Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Leslie, who had always stayed aloof, became extremely angry when he saw the signature

on it.

Aurelia was confused as she saw the darkening look on his face. Why was Leslie being so sarcastic?

“You don’t need to compliment me. It’s what it is.” She lowered her gaze at the divorce agreement helplessly, feeling worse about it than about owing a debt worth 50 million.

“Aurelia Simmons!” he shouted.

Feeling like her eardrums were busted, she twitched in fear. “I can hear you.”

“Explain yourself,” he said darkly.

“Mr. Synder… I can’t drag you down with me.” She stared at him and explained, “A divorce is the best solution. You are the brightest star in the IT industry right now with a promising future. I, on the other hand, angered Eva. She will never let me go and I’m going to end up dragging you down with me.”

“So you are suggesting divorce for my sake?” Leslie retorted.

Aurelia nodded. “Yeah.”

Something felt off with how he phrased it, but Leslie’s expression eased up and he cleared his throat. “Do you really think I can’t handle Eva Hanks?” he asked.

Aurelia frowned. “She’s different. She works for the media and has a powerful

background. How will you deal with her? It’s 50 million, not 500 dollars. Even your boss won’t help.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“What do you plan to do, then?” Leslie asked.

“Let’s get a divorce first. I will take on everything myself and fight her to the nail for this.

I have nothing much to lose, anyway…” Aurelia declared meekly, becoming increasingly unsure of herself as she spoke.

How could she possibly match Eva? She was just gritting her teeth and holding her

ground. However, she would never admit to a crime she didn’t commit.

Aurelia sighed and lowered her head, suddenly feeling dizzy.

A hand landed on her head.

“Aurelia, you’re really stupid. You haven’t learned anything,” Leslie said in a low voice. “I’m being serious with you. Why are you insulting me?” Aurelia muttered.

“Didn’t I teach you not to handle everything on your own?” he asked.

Aurelia mumbled, “But…”

“No ‘buts,‘ and definitely no divorce,” Leslie said firmly.

With that, Leslie tore up the divorce agreement right in front of Aurelia.

Aurelia was stunned. She looked incredulously at the pieces on the table and then back at Leslie.

“Mr. Synder, I thought you hated me. Why won’t you agree to a divorce?” she asked.

Leslie hesitated to answer. “I…”

Why wouldn’t he agree to a divorce? Leslie couldn’t come up with an immediate answer.

He casually came up with a reason and said, “My mom wouldn’t be happy about it.

“Oh.” Aurelia nodded and felt that she shouldn’t have asked such a question at this moment. What was she hoping to hear?

Seeing her shoulders slump, Leslie approached her slowly and lowered his gaze. are you disappointed?” he asked.

“Why

Aurelia felt her heart race and tried to move away in a panic. However, she accidentally kicked a suitcase and she grabbed onto Leslie’s arm to steady herself.

“Nothing,” she stuttered, but her hand involuntarily clenched around Leslie’s arm.

Leslie glanced at her hand on his arm but didn’t brush it away. “How heartless,” he said.

His breath brushed against Aurelia’s nose, and her ears turned red.

Leslie straightened Aurelia up, pulled out a chair, and sat down slowly. “You don’t need to worry about Eva,” he assured.

Aurelia sat down and said solemnly, “Mr. Synder, I didn’t break the necklace

intentionally. I’m sure I tripped on a wire, but that wire disappeared afterward. I think finding that wire is key.”
