Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Tomorrow?

The day wasn’t even over yet, but he was already talking about the next day’s lunch.

Well, it was just a lunchbox. She needed to make one for herself anyway. She could just increase the portion. “Alright.”

The conversation ended there.

Millie frowned and looked at Aurelia. “Aurelia, you've been biting on that fork this whole time. Who is it that’s making you so annoyed?”

Aurelia sighed, “Beef stew.” Millie swallowed her mouthful of food before saying, “Is it your husband? You're actually likening him to beef stew? That’s very...” That was very unbecoming, wasn’t it?

But Millie didn’t dare to say it out loud. She pursed her lips and continued to eat her food. Then, she unintentionally saw Aurelia’s lunchbox.

“Aurelia, didn’t his family give you any meat? Your meal is just full of greens. Eating all that might even make you turn green!” Aurelia remained silent. At that moment, Aurelia was thankful.

Fortunately, she had picked up the wrong lunchbox. Otherwise, if Leslie saw the lunchbox full of greens, his face would have turned green too.

Seeing Aurelia’s silence, Millie thought that she had tacitly agreed and couldn't help but sympathize with her. She quickly gave Aurelia a couple of beef slices.

“Aurelia, have some meat.”

“Thanks.” Aurelia smiled.

Their conversation happened to be overheard by Kimberly, who was making coffee in the pantry.

Kimberly raised her coffee cup, and her lips curved up into a sly smile.

So, that was the case.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Aurelia always embarrassed her. She wanted to make Aurelia experience that embarrassment too!

After Aurelia finished eating, she checked up on her mother via video call with Karen. Then, she laid her head down on the table and took a nap.

Hearing her phone vibrate, she stretched lazily before heading to the restroom.

While seated on the toilet, her mind was still addled with sleep, and she continued to daydream with her eyes half closed. At that moment, the door to the restroom opened, and two voices engaged in conversation reached her ears.

‘Really? Isn’t that too pitiful? Good thing I’ve decided not to get married in this life.”

“| really don’t understand what she’s thinking. She left her good-looking ex-boyfriend and married an ugly guy, only to be mistreated by her in-laws.”

“| heard that she married the ugly guy but still misses her ex-boyfriend. She couldn’t bear to throw away the high heels that he had given her and even wore them for three years!”

“No way! She’s usually dressed so conservatively, so | thought that she was an honest and responsible person. Who would've thought that she’d be such a complicated person?

“Haha, okay, let’s stop talking about it.” The voices of the two individuals gradually became more distant. Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief. She made sure that the restroom was completely empty before she dared to get up and flush.

The women’s restroom was like the intelligence bureau of the entire building. Although no names would be mentioned, everyone would know who was being talked about.

But, who were they talking about this time? Who was so unlucky to be abused by her in-laws? Someone who wore the same pair of heels for three years? That seemed inexplicably familiar.

Aurelia didn’t dwell on it too much. She washed her hands, neatly redid her hair, and then straightened her slightly wrinkled dress.

After making sure that she looked presentable, Aurelia walked out of the restroom, only to find that everyone who walked by her would give her an extra glance.

She wondered if she had missed something that needed tidying up.

“Aurelia!” Millic rushed over, panting.

“What's wrong?” Aurelia reached out to support the breathless Millic.

“Look at this! | saw it in the community chat.”

The community chat was a group chat created by acquaintances in the building. There were employees from various companies in it. In short, it was just a gossip group.

Aurelia used to be in that group chat, but there were too many internal conflicts.

The late-night discussions about trivial matters and the group members‘ tendency to always tag everyone annoyed her. Eventually, she grew tired of it and left the group.

She never thought that she’d become the subject of discussion in that group one day.

“Who's the one from Young Advertising that’s being mistreated after getting married?” the accountant from the foreign trade company upstairs inquired.

“No, | heard that it’s her in-laws who treat her horribly. Not only does she have to take care of her seriously ill mother, but she also has to bear the actions of her nasty mother-in-law. The worst part is that her husband looks like a bull, ugly but strong, so she doesn’t dare to resist. “Today, she only ate vegetables for lunch, with a few pieces of shredded meat. After eating. she was so tired that she fell asleep. Poor thing,” The receptionist from the consulting company downstairs sent, adding a sad emoji after the text.

“What's so pitiful about it? | heard that she broke up with her boyfriend because of and then she married someone else in a fit of anger. Isn’t she just reaping what she sowed?” the designer from the adjacent renovation company criticized.

“Now she’s stuck with a man who's worse than her ex-boyfriend for the rest of her life.” The discussion about how her husband wasn’t as good as the ex-boyfriend continued for more than 99 messages.

Although Aurelia’s name was never mentioned from the beginning to the end, who else in Young Advertising had recently gotten married and had a mother who was seriously ill?

Aurelia held the phone and looked at Millie hesitantly. “How did they find out?” Millie was visibly startled, and she shook her head vigorously,

“Aurelia, it’s not me! It’s really not me! At first, it was just a few people in the company upstairs discussing the relationship between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. | didn’t
