Chapter 36 As Pitiful As A Wounded Deer
With Aurelia's Twitter account suspended, there was no way for her to post the videos. Consequently, she- couldn't bring the truth to light.
At Xavier's silence, Aurelia said, "I'll find a lawyer."
"Auri, the lawyers in Jacaster probably won't take your case. The legal team hired by the Leedon family is quite renowned here. Even their PR team is formidable." Xavier's heart was heavy, his expression somber as he said that.
Aurelia held the phone in silence.
If someone were in her bedroom and saw how tightly she was gripping the phone, they would be able to perceive just how much hatred she harbored.
"Perhaps you should go and meet your biological parents and show them the videos. They might be able to help you and prevent this matter from escalating further," Xavier. suggested.
That was also the solution his friends came up with after much discussion.
He knew that Aurelia had no desire to see her biological parents at this time.
Moreover, they were currently oppressing and bullying her without hesitation because of Melanie. If she were to seck them out, their treatment of her would not be favorable.
It was truly unfair to Aurelia.
As her brother, he felt like there was a lump in his throat that he couldn't lend her a hand.
Aurelia's eyes were slightly red-rimmed as she grunted an acknowledgment softly. "Let me think about it some more. Don't worry about this for now, Xavier. I know you've been dealing with some issues of your own recently. My situation is no big deal. I'll handle it. I know you're worried about me, but I've grown up. I'm not the same child who used to cry at the first sign of trouble. I'll face these challenges with perseverance."
She should have been able to handle these matters well, but unexpectedly, she still ended up causing her family worry,
On the other end of the phone, Xavier's eyes also went red-rimmed after he had hung up.
After Aurelia had hung up the phone with Xavier, she received a call from Charlie.
When she had briefly explaining the situation, Charlie wanted to come and look for her.
She declined, simply asserting that she could handle the matter, telling him to focus on his work without worrying.
After hanging up the phone with Charlie, she glanced at the time and saw it was already half past six.
She changed and went downstairs, taking a cup of yogurt from the refrigerator.

As Aurelia stared at the caller ID, coupled with the words Xavier had just said to her, a stab of pain struck her. Should I give them another chance?
"You finally answered the phone! Do you realize your mistake now? You're our daughter at the end of the day, so as long as you admit to your mistake, we will forgive you this time. The things online will be forgotten after a while. Your father and I will send you abroad for some time. While you're there, behave yourself and don't cause any more trouble. Did you hear what I just said?"
The instant Luna saw the call being answered, she was overwhelmed by an indescribable feeling. It was as if relief flooded her.
Despite that, she couldn't suppress her dissatisfaction and vented it all out in a flurry of words..
Aurelia's cold voice drifted out of the phone. "The photo is real, and I have videos of them going to the mall
Luna was taken aback for a moment. Then, she immediately retorted in disbelief, "What did you just say? It's real? That's impossible. How could it be? Mel has always been chaste, unlike you, who simply moved in with Curtis."
Aurelia's heart went cold, and she sneered. "It was Melanie who told you that again? Check your WhatsApp after hanging up the phone."
In order to tarnish my reputation, Melanie can come up with any excuse, a typical
case of detesting others' virtuousness because of her own moral failings!
A few minutes after hanging up the phone, Luna called again.
"So, you've watched it?" Aurelia asked.
"Mel is destined to have a good marriage in the future and mustn't be ruined by this incident. Auri, listen to me. Let's end this matter here. I won't ask you to apologize anymore, but you must not mention this to anyone else. Consider this a debt Mel owes you. I will talk to your father about compensating you. Their behavior is just a bit intimate. It doesn't mean anything," Luna said.
"Even a kiss doesn't mean anything to you. Your values are indeed questionable, Mdm. Campbell. As I thought, I shouldn't have held any illusions about you all."
After saying that, Aurelia hung up right away.
Her heart, long since riddled with countless wounds, had initially felt a glimmer of hope due to Xavier's words, thinking that perhaps her parents weren't entirely
beyond redemption.
Alas, that was merely a delusion.
When Matthew descended the stairs, he happened to overhear her on the
phone, catching snippets of her
conversation.
After hanging up the phone, although Aurelia didn't shed any tears, she looked
like a wounded cub, pitifully licking her wounds in solitude.
Matthew's ebony pupils darkened, something seemingly stirred within his heart.

The sound of footsteps descending the stairs startled Aurelia.
She lifted her head and looked at Matthew. The lingering hatred and pain in her eyes had yet to dissipate and reflected right in the depths of Matthew's dark
pupils.
Matthew was taken aback.
She's unlike usual.
Realizing that she had lost her composure, Aurelia immediately lowered her
gaze.

With long strides, Matthew went over to her. Noticing her downcast mood, he said. "The tea you gave me last night was very effective."
About an hour after he drank the tea, his agitated and dreary mood almost calmed down entirely. Unwittingly, sleep eventually took over.

She didn't want anyone to see her in such a state of panic and helplessness.
Snagging her bag, she didn't even spare Matthew a glance. She rushed to the door, changed her shoes, and. promptly opened the door, walking out right away.
Matthew's brows furrowed. He retracted his gaze and looked at the cup of yogurt on the table that Aurelia hadn't had the chance to throw away.
If there was nothing pressing, she usually prepared a nutritious breakfast for herself in the morning.
The pair of eyes as pitiful as a wounded deer earlier flashed across his mind once again. The temperature around him plummeted a few degrees.
He looked at the message Gordon had just sent him on his phone.
It was not due to lack of evidence that Aurelia didn't retaliate against the Leedon
family on social media. Instead, it was because her accounts had been
suspended.

Therefore, now that Aurelia was being bullied, he felt inexorably guilty for not
stepping in to help, especially when he knew the truth behind the matter.
Last night, he was tormented by guilt and couldn't sleep well. Seeing those
unaware of the truth being swayed by the Leedon family's ghostwriters, he was infuriated.
However, he had to wait for Matthew's orders. Without being instructed to help Aurelia, he didn't dare help her openly,
