Chapter 18 Looking Down
Before long, Gordon brought Aurelia to a design studio.
The place must have been cleared out, since there were no other customers around.

As arranged by the stylist, Aurelia changed into a haute couture black strapless gown. At first, she didn’t think much of it. However, after her makeup and hair were done, Aurelia saw a version of herself in the mirror that she had never seen before.
The dress appeared simple at the first glance, but the openwork design at the back revealed her delicate back without a doubt, accentuating an aura of n
When Gordon emerged from the restroom and saw her, he was immediately dumbstruck by her beauty.
From the moment he first saw Aurelia, he knew she was beautiful. Her features were delicately exquisite. However, he never imagined that a simple dres
Gordon didn’t dare to look any further. Hastily, he picked her up and started on their way back.
Aurelia, dressed in a skirt and high heels, found it inconvenient to drive. Hence, it was Gordon who drove the car.
Since he was driving a car worth not much, he was stopped directly by the security guard when he arrived at the auction house’s parking lot.
“Apologies, sir, this is the parking lot for the auction house, and we do not permit outside vehicles to park here.” The security guard’s words were harsh.
He apologized upfront, but his attitude was condescending. It was as if he was on the verge of saying outright that it was not a place for ordinary people like them.
Upon seeing a luxury car approaching from behind, his face immediately changed as he prepared to greet it.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Aurelia raised an eyebrow.
Gordon knew that in many places, there existed a phenomenon of people looking down at someone. However, when accompanying his boss on trips, he
His face turned cold immediately. “You’ve never seen me before?”
At first, the security guard didn’t pay much attention, as he didn’t saw their faces.
People who drove those kinds of cars worth just some bucks were simply not worth his time to even glance at.

However, after hearing the man’s words, the security guard unconsciously glanced toward him.
Upon seeing Gordon, he was completely taken aback. “Mr. Zeller?”
After all, Gordon often attended the auction house with Matthew of Quigley Group, and the staff at the auction house were trained to recognize those prominent figures from Ja
“You’ve done a good job with your work. I’ll speak with your supervisor later,” said Gordon.
The security guard, frightened and breaking out in a cold sweat, quickly bowed and explained. “There were too many people coming in tonight, so we did
With a cold chuckle, Gordon retorted, “Is that so?”
Finally, he drove in.
Aurelia watched the scene unfold with indifference, feeling nothing in particular.
There were far too many people in this world who looked down on others with contempt, for example the Leedons. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
After a short while, Aurelia was brought to Matthew.
Dressed in a tailored suit, Matthew still maintained his immaculate appearance and upright posture. However, his aura was cold and stern. His entire bei

When Aurelia approached, she noticed the displeasure on Matthew’s face. Could it be that he disapproved of my attire, thinking it was embarrassing him?
She felt that the stylist had chosen excellent outfits and makeup for her, and she was quite fond of her look for the day.
“Don’t I look good on them?” Aurelia finally voiced out her question.

Standing beside the two, Gordon was left dumbfounded by what he heard.
He couldn’t help but feel that Aurelia didn’t seem to be particularly interested in his boss.
If she truly cared about Matthew, wouldn’t she be in a hurry to clarify any misunderstandings if he thought she was trying to seduce other men?
In the auction house, quite a few people had already taken their seats as arranged by the staff in advance.
Melanie and Gideon sat in the farthest corner.
There were many people in the venue. It was said that the items up for auction were all collectibles. Even if one couldn’t secure a bid, it was still an opportunity to broaden one’s horizons.
Gideon had the opportunity to attend the auction only because someone gave him this opportunity. Knowing that Gideon was going to attend the auction
Although the Leedon family had their own company and properties in Jacaster, they were worlds apart from the elite families there..
Gideon wanted to seize the opportunity to get to know those people, while Melanie also had her plans. She wondered if Matthew, who had caught her ey the hall.
“Dad, you mentioned before that Quigley Group had given us a project, which advanced our family’s company a step further in the industry. If Mr. Quigley comes to the auction today, can we find an opportunity to spea
Gideon was also somewhat hopeful. “If there’s a chance, sure.”
Suddenly, a previously heard conversation came to his mind. “Mr. Quigley is still unmarried. Mel, you’ve always been outstanding. If I could introduce yo

Of course, Melanie knew what Gideon was planning. With a blush, she lowered her head and said, “Dad, I understand.”
“Mel, you truly live up to being my daughter. You’re really smart,” Gideon couldn’t help but praise.
Suddenly, he was taken aback.
“What’s wrong, Dad?” Melanie asked, noticing the sudden surprise on Gideon’s face.

Gideon stared at the man and woman sitting at the front. The man was Matthew, and the woman, judging from her silhouette, seemed somewhat familiar. She bore a slight resemblanc
“A female companion?” Melanie immediately looked in the direction where Gideon was looking.
Even though it was just his back, a fascinated gleam flashed in her eyes when she saw Matthew. He was also dressed in a suit, yet he stood out more, a more eye–catching than the others.
Surprisingly, there’s a woman beside him. The gown the woman wore resembled the haute couture piece Melanie had longed to buy but couldn’t afford or find. The woman’s back was expose
Looking from behind like this, she really does resemble Aurelia… thought Melanie.
