Chapter 103 Just then, her phone buzzed with a video call from her mother.

Quickly gathering her thoughts, she answered, “Mom, I'm in another city. Avery's shooting a movie here, | came to visit.” “Is Avery with you?” Jolin Hawthorne asked.

“No, he has a dinner tonight with the producer and director. Life in entertainment industry comes with a lot of socializing.” “Do these events cost a lot of money?” Jolin asked with a hint of concern. After all, there was no extra money at home to support their son.

Aurelia instinctively glanced at the man across from her and stood up, moving a bit away.

“He’s signed with an agency, they naturally invest in him. These events are company—sponsored, so he doesn't have to pay. And my job is going pretty well, I've been covering his expenses, so you don't have to worry.” Leopold leaned back in his chair, watching her with a somber expression.

He couldn't hear what she was saying, but he was certain it was about money.

Was she purposely moving away because she felt guilty? Jolin seemed relieved after hearing her daughter's words.

“Aurelia, don’t spend all your money on Avery, save some for yourself. You're not getting any younger, and you can get yourself a partner.” Aurelia smiled, “Mom, consider this an investment. Once Avery hits it big, do you think I'll lack for anything?” Her comment made Jolin laugh, “Alright, go eat. When Avery comes back, have him call me.” “Okay.” After hanging up, Aurelia returned to the table.

Leopold poured her a glass of juice, “Is your child support enough?” She was taken aback for a moment and then laughed awkwardly, “Of course.” If she could become a director, her salary would double, and with bonuses, she would be able to repay him.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Leopold's voice across the table, “Isn't it better to be a CEO’s wife than a director? Could a director make as much money?” She took a sip of her juice, looking at him seriously, “One is money | earned through hard work, the other is given by someone else. How could they be the same?” Leopold raised an eyebrow, was this her last act of defiance? “Actually, having someone give you money is a skill in itself.” Aurelia remained silent.

He was the kind of person who only cared about the result, not the process.

Her eyes swirled with a mischievous glint. Leaning in slightly, she lowered her voice, her words intended only for his ears, “Mr.

Leopold, have you forgotten that I'm already your wife? Even if our marriage is al 12 Chapter 103 secret, you can’t deny that I'm the legitimate wife of the CEO of Astral Enterprises, can you?” Leopold choked on his drink and began to cough.

Aurelia stuck out her tongue, “I haven't tried being a director yet, that’s my current goal. If you don’t want me, I'll look for another company.” A hint of anger flashed in Leopold's eyes, causing his handsome brows to furrow, “Since you're aware of your status, you should know that changing companies would be harder than reaching the sky!” His voice was cold, seemingly freezing all her hopes.

She shivered.

Her status? God, how could she have overlooked this? The wife of the CEO of Astral Enterprises, switching to their competitor, Ethereal Gems, as a director! This would cause a sensation in the business world! Would CEO Leopold not care about his reputation? Would Astral Enterprises not care about their reputation? “... | understand your concerns. Don’t worry, if | leave, it will be after | give birth to your babies and divorce. you. By then, | won't be the wife of Astral Enterprises’ CEO. | promise no one will ever know our secret. When | die, I'll take it to the grave with me.” Leopold's lips tightened.

Her words made him uncomfortable, dropping his mood to subzero levels.
