Audrey waited for a while and didn't hear from Triston.Worried that nothing good would come of it, she contacted Kim. She was about to ask him to bargain with the media and bury the news. Then she heard Kim's cheerful voice from the other end, sounding like he was in a good mood.Audrey was curious, and then she heard him say, "Aud, I did not expect Triston to be so reliable. We are lucky to have him today. Or else you will have to pay that three billion dollars."Audrey was still confused and did not even understand what was going on. "Kim, what are you talking about? Did Triston do something?"Only then did Kim realize that Audrey didn't know anything about it. He thought it was Audrey who had asked Triston to do it. "Sweetie, go check it online."Then he hung up. He knew she would find out by herself. There was not much for him to say.Audrey logged on to Twitter and saw the new trend immediately. Triston was still the key figure. She clicked into the entry and saw Triston's
Audrey looked at Triston's post on her cell phone, lost in thoughts. She didn't expect Triston to actually do it when he said he would help her solve the problem.Although Triston only posted a few words and a picture on his Twitter, his PR team was behind it. That was why the comments were so friendly. And the media would not likely apologize to her if they hadn't been warned. After so many years in the entertainment industry, she knew that much, at least.She was now a little confused about the relationship between Triston and her, and she didn't know what he was thinking.The sudden ringing of the phone startled Audrey, who was in the middle of thinking. She thought it was Triston, but Amelia's excited voice came from the other end only when the phone was connected. "Hey, Audrey! This is Amelia."Audrey smiled. "Yeah, I recognize your voice.""Audrey, I've come to Casier and heard you've been around for a while. Come out for a gathering! We all miss you," said Amelia.Audrey w
Audrey came out of the bathroom and saw Triston leaning against the window.Just as she wanted to leave directly, Triston raised his eyes to look over.She then asked, "Why aren't you at the party?"The dim light framed his handsome face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, smoke softly circling him. His voice was more hoarse than usual because of smoking. "I'm waiting for you."Audrey frowned slightly, avoiding eye contact. "Why? You think I would get lost on my way to the bathroom?"Triston laughed softly in a low voice, "Nah. I'm afraid you might vanish since it's almost midnight."Audrey felt her cheeks burning, not knowing what to say. The breeze blew in through the open window and messed the hair on her forehead. Triston couldn't help but stare.Then he said, "Let's get back at the party."Audrey glanced at him, didn't say much, and turned toward the room.Seeing Audrey enter the room, Amelia and Zobber dragged her aside. Amelia seriously asked, "Audrey, what is going on betw
Audrey quickly opened the door and got into the car. She leaned her head on the window and squinting at Triston. "No, thanks."Her cute face amused Triston. She could be so stubborn sometimes, just like Catherine. Maybe it was in their genes."Fine. You seem perfectly sober," said Triston softly. But somehow, she got angry. She turned her head to the other side and leaned on the back of the chair, unwilling to meet Triston's eyes.Triston was confused and didn't know how to comfort her.Audrey closed her eyes and said, "Just drive. I want to go home and rest."The car started slowly and drove towards Audrey's apartment. There was less traffic at night, and although Triston drove slowly, he arrived at the apartment building in just ten minutes or so.Triston pulled up the car and thought about waking Audrey when she had already woken up, opened the door, and exited. "Thanks for the ride. I'll see you around." With that, she headed upstairs without looking back.Triston looked at
Although it was likely Triston, he would never send a stranger to her.Kim looked at the food and said, "Forget about it. Why don't you eat? It looks yummy."Audrey shook her head and answered his previous question. "It's not him."Kim was stunned and asked, "What do you mean? Who else could it be?""I don't know," said Audrey frankly.Kim knew she was not lying and couldn't help but get a little worried. "Could it be the fans?"Audrey had no clue. She could only be sure that this person must be familiar with her to know her tastes.Kim stared at the food on the table. The more he thought about it, the more fearful he felt. He muttered, "Luckily, you didn't have any. It's better to be cautious with things from an unknown source."The food looked fine, but who knew? Some fans were crazy, and Audrey was in the prime of her stardom, so they could never be more careful."I happen to know a guy from an institute. I'll take these to his lab," said Kim.Audrey didn't refuse. "I'll l
It was so abrupt that no one realized what was happening.Kim froze as the man was about to throw himself upon Audrey. And suddenly, out of nowhere, several well-trained bodyguards rushed forward and circled Audrey. And the man was soon controlled by them.It all happened so fast, and Audrey was overwhelmed. The bodyguard in the lead turned to her and respectfully asked her to rest inside. "Miss Swann, will you please follow us to the office inside? It's an emergency. I'll let your staff know what to do next later."Audrey nodded with a pale face and arrived at the lounge escorted by the bodyguards.After Kim entered the room, the leading bodyguard looked at Audrey and respectfully said, "Miss Swann, we will guard the door and patrol the hallway. Tell us if you have any need.""Thank you!" said Audrey. The bodyguards then exited the room. After they left, Kim slowly said, "God, it scared the hell out of me! I don't know what to tell Catherine if anything happened to you just now
