The Ex-Wife Strikes Back By Queena Laurie

Chapter 81 

Chapter 81 

What did this mean? 

It meant that the relationship between Aurelia and Jacob was not equal. 

Generally speaking, people like them were dominant in their relationships with women, and the women would do everything to please the men. However, it was the complete opposite in Jacob and Aurelia’s relationship. 

Quinton did not understand how such a relationship was formed. He thought, Aurelia is good, but she can never be better than Jacob, the foremost childe in Nuhana. 

He can get any woman as long as he wills it. 

What is it about Aurelia that makes Jacob show his deepest concern for the first time?‘ 

Moreover, Jacob did not notice his current subtleness and dangerous situation showed that his feelings for Aurelia developed naturally. 

This was definitely not a good thing for people like them. 

Undoubtedly, no matter how much Jacob liked Aurelia, his future wife would definitely not be her. 

“Is it better to let a woman Jacob likes so much be? This woman may not even like the danger that comes with him, and she might even hurt Jacob’s feelings in the future,” Quinton continued to ponder. 

Quinton could not help but look at Aurelia with thoughtful eyes. Aurelia noticed the complicated and sharp gaze and immediately looked up. “Quinton, what’s wrong?” 

“Aurelia, I can see that Jacob cares about you very much. He has never been as happy as today. Among our group of friends, his alcohol tolerance is not the best but the most consistent. He has never been drunk!” 

Aurelia was stunned. Although she did not understand why Quinton said those words to her, she understood that there must be a reason for it. She wondered if he had noticed the unusual relationship between Jacob and herself. 

After thinking for a while, Aurelia chose the most tactful and error–prone answer. “Yes, I’m very grateful and honored to receive Jacob’s help and Quinton’s warm support.” 

Quinton said, “Aurelia, you are a smart woman. I appreciate your personality very much. If you were a man, you would definitely be our best friend, but since you’re a woman and Jacob likes and cares for you so much, remember that you should never hurt or use him! This is the only thing I ask of you! As long as you do this, you can also come to me if anything happens in the future!” 

He continued, “On the contrary, if you hurt him, then today’s embarrassment and future hardship of Hector will be your future! I believe you understand! Also, I’m very happy today. Normally, I shouldn’t tell you this, but I am a straightforward person. If we become friends in the future, you will know that I didn’t want to regret only after something terrible. happened. I will say whatever I like ahead of time. Can you understand what I mean, Aurelia?” 

Aurelia looked a little grim, and she felt even more unpleasant. 

Quinton’s words were a real warning and threat. He was telling her not to use Jacob’s feelings and identity to do something that was disadvantageous for Jacob. 

In addition, Aurelia also should not think that her relationship with Jacob was righteous. She was still a woman in the end. If she wanted to settle down, she must have self–awareness of her position. 

As long as she did not try to impede Jacob’s future and his future family, Quinton would not mind her, and he would also give her some convenience and help. 

On the contrary, Quinton was capable of punishing Aurelia the same way Jacob did to Hector today. 

Aurelia wanted to stand up straight and return his disdain fiercely because she never wanted to get entangled with Jacob at 

all. 

Furthermore, she also did not want to obtain any economic or material benefits from Jacob like what Quinton assumed. Aurelia was capable of leading a better life than that. 

Aurelia wanted to say, “What kind of woman do you think I am. Quinton, for you to jump to conclusions directly?” However, she did not say anything about all this, including the fierce retort and anger in her heart, because she understood. that she had nothing at present. 

The scions thought highly of themselves, so they preconceived that women were willing to acclimatize to them because of the numerous conveniences they could get from them, whether in terms of privilege or economic materiality. 

Therefore, even if Aurelia swore that she did not want anything, no one would believe it. On the contrary, Quinton and others would despise her more. 

In that case, it was better for her to remain silent than to argue and protest since it would be proved sooner or later.

