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
A sudden knock on the door startled Kim and Audrey who were talking in the lounge. Kim exchanged a glance with Audrey before turning to open the door. Audrey thought it was a staff member who came to inform them to be ready. She didn't expect to see Kim being stunned. "Kim, who's it?"She walked up with doubt and froze when she saw the person standing in front of the door. Kim turned to Audrey and muttered in a soft voice, "Speaking of the devil." Audrey examined Brian, who was standing there, carefully. She had not seen him for a long time and he seemed to have lost weight.He had sunken cheeks and there was beard on his face that had always been clean. He carried a sense of decadence, no longer looking noble like how he always was. Audrey frowned as she looked at him. "What brought you here?" Brian stood in the doorway, looking at Audrey who stood across from him. He was emotional but he forcibly suppressed the feeling.The corners of his lips curled up as he smil
After Kim Morris entered the door, he saw Audrey Swann sitting there alone in a daze, and stepped forward curiouslyMr. Johnson, didn't do anything to you, did he?Hearing the voice, Audrey Swann slowly looked up at him, with indifference in her eyes.What did you think he can do to me?Kim Morris noticed that her mood wasn't good. He quickly smiled and said, "I just want to check on you. The event will start in half an hour. How about I go talk to the organizers and see if we can delay it by another half hour?" For people in their high-profile positions, being a little late is extremely common, to the point where they don't even need to inform the organizers.There's no need!Audrey Swann directly rejected Kim Morris's proposal.Work is work, and she doesn't want personal matters to affect her job.Kim Morris, please get me a cup of hot Americano.Okay, I'll go.After Kim Morris left, Audrey Swann sighed deeplyIn her mind, it was full of the words Brian White had said.
After the reporter asked, the whole room was silent, seemingly waiting for Audrey Swann to answer.Everyone wanted to know about this issue, but after all, it was rather sensitive, and many people were worried about offending Audrey.Audrey had obviously expected that someone would ask her this question in public.Upon hearing the question, her attitude was very calm."Regarding that Sir, since it involves my privacy and interactions with others, I'm not allowed to respond. Let's wait for the official announcement."Audrey's response was quite direct, it seems like she doesn't want to talk too much about this issue in public.The reporter who asked was obviously wasn't satisfied with her answer, and quickly followed up, asking, "So you don't have anything to say about the fan who attacked you? Will you sue them?"Kim Morris, who was standing on the side, instantly frowned when he heard this question.Now it is very obvious, the reporter is obviously targeting Audrey with contro
Kim decided he had to confront the organizers. He couldn't stand the way they were treating Audrey.Seeing Kim so furious, Audrey quickly stopped him. "Forget it, Kim. The press conference is only an hour long. I can actually take a rest for a bit here." She found a corner where the cameras usually didn't reach, so she didn't have to worry about unflattering photos being taken. She never cared much about seating arrangements; she was content whether she got a middle seat or not.Kim was exasperated by her attitude but had to let her have her way. "Fine." He shook his head.Audrey advised Kim not to get angry and then quietly played on her phone.When Lina arrived and saw Audrey sitting in the corner, she felt a surge of superiority. She sauntered over to Audrey with a smug look. "Audrey, how come you're seated here today? My seat is in the front row. Do you want me to talk to the organizers and move you up?"Audrey looked up, glanced at her, and politely said, "No, thanks." Then,
Audrey struck up a conversation with William, and after a while, she introduced Kim to him. "William, this is Kim, my agent and also a good friend; Kim, this is William."Recognizing William's extraordinary aura and prestigious status, Kim eagerly extended a hand in greeting. William, out of respect for his friendship with Audrey, was very polite to Kim.As the launch event was about to start, Audrey suggested they sit down to avoid delaying the event. William glanced at Audrey's seat and asked, "You're sitting here?" Audrey nodded. "It's fine. You should find your seat; the event is about to begin." Unexpectedly, William didn't leave but chose to sit next to Audrey. "You're sitting?" Audrey asked, surprised. William smiled. "Why? Can't I sit here?"Audrey, who didn't care much about seating, was fine with William's choice. The staff following William, seeing him take a seat and unwilling to leave, turned pale with fear. No one dared to persuade him, not wanting to offend the
Facing the barrage of questions from reporters, William didn't play coy. "Audrey and I are friends. It was a pleasant surprise to run into her here today. Besides, why do I have to sit in the middle? We can sit wherever we want, right?"In William's view, there was no such thing as a "middle seat"; he sat wherever he pleased. Knowing they couldn't get more from William and not wanting to offend him, the reporter eventually backed off. However, they could question Audrey.Suddenly, Audrey, who had been sitting unnoticed in a corner, became the center of media attention. Just moments ago, Lina had led the laughter at Audrey for being a nobody, but now those in the front rows truly became the overlooked ones.Lina stomped her foot in frustration. The harder she had laughed at Audrey, the more embarrassed she felt now. With so many reporters watching, she didn't dare confront Audrey, but that didn't mean she would let it go.Noticing Janice's fierce gaze, Lina had an idea. She cozied
The sudden screeching halt threw Audrey forward uncontrollably. Luckily, her habit of always buckling up prevented a serious injury. The seatbelt jerked her back into her seat, leaving her dazed for a few seconds before she could gather her senses.Audrey immediately asked the driver, "Brad, what's going on?"Brad's voice trembled as he replied, "Miss Swann, we've been ambushed."Turning her head to look out the window, Audrey saw several masked men with baseball bats standing outside the car. Instinctively reaching for her phone, one of the attackers smashed the windshield with his bat and threatened her with Brad's safety.Concerned for Brad's safety, Audrey opened the car door. "I assume you're here for me. Let Brad go, and I'll come with you."The men didn't respond to her offer but, seeing she wasn't resisting, took both her and Brad into a van. They sped away from the underground parking lot too hastily to notice a figure in the corner witnessing the entire scene.Pauline S
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