What Kim said was so bizarre that Audrey couldn't help but consider whether to look into it. It shouldn't be too hard. All she needed to do was to make a call. In Casier, nothing could hide from the Duncans' intelligence network.While Audrey hesitated, Kim asked, "Could it be Triston?"Audrey paused. Honestly, she couldn't be sure if it was Triston. For what it looked like now, he was the most likely one.As they were talking about Triston, Audrey's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and picked it up.Triston's concerned voice then came out of the receiver, asking, "I saw the news and heard that you were attacked. Are you alright?"There were so many fans on the scene, and Audrey being so famous, the news naturally spread nationwide.Triston was at work, and after receiving the message from his assistant, he immediately paused the meeting and called Audrey as quickly as he could.So, it meant Triston had nothing to do with what happened today.She gave a few quick word
Audrey Swann was stunned by the fact that Brian White was involved in all she had gone through.The moment Audrey realized Brian was just using her, she left him at the first time.Then, owing to the exposure of Rylan Melton, Brian was forced to leave Eskana and took refuge in Loewe.Audrey thought that there would be no chance of a return for Brian in his lifetime; but much to her surprise, Brian did come back, and found his place in Casier.'How dare he step into the territory of the Duncans?'In response to the inquiry of Triston Lambert, Audrey just shook her head and said,"Right now I haven't got a clue.""Well, I'll fix it." came the cold voice of Triston, his face darkening.Triston's remark made Audrey shiver.She feared Triston would make trouble for Brian and something bad would happen.After all, the Lamberts, with its long history and good reputation, was a behemoth in Casier.At the present, Brian was no match for Triston."You stay out of it!" said Audrey.A
In the end, Branden couldn't stand it anymore. He took the initiative to snatch Catherine back, only then did the scene come under control.Now, no one dared to continue touching Catherine's belly.Once he snatched Catherine back, he held her tightly in his arms and prevented anyone from touching her. He thought in his mind, "Since these people like this brat so much, I'll just give the brat to them when Catherine gives birth. Saves one more person from sharing my wife with me."Triston smiled and watched the crowd as the birthday party began exactly as it should.The big screen began to show all the images of Audrey from her debut until now that were outstanding or worthy of recording. Some of the images weren't even in Audrey's possession, but Triston had found them and made a video of them.As the images flashed by, Audrey's tears couldn't help but fall from her face. She cried not only because she remembered the hardships she had endured in showbiz for many years, but also bec
Since Triston brought Audrey to meet his family, he had worked non-stop to put their marriage on the agenda.Audrey was a popular actress, and to not affect her career, Triston chose to propose in a low-key manner.Triston arranged a party on Audrey's birthday and invited many of Audrey's friends.Audrey originally thought Triston was too high-profile, but Triston insisted. "I didn't participate in so many of your past birthdays. I finally have a chance to participate this time."He persuaded Audrey repeatedly. Audrey couldn't resist him and could only agree to let him arrange the party.Luckily, he only invited Audrey's close friends and did not send out invitations widely, so she could take this opportunity to have a gathering of friends.Audrey was surprised to see Catherine when she arrived.Catherine was now eight months pregnant. Normally, she would be rejected by Branden if she wanted to visit Catherine.Branden was now very careful with Catherine every day, and Audrey w
Sure enough, only after Audrey said those words, Willa's face completely darkened.Seeing that Willa was about to explode, suddenly...Triston applauded happily, which instantly attracted the crowd's attention.Triston calmly met everyone's gaze and looked at Audrey gently. "Good. You're worthy of being the woman I love. I'm most annoyed with those women who stay at home day in and day out and like to gossip when they have nothing else to do. You have your own career and I'm very supportive of that."Triston said this with a proud look on his face and raised his eyebrows at Audrey, full of smugness.Willa's face instantly turned gloomy.Her son had demeaned her by calling her a gossipy woman just to please another woman, and it made her furious.Egbert kind of realized that his son was totally in love with Audrey. He thought it was good because Triston used to be a playboy and was always surrounded by messy women. At that time, he was really worried that Triston would marry an u