However, Quinton’s words had reminded Aurelia in her mind. After leaving Xandenia this time, everything related to Jacob that she could get rid of or allow to fade should be let go of while it was possible. 

It was not only for herself but also for Jacob’s good. 

Her body could belong to anyone without any care about chastity or promiscuity. However, her heart had to remain free and relaxed. 

Since Jacob was not a good companion for the rest of her life, the slightest trace of emotions, even sympathy and gratitude, would be superfluous and should not exist. 

After making such a decision, Aurelia smiled and looked at Quinton calmly. “Mr. Marshall, don’t worry. I understand and know what to do!” 

Since she had not been accepted by the others from the beginning, it would be too bold of her to call him by his first name again. 

Aurelia very naturally transitioned to address Quinton as “Mr. Marshall” again. 

Quinton immediately recognized it, and the way he looked at Aurelia became more complicated. 

He thought, “I’ve underestimated her.” 

Aurelia was not only intelligent, calm, and ruthless, but she was also confident and proud. 

Unfortunately, her family background was subpar. If Aurelia had been born into a political family, she would be the top choice for an arranged marriage by many family descendants. 

However, fate had it that she would be a commoner. 

Quinton put away his emotions and said indifferently, without hiding his prideful demeanor. “Then I will leave Jacob to you today. I’m leaving now!” 

Since Jacob was asleep from being drunk, he would not know about their exchange. 

With Aurelia’s wisdom and sophistication, she would definitely not tell Jacob about this conversation today. 

“Mr. Marshall, take care!” Aurelia also said indifferently without excessive politeness. 

Half an hour later, Aurelia watched as everyone left before she finally looked at Charles, who did not know if he should stay or leave. Aurelia said with a smile, “Charles, it doesn’t seem to be possible to continue today. I’m staying at Marina Hotel. You can check into a room there too. Let’s meet at the western restaurant of the hotel at 7:30 am. tomorrow, and we can have breakfast together. I have something to discuss with you too. What do you think?” 

“That sounds fine to me, Ms. Swanson. Then, I’ll be leaving first!” Charles replied. 

Aurelia said, “Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow morning!” 

Charles also left, but Dylan appeared from somewhere and similed at Aurelia respectfully. “Ms. Swanson, Mr. Miller is drunk. Can you stay here tonight?” 

Aurelia glanced at him faintly. Although the realization in his eyes was hidden, she still saw through him. 

She knew that her status had changed in Dylan’s eyes as Jacob was left alone. 

A few hours ago, Dylan might have thought that Aurelia was also a second or third–generation descendant from an aristocratic family. 

However, the way everyone else left and left Jacob to her immediately made Dylan realize that Aurelia had only gained temporary honor because of her relationship with Jacob and was a nobody on her own. 

Dylan thought Aurelia was not even as powerful as him at the moment, so naturally, he did not look up to her anymore. Aurelia was aware of these, and this understanding left her more embarrassed. 

However, these were something she could not change at present. Even if she was angry or full of resentment, she could not reveal it to others. 

She had to continue wearing a smile that even she thought was extremely hypocritical and pretend to be dignified. “No need! You can go back to your work.” 

“Okay!” Dylan agreed. 

He did not expect Aurelia to refuse his proposal. Dylan wanted to add some more, but after seeing Aurelia’s completely reserved and dignified expression without a smile, he immediately held back. 

He could only nod awkwardly and left in embarrassment. 

After Dylan left, Aurelia supported Jacob with one arm and told Andrew, “Andrew, Jacob is drunk. I can’t rest assured if others drive him. It’s nighttime now, so it’s better that you personally drive him home!” 

“Okay, Ms. Swanson!” Andrew nodded without hesitation and then came forward to help support Jacob’s body.

Only Jacob’s secretaries looked at Aurelia in surprise. They seemed to be stunned that Aurelia was not staying there to serve Jacob for the night. 

Aurelia’s gaze immediately swept over them coldly. “If I were you, I wouldn’t repeat the offense of deciding on your own 

accord.”
