The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 93 My Woman

Angela was in a state of panic. She hadn’t expected that Aurelia would call Matthew while they were in the- middle of their conversation.

She regretted and resented revealing her unbearable and manipulative side to Matthew.

“Matthew, listen to me. I just thought that her situation was complicated and that she must have a purpose for approaching you, which is why I took it upon myself to drive her away. The threats I made earlier were just words spoken thoughtlessly, Angela explained in a panic.

She hoped to appear radiant and pure in front of Matthew.

The threat she had just made against Aurelia was completely different from what she had intended for

him to know.

“Are you trying to interfere in my personal matters and with my woman?” Matthew’s cold voice came through the phone right then.

Such a simple question took Angela by surprise.

In Jacaster, aside from the Quigley family, no one dared to meddle in Matthew’s affairs.

Even those friends who usually got along well with Matthew didn’t dare to interfere.

Aurelia was surprised.

When did I become his woman?

However, when she thought it was probably just meant for Angela to hear, she didn’t dwell on it.

Angela forced herself to calm down. “I’m sorry. I made a mistake today without thinking it through.”

“Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You’re trying to make Aurelia leave with just a million. You’re slapping me in the face. Angela, the Sanders family has been getting too greedy lately.” Matthew’s voice was devoid of any emotion. He resembled a high–ranking king condescendingly observing his subject.

Aurelia rarely saw this side of Matthew. Even though she was just listening to him speak, she could feel waves of chill washing over her.

Meanwhile, the color had already drained from Angela’s face.

However, Aurelia didn’t feel much. Angela had just threatened her and her family. If it weren’t for this phone call and the recorded conversation, she believed that Angela wouldn’t have just made empty

threats

“Mr. Quigley, please hear me out. This decision was made solely by me. My parents, even Timothy and the others, have no idea about it. Also, you probably don’t know Aurelia well. Her background is quite complicated. That’s why I sought her out in desperation. I can head over to Quigley Group now to replace you and explain everything about, this matter.” Angela tightly clutched the bag in her hand.

Chapter 93 My Woman

She desired to be with Matthew, a wish that was indeed shared by her parents and grandfather.

Matthew no longer listened to what Angela had to say. In a softer voice, he called out, “Auri.”

This made Angela’s face even paler.

“I’ll handle this matter. You don’t need to worry.”

Aurelia hummed in acknowledgment. “All right. Sorry to bother you today.”

Finished

“If similar situations arise in the future, don’t bother calling, just tell me directly.” Matthew advised again, uno shake off his worry.

He knew that they could use any means necessary to achieve their goals, as they had no regard for rules.

He felt that Aurelia might have been frightened today, and a cold glint quickly flashed in his eyes.

“Okay,” Aurelia mumbled and then ended the call.

Then she slipped her phone into her bag, stood up, and prepared to leave the restaurant.

Seeing her about to leave, Angela immediately grabbed her wrist. Her expression was a mix of jealousy and panic and even a bit of resentment. Nevertheless, she said gently, “Can you explain to Mr. Quigley that what happened just now was a misunderstanding, or you can come with me to see him and explain everything in person.”

Aurelia shook her off.

“Ms. Sanders, do you think I’m a saint?”

You just threatened me, intending to cause trouble for me and my family, and now you’re asking for my help. Are you out of your mind?

“Please, I beg you, name your price! If one million isn’t enough, then two million, or even, five million. I can give you five million! As long as Mr. Quigley doesn’t misunderstand me, I’ll immediately give you five million.” Angela gritted her teeth as she made the offer.

She had a premonition that Matthew wasn’t just making idle talk when he mentioned the Sanders family earlier.

She absolutely could not let her reckless actions implicate the Sanders family.

“Sorry.” Aurelia walked out directly from the side.

She wouldn’t accept it even if it was ten million, let alone five million.”

Angela was the type of person who could threaten her just a moment ago and would later devise all sorts of ways to make her cough up the money she had taken.

She was not to be trusted.

It simply wasn’t worth her wasting time.

“Timothy, I made a mistake.”

Then, she briefly explained to Timothy what had just happened.

Finished

Upon listening. Timothy fell silent for a few minutes. “You’ve got a lot of nerve. I met Jeremy a couple of days ago and we talked about Aurelia, Jeremy mentioned that Matthew cares a lot about Aurelia. He warned us not to underestimate her. Who would dare to bully a woman who is cherished by Matthew? Angela, you’ve poked the bear.”

Angela clutched her phone tightly, a sense of panic she had never felt before welling up within her. “Help me think of a way to meet him.”

“No. I can’t help you. If I help you again, I’ll cease to exist as a friend in his eyes. You’re on your own. I’m afraid. Let me give you a piece of advice. Instead of seeking my help, you should talk to Aurelia,” Timothy rejected without a second thought.

They were no fools.

Knowing full well the consequences of foolishly persisting, they would never allow themselves to make the same mistake again.

Timothy was a businessman who was solely driven by profit. His perspective was crystal clear.

After hanging up the phone, Angela sat alone in the restaurant, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Meanwhile, Aurelia drove to the supermarket.

She planned to prepare a large spread of dishes tonight and had already prepared the recipes in the morning.

She even made a point to ask Mabel what Matthew’s favorite food was.

Mabel said there was no need to treat Matthew so well and let the people in the Quigley residence prepare whatever he wanted to eat. Her hands weren’t suited for cooking every day.

She spent half an hour on the phone with Mabel and eventually learned about Matthew’s favorite dish.

Having bought the groceries, she headed back to cook. All the dishes should be ready by evening.

When leaving the supermarket, she ran into Rainier and a girl.

The girl appeared to be a rather naive university student.

“Aurelia?” Rainier was somewhat surprised.

Aurelia greeted with a smile, “Mr. Mosley.”

“Why are you at the supermarket alone? You’ve bought so much. Do you need my help?” Rainier asked, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Aurelia.

He had been unable to stop thinking about her since their encounter at the club before. Now that he had run into Aurelia, who happened to be alone, he would be doing a disservice to their chance meeting today if he didn’t seize the opportunity to do something.