Although Audrey was born into a wealthy family, Triston's mother, Willa Lambert, had always been prejudiced against showbiz and therefore did not approve of Triston's pursuit of Audrey.In Willa's opinion, female celebrities in the showbiz industry had always appeared in public, which was not like the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.It was only after learning that Audrey and Triston might be together that she eagerly introduced Triston to girls in the first place. She didn't realize that after all this time, her son still hadn't given up on Audrey, and this was the first time she'd seen her son so attached to a girl.If it weren't for that, she wouldn't agree to appear at today's dinner party now.Triston led Audrey into the door, and everyone from the Lamberts had already arrived.The scene of everyone sitting in the private room made Audrey feel a bit guilty. She looked guiltily at the crowd and whispered, "I'm sorry. I'm late."Triston's father, Egbert Lambert, had a
Audrey never expected to be so suddenly arranged to meet Triston's family.She couldn't react when Triston talked to her about it. Looking at Triston with disbelief in her eyes, she said, "Pardon me?"Triston's handsome face carried a gentle smile. "I've inquired with Kim. You don't have any work arrangements since this afternoon, and you can also take a day off tomorrow. It's just right for us to have dinner together in the evening."Audrey frowned and asked inwardly, "Is that what I care about?"What she cared about was who Triston had just said she would have dinner with tonight. "Why are you suddenly asking your family to have dinner with me?"The Swanns and the Lamberts were both in Casier and they were also considered to be friends. For Triston's family, although Audrey was not familiar with them, she had seen them at major parties.But in the past, they used to meet as ordinary friends.Now that she and Triston were in a relationship, his sudden proposal to take her to di
Audrey hesitated for a moment but still answered the phone with a nervous heart.She believed that Catherine definitely had a way to get her to answer the phone, but things would be troublesome if she made Catherine take her actions.She put her phone to her ear and inquired in a low voice, "Morning, Kathy. What's the matter?"Catherine's voice remained as cold as ever, without any emotion. "Tell me, what is it that you haven't told me?"Audrey had already figured out a strategy to deal with it and how to excuse herself, but as soon as she answered the phone, Catherine asked her so directly, which made her suddenly unable to react.Audrey had no choice but to tell Catherine the truth.After listening to her trembling narration, Catherine only asked coldly, "Are you sure you want him to be your boyfriend?"Audrey was a bit hesitant. Everyone blessed her and Triston after they found out they were together again, but Catherine was the only one who asked her to calm down and think i
Faced with Triston's questioning, Ronin looked arrogant. "Catherine and Audrey are sisters, so Audrey is my sister. You can bully anyone, but you can't bully her. Or else, we can't even be friends."Ronin's words sounded childish, but there was seriousness inside his eyes when he said those words. He grew up with Catherine and regarded Catherine as his most important family member. To him, Catherine's sister was his sister.After listening to Ronin's words, Triston faintly laughed out. "I see."Ronin thought that Triston didn't take his words to heart, and immediately felt a burning anger. "What do you mean? You don't understand my warning, do you?""Easy!" Triston gestured for him to calm down, then said calmly, "Even death row inmates have a chance to explain, right? You should at least hear me out.""Hmph!" Ronin snorted disdainfully. He secretly thought in his heart, "If Triston says any more asshole words, I'll definitely not show him any respect."Triston put away that cyni
They had an appointment at a recreational manor, a new property Zobber had just bought. Zobber had invited them to come along for the experience.Since Catherine's pregnancy, the entire Hacker Alliance had had much leisure time. Even though there was less to do, they had earned no less money and were basically in a dominant position.Zobber enjoyed the current situation too much becasue there was still money to be made easily. They might only have one business per year, but the profit from this business was already enough for them to spend for a year.After wandering around with her friends, Zobber excitedly looked at everyone. "How about this place? It's not bad, right? I bought it at a high price!"This was Casier, and Triston was aware of any changes in the real estate industry.He had indeed received the news when Zobber auctioned off the manor, and he also knew that Zobber had given an above-market price to take the land. But he knew that Zobber had plenty of money. It was fi
Since that dinner, Audrey had been in a special kind of relationship with Triston.Although they didn't make it clear, Triston could feel that Audrey had slowly accepted him.The number of times they met increased, and most of Audrey's work this year was in Casier.Whenever Triston had free time, he would stay alongside Audrey.Whether on set or during recording sessions, one could always catch a glimpse of Triston.Everyone kind of knew deep down that Triston was the man behind Audrey.But nobody ever exposed this whole thing, mainly because of Triston's identity.Neither he nor Audrey wanted too much attention paid to their relationship right now. If he didn't spill the beans, who else would dare to report on it?Besides, the reason Audrey and Triston's dating didn't cause much jealousy was they were a good match.Among the Four Noble Families in Casier, the Lamberts and the Swanns each held a seat, and the Swanns' power was not weaker than the Lamberts.Plus, now that Cath
