Chapter 161 Luna Had A Car Accident
In a relaxed and joyful atmosphere surrounded by family, Aurelia opened up her WhatsApp.
She saw the message left for her by Matthew.
Matthew: Something came up unexpectedly, I need to head to Kenfort. I’ll be back in a few days.
Kenfort?
It was pretty far from Jacaster. The flight alone would take five hours.
Aurelia: All right, have a smooth journey.
When Matthew received a reply from Aurelia, he was already at the airport.
He read through Aurelia’s brief response, his gaze turning cold. Does she not care that I’d be away for a few days?
After being driven out, Melanie was filled with a mix of shock and indignation.
Filled with indignation, she dialed Curtis‘ number.
“Curtis, you’ve already taken my money, why haven’t you deleted the video? You’re utterly shameless, return the money I gave you!”
Curtis had been awake all through the previous night, only managing to fall into a hazy sleep at dawn. He was then rudely awakened by a flurry of phone calls from Melanie. Irritated, he retorted, “What nonsense are you spouting? I’ve already deleted the video.”
“How could Aurelia have the video if you deleted it? Did you send it to her to win her favor? Was threatening me once not enough, now you’re even helping Aurelia!” Melanie was beside herself
rage, stomping her foot so hard she wished she could break her high heels,
with
She was nearly driven to her wit’s end!
Thinking about how Aurelia had evidence of her other side, she felt a sense of helplessness as if things were out of her control.
If the Leedon family were to find out about this, what would she do?
Curtis caught on. “Gave Aurelia? I’ve never given anything to Aurelia, let alone show her that video of yours.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He
was
certain that the video had been in his possession. Indeed, he had sold it to several websites. However, these websites only made the video content accessible to foreign audiences, making it impossible for Aurelia to have seen it.
“If it wasn’t for the video you gave Aurelia, how could she have gotten one?” Melanie really wanted to strangle Curtis.

Curtis was infuriated by Melanie’s relentless pestering. “How would I know why she has the video? You might as well ask yourself. Has anyone tampered with your phone? Has anyone messed with its contents? I certainly didn’t give her the video. You should look for the cause within yourself, Melanie. You’ve already given me the money and I’ve spent it. Thinking of getting it back? Don’t even dream about it!”
Given Melanie’s reckless nature, she might have been involved with those disreputable men, watching the video together.
Somehow, the video ended up in Aurelia’s possession.
There was a chance that quite a few people already have the video now.
Melanie was so frustrated that she wanted to throw her phone
e away.
“Curtis, you’re despicable! It’s all because of you! It must be you, do you think I would believe you if you deny it? Only you could have this kind of video!” Melanie yelled in rage.
Curtis rolled his eyes. “That’s not necessarily true. Nowadays, many people secretly install surveillance in hotels. The video you mentioned might have been leaked from the hotel. You’re always clinging to me. If you weren’t so despicable, constantly lusting after men, would you have ended up in such a video? After all, you didn’t even spare your own brother. Tsk tsk, seems like you want to collect all the men around you. Aren’t you afraid of catching something?”
The words of Curtis, coming through the mobile phone, were like a series of knives.
The color drained from Melanie’s face.
Not too long ago, Curtis had been nothing but kind to her. Now, he was insinuating, in every possible way, that she was dirty!
“If I were to fall ill, you wouldn’t be able to escape either, Curtis. Don’t forget how you groveled before me like a whipped dog. I was the one who rejected you. Now you’re acting petty, targeting me because I don’t want you anymore. Are you even a man? Of all the men I’ve known, you’re the least manly! You better hope I don’t find evidence that you gave the video to Aurelia, or else, I won’t let you off easily!”
After giving a hearty piece of her mind, Melanie promptly hung up the phone.
The thought of the million she had given away was agonizing to her.
At that moment, another call came through on her phone.
“Mel, where are you?” Aaron’s voice held a hint of urgency.
Melanie managed to hide her distress, responding gently, “Aaron, I’m out shopping, is there something you need?”
“Mom wasn’t feeling well today and went to the hospital. She got into a car accident when she was leaving! You need to get here quickly,” Aaron urgently said.

After the family gathering had concluded.
Aurelia returned to Starry Sea Mansion.
In the vast mansion, she was the only one present, which inexplicably filled her with a sense of emptiness.
Moreover, she wasn’t sure when Matthew would return.
Aurelia had yet to digest her midday meal when she pulled out a yogurt drink from the fridge. After taking a sip, she noticed a new message from Matthew.
Matthew: Do you want to come visit Kenfort?
Only then did Aurelia remember that Kenfort was a tourist destination. She had never been on a holiday in her entire life, let alone a place like Kenfort that required several hours of flight.
Many of her friends had been to various places, sharing all sorts of photos with beautiful scenery. Each time, she would pause for a moment to take in these images.
Indeed, captivating beauty can easily intoxicate one, as if the heart was thoroughly cleansed from the inside out.
She was tempted.
Norman had indeed told her that once she finished Joseph’s painting, she could take a break.
Aurelia: Would my visit interfere with your work?
As soon as the message was sent, a reply from Matthew arrived. Matthew: No, this time I’m not in Kenfort for work, it’s personal matters. I’ve asked my assistant, Gordon, to book your flight. We’re short on time, so your flight is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
Aurelia: Sure, thank you.
Once the arrangements were done, Aurelia first informed Norman, then she went upstairs to pack her luggage.
After checking the weather in Kenfort, she decided to bring a few dresses.
Humming a tune, she was simultaneously tidying up the clothes.
She even brought along mosquito repellent spray.
As she was packing her things, one call after another came through on her cell phone.
When she had just put down her phone, she accidentally hit the mute button.
After she finished packing her suitcase, she noticed that her phone was flooded with over a dozen missed calls from an unknown number.

“What were you doing just now? Why didn’t you answer your phone? You need to come to the hospital immediately, your mother was in a car accident. Her condition is critical and she’s currently in surgery. Regardless of whatever unpleasant things have happened before, you are our daughter. You must come now!”
The phone carried Gideon’s voice, laced with both urgency and a touch of anger.
A car accident?
Aurelia was momentarily lost in thought.
The scene of the car accident before her reincarnation suddenly flashed before her eyes. At that time, right in front of the hospital, a large tanker truck was coming head–on. Luna was in the most dangerous position. In that moment, almost instinctively, she wanted to protect Luna. She pushed Luna out of the way, but she herself fell into danger, becoming a patient with high–level paralysis.
The days when she lay weak and bullied on the hospital bed played out before her eyes like a movie.
