Florence said, “After my husband and Ms. Simmons left the restaurant, they went to the hospital to take
care of me. Ms. Watson, do you need me to show you the surveillance footage of my delivery in the
hospital?”
Florence’s anger was evident.
Zachary immediately stepped forward. He swallowed his pride and comforted, “Mrs. Lynch, calm down.
It’s all a misunderstanding!”
Florence raised her eyebrows and said, “Misunderstanding? I don’t think so. If it was just a
misunderstanding, how could anybody post such photos in my name?
“Mr. Zeller, it’s not just your company involved now that Jason has also been slandered. If I don’t stand
up and investigate thoroughly, wouldn’t it turn into a mess?”
Zachary frowned deeper and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, we will definitely investigate thoroughly.”
Florence stopped pressing Zachary and simply reminded him, “I have to come here to clarify for my
husband just after giving birth to my child.”
“I wonder how my father will deal with the culprit if he finds out about it. One should always weigh the
pros and cons in life.”
Zachary couldn’t refute and broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that, Aurelia thought for a while and walked up to Florence.
“Mrs. Lynch, please don’t worry. Our company and colleagues trust me. They haven’t caused me any
trouble. On the contrary, I’m sorry to Mr. Lynch, so I will apologize to him in person another day.”
Florence shot Kimberly a contemptuous glance.
“Look here, this is the so–called ‘considering the overall situation.‘ It’s unlike kicking someone when
they’re down.”
Upon hearing that, Zachary and other colleagues immediately looked at Aurelia gratefully.
Only Kimberly seethed with jealousy.
Florence snorted softly and turned to look at Aurelia.
“Ms. Simmons, I specially ordered someone to make pumpkin soup for you, so please have a taste.
You are my savior, and even my father said he wanted to meet you. Don’t let the uncultured swine
affect your mood.”
Kimberly’s gloomy figure froze on the spot while her colleagues mocked her in silence. This was the
biggest humiliation she’d ever faced since having joined the company!
Aurelia ignored Kimberly and took over the thermos jar. “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.” Florence urged, “Quick, try it.”
Aurelia took a glance at Zachary.

Not daring to offend Florence now, Zachary nodded vigorously at her.
Then, Aurelia pointed to her seat. “Let’s go to my place.”
Florence hummed in response and had someone push her wheelchair to Aurelia’s workstation.
Aurelia unfolded the quillow into a blanket and covered Florence with it.
“Mrs. Lynch, don’t catch a cold.”
“Thank you.” Florence smiled.
Then, Florence whispered a little apologetically, “Ms. Simmons, I’m sorry that I can’t pinpoint Kimberly
in public. Above all else, I have to consider the reputation of the two companies. Secondly, if I expose
her, I’m worried that she will pick on you even more.”
“I understand.”
“Then you…” Florence suddenly said mysteriously, “How do you know Ian? You are the first woman Ian
has ever helped.”
“Ian?”
Aurelia paused with the spoon in her hand. She looked at Florence in confusion.
“I came here in a hurry, so I didn’t have time to prepare the surveillance footage. He restored the data
and sent it to me. He can’t be going out of his way for a woman. That’s why I’m curious about how you
two met.”
“I really don’t know Ian,” Aurelia responded quickly lest Florence misunderstood that she had
ingratiated herself with lan.
Florence frowned. “Do you not know him? Then why did he help you?”
Aurelia was also curious.
A handsome figure inexplicably emerged in her mind. It was Leslie.
Did he help her?
Aurelia was lost in thought.
Suddenly, Florence leaned in closer to her and changed the subject.
“Don’t worry about Ian. He is unfathomable anyway. By the way, I heard from Jason that you were
married. You rejected him for your husband. So, I’m curious about what your husband looks like. Can
you show me?”
Aurelia was somewhat hesitant. But seeing that Florence had no bad intentions, she nodded.
It just happened that she had a wedding photo on her phone.
“I have a picture. Actually, he is…”
