Chapter 467 Ritchie swaggered in, dressed in a flashy Armani suit, looking every bit the nouveau riche.
“Uncle Zack, Aunt Jolin, and Aurelia, I've switched jobs, and I'm raking in a fortune now.” He deliberately came to show off.
Aurelia was slightly taken aback, “What kind of job did you switch to?” “I'm a driver and assistant for a big shot,” Ritchie replied.
“Which big shot?” “That's none of your business. All you need to know is that they treat me exceptionally well. This suit was a gift from them.” Ritchie boasted.
Aurelia didn’t dwell on it much. Perhaps his security job in the office building was impressive enough to attract the attention of a company boss.
If he could truly mend his ways and walk the straight path, it would be a cause for celebration.

He stayed for dinner before leaving.
In a while, the jewelry show would be held in Country Eldoria. Aurelia had already started reparations.
obs and money were a woman's greatest support, while men were unreliable. The only thing in this world that would never betray was money, even if someone stole it, the police could help you retrieve it.
If a man cheated on her, she could only chalk it up to bad luck, and the police wouldn't intervene.
Over the weekend, Jelena called to invite her shopping. Coincidentally, Avery had just returned from the film studio with Leah, so Aurelia invited Leah along.
“Today's on me. All expenses are mine. Shop to your heart's content,” Aurelia said with a smile.
“Do you get a bonus?” Jelena asked with a grin.
“Yes.” She nodded. The first day of receiving a bonus was always a day for splurging.
Although she had received a hefty divorce settlement, she had no intention of spending it.
She had invested it all.

Leah giggled, ‘Aurelia, | don’t really need anything. | just want to get some Mexican food, and | miss it.” “You little foodie.” Aurelia affectionately stroked her head.
Leah was adorable, with deep—set features and a hint of mixed—race charm, much like a painted angel.

Haven't you developed feelings for each other over time?” Leah's cheeks immediately turned red, “Avery thinks I'm chubby, and he won't like me. He just treats me like his little sister.” Aurelia wrapped her arm around Leah’s shoulder, “Stop talking nonsense. You look so cute. Girls should be chubby.” She fully approved of Leah as Avery’s girlfriend.
Leah grinned, “I've been chubby all my life because I'm a foodie.” Aurelia figured Leah’s family must have been struggling when she was young, which led to her fear of hunger.
“From now on, whatever you want to eat, just tell me. I'll take you. Being able to enjoy delicious food is a blessing.” “Thanks, Aurelia.” Leah smiled sweetly, her eyes curving like crescent moons.
They headed to a Mexican restaurant, deciding to eat first and shop later.
They found a table near the window.
Next to them was a couple with a young boy. The boy was particularly mischievous, hopping around all over the place. Seeing Aurelia’s purse on the table, he suddenly ran over, grabbed it, and threw it on the floor.
She had just taken out her cell phone from the purse, without zipping it up, and its contents were scattered all over the floor.
The boy’s parents quickly came over to apologize, explaining that their son had ADHD and was undergoing treatment.
