The host’s eyes gradually widened..
She turned around, looking at Benjamin with a somewhat incredulous expression.
Why is he saying a different thing from what he told me before? Isn’t this unreasonable?
Finished
Suddenly, a thought struck the host. It was often said that a lot of drama went on within. prestigious families. Looking at the situation now, it was clear that they were bullying Aurelia..
“How much can I earn in a month? I’d like to know,” Aurelia said as she glanced at her watch. Zayne had just informed her that they were about ten minutes away.
“Twenty thousand a month. That should cover your daily expenses. Your current salary is only around ten thousand a month, isn’t it?” Benjamin mentioned money with an air of superiority.
Twenty thousand was considered a substantial amount for many white–collar workers in Jacaster.
How much could Aurelia, who has just started working, possibly earn?
Upon hearing the amount was twenty thousand, Melanie furrowed her brows, clearly dissatisfied.
Even if she is taking care of Mom at home, why twenty thousand? The housekeepers don’t get more than ten thousand. Is Benjamin being overly generous toward Aurelia? It’s clear that he is showering her with money.
At that moment, the older onlookers detected some tell–tale signs from the expressions and. somewhat arrogant attitudes of the siblings.
“Do you know how much I make in a month now?” Aurelia couldn’t help but laugh.
It was puzzling where Benjamin’s sense of superiority came from.
“How much you earn isn’t really of much importance. What truly matters is filial piety, isn’t that right, Ms. Shaw?” The host, catching on, began to make amends for his earlier oversight.
Aurelia looked at the host. “If filial piety is so important, why didn’t your program teach them to take proper care of their mother, who had worked so hard to raise them? Instead, you focused on blackmailing me emotionally. They didn’t want to take care of her, so they’re pushing the responsibility onto someone who isn’t even registered in the same household. Does the law support their actions?”
“Why does something seem off? They claim to be family, but it feels like Aurelia’s brother isn’t treating Aurelia well.”
“I feel the same way too. Why don’t they take care of their mother themselves? Instead, they expect Aurelia to quit her job to look after her. I heard from Phyllis that Aurelia’s job is really good, and she has just started. Isn’t it obvious they are just taking advantage of her?”
“Just a moment ago, letting Aurelia visit was the plan, but now it’s all about setting everything

aside to show her filial devotion. The more I think about it, the more it doesn’t feel right.”
Finished
Listening to the neighbors‘ chatter, Aurelia pondered to herself. She realized that few people in the world shared the same values and perceptions as the Leedon family. The vast majority of individuals possessed a normal set of principles and sound judgment.
Does the Leedon family consider everyone else fools, believing themselves to be the only intelligent ones?
The host, upon seeing the situation, nearly burst a vessel from frustration. She turned to Benjamin and asked, “You just misspoke, didn’t you? You meant to say that you hope Ms. Shaw could visit your mother more often, right?”
What they wanted was not a mere visit.
However, there were many people present now, and for some reason, they all started taking Aurelia’s side.
Benjamin furrowed his brows, as he couldn’t just go along with what the host was saying. If it was merely a visit, he wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble of inviting the production team
over.
We’re doing this just to force Aurelia to go back and take care of Mom.
“After giving it some thought, I realized that her quitting her job would be beneficial for her. The salary we offer is significantly higher than what she is earning now. Plus, taking care of mom at home wouldn’t be too exhausting, and it’s suitable for a girl.” Benjamin’s attitude softened considerably after some deep contemplation.
Yet, the words that were spoken still held their original intent.
The host was left speechless, she could only switch tactics and say to Aurelia, “I think he has a point. The money earned from working outside isn’t much. If you could take care of your mother, the salary they offer is even more than what you’d make outside. It’s beneficial for you too, isn’t it? It’s a win–win situation.”
“Can they match my monthly salary of a million?” Aurelia asked the host, her face devoid of any expression.
“A million a month! You must be dreaming!” Benjamin exclaimed angrily.
At that moment, the neighbor who had just returned and lived across from Phyllis spoke up. “It’s not impossible that she is making millions. I heard from her mother that Aurelia is very dutiful. At few days ago, she bought a four–bedroom house. Once the house is completed and the renovations are done, their entire family plans to move there. Aurelia is really making something of herself now!”
The host turned pale upon hearing this.
She just started working and is already able to buy a four–bedroom house in Jacaster? What on earth is Aurelia’s job? Wasn’t she supposed to be doing some odd jobs at Gardner Group?

Melanie was even more incredulous, “This… How can it be possible?”
Aurelia remained silent, an air of nonchalance surrounding her.
Finished
The host was left dumbfounded, unable to cope with the unexpected situation that had arisen. Coincidentally, a phone call came through. “Hello, Director Lynch…”
Upon hearing what Wyatt Lynch, the director, had to say, the host’s face grew increasingly pale.
After hanging up the phone, the host asked Benjamin, “Did you withhold any information from the production team?”
The show had been running for over a year and this was the first time such a situation had occurred.
Now it was uncertain whether the show could even continue.
Benjamin found himself frowning at the question and was still reeling from the shock of Aurelia buying a house. Before he could gather his thoughts, he saw Zayne, dressed in a sharp suit and wearing gold–rimmed glasses, approaching. A few police officers trailed behind him.
“Did your production team get my consent before coming here to film?” That was the first question Zayne posed to the host.
The host was taken aback and felt as if she had seen this lawyer before in some news report.
Upon seeing Zayne, Benjamin’s eyes widened further. “How did… Are you the lawyer hired by Aurelia?”
Zayne is Quigley Group’s I. How could… How did Aurelia manage to persuade Zayne to help her?
“I’m Ms. Shaw’s lawyer. Whatever issues you have, you can speak to me about them.” Zayne exuded a sense of being in complete control of the situation.
It was as if he had everyone’s fate in his hands.
It also served as a warning to those present. Whoever upset his client would have to suffer the
consequences.
Then, he turned to the few officers behind him and briefed them on the situation.
The police had already been filled in on their way there, so they turned to the production crew and said, “We’ll need a statement from all of you. Even if it’s for a TV show, you can’t proceed. without permission from those involved.”
The production crew and the host were all taken aback by what was happening.
This… If our show ends up getting into trouble with the police, rival TV stations will seize this opportunity to kick up a storm, and our show will be doomed!
Suddenly, the police officer received a call.

After hanging up the phone, his expression turned even more serious than before. “Your TV station’s actions are out of line. You even caused a disturbance at someone’s company! Now, Gardner Group’s lawyer has arrived at the police station. Let’s go.”
Aside from Aurelia, who remained calm, the rest of the production crew, including Benjamin and Melanie, were all taken aback, completely caught off guard and unable to mask their surprise.
As she was descending the stairs, the show host recognized Zayne.
“Are you Mr. Luther?”
Zayne didn’t show much emotion. “Mmm–hmm.”
The host’s face instantly turned even paler.
Aurelia hadn’t anticipated the extent of Zayne’s influence. It had not only intimidated Benjamin but had also frightened the host.
