Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 49 Did He Hit You After Gordon left, he directly told Aurelia, "Mr. Leedon and Melanie are inside." Aurelia was somewhat taken aback.

Since the day of her reincarnation and leaving the hospital, she had not seen Gideon. Unexpectedly, he had cto Quigley Group today.

Just as she was about to say something more to Gordon, Gideon and Melanie had already emerged from the building.

At first, the two were somewhat uncertain if it was Aurelia.

Upon realizing it was indeed Aurelia, Melanie was evidently taken aback. "Aurelia, you..." Could Gordon be Aurelia's financial backer? After all, Gordon was Matthew's special assistant. In Jacaster, many people respected Gordon. Unexpectedly, Aurelia had sought out a financial backer like Gordon. Although he wasn't an old man, then again...

However much respect others showed Gordon, he was, after all, just an employee.

"Auri, how could you..." Gideon began to question, but as the words reached his lips, he saw the lunch box in Gordon's hand and held back.

Upon encountering such a situation, Gordon, usually adept in handling any situation, found himself somewhat at a loss. "Auri-" "Go ahead with your work," Aurelia told Gordon.

Gordon nodded and left.

He appeared rather aloof.

However, as soon as he turned his back to Gideon and the others, he immediately took out his phone and sent a Whatmessage to Matthew: Mr. Quigley, when Ms. Shaw cto bring you stew, she happened to run into Gideon and Melanie who were looking for you.

Only after Gideon saw Gordon leave and enter the elevator in the building, did he put on the stern demeanor of a father. "Auri, what on earth has been going on with you recently? You're not answering calls from family and even moved out? You're really being too unreasonable and disobedient." "Aurelia, we're all worried about you. The gossip on the inteare not true. How could I possibly be with your boyfriend? Please don't misunderstand me," Melanie said, maintaining her usual composure as she sipped her coffee.

Looking at the familiar faces of the two, a cold laugh echoed in Aurelia's heart.

In the past, she truly cared about how they perceived her.

She would reflect on whether she had with all sorts of accusations against one anything wrong. Otherwise, Gideon wouldn't have started off Chapter 49 Did He Hit You Even though she hadn't done anything wrong, it felt as if everything she did was wrong.

"Why didn't you say a word? I heard from your mother that you moved in with someone? Was the Gordon just now your sugar daddy? Have you lost your mind, becoming someone's lover?" Gideon's voice rose slightly.

Then again, since he was at Quigley Group, Gideon dared not raise his voice too much.

Melanie sighed lightly. "In saspects, Gordon is indeed better than Curtis. But Curtis never cheated, he never wronged you. Aurelia, is it because you're with Gordon that you're slanderingand Curtis on social media?" "You know very well what's going on between you and Curtis, Melanie. Your acting skills won't work on me, Aurelia said to Melanie.

She then turned to Gideon. "You and I share only a biological father-daughter relationship. Beyond that, you are not worthy of being my father." "You!" Gideon's eyes widened in fury. Coupled with the disregard he had just experienced in the building. fury surged within him, making him wish he could knock ssense into Aurelia.

He raised his hand high and was about to strike Aurelia.

Aurelia glanced at Gideon's hand, a chill deepening in her heart. The faint pain of a hidden wound surfaced from the depths of her being, her complexion turning somewhat pale. "I advise you to think twice before striking." she said.

Although she didn't have much recollection of her foster father, her elder brother described him as a very gentle man.

He was always very gentle and patient with all of their children, never resorting to hitting them.

However, when Gideon faced her, he would either chastise or strike her.

Gideon's hand trembled slightly. In the past, he would have swung down without hesitation, but now, seeing that Aurelia was not looking at him with the sfearful and appeasing gaze as before, an inexplicable thought emerged in his heart.

Auri doesn't really care aboutanymore.

Before, whenever he put on a stern face, she would always admit her mistakes and try to please him. But now, it seemed like she was truly no longer afraid.

"You..." Suddenly, the door behind was pushed open.

Matthew stepped out.

He looked expressionlessly at Gideon, his gaze impassive as it swept over Gideon's raised hand.

For a moment, Gideon didn't react. Hearing a noise behind him, he turned to look, and it caused his face to subtly change color.

"Mr. Quigley?" Chapter 49 Did He Hit You M-Mr. Quigley!" Melanie also turned around to look.

Aurelia looked at Matthew, her face pale and devoid of any color.

Matthew furrowed his brows, IT had cout a step later, would Gideon's hand have struck her? The Leedon family seemed to treat her even worse than he had imagined.

"Is Mr. Leedon intending to resort to violence?" Gordon was taken aback and immediately voiced his concern.

Gideon is really brazen to strike someone at the entrance of Quigley Group! Gordon turned to look at Aurelia and noticed her pale face. Is she frightened?

"I-I didn't intend to hit anyone. She's my other daughter who has made smistakes these past few days. I was merely trying to reason with her. My apologies for causing a scene here." Gideon immediately defended himself with a rigid expression. After saying that, he felt somewhat inappropriate.

If Auri has Mr. Zeller as her financial backer, she might be useful to me. After all, he is a person whom Mr. Quigley trusts.

At the thought that his two daughters were Gordon and Matthew's partners, Gideon was excited at the prospect of his family's influence in Jacaster now.

"Yes, my father just wanted to discuss smatters with my sister. I don't know why she had to talk back to him. I hope you don't misunderstand, Mr. Quigley," Melanie quickly defended Gideon.

Then, Melanie suddenly realized that Aurelia seemed to have beceven more beautiful recently Despite her expensive designer professional attire, she found herself surprisingly outshined by Aurelia's simple jeans and white T-shirt. She angled her body, hoping to shield Aurelia momentarily so that Matthew would be astounded by her beauty at first glance.

Matthew didn't look at Melanie or Gideon. His gaze was transfixed on Aurelia. "Did they hit you?" After all, Aurelia was now his wife. If Gideon were to hit her, it would be no different than hitting Matthew himself.

"Not yet." Aurelia was somewhat taken aback. Is he worried about me? Matthew's eyes were terrifyingly deep, and he let out a cold hum.

"Mr. Quigley, she's my daughter? How could I possibly hit her? Today, m cto Quigley Group to Speak with you hope you can sparea few minutes of your time." Gideon seized the opportunity and quickly spoke up. He discreetly glanced at Gordon once more. It seemed that Gordon was able to put in a word or two in front of Matthew.

Chapter 49 Did Ho Hit You Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Matthew to suddenly stand up for Aurella.

Gideon reckoned that Matthew was aware that Aurelia was in a relationship with Gordon.

Compared to Curtis, Gordon was more useful. As a businessman, he quickly weighed who was more of a valuable asset to him.
