Chapter 165
Chapter 165 Though they didn’t mention names, Aurelia instantly knew that they were talking about Millie and Jackson.
Millie was friends with Aurella and everyone knew about it. Hence, when Millie confirmed that Aurelia plagiarized in the group chat, a lot of people were convinced.
As a result, all these people had been summoned for a meeting with the management after what happened.
On top of that, Young Advertising clearly stated that Millie was the one speculating false information, so everyone came to resent her.
Kimberly, on the other hand, didn’t receive as much hatred.
Millie couldn’t control her temper and jumped into the conversation. “You are all praising him before you even see his face. Aren't you worried that you may be wrong? My boyfriend is nice to me, too.”
“No one is talking about you, so why are you arguing with us?” Someone replied and did not mince their words. Millie glared at her phone and continued typing.
Soon, text messages from her started popping up in the group chat.
“| don’t think you should keep talking about Aurelia. After all, Seth is in this group as well.”
“Besides, Aurelia only married her current husband after breaking up with Seth. If you are all praising her husband, Seth would be devastated. @Seth”
She even went as far as to tag him in the message.
Aurelia truly wished she could stand up and give Millie a piece of her mind.
Did they really have to tear each other down just because they couldn’t be friends?
Aurelia couldn’t help but sweat nervously, fearing that Seth might emerge and play the victim. Strangely, Seth didn’t respond for some reason, almost as if he had vanished.
Before Aurelia could think much of it, Kimberly spoke up in the group.
“| apologize for the misunderstanding caused by certain circumstances. | have clarified the situation with the boss. However, due to the confidential nature of the internal information, | can’t disclose the specifics. I’ve retained my position, and | apologize for the impact this has caused on Aurelia,”
It was internal news that Aurelia was being blamed for plagiarism, and Kimberly had promptly informed everyone in the building’s group. Now, she claimed that she wasn’t disclosing news about her because it concerned internal affairs.
It was stated that her position was retained, which implied she was innocent. Was this really an apology? It seemed more like a subtle self-defense. Following this, Kimberly continued with her passive—aggressive remarks. eljin
“| think Aurelia is very fortunate as well. Her husband is so generous. | wonder how many years of savings those dresses would consume. Looking at their interaction in the photos, I’d think they've been a couple for years. You can’t tell they just got married.”
The only thought in Aurelia’s mind as she read this was that Kimberly was truly vicious.
Since she couldn't temper with the project any longer, Kimberly had resorted to hinting that Aurelia may have started seeing Leslie while she was still with Seth.
Aurelia angrily typed a reply. “Why do you care?” However, before sending it, she held back. Leslie's words echoed in her mind.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
What was the point of arguing with Kimberly? The real trouble she needed to address was Kimberly herself.
Now that Kimberly had no power over her work, she resorted to spreading rumors about her personal life. To shut Kimberly up for good, Aurelia realized the best approach was to expose Kimberly’s private affairs in return. After a moment of consideration, she deleted the few words she had just typed and quickly wrote a sentence praising Kimberly.
“Kimberly, my husband and | are just ordinary people. Of course, we can’t compare to your high-profile pursuer with hundreds of employees in his firm. By the way, why hasn’t he visited you recently? Is he on a business trip and hasn’t returned yet? Didn’t he invite you for dinner?”
The high-profile pursuer Kimberly spoke of was actually Leslie. This was the topic Kimberly least wanted to be reminded of, and this instantly diverted everyone’s attention. “Who said he hasn't visited Kimberly? | just saw him downstairs a moment ago.”
This message was accompanied by a photo. It showed Leslie standing next to a car, only revealing his head. Despite the limited view, his impressive looks were evident.
The group chat exploded with excitement.
“He’s so handsome! He’s even more handsome than before!”
