Chapter 262
Aurelia was utterly confused and her brain struggled to keep up with everything that is happening.
Meanwhile, Leslie’s gaze darkened as he stared at Millie.
“How do you know it’s a shady website? These people don’t have any proof of identity on them. It’s
obvious they’re debt collectors hired by the website. The paint they threw around was just a mixture of
red dye and liquid, which can be cleaned without trace using alcohol.”
Everyone, including the tattooed leader, was stunned.
“The vans downstairs belong to you, right? Next time you mix your paint, hide the dye better, and don’t
leave it on the windshield,” Leslie added.
The tattooed leader and his lackeys were silent.
Awkward.
Leslie took the initiative to defuse the situation and Aurelia gradually regained her composure.
She looked up at the leader.
“You said 1 borrowed money from you. What did I use to borrow money, and what procedures did you
use to approve the loan?”

abiding citizen, the bank would inform me first if I received a large sum of money in my account out of
the blue. So where’s the money?”
The tattooed man was momentarily stunned as he didn’t expect Aurelia to question him so calmly.
They had harassed many people for payments, and most were scared witless.
Regaining his composure, the man quickly pulled out some documents and then smirked at Aurelia.
“See? This is a loan you applied for using your ID. All the information matches or we wouldn’t have
found our way here. When we borrow someone this much money, we usually keep something to be our
leverage. I believe you wouldn’t want what we have leaking, right? So, you’d better pay up.”
Aurelia’s heart sank.
Leverage?
She thought of the loans mentioned in the recent anti–fraud lecture, where some attractive girls took
revealing photos for loans.
She had always considered these things distant from her, only to find herself facing it at this moment.
Before Aurelia could speak, Kimberly seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
“Aurella, it’s no wonder you’ve been getting new clothes and expensive jewelry lately. Your husband

was just an ordinary worker with a mortgage. Where did you get so much money? Looks like your
wealthy mother–in–law is also a sham.”
“Aurelia, you can’t escape fate. In order to compare yourself to others, you forced yourself into a
situation like this. You’ve frightened us all,” Millie chimed in with a mocking tone.
The other colleagues exchanged glances, some revealing a hint of disdain In their eyes.
“Aurelia, we don’t care if you got a loan, but your actions are affecting our safety. Go outside to talk
this out.
“Yeah!”
The tattooed man refused to oblige and sat down on a chair.
“No way. I’m not leaving here until Aurelia pays me back.”
He knew that office women cared most about how others saw them, so Aurelia would be forced into

Otherwise, she would be too embarrassed to stay in this company once her naked photos were
exposed.
Instead of panicking, she opened her purse and poured everything out.
Apart from a pen and notebook, there was a small makeup pouch and a rather old wallet.
She opened the wallet and realized that her identification card was missing.
Leslie glanced at her and asked quietly, “Have you always kept the card here?”
“Yeah,” she said thoughtfully.
“I always have my purse with me. If I accidentally dropped it, I would’ve dropped my wallet as well. The
fact that only my ID is missing means that…”
She didn’t continue and glanced at Leslie.
“Someone you know did this,” he said.
Both Aurelia and Leslie came to the same conclusion as to who did it and turned to look in the same
direction.
