Chapter 1451: Chapter 1451: Wants to Entrust the Parker Family to Her

Everyone’s eyes were strained, unwilling to miss a single detail.

Four hours later, the video was finished playing.

Everyone rubbed their dry eyes.

Aurelia Shaw’s voice sounded: "You’ve all finished watching the video, but where are you? You were standing right there, how can you not remember what you look like?"

"May... maybe I got the dates wrong, it wasn’t two days ago, it was... five days ago."

Aurelia smiled, "I’m willing to watch five days’ worth of surveillance with you, but I don’t want to waste that time. If you want the footage from five days ago, I can get it for you. But if we still can’t find you then, my time won’t be wasted, the Parker Family isn’t easily bullied or played with."

The man’s body shook, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"There... there is no video, someone... someone gave me money to smear Miss Parker."

"Who told you to smear me?" Aurelia asked.

Seraphina Parker’s fingers clenched tightly, and the Second Madame looked anxious.

The man glanced quickly towards Seraphina, then lowered his gaze, gritted his teeth. If he confessed, he might just get beaten by the Parkers and sent to the police.

But if he betrayed Seraphina, it’s not just the Parkers he has to fear; Seraphina won’t spare him either.

"I don’t know!" the man said through clenched teeth.

Aurelia’s eyes narrowed, "If you tell me who’s behind this, I won’t hold you accountable."

The man gritted his teeth, "They left the cash at a specific location, I’ve truly never seen them, I’m telling the truth!"

There was no point in questioning further. Aurelia waved to have her servants take him away.

A sharp gaze fell upon the Second Madame and Seraphina; with a smile, Aurelia approached Seraphina, "I apologize for the disruptions at your coming-of-age ceremony because of my matters. Rest assured, this man’s mouth may be like iron, but I will pry it open and find who’s behind this."

Seraphina’s palms were sweaty, as Aurelia’s gaze seemed like a sharp sword, piercing through her thoughts.

Seraphina forced a smile, though it looked awkward, "Yes, the real culprit who harmed Aurelia must be found."

The banquet resumed its usual flow; Hudson Parker watched the whole scene from the second floor, a satisfied smile on his face. He adored Isabella Parker’s daughter immensely; she was clever—so clever—and decisive, with no mercy, showing true grand style.

It’s a pity she’s a girl; otherwise, he’d hand over the Parker Family to her.

The Second Madame noticed the satisfaction in Hudson’s eyes and grew more anxious. The old master had always favored Isabella; when she was in the Parker Family, he intended to hand over management to her. With Isabella’s daughter back, it’s inevitable he’d consider placing the Parkers under Aurelia’s control.

For her son’s future, the Second Madame knew she had to drive Aurelia out of the Parker Family.

Viscount Zhou leaned over and whispered, "Did Seraphina hire him?"

Aurelia instinctively asked, "Which one are you referring to?"

The Viscount hesitated, recalling the woman who seized the opportunity to stab them earlier, his anger rising, "Both of them?"

"I’m certain the man was hired, the woman... she has a grudge against me, but I’m not sure if Seraphina hired her," Aurelia said casually, while enjoying some dessert, "Want to try some? It’s delicious."

The Viscount looked at her, his anger seeming to hit a wall of cotton, helplessly chuckled, "Here I am worrying for you, carefree girl, and yet you’re eating freely!"
