The Ex-Wife Strikes Back By Queena Laurie

Chapter 54 

After knowing that she was Aurelia, Jacob could not help but struggle. 

Nobody knew he and Hayden had made a bet to chase Aurelia! 

Jacob thought to himself, “Apart from the fact that Aurelia has already become Hayden’s person, the most important thing is that I lost the bet, but Hayden directly said I lost without mentioning a word. Isn’t this simply giving me a large order for nothing? Now I owe him a lot. Now that the formal notice and fax of Logistics Team A had arrived, that’s why Hayden asked this woman to thank me by inviting me to a meal, which is make sense. But on the other hand, Hayden told me in another way that I shouldn’t think that the arrangement of Michael’s work is to offset the favor. He’ll still give the orders of the Logistics Team A, but I still owe him a favor.” 

After clarifying it, it was no wonder that Jacob could not laugh. 

In fact, the meal today was not as complicated as he thought. 

Hayden did not know that Aurelia would invite Jacob to a meal, so there was no such thing as what Jacob thought. 

There would never be a lack of coincidence in the world. What was missing was that some people had to give countless reasons for the coincidence to prove that was not a coincidence! 

That was what Jacob was doing now! 

With that, he glanced at Aurelia with a complicated expression and found that she was really beautiful, temperamental, and charming. 

A lilac high–waisted dress outlined her full chest. 

Although nothing was revealed, the two vague chests seemed to be emitting heat of desire across the lace. 

It made the men have an impulse and desire to control it by just looking at it.. 

Gradually descending from her slender waist, it could be seen that her slightly puffed skirt covered her hips. Although one could not see how ecstasy that part was, her knee–length skirt revealed a pair of snow–white calves. 

On such an early spring and cold day, Aurelia wore a pair of suede heels with the same lavender color instead of stockings. 

Standing there, she really had an indescribably elegant and charming aura. 

Jacob could not take his eyes off her. 

He finally understood why a snobbish person like Hayden would fall in love with her. 

Even after Hayden returned to Druobridge, he could not forget her and kept in touch with her.. 

He could not realize her beauty until he looked at her that closely. 

Jacob felt a little annoyed and regretful. If he had known that when she was dressed up, Aurelia would be more attractive than the woman in the BMW that day, he would have gotten her into bed even if he had not bet with Hayden. 

That was bad. Because of Aurelia, Jacob lost the bet, and he even let Hayden sleep with such a beautiful woman, although Jacob was the one who helped the transfer of her father. 

Jacob wondered that he, the successor to Nuthana, might have been taken for a ride. 

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Jacob squinted at Aurelia and asked, “Ms. Swanson, do you really think it’s a pity that you missed the chance to know 

me?” 

Aurelia was stunned and her heart sank. She wondered “It seems that Jacob is really difficult to deal with as rumored! Listening to what he said, he seems to be dissatisfied with me. But the banquet hadn’t started yet. What did I do to piss him off?” 

There was a flash of anger and displeasure in her heart, but it did not show on her face, she still nodded quietly with a smile. 

“Of course! Even if Mr. Miller didn’t believe me, Aurelia, you should have believed in your demeanor. You can fascinate countless women. Do you guys think I’m right?” 

Seeing that Jacob had been looking for Aurelia’s trouble since he entered the room, Channing felt cold sweat on his back. 

At that moment, seeing that Aurelia changed the subject in a wise manner again, Channing wanted to speak up to help her out. 

But before Channing could speak, Jacob said right after Aurelia finished her words, “Ms. Swanson, you’re really gorgeous and charming today. But I still remember you showed your middle finger to my car that day in Navarre. I wonder if I’ve got the wrong person?” 

What? 

Upon hearing Jacob’s words, not only was Aurelia surprised, but even the two secretaries of Channing could not help but gasp slightly. They mused, “How dare she once raised her middle finger at Mr. Miller? What a strong woman!” 

They immediately looked at her with eyes full of surprise or sympathy, as if they were saying, “We really didn’t expect such a noble woman like Aurelia to have such a rascal side! No wonder Mr. Miller was surprised when he came in and saw her just now. There was such an episode in between!” 

Froze, Aurelia finally realized the reason for Jacob’s first sentence just now. With that, she felt her heart sank. It turned out that there were not only the

noble of Druobridge but also the foremost childe in Nuthana in the car. 

She was in trouble now. Jacob saw her arrogant and provocative gestures that day. No wonder he did not get moved matter how charming she was 

today. 

After all, Aurelia was reborn. Facing such a situation, she was inevitably a little embarrassed, but soon, her emotions were readjusted. 

She put away the charming smile, showing a slightly embarrassed and unnatural blush on her face. 

“It seems that Aurelia is really embarrassed in front of Mr. Miller this time. Mr. Miller saw such a bad side of her!” 

With a look of embarrassment, Aurelia bluntly admitted that the person was her, which actually prevented Jacob from continuing to attack her! 

After all, if Jacob continued to ask, it would seem that he was too small–minded and did not spare a woman’s fault. 

Moreover, Aurelia did not know that he and Hayden bet on her. It would be unwise to blame her for losing the bet. What was more important was that if he went too far and let Hayden know, it seemed that he could not afford to lose.
