Chapter 102 My Grandson Does Not Make The Cut 30% Finished "Cut the crap!" The usually composed Xavier found no reason to maintain it in the face of Aaron's shamelessness. "The Leedon family's business practices are just as despicable as your personal conduct, and bankruptcy is just a matter of time! Do you feel better by dragging Aurelia into your mess?" He had heard from Charlie about the day when Aurelia visited him on set. The way Aaron and Spencer treated Aurelia was utterly disgraceful..
Aaron's expression drastically changed, yet there was a hint of embarrassment. "We're not trying to malign her. Aurelia broke up with her boyfriend simply because she found a better option." Xavier couldn't figure out what was wrong with Aaron's head. "Has your whole family been brainwashed by Melanie? She has clearly done a wonderful job. Can't you think independently anymore? If Aurelia really did set someone on you, it's because you pushed her to it. Don't caskingabout Auri in the future, I won't lift a finger to help your family!" However, he couldn't help but wonder what exactly had Aurelia experienced in the Leedon family. Something must have happened for the Leedon family to be so persistent. Who exactly is the man duri had married? He knew he had to seek out Aurelia to ask her about it.
I can't allow Auri to be bullied by others anymore! What happened with Curtis must absolutely not occur a second time.
Xavier forcefully pushed Aaron away.
Then he found a secluded spot, ready to give Aurelia a call, but ended up receiving a message from Aurelia on Whatinstead.
Xavier, when will you be free? Once you're done with your busy schedule and my husband is back from his business trip, Il arrange for you two to meet. Don't worry about me, I've been thinking things through before making any decisions. Once bitten, twice shy. I won't let myself be fooled again.
The worry that he felt just a moment ago vanished in an instant.
Xavier felt that he was influenced by Aaron, and he needed to trust Aurelia more.
After having a heated exchange with Xavier, Aaron returned to his laboratory. Staring at everything in front of him, his mind went blank, as if he couldn't muster a single thought.
Refusing to give up, he sent another message to Aurelia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe result was the sas before, his messages were completely ignored. Aurelia simply refused to respond to him.
Benjamin had once again discussed the current situation they were facing in the group chat.
At that moment, everything originated from the targeted attacks by Quigley Group toward them.
Quigley Group. How did Aurelia becassociated with them? If it wasn't Gordon, then who could it have been? Upon reflection, it indeed corresponded to what Xavier had stated. Why did we instinctively assthat 1/4 Chapter 102 My Grandson Does Not Make The Cut Finished The rise of the Leedon family over these past years had been particularly swift. Could it be that during our collaboration with Quigley Group, we did something that offended them? Aaron took a deep breath. No sooner had he shared his thoughts in the group chat than he was met with opposition and skepticism from both Spencer and Benjamin. Even his father chimed in, declaring it an impossibility.
They were still utterly convinced that Aurelia was the reason. They claimed that Aurelia was seeking their approval, aiming to beca part of their family, and she even desired to be added to their household registry for Jacaster. They believed that these were the reasons behind her numerous actions.
Suddenly, he found himself wishing that it had been Aurelia who did it. Perhaps then, there might still be a chance to turn things around The painting that needed restoration was delivered to Aurelia that day.
Norman was also examining it from the side.
As he examined the artwork, he simultaneously said to Joseph, “This painting looks to be in even worse condition than in the photo. It's certainly a real test of a restorer's skills!" Back when he was younger, he would feel unsettled when faced with ancient, paintings of such disrepair. Now, he was faced with a piece of work where one slip-up could ruin everything. It was undeniably a test of patience.
Joseph also wore a serious expression. This is a painting passed down from our ancestors and holds great significance. However, due to negligence in storage and accidental damage, it ended up in this state. Money is not an issue. As long as it can be restored, I'm willing to pay double the price." It was evident that the painting was what mattered, not the money.
After understanding the situation, Aurelia maintained an impassive expression and didn't say anything.
All she needed to do was assure them that she was up to the task.
"Young lady, do you think it can be restored?" asked Norman, his expression serious.
Joseph immediately turned his gaze toward Aurelia.
In reality, he wasn't confident. If even Norman felt that it was a challenge, it essentially meant the task was impossible.
Somehow, Old Mr. Gardner seems to have a great deal of trust in this strikingly beautiful young lady. However, she appears far too young and doesn't look like someone who can pull off such a feat.
He was mentally prepared for the fact that the painting couldn't be salvaged anymore.
Nevertheless, the thought of losing the painting filled him with dread. He felt that even in death, he wouldn't be able to face his ancestors.
Sigh! Aurelia, unexpectedly, nodded in agreement. "I can do it, but I'll need an additional half a month's time." 2/4 Chapter 102 My Grandson Does Not Make The Cut Joseph was shocked, while Norman was equally surprised, ☐30% Finished Had this been their initial encounter, Norman would have undoubtedly dismissed her words as mere talk. But now, he had cto understand the nature of this young woman.
She would never claim to be able to do something she couldn't.
At that moment, the task was indeed something she could accomplish.
He asked excitedly, "Young lady, are you sure?" "Indeed, I am. A few years ago, I restored paintings far more challenging than this one," Aurelia stated.

At the stime, she recalled how a few years ago, Hannah would return with sold items that were hard to restore every tshe went out. They ranged from antique paintings to porcelain vases. Much of it was restored by her..
Hannah had a lot of faith in her, providing her with plenty of opportunities to learn.
Moreover, she would meticulously guide Aurelia.
Upon hearing this, Norman was filled with hope. "That's wonderful!" Brimming with excitement, Joseph said, “Is it true what the young lady said?" "Don't worry, Old Mr. Delaney!" Norman reassured Joseph.
Aurelia responded with a smile. “I'll do my best to restore it, but I need you to be prepared, Old Mr Delaney.
This painting is extremely old and significantly damaged. It's not possible to return it to its original state, but I can assure you that I will absolutely give it my best." "Good! Good!" Joseph nodded repeatedly.
I trust anyone that Old Mr. Gardner trusts. Moreover, aside from his team, no one else would dare to take on the task.
With that, Aurelia took the antique painting back for restoration. As soon as she left, Joseph's eyes lit up as he asked, "Does that young lady have a boyfriend? My grandson is twenty-three this year. He's young and successful but never had a girlfriend. Old Mr. Gardner, do you think you could set them up?" The Delaney family needed a young lady like Aurelia for her calm and composed nature.
On top of that, she was also beautiful.
My grandson will love her the moment he sees her.
Norman threw Joseph a glance. "If my grandson doesn't stand a chance, yours can forget about it." "How old is your grandson? Is he over eighteen yet?" Joseph asked.
Is he saving her for his own grandson?" The thought of the matter alone was somewhat heartbreaking for Norman. “No, she's taken.”
