Chapter 179
Kimberly stared at the man before her and instantly lost all her composure.
As the man tried to approach her, she recoiled with disgust.
“Get away! Just get lost!”
“What do you mean? You inviteand then tellto leave? Who do you think you are? Do you think you deserve respect because of your uncle?”
The man’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was audible enough to instantly attract the attention of those
around them.
Even Leslie and Aurelia heard the commotion.
The two observed the scene from a distance.
Puzzled, Aurelia asked, “Huh? Who is this man?”
Leslie glanced at the man and said, “He’s the son of the owner of the law firm upstairs of our company. He just returned to the country not long ago.”
After hearing this, Aurelia realized what had happened and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
It turned out Kimberly made a mistake.
She was wondering why Kimberly would invite her colleagues out for a meal when she couldn’t locate her so-called boyfriend.
Her laughter was noticed by Kimberly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKimberly’s face changed color in anger.
As she kept moving back, she bumped into the table next to her.
She fell to the ground and a large bottle of red wine spilled on her.
Her dress that was worth a few tens of thousand instantly turned into useless garbage.
Howard attempted to be a gentleman and extended his hand to help, but Kimberly shouted, “Go away! You ugly freak!”
Then, she crawled up pitifully from the ground and ran away, leaving Millie and the other colleagues behind to stand awkwardly.
They wanted to leave as well, but the appetizers had already been served. So they would have to foot
the bill.
In a restaurant with an average cost of three hundred per person, even the appetizers were shockingly expensive to them.
With no choice, they could only turn to Howard helplessly.

Howard’s expression darkened.
After adjusting his clothes slightly, he told the waiter, “I don’t know them.”
With that, Howard left.
Millie and her colleagues stiffened and immediately turned their gaze to Aurelia.
Aurelia pretended not to know them and turned her head, before moving to sip on her water in one smooth motion.
Across the table, Leslie asked, “Aren’t you going to explain to me?”
Aurelia smiled. “Do you remember when we reported Seth to the police a while back?”
Leslie recalled for a moment and nodded.
“Photos of you were taken, and Kimberly said you were her suitor. She has many suitors so usually it would’ve just been a normal topic of conversation.
“However, you looked so exceptional that you becthe talk of the entire group until now. So, everyone urged Kimberly to have you treat them to dinner. Kimberly agreed for the sake of her pride.
“I don’t know how she mistook you for Howard, though. I simply thought she had changed her target. Who would’ve thought that we all happened to dine in the srestaurant today?”
Aurelia explained the whole story.
Leslie furrowed his brows.
Since the reservation was booked by him, it was unlikely that Aurelia was using this opportunity to provoke her colleagues.
Hence, it seemed to be just a coincidence.
However…
Leslie’s tone dropped, and his expression gradually darkened.
“You saw the photos they sent of me, why didn’t you say that I’m your husband? Instead, you
continued to let them fool around? Are you that embarrassed of me? Do you not want others to know?

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAurelia wasn’t offended at what Leslie said.
She had heard from Linda why Leslie disliked women. Hence, his skepticism was expected.
“No. I told everyone that I was married, but they never believed me. You didn’t look like you wanted others to find out either, so I didn’t say anything.
“I didn’t know things would escalate to this point. I was just added into the building group and by then, Kimberly had already said her piece.”
Chapter 179
Leslie’s furrowed brows eased and he raised an eyebrow, “You’re quite talkative now,”
Aurelia felt like she was being mocked, but she wasn’t sure.
Just then, the waiter handed them the menu and Leslie passed it to Aurelia first.
“Take a look and see what you want.”
“Sure.”
As soon as Aurelia opened the menu, she sensed a malicious gaze landing on her.
She turned around and met Millie’s eyes.
The group whined while they paid, before being escorted out.
Aurelia didn’t bother with them and returned her attention back to the menu,
However, she couldn’t help kicking at Leslie when she saw the price of the dishes.
Leslie initially thought that it was an accident and paid no mind to it.
But she kicked again and her leg brushed against his calf. Taken aback, he moved his leg away, but her kicks followed.
