Chapter 1351: Chapter 1351: Greedy Old Men Who Value Money Over Their Lives

"Alaric, I’ve been wanting to ask for a while now, is Xiaodu... me?" Aurelia’s brow furrowed, "But I have no memory of that name."

She shrugged and laughed, "Maybe there’s something wrong with my brain. I got seriously ill when I was young and forgot things related to you. Later I fell off a wire rig and injured my head, maybe I forgot other things too."

"It’s okay if you don’t remember. I’ll tell you in the future." Alaric curved a doting smile.

Aurelia looked at Alaric.

Alaric could see her determination in her eyes.

"You said the same thing to me on the plane. I’ve been living here for so many days. When will the ’future’ be?"

Alaric pursed his lips, his brow lightly furrowing.

It seemed that this time if he didn’t tell her, she wouldn’t let it go.

Just as Alaric was about to speak, Aurelia’s phone rang.

Aurelia looked at the caller ID, her brow furrowed slightly, and answered the call.

"Okay, I’ll be there soon, wait for me over there."

Ending the call, Aurelia gave Alaric an apologetic smile.

"I have something important to deal with first, we’ll talk about today’s matter when I get back."

"Alright."

Alaric nodded.

After watching her leave, Alaric took out his phone and dialed a number, "Check if there’s any problem with the show ’World’?"

The person on the other end tapped on the keyboard, quickly finding the result, "Brother Alaric, it seems there’s an issue with the broadcast channels for ’World’."

Alaric frowned, "Wasn’t it already resolved?"

"Well... not too sure, it seems a few guys changed their minds last minute."

"Ha!" Alaric coldly curled his lips, "Those greedy old bastards, willing to risk their lives for money."

"Prepare the car."

Basil noticed Alaric coming out, "Brother Alaric, going somewhere?"

Alaric smirked with a hint of mischief in his red eyes, "Time to teach those clueless greedy old bastards a lesson."

Basil seemed half-understanding, but it must be related to Miss Shaw.

...

Aurelia took a car to the hotel where Amanda Fuller mentioned, Amanda led her to the private room door, "They’re inside, Alison is here too. These old guys, changing what was already agreed upon last minute!"

"We only had a verbal agreement with them. It’s normal for profit-driven businessmen to suddenly back out if someone offers a higher price. Luckily, these few are in M Nation, otherwise I’d have to return to the country."

Returning to the country would put her under Mason Nightshade’s surveillance, might even encounter him.

She had no desire to return and meet him.

Besides, Alaric would likely not allow her to return.

Aurelia knocked on the door.

Finnian Zhang saw Aurelia outside the door, was stunned, she... how was she here?

Aurelia smiled, "Mr. Zhang, I heard you and Mr. Li were having dinner here. I happened to be nearby and came by to visit. What, not inviting me in?"

Finnian Zhang awkwardly tugged at his stiff mouth, "No, not quite convenient today."

Aurelia frowned, "Someone told me Mr. Zhang is here with others discussing plans to break the contract, not airing ’World’?"

"How... how could that be!" Cold sweat appeared on Finnian Zhang’s forehead; he wiped it, recalling the people behind her.

Isn’t Aurelia just a businessman’s daughter? Her family even went bankrupt, yet why are there so many powerful people behind her?

Yesterday his company’s stock suddenly dropped, someone warned him.

If Alison hadn’t contacted him today, offering a high price, he wouldn’t have come.
