Chapter 253
As things settled down, Millie sensed Aurelia’s gaze and looked up with a smile.
“Aurelia, let’s be honest. Despite everything you’ve done, you’re just jealous of me, right? After all, your husband can’t compare with Jackson at all,” Millie said smugly.
Aurelia didn’t bother responding
However, Millie believed she had hit a nerve and continued.
“Jackson’s family owns a company, while your husband is just an ordinary worker. You’re just trying to stop me from marrying Jackson, right? Well, sorry to break it to you but Jackson and I will always be together.”
Aurelia found her tone peculiar, but couldn’t quite decipher her intentions at the moment.
Just then, Aurelia felt a chilling sensation on her swollen cheek.
She flinched, only to realize there was something on her face.
It was an ice pack.
Seeing Leslie holding up an ice pack, Aurelia exclaimed, “Didn’t you go to the restroom?”
“I passed by the nurse’s station and got this. Otherwise, your face might still be swollen tomorrow,‘ he said nonchalantly.
Blushing, Aurelia reached out to take the ice pack.
“I can do it myself.”
“Can you see where it’s swollen?” Leslie asked.
“Alright, fine. You do it.”
Aurelia could only stand in front of Leslie, allowing him to apply the ice.
But, she stood too far away, so he reached out and pulled her closer.

“What do you mean by “again“?” she retorted.

She tilted her face upward. “Is this okay?”
might think that I’m venomous or something,
“Yeah, at least I don’t have to keep looking at the top of your head.”
Aurelia raised an eyebrow and gave him a stare.

Across them, Millie tightly clenched her new purse.
The vanity and joy she felt when buying the purse had completely vanished.
She felt devastated watching how Leslie cared for Aurelia.
Why had Jackson never treated her like this?
She was the only one that considered herself his girlfriend.
Jackson never refused or acknowledged anything
Whenever he had urges, he would call her.
They’d have a nice dinner together, spend the night, and the next day he’d buy her a moderately expensive but not too pricey bag and clothes.
Initially, she felt like she was living in a dream.
But over time, she realized that she had unknowingly sold her body away.
She was afraid to cross Jackson and had to meet his needs even when she was feeling unwell.
She feared that he would abandon her and she would have to return to her ordinary life.
As Jackson grew more impatient with her, she became increasingly anxious.
In order to keep the spotlight on herself, she could only do so by directing attention toward her.
She bought gifts for Jackson and bought designer–brand products for herself.
At first, it only cost a little.
Eventually, it kept snowballing, and it ended with her getting online loans.
She knew that they were dangerous, but she didn’t want to lose what she had.
She thought she could get Jackson to fall for her, but now he wouldn’t even meet her.
This was all Aurelia’s fault.
If Aurelia didn’t compete with her and drew Jackson’s attention, she would never end up in such a
state.
Aurelia, on the other hand, got rid of her horrible ex–boyfriend and landed a handsome man who owned a house and a car.
Not only was her husband caring, but even her mother–in–law liked her to the point that she would lend expensive jewelry to Aurelia.
This brought back memories of her meeting Jackson’s mother.
That day, Jackson was ignoring her. So, she went to wait for him outside his office.
To her surprise, she ran into his mother.
