Chapter 8 I’m going back home
Rory turned off his Bluetooth headset and returned to his serious work. “Sorry, Miss Monroe , this is Mr Finnegan ‘s private matter. It would be better if you ask him directly!”
Better? How dare she?! Aidan smiled awkwardly, gritted his teeth in anger, and looked out the window in silence. Even if Callum was really married, what right did she have to ask!
The next day, when Rory investigated, he found that there were only two pieces of information about Aurelia , one was her application for admission, and the other was her personal profile.
The introduction only has a few simple sentences, including age, school attended and hobbies.
Callum threw the two pieces of paper into the air. ” Rory , have I been too nice to you lately?”
The tone was so sinister that Rory’s heart beat faster. He tried to keep himself calm, and took the opportunity to bend down and pick up two pieces of paper to hide the guilty feeling in his eyes, ” Mr. Finnegan , the information about that girl is quite mysterious, and these are the only ones we can find out so far.” He took away the rest and threw them into the trash can…
“Get out!”
“Yes, Mr. Finnegan !” Rory glanced at the two pieces of paper swaying to the ground and quickly rolled out of the president’s office.
When the office door was closed, Callum’s eyes fell on the admission application photo on the ground. He had to admit that Aurelia ‘s bare face was still very… lovable.
Especially those big eyes, they seem to be able to speak…
Callum rubbed his sore brows, picked up a document and slapped it directly on Aurelia’s application, covering her face tightly.
It was like a slap in the face with the document, and Callum felt relieved.
there are not many people with the last name Sheridan in Evercrest . What is her relationship with the Sheridan Family ?
“Ding-ling-ling-ling-ling…” The ringing of his personal cell phone interrupted his thoughts.
It was autumn on the Maple Leaf Avenue of the school, and the maple leaves on the trees gradually turned from green to red. Aurelia was in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and she stepped on the fallen leaves one by one with her head down, while Briar and Cathy were playing and fighting next to her .
After two days of struggling, Aurelia still didn’t have the courage to go to Callum ‘s company to discuss the divorce with him face to face. There was no movement from Callum’s side. When she asked Alfred last night , she heard that Callum hadn’t dealt with the matter yet, which really made her extremely upset!
Alas! All this stems from the text message she received n days ago.
” Aurelia , I’m going back home.”
Yes, he is returning to China. It is said that he has completed his studies abroad and is ready to come back to take over his father’s position.
But, think about it, what does that have to do with her?
If he hadn’t made her give up completely, how could she have agreed to marry Callum out of spite ?
Oh! Really, really, “It’s so annoying!”
Aurelia suddenly yelled, attracting many curious looks.
” Aurelia , what did I do to you? You just say I’m annoying… ah!” After the soft and weak voice, there was another scream, and then a woman fell in front of her.
Seeing the woman on the ground clearly, Aurelia rolled her eyes several times at the sky.
She must not have checked the almanac before going out today, and she ran into this bitch again .
Aurelia looked disdainfully at Evelyn Malice , who had fallen to the ground. Her long hair was fluttering, and she was wearing a pure white dress. Ha! No one could act more innocent than Evelyn .
“Get lost! A good dog shouldn’t block the road!” Aurelia didn’t feel like talking nonsense with her. They didn’t even bump into each other, okay? She knew exactly how she fell.
Evelyn’s eyes immediately turned red, and the boys watching the fun around were immediately conquered by her pitiful and charming appearance.
Aurelia again , there was a lot of anger in their eyes, but she was Aurelia , a woman that few people in the School of Economics and Management dared to touch, so they could only shut up.
” Miss Sheridan , you bumped into me, and not only did you not apologize to me, you even told me to get out! That’s too much!” Evelyn looked so pitiful that she was quickly helped up by a man passing by.
She gave the boy a grateful smile, and he immediately ran away with a red face.
“He’s really sick. We should go to the hospital!” Aurelia wanted to take a detour, but Evelyn moved slightly and blocked her way.
Her body leaned forward slightly, her expression still pitiful, but what she said sounded very proud to Aurelia , “Since you hate me so much, why don’t you make a bet with me? If I lose, I will never appear in front of you again in my life!” Evelyn bit her lower lip and said softly.
If someone didn’t know, they would think she was apologizing to Aurelia in a humble manner!
“You must be a fool! Why should I make a bet with you? You can appear wherever you want. Don’t you even go home?” Aurelia sneered.
“Of course, as long as you go, I will hide, how about that?”
“Not really. I’m not in the mood to talk nonsense with you right now. If you get in the way again, you will bear the consequences!”
Evelyn could also tell that Aurelia was in a bad mood, so she didn’t dare to say more. “I’ve always known that you hate me. In fact, I hate you even more, and you know that. How about we make a bet and run a marathon? Aren’t you good at long-distance running? I want you to know that you are nothing in front of me!”
In the end, she deliberately provoked Aurelia. She knew Aurelia quite well , and the provocation worked perfectly on her!
Half marathon? “Sure!” Aurelia wished Evelyn would never see her again. Besides, the race was her specialty and she could vent her frustration by running. She agreed without thinking and said it loudly, so Briar couldn’t stop her in time.
She didn’t know that there would be a silver medalist participating in the half marathon. If Aurelia wanted to outrun the professional athlete, she would have to practice for a few more years!
Aurelia glanced at the woman who could hold back her tears. “What if you win?”
Evelyn suppressed her laughter and took a step forward. “If I win…”
In the dormitory
After paying the registration fee for the half marathon , Aurelia sat down on her bed and gnashed her teeth. How could she have been so impulsive and been fooled by A mediocre school beauty Evelyn !
Evelyn suddenly confronted her, she must have come prepared, good! Let’s see how she will deal with her when she has the chance!
However, we can’t blame Evelyn entirely. She was the one who lost her cool and agreed to the bet in a fit of anger.
Now, she has signed up for the half marathon. If she doesn’t get first place, she will chase another rich second-generation kid in school : Felix Richmond , Evercrest The youngest son of the Richmond Family .
Humph, everyone knows that Felix is gay, and Evelyn just wants to embarrass her!
Or else, I would go to the principal’s office and quietly lock Principal Richmond into the office…
