Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Aurelia felt resigned but didn’t rush to inquire about Millie’s situation as she had done in the past.

The distance between them had grown, and there was no turning back.

Seeing that Aurelia ignored her, Millie returned to her seat and burst into tears.

The other colleagues heard her crying and approached.

“Millie, what happened to your face?”

Aurelia thought Millie had put an end to her relationship with Jackson, but was proven wrong once again.

“I fell on my own. Jackson didn’t care about a car worth hundreds of thousands. He even wanted to take me to the hospital, but I refused. These minor injuries aren’t worth that much money.”

She meant to say that she was worth hundreds of thousands in Jackson’s eyes.

While others knew exactly what happened, Millie was still living in her own fantasy.

The others exchanged knowing smiles with clear disdain in their eyes.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Still, Millie chose to ignore it and continued.

“Don’t forget to choose the place for Wednesday’s dinner. Jackson asked me to tell everyone to go all out.”

“Sure, sure. Mr. Morrison is so generous. Don’t worry, Millie. We’ll definitely avoid places with potatoes. You’re probably sick of those by now.”

Millie’s expression darkened, but she didn’t dare to retort.

Being hit by Jackson and then having to show off in front of colleagues, she couldn’t face the consequence of her bubble shattering.

They didn’t continue this topic and shifted, “By the way, why hasn’t Kimberly come today?”

“Check her social media. She said she was sick and getting an IV drip in the hospital. But she’ll definitely attend the Wednesday gathering. Looks like she has a new target again.” A colleague winked.

Aurelia opened Kimberly’s social media account curiously.

While she was on the phone with Leslie, Kimberly posted an update.

A needle was inserted into her hand, but a large hand was clearly visible in the photo.

It was a man’s hand.

Both of them had couple rings on their fingers, so this was practically an official announcement of a relationship.

Kimberly was indeed skillful.

The colleagues continued.

“I heard from people in other industries that after the incident with the authorities, Kimberly’s uncle’s bids failed. He got so angry that he asked her to quit work and get married.”

“Is this man her fiancé?”

“Don’t know. We’ll find out on Wednesday.”

Everyone looked forward to Wednesday, and suddenly the topic shifted back to Millie.

“Millie, Kimberly is getting married soon. When will you and Mr. Morrison get married?”

Another colleague chimed in, “Stop messing around. Millie and Mr. Morrison are hardly reaching the stage where they would consider marriage.”

Millie froze.

Worried that others would think that Jackson didn’t want to marry her, she forced a smile.

“We are aiming for marriage.”

“Good.”

The others smiled and went back to work, while Millie touched up on her makeup.

Aurelia frowned and got back to work.

Next Monday was One Technologies’ opening ceremony.

All the equipment and products would be taken to the venue for checking today to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

One Technologies’ founder was indeed generous and provided sufficient funds to book the entire venue ahead of time.

This allowed Aurelia more time and space.

Just as she was about to contact the technicians, she saw a new post on her social media feed.

Seth’s colleague, who usually only posted about his company’s products, posted a photo of Seth.

Seth looked defeated as he carried a box filled with his personal items.

It seemed like he had been fired.

None of that mattered to her any longer.

Exiting the application, she was about to make the phone call when the technician beat her to it.
