She immediately decided to go with Bryson.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Cordova Mansion.
Kylee was asleep. Bryson took Audrey to the guest room she usually stayed in.
"Just stay here these days. Lance won't look for you here."
"Thank you, Mr. Bryson."
"You're welcome. You helped me take care of my grandmother, so I owe you one. You can stay here for as long as you like. As for Lance, I will have someone keep an eye on him. You can rest assured."
"Mr. Bryson, I really appreciate your help."
Bryson smiled, "My pleasure. After all, we're engaged. Your business is mine too!"
Audrey didn't know what to say.
"It's getting late. I'm gonna go to bed now."
With that, Audrey was about to close the door.
However, she failed for Bryson put his hand on the door.
Audrey looked at him awkwardly, "Mr. Bryson, is there anything else?"
"Your jade pendant..."
"What's wrong with that?"
Bryson said hesitantly, "I've seen one before, but what I saw was the opposite of yours."
Audrey started at him in surprise and excitedly grabbed his hand.
"Really? Where is it? Who was the owner? Is it a twenty-two-year-old boy?" Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Bryson shook his head.
"No!"
Audrey was disappointed.
"Alright. It doesn't matter." If the owner wasn't 22 years old, he shouldn't be her younger brother.
Bryson added, "I saw that jade pendant ten years ago. At that time, that boy was only about eleven or twelve years old."
Audrey's eyes lit up.
If what Bryson said was true, the boy was probably...
Her body trembled slightly, "The boy you were talking about ... What's his name? Where is he?"
"I don't know his name. I met him in my grandmother's place in Shore City. If you want to find him, I can help you."
"Great!" Audrey nodded, "Mr. Bryson, please help me find him."
Bryson somehow got jealous, for Audrey cared about the boy so much.
"Why do you want to find him? Who is he to you?" Bryson asked.
"He is the most important person in my life, so I have to find him," Audrey said, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Bryson was more curious about the boy.
...
The next morning, Lance came to Audrey's neighborhood and waited for her at the gate.
However, he didn't see Audrey walk out.
At about eight o'clock, his phone rang.
Lance looked at the number and squinted.
He said icily, "Bryson, why are you calling me?"
"Stop waiting!"
"What do you mean?"
"I say you don't have to wait. You won't see her today."
"Where is her?" Lance's expression changed.
"Mr. Lance, how funny it is! Audrey is my fiancée, so I can take her to any place. That's none of your business."
Lance hung up the phone in a rage.
After that, he snarled at Raye in the driver's seat, "Go to Square Law Firm now."
Raye replied, "Yes!"
He immediately drove Lance to Square Law Firm.
However, a minibus was coming toward them on the halfway and collided head-on with the Lincoln.
With a bang, the front of the black Lincoln was dented, and the car stopped abruptly.
Raye and Lance froze with terror in the Lincoln.
Immediately after, a car stopped too late and crashed into the back of the Lincoln.
The Lincoln was stuck in the middle and almost destroyed. Lance grabbed the seat to steady himself and scolded.
"Bryson, damn you!"
Bryson actually used such a despicable way to prevent him from meeting Audrey.
Raye knew how Lance was feeling, but he didn't agree with Lance.
'Boss, you think Bryson is a rat. But you know that Audrey is Bryson's fiancée and you are still trying to steal her from Bryson. How can Bryson not be angry?'
'He just destroyed our car today. I don't know what he is going to do tomorrow.'
'Poor me! I shouldn't have gone through this. It's so scary!'
What mattered wasn't the car but their safety. If this happened again, they might not be able to survive.
Raye said, "Boss, our car broke down. Are we still going to the law firm?"
"Of course. Call a taxi!"
Raye nodded.
However, the taxi was rammed just after they got in.
After being hit three times, Raye helped Lance out of the taxi. Lance grazed his arm, but he still didn't want to give up. In the end, Raye forcefully took him to the nearby hospital.
The person who was watching Raye and Lance made a call to Bryson.
Bryson had just arrived at Square Law Firm with Audrey when he received the call.
Audrey was heading for the law firm. Bryson glanced at her back and sneered, "Keep watching."
He wouldn't give Lance the chance to take Audrey away.
...
As soon as Audrey entered the law firm, she felt that the vibes weren't right. Blake looked at her with pity when giving her the morning newspaper of Peace City. The other lawyers in the law firm stopped talking at the sight of her. After she walked away, they gathered together and whispered to each other again.
Though their voices were low, Audrey's hearing was excellent. Thus, she heard them mention her name again and again.
They even said, "I didn't expect Audrey to be such a person".
Audrey frowned and walked to her seat.
Just as she sat down, Susan came over.
"Audrey, Mr. Steele wants you to go to his office."
"Alright!"
Audrey calmly stood up and walked into Freddy's office.
Just as she opened the door, a furious roar came from the office, "Audrey, look at what you've done."
Afterward, Freddy fiercely threw a dozen documents at Audrey.
"People from the Bar Association are coming soon. You're going to handle them yourself!"
