The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 108 A Matter Concerning Aurelia 

A shiver ran down Gordon’s spine. 

It had been a long time since he last heard such an affected voice. 

Immediately, he wanted to turn around and see who it was. 

Upon doing so, however, he was taken aback. 

Melanie? 

Matthew glanced at her. 

Finished 

After waiting the entire day, the feeling she felt when she saw him look her way was like finding an oasis in the desert. She quickly walked toward him in her high heels. 

“Mr. Quigley, what a coincidence.” 

Melanie had arrived at the hotel the previous night, but it had been too late to knock on Matthew’s door. Moreover, he was staying in the presidential suite, so she could not have gotten in. 

She had purposely set her alarm for eight o’clock that morning. Yet, despite rising at eight and waiting since then, it was only now that she finally saw Matthew. 

In that time, she had already touched up her makeup four or five times. 

Thankfully, my perseverance has paid off, and I finally have the chance to see him. 

A somber light flickered in the depths of Matthew’s cold gaze. 

Gordon, who stood nearby, had already clearly sensed Matthew’s repulsion.. 

From the moment Boss first met Melanie, he had taken an immediate dislike to her. How oblivious can she be when it comes to reading the room? 

“What can we do for you, Ms. Leedon?” he asked. 

She could not help feeling a little annoyed at him. Can’t he see that I’m talking to Matthew? Why is he butting 

Smiling politely, she said, “Bumping into you here today feels like quite a serendipitous encounter, Mr. Quigley. Our previous meetings seem to have been rather unpleasant due to some misunderstandings. I believe I owe you an explanation. I’d also like to discuss a matter concerning Aurelia.” 

A matter concerning Aurelia? 

Gordon furrowed his brows, wondering if she was planning to stir up trouble again. 

Does she truly think I haven’t thoroughly investigated her and dug up all there is to know about the Leedon family? I know everything, and so does Mr Quigley 

Melanie had main character syndrome and believed everyone’s lives revolved around her. She thought that about her family, not to mention Matthew. She was convinced that as long as she put her heart into it,

“Take care of this,” Matthew instructed Gordon before heading straight to the elevator. 

Melanie did not even have time to stop him.

“Mr. Quigley, Aurelia has tricked you!” she called out frantically. Why is he ignoring me when it’s clear he heard 

me? 

After watching Matthew enter the elevator, Gordon turned to her and said, “If you have some information to share, you can tell me first. What did Ms. Shaw trick Mr. Quigley about?” 

She bit her lower lip, feeling dejected. What on earth has Aurelia done to bewitch Matthew? Why won’t he listen to me? His indifference toward me must be because Aurelia has been bad–mouthing me. 

“Do you know that Aurelia has a boyfriend?” she asked. 

Gordon raised an eyebrow. What does she really know? Previously, it was that misunderstanding between and Aurelia. Now, she’s dragging Mr. Quigley into H 

“Why does it matter whether he knows about it or not?” he countered with a vague question. 

Frowning, she responded irritably, “Of course, it matters. If Mr. Quigley knows she has a boyfriend yet still chooses to be with her, wouldn’t that make him the other man? And if he doesn’t know, that means Aurelia has pulled the wool over his eyes. Even if he only thinks of her as a lover, he deserves to know the truth. Moreover, Aurelia is part of the Leedon family. Her actions are an embarrassment to us, and we’ll be humiliated by association. If she crosses Mr. Quigley, our entire family will suffer.” 

He could not hold back a chuckle. There has to be something wrong with her brain, right? 

“Moreover, I’m certain that Aurelia has been speaking ill about the Leedon family to Mr. Quigley, which is why Quigley Group refused to work with us. Our family business has taken quite a hit and might even face bankruptcy. Therefore, I must get to the bottom of the entire situation. I hope Mr. Quigley will the opportunity and time to straighten things out,” she continued with righteous confidence. 

Amused, he asked, “Ms. Leedon, who told you of Mr. Quigley’s whereabouts?” 

His question left her at a loss for words. 

Immediately after, she started feeling somewhat flustered. 

grant me 

“I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. It was just a coincidence that I happened to run into Mr. Quigley today. There’s no rule saying I can’t be in this city or that I can’t stay at this hotel, is there?” she retorted, her eyes flashing. 

How did he find out that I got Mr. Quigley’s whereabouts from someone? It’s no wonder Benjamin warned her not to underestimate Mr. Zeller. Anyone who Mr. Quigley keeps by his side is no ordinary person. 

“Is that so? Would you believe me if I said that once I release your information and enquire about which private investigator was behind this, it’ll take no time for someone to tell me? Don’t overestimate your intelligence. If you dare bother Mr. Quigley again, your family will be obliterated. The smile on Gordon’s face disappeared, and his aura suddenly became chillingly intimidating. 

Melanie was so alarmed that her countenance shifted drastically. “You!” 

“Do you truly think others can’t guess your intentions?” Gordon looked at her as though she was an idiot. The whole trick she’s pulling today is utterly ridiculous!

Her face turned ashen. 

She had never expected that someone would see through her intentions so accurately.. 

“You’ve all been deceived by Aurelia!” she yelled in a fit of frustration. 

Finished 

At that point, he had no wish to say anything more to the foolish and pretentious woman before him. Sure, she might be able to deceive others with her innocent act. But to try those tricks with me and Mr. Quigley? Who does she think she’s fooling? The fact that I’ve managed to maintain my composure and refrain from giving her a good beating is already impressive. It has been a long day, yet I still have to waste my time dealing with an idiot. Unbelievable! 

With that, he also headed toward the elevator. 

She stood rooted to the spot and looked utterly crestfallen. It had never occurred to her that her painstaking efforts in taking a flight and waiting an entire day would come to such an end. 

Clenching her teeth, she spat out spitefully, “Aurelia, I swear I won’t let you have the last laugh. So what if you have Matthew backing you up? I’m the one your parents and brothers adore! Soon, your adoptive mother and brothers will also favor me. By then, you’ll be a lonely person no one cares about!” 

She pulled out her phone, opened WhatsApp, and looked up Phyllis. A scornful smirk appeared on her lips as she stared at Phyllis‘ profile picture. 

Without a second thought, she sent a voice message: “Mom, I realize my mistakes now. I hadn’t figured things out before this. Now, I understand that you went through so much to bring me into this world, and it was unforgivable of me to disown you. Please forgive me, Mom. I know you might not easily forgive me because of Aurelia, but I hold no grudges against you. If you’re free this weekend, I’d like to visit you.” 

She waited several minutes, yet there was still no response from Phyllis. 

Nonetheless, it did not bother Melanie. After all, I’m her biological daughter. I don’t believe she’d have the heart to ignore me. 

When Phyllis saw Melanie’s text, she was somewhat puzzled. Has Melanie really thought things through? I can’t bear to turn her away. After all, she’s my biological daughter. 

She hesitated for several minutes before responding to the text with an affirmative. 

After returning to his room, Gordon took a shower and went to lay in bed, but sleep cluded him. Eventually, he reached for his phone and sent Aurelia a WhatsApp message: Melanie somehow managed to track down Mr. Quigley’s whereabouts and followed him to the hotel. She probably guesses that you and Mr. Quigley are together but doesn’t know you two are married.
