When Aurelia went downstairs, she sent Phyllis a message, letting her know that everything had been sorted out and there was nothing to worry about. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
She then reassured Xavier that all was well, promising to fill him in on the specifics once everything was settled.
Following that, the few of them proceeded to the police station.
Inside the police station, Benjamin’s gaze kept shifting back and forth between Aurelia and Zayne.
Aaron and Spencer were present, as well as the production team.
This crowd made the police station feel incredibly cramped.
The police patiently recorded their statements one by one.
Zayne glanced at Matthew’s instructions on WhatsApp. A small smirk formed on his lips as he looked at Aurelia.
Aurelia felt somewhat confused by Zayne’s glance. “Do you have something to say, Mr. Luther?”
Zayne replied, “It’s nothing.”
Even if Matthew didn’t explicitly say it, his actions always demonstrated that he would never let his opponents off the hook.
Aaron was seated next to Melanie. When he and Spencer saw Aurelia, they were instantly filled with rage.
How dare Aurelia call the police? The Gardner Group is causing such a commotion over a mere employee. How unbelievable! Things just aren’t going our way recently. How detestable!
Originally, Aaron felt somewhat guilty towards Aurelia. But now, he felt no guilt at all.
Instead, they felt that Aurelia was being overly dramatic.
Worried that Melanie would be frightened, he gently reassured her in a low voice, “Don’t be scared, Mel. Nothing’s going to happen.”
Melanie wasn’t afraid, with so many people around. After all, if anything were to happen, her three older brothers would handle it. What she couldn’t wrap her head around was how Aurelia managed to earn a million from Norman monthly, especially when Aurelia had just started working.
Additionally, Benjamin mentioned on the way that today’s incident would leave the Leedon family and the production team in a rough spot. The reason was Zayne, the lawyer.
Zayne is a member of Quigley Group. If Aurelia can hire someone from Quigley Group, could it be that my

previous speculation is correct? Aurelia and Matthew…
Melanie bit her lower lip, feeling indignant.
From the corner of her eye, Aurelia noticed how intimate Aaron and Melanie were. Their interactions were slightly different from before.
One would notice it upon closer inspection.
Recalling Curtis’s previous remark about the relationship between the two and how Benjamin and Spencer seemed completely oblivious, Aurelia scoffed inwardly.
The Leedon family is thoroughly rotten to the core.
After the statements were done, Zayne insisted that the Leedon family and the production team apologize to Aurelia.
After hearing it, both Aaron and Spencer found it unbelievable.
“The one in the wrong was Aurelia. Why should we be the ones to apologize? After my mom got into the car accident, it was she who evaded responsibility. We were left with no other choice but to seek help from the production team. She’s the one who should be apologizing!” rebuked Spencer angrily.
Aaron’s expression was grim. “Auri, you shouldn’t have done this.”
It’s already embarrassing to end up at the police station. What on earth is she planning to do next?
He was truly disappointed in Aurelia!
They are both girls, yet why can’t Aurelia measure up to Mel? Mel is always well–behaved and sensible, never causing any trouble at home. But Aurelia is different! She insists on bringing trouble to the family! She makes things so troublesome for everyone. Is it really that hard to listen to us?
Zayne experienced how shameless the Leedon family was firsthand. Matthew had told him not to let Aurelia engage in excessive conversation with such scum, as it would only serve to taint her
ears.
Tsk! He’s scared that Aurelia’s ears would be tainted, but what about my ears?
He turned his head toward Aurelia. “Leave this to me. Ms. Aurelia, you may go ahead and leave.”
Aurelia nodded. Not sparing Aaron and his group a glance, she headed straight for the exit.
“Wait!” Benjamin suddenly called out to stop Aurelia.
Aurelia turned her head to look at Benjamin.
“Why don’t we just end things here? We’ve decided that you don’t need to go back and take care of Mom. Just visit her in the hospital and spend some time chatting with her. After all, we’re family. We can discuss and resolve any issue together. There’s no need to involve lawyers and

Before saying these words, Benjamin clenched his teeth, as if it was torture to say them out loud.
However, perhaps because he was still wary, he eventually bowed his head and uttered these words.
“Benjamin, have you lost your mind? Why are you apologizing to her? We did nothing wrong. It’s all her fault!” Spencer widened his eyes in disbelief.
Aaron frowned.
Meanwhile, Melanie seemed to be ill at ease.
“Shut up and stop talking!” yelled Benjamin immediately.
They are too slow to react. Can’t they tell that the people Aurelia had invited over are not to be trifled with? Now that we’re up against representatives from Quigley Group, we can only restrain ourselves to smooth things over. Otherwise, we might encounter unexpected troubles.
Spencer was also quite shocked.
Aaron’s already solemn expression turned even more grim.
With an ambiguous smile, Aurelia looked at Benjamin. “If you have any issues, discuss them with my lawyer.”
The production team nearby didn’t dare to utter a word.
At this point, they were utterly puzzled.
Since the show started, they had dealt with their fair share of difficult individuals. However, this was the first time someone had sued them.
Moreover, the opposing lawyer was really formidable!
Before the show was fully recorded, let alone broadcast, it had already stirred up a whole lot of trouble. They didn’t even know what to do.
Moreover, the director was also completely confused at the moment.
Before Aurelia left, she had taken note of all of their expressions.
She had just started work today when this incident occurred, leaving her in a bad mood toward the Leedon family and the production team.
Without a doubt, it was clear that the production team had accepted some form of incentive from Benjamin and the rest. They coordinated an ambush early in the morning.
Aurelia walked straight out of the police station.
The muscles in Benjamin’s face suddenly tensed, while his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

As Melanie watched Aurelia depart, the look in her eyes shifted. She walked toward Zayne while pretending to be a vulnerable victim.
She asked softly, “Mr. Luther, how much did Aurelia pay you?”
She simply refused to give up.
Why is Aurelia so lucky that she can catch Matthew’s eye?
Without a doubt, either Aurelia had spent a fortune to hire Zayne or she had promised him some benefits.
As for the benefits, one could easily guess that it was her beauty.
Zayne’s gaze was icy as he scrutinized Melanie. “No comment.”
Biting her lower lips, Melanie said, “I was just asking. Do you really need to be so heartless? Besides, we can match any offer that Aurelia can make.”
Zayne averted his gaze immediately. He had encountered numerous two–faced, pretentious. b*tches in his career. The manipulator standing before him now was of no particular significance.
Seeing Zayne completely ignore her, Melanie felt indignant. Her eyes reddening, she turned to look at Aaron.
Feeling a pang of sympathy for Melanie, Aaron walked over and gently reassured her, “There’s no need to talk to him. Regardless of how much money Aurelia spent on hiring a lawyer, we did. nothing wrong today.”
Just as Aurelia stepped out of the police station, her phone rang. It was a call from Matthew.
