Chapter 120 The Insanity Of A Million
“I saw Auri, but she didn’t say anything. Your father and I have already figured out who’s the man providing for her,” Lúna said.
Finished.
A jolt of fear struck Melanie’s heart. She steeled herself, gripping her phone tightly. Could it be that the very thing she feared was actually happening?
She genuinely didn’t want her parents to find out about the relationship between Aurelia and Matthew!
If they were to find out, they would certainly see Aurelia in a different light, and Melanie would undoubtedly lose her place in the family.
“So… Who did you guess?”
“It must be Jeremy, the youngest son of the Gardner family. He just got engaged, so he surely wouldn’t want anyone knowing he’s secretly supporting another woman. You mustn’t discuss this matter with anyone, understand? Even though the man she’s chosen is of high status, the family can’t afford the scandal of her being a mistress,” Luna warned Melanie.
Melanie was taken aback. “Jeremy?”
How did they guess that the person was Jeremy?
In truth,
at was her guess as well before. Could it be that she had guessed wrong? But Angela’s demeanor didn’t seem fake. So, who among them had made the wrong guess?
She was now fervently wishing that Aurelia was Jeremy’s mistress.
“Yes, it must be him. You should rest now, Mel. You’ve been through a lot with the recent happenings at home, but things are starting to turn around. Stay home and take care of your health. Don’t worry,” Luna advised before hanging up the phone.
Melanie was lost in thought, staring at her phone.
Could it really be Jeremy?
She was well aware, in all likelihood, that it was Matthew. However, she didn’t want her parents and brothers to find out!
Thus, since they believed it was Jeremy, she wouldn’t say anything to change their minds.
She tossed her phone aside and headed to the bathroom, staring at her somewhat haggard reflection in the mirror.
Last night was quite the wild ride. The new drug had made her feel ecstatic, as if she was on cloud nine.
As she was reminiscing about the wild night before, a new message notification from WhatsApp popped up on her phone.
When she saw the message was from Curtis, she frowned, somewhat annoyed.
She had long lost any feelings for Curtis.

However, when she noticed there were videos, she still ended up watching them.
Finished
At first, she didn’t think much of it, assuming they were videos Curtis had sent of their past dates and outings in an attempt to win her back.
When the unabashed, wildly unrestrained sounds from her came through the first video, her eyes widened in shock.
She intently watched the video, which was about her activities last night with that man she had only met once!
It meticulously documented her moment of unrestrained audacity.
After taking the drug, she had been in a frenzied state, completely out of control.
There were two videos in total, and she proceeded to tap on the next one.
She was utterly stunned at what she saw next. After the man had left, a few more people entered.
At that time, she was completely out of her senses, so she couldn’t recall what had transpired. All she knew was that upon awakening, she found herself alone in the room. The place was a complete mess, littered with used condoms.
Back then, she had simply assumed that the man was incredibly impressive, so she hadn’t given it much thought.
But it was only after watching the video that she realized just how outrageous last night had been. She could handle a lot, but this was beyond her!
With trembling fingers, she dialed Curtis‘ number.
“How on earth did you get these videos? Where did you find them? Curtis, you better explain yourself!”
The person in the video was her, she knew it all too well. If this video were to circulate, she would be done for!
How could that man from last night be such a jerk? Not only did he not come alone, but he even left the door wide open for others to join. What did he think I was? And he even had the audacity to film me like that!
Now the video had ended up in Curtis‘ hands. Just the thought of it made her skin crawl.
As Curtis listened to Melanie’s frantic roar over the phone, his own expression began to contort.
“Am I the one who should explain? Isn’t it you who needs to clarify things? It’s you in that video. I always knew you were provocative and cheap, but I never thought you could stoop so low. One man wasn’t enough for you, and in the end, you did it with so many others. You’re truly a slt!”
Melanie’s face flushed red with anger. “What did you just say? Curtis, do you even realize what you’re saying? Have you forgotten how you used to try to win me over? So, it was okay for you to grovel at my feet before, but now you dare to mock me? Do you think you’re worthy? The only reason I was interested in you before was because you were Aurelia’s boyfriend; I was just toying with you. Haven’t you ever thought about it? With your family background and capabilities, do you think you’re good enough for me?”
“Melanie Leedon, you’re utterly despicable!” Curtis was once again infuriated by Melanie’s shamelessness.

These days, he had become increasingly composed.
Finished
He often found himself reminiscing about their high school days. Back then, it was just him and Aurelia, carefree and untroubled. In their youthful innocence, they had pledged themselves to each other, believing they would spend the rest of their lives together in bliss.
Later on, it was he who changed first. He betrayed Aurelia, and it was all because of Melanie!
“What do you think would happen if I were to send these videos to Aaron and the rest, including Mr. Leedon? Oh right, and to your biological mother too. Let them all have a look.”
Horrified, Melanie hastily intervened. “Don’t!”
“You’re scared now, are you?” Curtis sneered coldly. He had his own ways of dealing with Melanie.
Gritting her teeth hard, Melanie was filled with regret for her reckless actions the night before. “What exactly do you want?” she demanded.
“Give me a million, and I’ll delete all the videos. No one will know your secrets. Curtis finally revealed his ultimate goal. “Otherwise, I’ll make sure these videos appear on various websites and everyone’s phone in the city of Jacaster.”
“A million? You’re asking too much! Where would I get a million?” Melanie was shocked.
“Of course you have the means. You can casually drop hundreds of thousands on a purse. I expect to see a transfer receipt in an hour. Otherwise, I’ll start spreading the video in an hour,” Curtis stated, promptly ending the call.
Melanie stared at the disconnected call on her phone, her eyes turning red in frustration.
“Damn it!”
How on earth did the video end up in Curtis hands?
She had a million, but after giving it to Curtis, she wouldn’t have much money left.
Perhaps out of fear that she wouldn’t pay, Curtis sent her another video.
In the video, all the men had left.
She was captured almost directly facing the high–definition camera lens, so her facial features were crystal
clear.
Curtis sent a voice message: “You’ve got fifty–five minutes left. There’s still time for a bank transfer. If you continue to hesitate, I’ll ensure your complete downfall once that fifty–five minutes is up.”
Melanie’s face turned deathly pale, and she nearly passed out.
That d’mned Curtis!
After clocking in, Aurelia went/straight to her workshop.
The arrival of Luna and Gideon did not disturb her in the slightest.
Once she entered her workshon, she was completely absorbed.

She was utterly oblivious to the fact that several people were watching her from the transparent window.
“Chad is truly out of his mind. Dad, if there’s really no choice, have Aurelia clarify things with Chad,” Jeremy said to Norman while observing Aurelia diligently working.
Norman sighed. “That brat indeed has good taste, but it’s a pity he made his move too late.”
