The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 130 Influenced Somewhat 

Luna was taken aback. “Has it really come to this? We have to sell off family properties now?” 

“We have to. The company won’t last much longer.” Gideon never thought he would ever find himself in such a situation. 

For many years, he was full of confidence and ambition. He believed he had firmly established himself in Jacaster, and the question that remained was whether he could ascend to the ranks of the first–rate prestigious families in the city. 

Yet, he was facing bankruptcy. 

Luna panicked. 

Seeing that her children in the group chat were seemingly oblivious to the severity of the situation. Luna began to feel fear creeping in. Ifour family is done for, will we be forced to bear debts? I have a bad feeling about this. 

After having her lunch, Aurelia finally checked her phone. 

Upon seeing the inquiries from Xavier and a few of her friends, she discovered that Nancy had used her phone to post a picture on her Instagram. 

That one picture triggered a huge reaction. 

Aurelia knew Nancy was trying to help her regain dignity by showing her friends on Instagram that she had emerged from her struggles and even found a new love.. 

Still, Aurelia explained her relationship with Uriah to her friends and family. 

After giving it some thought, she decided to take the initiative and clear things up with Matthew with a message: The photo on my Instagram was posted by a friend who was unaware that I was already married. The man in the picture is my friend’s cousin. 

Matthew responded: Okay. 

Upon seeing Matthew’s response, Aurelia slipped her phone into her bag. 

Nancy leaned in close to Aurelia, whispering, “Has the news blown up? So many people are eager for a spectacle. This will assure them that many people are still interested in and pursuing you!” 

Aurelia pinched Nancy’s cheek. “This post also blew me up.” 

“You’re better off that way. Just look at my cousin. You really should give him a chance. My cousin is a good guy. If he ever mistreats you, our entire family will have his head,” Nancy said with a chuckle. 

e truth. 

“I have a flash marriage, Nancy.” Aurelia decided to tell Nancy the 

Otherwise, one day Nancy might just sell her off. 

Nancy didn’t believe it. “Stop joking around.” 

“I’m telling the truth. One day I’ll show you my marriage certificate.”

“I might believe it if someone else had a flash marriage, but you? Nah. Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are? You just broke up with Curtis a few days ago. Throughout these few days, you’ve been recovering and job hunting. How could you possibly have time to rush into a marriage? And what kind of man could possibly make you into a flash marriage without hesitation? If you’re not 

interested in my cousin. I can introduce you to other people.” Nancy said, looking as if she had seen through everything. 

Uriah emerged from the restroom, noticing two ladies engrossed in a hushed conversation. He chose not to intrude. 

Aurelia somewhat regretted not carrying her ID card with her. Whatever. I’ll just bring my marriage certificate along the next time I visit Nancy. 

After replying to Aurelia, Matthew made another phone call. “No need to investigate him further. He’s just an insignificant person. 

When Aurelia returned to Starry Sea Mansion, Matthew was not there. 

She was just about to head upstairs to change her clothes when she received a call from Matthew. “Are you done vet?” 

“I just got home, replied Aurelia. 

“Grandma just called me.” Matthew said in a gentle voice. “There’s something she wants to talk to you about. Do you have time to visit her?” 

Without a second thought, Aurelia responded, “Of course I have time. Are we heading to the Quigley residence? I can drive there right now.” 

“Gordon has gone to pick you up. You don’t need to drive yourself. You can rest in the car.” 

“All right.” 

Once Aurelia entered the car, Gordon didn’t speak at first because he was wondering how to start the conversation. 

His boss had specifically instructed him to let Aurelia rest in the car, If he were to idle away in chatter and disturb Aurelia’s rest, his boss would definitely be upset. 

However, there were some things he really wanted to say. 

“Do you have something to say, Mr. Zeller?” Aurelia noticed that Gordon kept glancing at her through the rearview mirror as if he had something on his mind.. 

Gordon opened up immediately. “Ms. Shaw, do you still remember Rainier?” 

“I do. What happened to him?” 

“Ever since he was diagnosed with AIDS, many around him got tested. Recently, several of his girlfriends have also tested positive for AIDS. Previously, the Mosley family had even nurtured Rainier as their heir, allowing him to throw caution to the wind and act arrogantly. Of course, he wouldn’t dare to act this way in front of Mr. Quigley. I had a few university classmates who worked in the Mosley family’s company before, and they were all schemed against by him behind the scenes.” Gordon himself wasn’t quite sure what he had said.

All he knew was that upon seeing Aurelia, he felt compelled to explain everything as clearly as possible. 

“Hmm. What about now?” Aurelia asked. 

“Right now, everyone in the Mosley family is avoiding him like the plague. Actually, Mr. Quigley isn’t that good of a friend to him because of Mr. Jagger. The last time Mr. Quigley and I were on a business trip, your timely phone call saved us from sharing a ride with him. Otherwise, Mr. Quigley and I would have definitely been dragged into his misfortune.” At that point, Gordon had a lot of faith in Aurelia. 

Whatever Aurelia forbade him from touching, he absolutely refrained from doing so. 

The experiences he had from before were particularly bizarre. 

“It was only later that I learned the ring he wore was a gift from his second uncle a year ago. I had noticed it a few months back, and it always seemed somewhat unsettling. It looked good, but for some reason, it just seemed off somehow. I didn’t expect it to actually have an evil aura! I can’t help but wonder if we share a ride with him someday and then frequently meet afterward, will we also be in danger?” Gordon was particularly curious about this. 

“Yes. Anyone who had been around him for the past year, whether often or occasionally, will have been affected.” Aurelia stated decisively. “However, the evil aura from that ring he’s been wearing has been particularly strong recently. If you’ve spent a lot of time with him, your life will undoubtedly be in danger.” 

Gordon inhaled sharply. “Thank goodness you saw my post on Instagram that day.” 

Aurelia chuckled lightly. “Everything happens for a reason. The fact that I spotted your post in time means you’re a fortunate one. Despite the few mishaps you’ve encountered due to others‘ schemes, I’m sure you’ll have a smooth and peaceful year ahead.” 

“If it weren’t for you, Ms. Shaw, I may be very unlucky right now. It’s all thanks to you! Speaking of which, you mentioned earlier that those who have been close to Rainier recently will be affected to some extent. Is it really so? Henry and Levi often hang out with Rainier, and all sorts of contracts and collaborations they handled have gone awry, causing heavy losses. It’s really bizarre. Even Mr. Jagger was affected, though not as severely as them both,” said Gordon. 

“During this period, try to spend more time outside, soaking up the sun and playing basketball. That way, even if you encounter someone with an evil aura in the future, it won’t affect you.” Aurelia wasn’t surprised. Everyone present that day who had substantial contact with Rainier would be affected without exception. 

It was simply a matter of luck whether the affected matter was significant or minor. However, evil auras had a harder time getting close to those with clear consciences, so those people wouldn’t be affected as much. 

“Great! From now on, I’ll hit the basketball court right after work!” said Gordon. 

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Quigley residence. 

Three cars were already parked in front of the mansion, one of which belonged to Matthew. The other two were unfamiliar to Aurelia. 

It seemed that Mabel had guests over.
