Chapter 200 How Will You Thank Me
“Is everything taken care of?” asked Matthew.
“Yes. Mr. Luther asked me to leave first. He’ll handle the rest.” Aurelia got into the car.
Finished
Thinking about how she wouldn’t have been able to enlist Zayne’s help if it weren’t for Matthew, she added, “Thank you.”
“How will you thank me?” Matthew flicked his cigarette as he looked into the distance with an unreadable look in his eyes.
A deep and seductive voice echoed from the phone, reminiscent of his tempting whispers in her ear at night when he asked her if she felt comfortable.
Each word made her heart race faster.
Even without Matthew by her side, Aurelia still blushed.
“Let’s grab a meal together,” she suggested, taking a deep breath to keep her voice as calm as possible.
Matthew pressed the cigarette into the ashtray and exhaled a final puff of smoke. “I’m going to eat you.”
“What?” Aurelia’s heart pounded as she wondered if she had misheard.
Upon hearing that, Matthew could almost visualize her surprised expression. For some reason, he no longer felt as irritated as before. “Think carefully about how you’ll thank me tonight.”
Aurelia heard him clearly this time. “Wasn’t last night…”
She abruptly stopped talking mid–sentence.
Recalling the scene from last night, when Matthew was with her in the bathtub, she could still feel a faint ache in her waist and back.
“Aren’t you scared of feeling fatigued?” Aurelia touched her burning face, trying to stop the endless images flashing in her mind.
Matthew replied, “It’s only for a few times.”
Aurelia was at a loss for words.
Aurelia didn’t go to work as she had taken another day off.
She went back first to see Phyllis and update her on the current situation.
Phyllis was extremely upset with the Leedon family’s actions. She thought that they were utterly immoral, selfish, and despicable.

Coincidentally, Xavier was also there.

Upon hearing that Aurelia had hired a lawyer, both of them felt relieved. They entrusted the matter to the lawyer, confident that it would be resolved effectively.
Moreover, there was no need to confront the Leedon family.
“They will remember their lesson this time and won’t bother you for a while,” said Xavier in a deep voice.
Aurelia chuckled. “They have a poor memory, but they can’t hurt me.”
Just as Xavier was about to say something, he suddenly thought of Matthew.
With Matthew around, the Leedon family couldn’t hurt Aurelia. He had heard from his friends that Zayne, who was Quigley Group’s legal counsel, was considered a god–like lawyer in Jacaster Any tricky situation would be resolved once it landed Zayne dealt with it.
Suddenly, Xavier remembered the recent incident involving Aurelia, Curtis, and Melanie. The swift turnaround in Aurelia’s circumstances suggested that Matthew must have been pulling strings behind the scenes.
“Regardless, you must be careful in the future,” reminded Phyllis worriedly.
“Okay, Mom. Don’t worry.”
Not long after, Charlie called to ask about the situation.
There weren’t many secrets within their circle.
After all, Spencer had quite a few fans and there were many paparazzi secretly taking photos of him. Recently, he lost quite a lot of work. The paparazzi had also been suggesting that Spencer would not be able to survive in the entertainment industry in the future.
Within a few days, Spencer and his entire family found themselves in the police station.
With the popular television program also being involved, news spread rapidly within an hour.
“Don’t worry, Charlie. The matter has been resolved.”
Charlie was still somewhat uneasy. “Spencer is a petty and vengeful person. This time, the issue escalated quite a bit. Both he and the production team have started trending on the Internet. Thankfully, you’re not in any of the videos or photos. If you ever encounter his family, avoid them. It’s not that we fear them, but rather, we want to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Feeling touched, Aurelia nodded. “Okay.”
After leaving home, she received a message from Zayne while on her way back to Starry Sea Mansion.
The Leedon family, with Benjamin as their
Presentative, publicly apologized. The apology

The production team would apologize as well. Similarly, they would have to pin the apology on their Twitter account for a month.
However, things didn’t end so easily. Zayne mentioned that this time, they didn’t just upset her, but they also provoked Gardner Group.
The Gardner Group was relentless towards the Leedon family and the production team.
However, Zayne also revealed that the most crucial part was that they had upset “Mrs. Quigley!
Upon hearing that, Aurelia recalled the call she had with Matthew.
She owed him yet again.
Justin glanced at his phone.
Up until now, Nancy had not sent him a single message on WhatsApp.
Is she busy?
He recalled what Jeremy said yesterday. Has Nancy already noticed something?
“Shut up! Don’t speak yet!” he yelled immediately.
“Mr. Hoffman.”
As a familiar woman’s voice echoed. Justin shifted his gaze from his phone to Gwendolyn.
The typical office attire, when worn by Gwendolyn, became anything but ordinary.
Her figure was stunningly perfect with shapely curves, the kind that could turn heads wherever she went.
However, Justin was an exception.
When he saw Gwendolyn, who had abruptly entered the office, his expression remained unchanged. He asked coldly, “Who let you in?”
Feeling his cold indifference, Gwendolyn teared up in indignation. “Am I completely absent from your heart? I thought you’re with me because you like me. You should know the kind of girl I am. After all, my first time was with you.”
A cold glint flashed across Justin’s eyes. “Your first time?”
Gwendolyn bit her lower lip. “I was so eager because I like you.”
“Name your price,” said Justin, clearly lacking patience.
However, as Gwendolyn gradually approached, Justin felt his previously firm decision slowly wavering.

That was an experience Nancy couldn’t provide him.
Every time, it would make him reach the heights of ecstasy.

“I don’t need money, Mr. Hoffman. All I want is to be with you. I don’t need any formal. recognition. Just let me stay in the company. Whenever you need me, you can find me. If you don’t need me, I’ll stay quiet, as if nothing ever happened. I promise that I’ll be good, Mr. Hoffman. Trust me.”
While Justin was momentarily distracted, Gwendolyn seized the opportunity. She stepped forward and embraced Justin.
The smell of a familiar, enticing perfume scent wafted into Justin’s nostrils.
He didn’t utter the words of refusal that he was about to tell her.
“Will you really behave?” he asked.
Gwendolyn beamed. “Absolutely! I’ll be really good. I’ll do anything you ask of me, as long as it’s within my abilities!”
After she spoke, she dropped to her knees, her hands skillfully working to undo Justin’s belt in an attempt to please him.
“Trust me, Mr. Hoffman.”
Justin looked down. The look in his eyes became more complicated as he watched Gwendolyn.
The temperature in the office gradually increased.
A WhatsApp notification popped up on the phone that Justin had left on the table.
Justin noticed it from the corner of his eyes, but promptly dismissed it from his mind.
