Aurelia froze. The hand before her was fair and supple, unlike the many pairs of rough ones she had seen in the
basement.
It felt like there was a halo around the owner of the hand. She was beautiful and gentle, but there was a sense of
determination in her gaze. It made people want to get closer to her.
It was just that Aurelia knew that “people like her” could not dirty a hand so clean. She looked down, took a deep
breath, and stood up on her own.
Cordelia took the initiative to hold her hand.
Aurelia’s heart felt like something poked it as she looked at Cordelia in a daze. After some time, she asked, “Y-You
believe me? ‘People like me’ do everything from tricking to stealing. I might be acting.”
Cordelia chuckled and tucked her hair by her ear.

Who knows? You may be able to use it the next time you encounter the police.”
Aurelia paused before a giggle escaped her.
Neil looked over and shook his head weakly.
“Cordelia, cut the crap with her! She’s—”
“Regardless, Fredric might have really died on the street without her.” Cordelia shot him a look. “It’s more of a
scare this time, and Ms. Chilton has her reasons. Stop blaming her.”
Aurelia looked at Cordelia gratefully and smiled. She bowed at her and was going to leave but seemed to think of
something and ran back to her to open the box and show her.
“This is all the money I have,” Aurelia said seriously. “I wanted to pay for Fredric’s hospital bill, but you all look rich. I
don’t think you’ll need this anymore, so I’ll take it back… I just want to say that this money is clean.
“My background isn’t the greatest, but I’ve never done anything illegal. I spend my time with the nomads, and we
sing and dance at the square. The tourists tip us. Because we attract the tourists, the patrolling police don’t find
fault with us as long as we don’t do anything drastic…
“But if we call the police and be the ones to alert them, it’ll be an entirely different matter. This is why I didn’t dare
to call the police or send him to the hospital.
“Thank you for believing me.” Aurelia bowed again. “There aren’t many who believe me. Everyone finds it hard to

Aurelia licked her lips. “My money is clean. I-I don’t think I’m a bad person.”

Aurelia jolted before she smiled sweetly.
She hugged Cordelia the nomadic way and stroked her forehead lightly to wish her well in life.
Cordelia looked at her back quietly until the thin girl was out of sight.
“S-She just left like this?” asked Neil.
Cordelia was puzzled. “What else?”
Neil swallowed and pressed his lips together. He wore a straight face, and his voice was indifferent. “I said that
she’s my fiancee… It’ll be big news if it gets back to the local showbiz! What will my fans think of me when they
learn I have a fiancee in Chaiseland, but no one when I go back?”
Zephyr, who had been silent on the side, scoffed,. “What are you trying to say? Do you want the girl to take
responsibility for you?”
“You…” Neil could not explain himself and could only rub his nose.
Zephyr hugged Cordelia and exchanged a smile. When he turned around to pull out his phone, he ordered in a low
voice, “The girl who just left the hospital… Send someone to follow her and look into her background, where she
stays, and her usual activity area!”
