Aurelia smiled and said, “Mom, I don’t need any money right now. You guys use it first. I’m about to
Phyllis looked at the disconnected phone call, feeling a sense of joy at her daughter’s filial piety. However, she had an intuition that Aurelia had encounte must get a clarification.
Phyllis had Luna’s contact saved on her phone.
She had never thought that one day she would disturb Luna, but it concerned Aurelia.
Needless to say, a mother could always sense that their children were in trouble.
Phyllis then took a deep breath and dialed Luna’s number.
“Phyllis? Why are you calling me?”
Luna had also saved Phyllis‘ phone number. At the time, she saved it out of respect for Aurelia, intending to delete it later, but she forgot.

“I didn’t call for any other reason. I just wanted to know about Auri’s situation,” said Phyllis. Luna could hear the condescension in Phyllis‘ tone and frown
However, the words that followed from Luna left Phyllis‘ face turning green with anger.
“Since you’ve asked, I must be frank. I don’t know how you’ve raised her, but Auri is too disobedient and naive! She even talks back to us, showing no re behaved and sensible as Mel, but what she did was utterly embarrassing for us! She ran away from home again these past few days, and did she go back to your place? Tell her that if she doesn’t return, we will disown her! Even if she does c apologize to us! Her attitude must be genuine. Otherwise, we definitely won’t forgive her easily this time,” Luna roared.
Phyllis‘ eyes welled up with tears as she listened, her entire body trembling.
She had always been kind to others and seldom spoke harshly. However, upon hearing Luna compare Aurelia and Melanie, and belittling Aurelia as wort
“Auri has always been sensible. She must have left home because of something you did. I raised her, so I know her. She would never do the things you’
With that, Phyllis hung up the phone and couldn’t help but shed tears. Judging by Luna’s attitude, it’s clear that Auri was not happy living with the Leedon
Meanwhile, Aurelia arrived on a street in Jacaster that sold antiques.
This street was home to everything one would look for.
Upon entering, it was as if one had journeyed back to an antiquated and quaint past..
That day, Aurelia carried a large bag on her back, inside of which was the antique painting she had taken from the Leedon residence.
Back then, that shattered antique painting was purchased for ten thousand from an old man who had a street stall on that very street.
Due to improper preservation, the scroll was in a state of disrepair, shattered into many pieces. It took her nearly three months to restore it.
Back then, the old man claimed that the painting was a legacy from his own grandfather, supposedly originating from the High Middle Ages. However, giv
