Aurelia flashed a smile, “He is out of town today” Elvis* brows quirked, a hint of playfulness in his gaze, “Mr. Leopold is very clever. | suppose he was afraid | would steal you away, so he got the jump on me and married you first” With a teasing tone, Aurelia retorted, “If Mr. Leopold hadn't married me. | might have jumped ship to Ethereal Gems. After all, the offer Mr. Cooper presented was too good to refuse.” Elvis laughed, “I'm looking forward to your new designs after your return.” “I'm also looking forward to the new products in your company Competition promotes progress.” As Aurelia was speaking, she saw Melissa approaching, obviously looking for Elvis She was livid at the sight of him talking and laughing with Aurelia.
“Elvis, you're acquainted with Aurelia?” she spat sarcastically.
Elvis glanced at her dismissively. “Aurelia is the designer | admire the most.” Melissa instantly felt something was going on between him and Aurelia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust a few days ago, Aurelia had heard about how Elvis had rejected her, so Aurelia was probably laughing behind her back.
“Elvis, you do enjoy mingling with the commoner, don’t you?” she sneered.
Elvis frowned, “Melissa, Aurelia is your sister—in—law “So what?” Melissa shrugged, “Our Stirling family never accepted her Only a lady of prestigious birth has the right to be the true matriarch of the Stirling family, not some commoner” Her tone was extremely sharp, showing no intention of saving face for Aurelia.
Beverley rolled her eyes, “Melissa, can't you be a little nicer? Everyone but you in the Stirling family has accepted Aurelia. Don't take your frustrations out on her because you're single.” Melissa's face turned pale, “Don't talk nonsense. Since when did | become single? | have so many suitors they could line up to the moon” Elvis smirked, “Then you should hurry up and get married. You're not getting any younger” Melissa was stung by his words, “Elvis, are you implying that I'm old?” Elvis scoffed, “You don’t think you're young, do you?” His words were hurtful and insulting Melissa was furious, “Elvis, you're crossing the line.” Elvis stared at her, his gaze icy, “I said you're old, and you're angry, right? Have you ever considered others’ feelings when you insult them?” His words struck a chord. She was treated in the same way she treated others, and she just couldn't bear it any longer.
Aurelia realized that Elvis was Melissa's nemesis, and he knew exactly how to handle her Melissa's face was beet red, “Elvis, don’t forget that you're a year older than me. Not only are you old, but you're blind, always associating with lowlifes. Do you think those gold diggers truly love you? They're only after your wealth and the Cooper Group.
There's no such thing as true love for them, and all they want is money and fame* Elvis sneered, “Melissa, do you know what | dislike about you the most?” Melissa held her head high, like a proud swan, “I'm flawless, and | have no shortcomings.” Elvis was speechless at her, “it's your self-righteous attitude that's most distasteful.” Melissa's perfect face twitched a little, “I call it confidence, not self-righteousness. None of the women you hang out with can compare to me, and they're not even fit to be my mald.” 171
