She promptly sent another WhatsApp message:
Matthew, whatever you do, don’t get mixed up with Rainier. He’ll only drag you down!
I’ll explain the details to you when you have the time.
However, after sending two messages on WhatsApp, there was hardly any response.
Aurelia couldn’t rest easy and didn’t put her phone in sleep mode.
It wasn’t until her cell phone rang that she was startled awake.
In a dreamy state, she hastily answered the phone.
“I just landed and saw your message on WhatsApp.”
Matthew’s voice came through the phone.
Aurelia snapped back to her senses. “Did you and Rainier fly here together?”
Finished
“Mmm–hmm, we were on the same flight.” Matthew glanced subtly at Rainier who was standing by his
side.
During this unexpected encounter, Rainier desired to foster a closer relationship with him.
It seemed like the Mosley family had recently run into some issues.
Aurelia took a deep breath. “Listen to me, he wears a ring, and that ring is no good. He’s a womanizer, constantly changing the women by his side. On top of the evil aura his ring emits, he must be carrying some sort of disease by now. Don’t get too close to him! Because he’s your friend, his electromagnetic field could affect you and even endanger your life.”
Matthew subtly raised his eyebrows.
He glanced again at Gordon, who had bumped his forehead, and it was now both red and swollen.
Finally, his gaze fell on his own shoes.
On the leather shoes handmade by the geomancer, there were traces of orange residue and even a scratch from a shard of glass.
This took place on an airplane when it suddenly experienced severe turbulence.
The flight attendant’s cup slipped had slipped from her hands and fell.
Just as Gordon was about to get up to go to the restroom, he too stumbled and fell.
Seated at the back, Rainier spar out a mouthful of blood
In the brief span of an hour–long flight, the airplane cabin had descended into chaos.
However, the current Rainier appeared slightly pale, but it didn’t hinder him from being affectionate with

As some things were simply undeniable, he was now more inclined to believe Aurelia.

“Worried about me?” Matthew’s lips curled into a smirk. He quickened his pace, creating some distance between him and Rainier.
Aurelia was taken aback by his teasing tone. After a moment’s pause, she spoke candidly. “I don’t want Old Mrs. Quigley to suffer the heartbreak of losing her grandchild.”
Moreover, she didn’t want to file for divorce because she had become a widow.
A faint smirk played at the corner of Matthew’s lips, his eyes revealing a touch of amusement. “It’s getting late; you should get some sleep.
“Alright, goodnight.”
As Rainier was walking, he noticed that Matthew had quickened his pace, seemingly forgetting about him.
He immediately hastened to catch up.
The beautiful woman by his side, in her high heels, was awkwardly trying to keep up with him.
“Mr. Quigley, could I possibly catch a ride with you to the hotel today? My car ran into some trouble on the road,” Rainier asked as he caught up.
Observing the situation, Gordon figured that Rainier must have something to discuss with Matthew.
After all, they were friends who had known each other for quite a while. They weren’t the best of friends, but they were familiar enough to be acknowledged by Matthew.
Suddenly, a sharp pain pulsed in his forehead.
He raised his hand and gave it a press.
When did such a large bump form? No wonder it hurts. I can’t believe my luck. After all those years of flying, the time I spend on planes almost matches the time I spend sleeping at home. Yet this is the first time I have such rotten luck!
“It’s not convenient,” Matthew rejected coldly without providing a reason.
This was just how Matthew treated people he didn’t care about.
Rainier was well aware of the fact, but he didn’t expect Matthew to reject him outright, not showing him any respect on Timothy’s account.
For a moment, Rainier was overwhelined with embarrassment.
Weren’t things perfectly fine before we boarded the plane and even during the flight? Why did his attitude change the moment we got off the plane? Could it be that the phone call he just took put him in a bad mood? Who was on the phone? Why on earth is he getting a call in the middle of the night? This has caused me unnecessary grief
Once they got in the car, Gordon pulled out his phone and tapped it against his forehead.
“F*ck! Talk about bad luck! I’ye been on a roll lately. How did I suddenly hit a streak of misfortune?
Matthew gave a quick glance at Gordon, then his gaze fell onto the Instagram feed, specifically at a phojo posted by Gordon over an hour ago.

Presumably, it was this photograph that prompted Aurelia to call him. He hadn’t noticed anything unusual about Rainier’s ring at the time. However, now, looking at the photo, there seemed to be something vaguely discernible about it. He wasn’t sure if it was due to Aurelia’s comments, but the ring did indeed make him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
“If Rainier seeks you out, keep your distance from him.”
Gordon was taken aback for a moment. He was surprised by Matthew’s icy tone and wondered if Rainier had offended Matthew earlier.
Could it be that the series of experiences on the plane has affected Mr. Quigley’s mood?
“Did Rainier offend you. Mr. Quigley?” he asked.
Matthew showed Gordon his WhatsApp conversation with Aurelia.
After he finished reading it, Gordon’s eyes widened in surprise. “No wonder I’ve been having such a rotten day!”
Just a moment ago, he was clueless about the reason, but now it all made sense.
Suddenly, something occurred to him.
If Rainier is carrying a disease, wouldn’t that cause harm to many people? Are Timothy, Henry, and Levi affected? Henry and Levi are particularly reckless when it comes to women. There might have been instances where they shared a girlfriend. Could they have gotten into trouble because of this?
“Should we arrange for Mr. Jagger and the others to have a health check–up?” Gordon asked.
Matthew fell silent for a few seconds.
Then, he unlocked his phone and sent a few words to a group chat with Timothy and Jeremy:
Rainier vomited blood on the plane. If you two have ever shared a girlfriend, it might be wise to get a thorough medical check–up.
His short message triggered a huge reaction.
Timothy responded in an instant: Vomited blood? What’s going on? Wait, when did you two become so close? And you’re even hanging out alone? I thought you didn’t really like hanging out with Rainier and Henry?
Jeremy: I hope Rainier hasn’t contracted AIDS, has he? I’ve seen him a few times at the restaurant before, he always seemed to have a cold that wouldn’t get better.
Timothy: D*mn it!
Jeremy: Timothy, you often hang out with Rainier and the gang, so got yourself examined, alright? Let’s not meet for a while. I wish you luck.
Matthew: Good luck to you.
Timothy didn’t reply, likely on the verge of losing his mind or busy arranging for a medical check–up the next day. Alternatively, he might be scrolling through his Instagram, meticulously checking if he had any

In any case, Matthew had to work late that night, but there were a few others who found themselves sharing his sleepless plight.
Inside the company, Xavier had just stepped out of the laboratory.
He saw Aaron standing before him, looking haggard and in a poor physical state.
Xavier acted as if he hadn’t seen Aaron, and walked past him.
Yet, Aaron stopped him again.
“Hold on a second, do you know that Aurelia is someone’s mistress? Do you know that not only is she a mistress, but she also had her sugar daddy target our family’s company? Our company is now facing countless issues, and who knows, she might be the one pulling the strings behind all of this.”
