Chapter 186
Marrying a woman from the big city was too costly for Seth.
His parents were already struggling to support him, so how could he burden them further?
That was why Aurelia became his prime choice.
She had a simple family background and parents who were both working.
She was born and raised locally. She had a coveted school district residence.
Most importantly, she had never been in a romantic relationship before.
To someone as experienced as him, she seemed like an easy catch.
However, Aurelia’s qualities were also appealing to the others, leaving him without any advantage.
Hence, he took an unconventional approach and intentionally made his pursuit widely known.
He professed his deep affection for her to make everyone speak favorably of him.
Then, he got close to her by learning her preferences and orchestrated numerous coincidental
encounters.
Women were emotional beings, and Aurelia was no exception.
After a few attempts, she agreed to be his girlfriend.

Worried about complications before marriage, he relentlessly belittled Aurelia and criticized her.
He claimed that her make up was bad, she was too fat, and insisted that she wore suits that made her
look dull and unattractive.
Surprisingly, his tolerance for her dullness earned him praises from others.
Despite Aurelia’s prowess in her career, she was remarkably innocent in matters of love.
Just a little kindness from him made her reciprocate generously, which fueled his vanity.
He was proud of the girlfriend he trained.
To ensure that Aurelia would be more obedient after marriage, Seth followed his mother’s advice and
constantly whined about how poor his family was.
Surprisingly, because of that, Aurelia’s family didn’t demand a dowry or a house.
He only had to contribute very little after her father’s death to make Aurelia genuinely moved.
He was pleased when her mother fell seriously ill, knowing that Aurelia would have no choice but to
rely on him in the future.
He couldn’t be bothered to keep up the act anymore.
However, when he decided to buy a car, Aurelia turned around and married someone else.
It wasn’t until Kimberly’s call that Seth finally understood why Aurelia had found a new partner so
quickly.
She had already been unfaithful to him all along.
That wretched woman.
He lived paycheck–to–paycheck, laboring every day.
How dare she wear expensive clothes and dine in high–end restaurants.
“I’ll teach her a lesson for this!” he thought.
Meanwhile, in One Technology.
Leslie closed a file and rubbed his eyes.
Just then, Daniel entered with breakfast and coffee.
However, he was taken aback when he saw the look on Leslie’s face.
Leslie had been in a rather good mood for the past two weeks.
Daniel wondered how he reverted back to the cold, distant man he used to be overnight.
“Mr. Synder, did you go through all the documents for the rest of the week overnight? Did…Did

“Nothing. The opening ceremony is approaching and the Synder Corporation is on the move. I’m just
playing it safe.” Leslie took a sip of coffee expressionlessly.
Sensing that something was wrong, Daniel asked gingerly, “You’ve never worried about Synder
Corporation, so what exactly happened?”

“Nothing,” Leslie said coldly and changed the subject. “What’s the schedule for today?”
“One of our clients responded and agreed to the collaboration in the technology section. We can sign
the contract today. The client is located one floor above Ms. Simmons‘ office. Do I need to…”
Before he could finish, Leslie raised his hand to interrupt him.
“No need. What does this have to do with her?”
“Alright, Mr. Synder. You’ve finally come to your senses. Ms. Simmons may be talented, but it’s not
okay to pursue a married woman, not to mention she’s still somewhat involved with her ex–boyfriend.”
Daniel thought his words would touch Leslie.
To his surprise, Leslie’s expression darkened..
“Daniel, do you have a lot of time in your hand? Go prepare the contract,” he said coldly.
“Sure, of course.” Daniel felt a chill down his spine.
