Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 111 Stop Pretending Finished She had asked him for help dealing with the Leedon family, and in return, she would massage his head to- relieve his headaches.

He had been away on a business trip these past couple of days, and she had been so busy that she completely forgot about the promise she had made earlier.

Feeling a bit embarrassed for being so slow to realize, she immediately put down her phone, got out of bed, and went to knock on Matthew's door.

No sooner had she knocked on the door than it swung open.

Matthew was about a head taller than her. As soon as he opened the door, he looked down at her..

This was the first tthat Aurelia had knocked on Matthew's door.

Although the two individuals lived under the sroof, they each had their own rooms and seldom ventured into each other's space.

This was a first.

His room, much like his persona, was decorated in the scold style that permeated the entire Starry Sea Mansion.

"Sorry. I was so busy that I forgot. Are you free now?" Matthew's gaze was somewhat inscrutable as he looked at her. After he said he was free, he stepped aside to make room for her to enter before he moved toward the direction of the bed.

Aurelia hesitated for a moment, realizing he wanted the massage in his room.

Following that, she remembered he didn't have any particular feelings toward her, so what was there for her to worry or guard against? She then confidently followed along.

"Every tI finish massaging you, you fall asleep. You can lie on the bed while I sit by your side and massage you. After I'm done, I'll turn off the lights for you." Aurelia noticed a chair nearby that was just the right height to place by the bed.

Just as she was about to lift the chair, Matthew took it from her. "Let me." "All right, thank you." As Matthew moved the chair, he wondered if she was really not afraid of what he might do to her once she entered his room.

Did she trust him that much? The thought that she might have no feelings for him made Matthew's eyes darken.

Aurelia didn't notice the shift in Matthew's emotions.

1/4 Sat, 29 Chapter 111 Stop Pretending After she sat down, she realized that Matthew hadn't cover.

30% Finished She turned to look at him and was taken aback by the dark intensity in his eyes, deeper than the night.

Huht "Is there a problem?" she asked, sensing that he seemed a bit different after his business trip.

He had becmuch harder to read.

Matthew gazed at her intently. "It's nothing." Half an hour later, Matthew had already fallen asleep, his breathing steady.

Aurelia couldn't help but stare at the sleeping Matthew for a moment. He was undeniably blessed with handsfeatures.

The features of his face were exquisite..

Even as a woman, she couldn't help but feel a bit envious of his looks.

While asleep, he would lose sof his usual intense aura, making him seem more like the average boy next door.

She smiled, thinking that if she hadn't been deceived by Curtis in her youth, she might have fallen for Matthew by now.

Realizing her thoughts were wandering, she quickly got up, stretched her arms and waist, then quietly turned off the lights and closed the door.

As soon as she did, Matthew opened his eyes.

His eyes were a shade of black that seemed even darker than the night itself.

Immediately, he let out a soft sigh.

When she faced him, she was truly clear-headed and free from desire.

It was almost half past eight in the morning.

In front of La Royale Hotel, Phyllis walked briskly.

Just earlier, there was a traffic jam on the road, and the bus was caught in the jam. Looking at the tnow, it was just a few minutes shy of half past eight.

She was running late for work.

She didn't like being late and usually arrived ten minutes early, so she ran all the way there.

Just as she was about to enter the hotel, someone stopped her.

In her haste, she failed to notice the presence of someone standing nearby.

Phyllis was somewhat taken aback when her path was suddenly blocked.

2/4 Chapter 111 Stop Pretending "Excuse me, could you please move aside?" 30% Finished No sooner had she finished speaking than she realized the person blocking her path was none other than Luna, causing her face to instantly turn cold.

All her encounters with Luna had been unpleasant, so she had no expectations of Luna's character anymore.

At this point in time, Luna being there was certainly not a chance encounter.

*Mdm. Campbell, could you please step aside? I'm in a rush to get to work," Phyllis said, her face stern.

Luna watched Phyllis, who had rushed to work directly in her cleaning uniform, with disdain in her eyes, Though she restrained herself from showing it too openly, Phyllis noticed the contempt in her gaze.

Phyllis knew that, in Luna's eyes, people were divided into a hierarchy. However, Phyllis believed that as long as she earned her money honestly, without stealing or begging, Luna had no right to look down on her.

"I have something to tell you," Luna said, her brows furrowed.

La Royale Hotel was bustling with people, and there was a chance that Luna might run into someone she knew. The thought of being seen conversing with a cleaner was utterly embarrassing for her.

She put on sunglasses and a mask to avoid recognition.

"Sorry, I don't have time. I've got a lot of work to do. If you need something, you can findduring lunch break," Phyllis refused without a second thought Luna looked displeased. "How much do you make from this job? I can offer you a month's salary for just half an hour of your time, and I've already spoken to your manager about it." Had it not been for Aurelia's current resistance toward their family, Luna would have never sought out Phyllis.

Given that Phyllis was without a husband and engaged in the kind of work that was typically performed by those at the bottom of the social ladder, it was impossible to have an equal conversation with her. rty of Phyllis' face grew even colder. "You didn't even bother to ask me, and you just took the liberty of requesting leave on my behalf?"

"I've already told you I'd give you a month's salary," Luna said, casually "Just dismissing the minor detaily showyour QR code, and I'll transfer it to you right away." Phyllis was infuriated by Luna's shameless behavior.

If Luna could be this brazen with her, she could only imagine how they treated Aurelia.

"Drop your high and mighty attitude. Who do you think you are? If it weren't for Auri, I wouldn't even spare you a glance, Phyllis said, bristling with anger.

Then, she forcefully pushed Luna away.

Phyllis was used to physical labor, so she easily pushed Luna away.

15:20 Sat, 29 Jun Chapter 111 Stop Pretending.

Luna, dressed in high heels and finely made-up, almost stumbled but managed to stay upright.

"Phyllis Jenkins!" she yelled, her voice breaking.

Phyllis gave Luna a cold glance before heading straight in.

30% Finished She was certain that nothing good could cfrom Luna seeking her out, just as one couldn't expect niceties from scoundrels.

The last time, they feigned illness to get Aurelia to return to the Leedon residence.

Who knew what they were planning now? Ignoring her was the best option.

"Do you have any idea what Auri is up to these days? She's actually joined Old Mr. Gardner's team. You probably don't know what they do. They restore antiques and are considered antiques and a ope of the top teams in Jacaster. You can't get in without real skills! Yet, Auri got in. Do you know how? Not by talent, but by using her body! I bet those designer shoes you're wearing were bought by Auri, right? You're literally walking in the money she earned by selling herself! Don't you feel ashamed wearing them? Phyllis, stop pretending don't know anything. Was it you who influenced Auri to act this way? For the sake of a comfortable life, have you completely disregarded your morals?" you
