Chapter 150 The pot calling the kettle black
“Assistant Gallagher, you’re welcome. Let’s get busy first. Call me if you need anything.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Callum and Aurelia arrived at the hotel first. Rory had arranged in advance to stagger their departure time with the following cars. Five minutes after Callum entered the hotel, they followed the normal procedure, first going to the parking lot and then entering the hotel.
So when the others got off the car, they didn’t see the Emperor. Briar looked around and asked the bodyguard, only to find out that Aurelia had arrived at the hotel five minutes ago and was probably in the room now.
After hesitating for a while, he still felt that he should call her, but when he called, the phone rang several times before being ruthlessly hung up.
What’s going on with this Aurelia? He thought about it carefully and whispered to the bodyguard, “Is Mr. Finnegan here?”
Rory had told the bodyguard in advance what to say and what not to say to whom, so the bodyguard nodded truthfully to Briar’s question.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
That’s right!
Briar put away his phone, pulled his suitcase obediently, hummed a little tune and rolled to his room. He would not disturb the couple who were reunited after a long separation .
Just as he thought, the presidential suite was bustling with activity. It was winter but the heating was sufficient.
The phone she had left aside rang a few times, but Callum turned it off without even looking at who was calling.
And during the whole process, the two of them didn’t separate for a second…
“Wait a minute, I’ll go take a shower first.” During the past few days in Nancun, the weather was too cold and the conditions were not good enough, so she hadn’t taken a decent bath.
Callum refused in a hoarse voice, “We’ll wash it together later.”
“… I haven’t had a good bath for several days.” She answered truthfully. Knowing that this man had a mysophobia, she thought that if she responded to him, he would let her go first.
Unexpectedly, she thought too much, and the man refused directly with action.
When they were in the car, Callum wanted to take her directly, but Aurelia refused because there was a driver in the front row.
Without looking at each other, she knew how passionately he was staring at her at this moment. He was indeed too attractive, and even every line in his outline revealed incomparable elegance and nobility, but–
His eyes were so deep and slightly rebellious and charming, as if they had a kind of enchanting magic power, and his whole person exuded a strange and dangerous aura that was irresistible.
Now that they finally have a world together, Callum begins to exercise his rights.
In the room next door
A girl excitedly circled around the presidential suite several times. You get what you pay for. It’s really magnificent! She rolled over on the big bed countless times, holding her chin and saying, “I must thank Aurelia when I have the chance. If it weren’t for her, I might never be able to afford to live in such a luxurious presidential suite.”
The chubby boy nodded in agreement, his tone full of excitement, “Even the car is so comfortable. I’ve never ridden in a Bentley before! A five million dollar car! Oh my god, I usually don’t dare to get close to a car. Today, thanks to Aurelia, I got to ride in one.”
Briar leaned against the door and joked lazily, “You can follow me in the future. I can let you ride in luxury cars every day!”
Evelyn had been despised by Briar all the way, and finally found an opportunity to mock him, and of course she would not let it go, “You ride in a luxury car every day? Everyone in Evercrest knows that your father is controlling you very strictly now. No one dares to pick you up in South Village!”
Briar walked out of the impoverished and cold South Village, feeling the warmth in the presidential suite. She was in a good mood and rarely angry. “Same here. Why didn’t your dad send a car to pick you up? And you got your sister Aurelia’s help?”
Hearing Briar say this, many people looked at Evelyn in surprise, and everyone started asking her, “Student Evelyn, is Aurelia your sister?”
“Why haven’t I heard you say this before?”
“Are you biological sisters?”
…
Evelyn’s smile froze. She never admitted that Aurelia was her sister outside, and she didn’t want to have anything to do with her. Now that Briar had said it, she could only nod and admit, “Cousins.”
To her, Aurelia is her cousin. To Aurelia, she is her cousin.
After hearing her confession, some gossipy girls came over and continued to ask her, “What kind of family does she come from? How dare so many luxury cars pick her up? Is she a rich second-generation?”
Evelyn cleared her throat and pretended to be uncomfortable and said, “She is actually quite pitiful. My uncle and aunt divorced a long time ago, and my uncle passed away a long time ago…”
This directly denies the claim that Aurelia is a rich second-generation.
So, the same thought popped up in everyone’s mind at the same time, but no one dared to say it out loud, after all, Briar was still standing here!
Briar also knew what everyone was thinking. All her good mood was gone. She angrily retorted to the gossiping classmates, “You have nothing better to do than to eat and drink? Why do you care so much? Aurelia’s boyfriend is rich and loves her very much, so he came to pick her up in person. I only brought you along because you are all volunteers doing charity work. Do you really think you are human beings? How dare you think nonsense?”
Briar was right. Callum had indeed sent so many cars to take them back, including all the food, accommodation and transportation, because he wanted them to go to South Village to do charity work in the middle of winter.
But he put all the credit on Aurelia.
The person who was having wild thoughts was rebuked by Briar and immediately became obedient.
Leo, who had been sitting on the sofa and looking at his phone in silence, became even more silent. He saw with his own eyes that Callum’s Imperial on Aurelia was driven by Rory himself.
There is only one person in Evercrest who can command Rory, Callum.
Plus, Callum’s car arrived at the hotel five minutes earlier, obviously to avoid them. If he guessed correctly, Callum was also here, and he was traveling with Aurelia…
He had been avoiding many things about Aurelia before and was unwilling to think about them, but if he used his brain a little, he could see what was going on.
The boyfriend that Briar mentioned about Aurelia is Callum, right?
If they were really a couple…
There is a reasonable explanation for the fact that Aurelia got drunk that night and went to Callum’s place, and that Aurelia dared to shout “Callum I love you” ten times at school, or that nothing happened after she confessed to Callum in front of Elliot at school…
