Noticing that Audrey was not speaking, Sebastian knew she was already considering his proposal.He had seen many people and could tell that Audrey was not mean.If it weren't for his niece being so dumb and provoking Audrey on her own this time, they wouldn't have retaliated in kind.He could tell that the most important thing right now wasn't Audrey but the guy standing next to her, Triston.If he couldn't deal with this guy, even if Audrey agreed, the Freesons might be in trouble. He then took out the prepared contract and handed it to Audrey. "This is just a little something from the Freesons to show our sincerity. Hope you won't turn it down, Miss Swann."Audrey received and opened them. After scanning through the pages, she found that they were transfer contracts.Although she knew they had huge profits, she was unsure how much value they had or what use they would serve her.She turned her head and handed the materials to Triston. "Take a look."Triston stood on the sid
The kidnapping had come to a complete end, and Triston proposed to send Audrey back.Afraid that she might take offense, Triston cautiously said, "If you don't want to, I'll have the driver take you instead. I won't go."After Audrey had finished calling Kim, she heard Triston's words.She put down her phone and smiled at Triston. "Let's go for a drink."Triston was momentarily stunned at her words.His relationship with Audrey had always been quite stiff.He wanted to approach Audrey but was afraid of scaring her away again, so he could only watch over her carefully each time.Seeing him stand speechless beside her, Audrey broke into a gentle laugh. "Mr. Lambert quit drinking for real, as people are saying? If so, I'll have to find someone else."Triston was afraid that she might change her mind and quickly said, "No, let's go now. Do you have a suitable place?"Audrey said casually, "No, you decide.""Okay." Triston chuckled and leaned over to open the car door, pressing on
When Brian received the message, he quickly rushed to Casier.He was originally planning to go to the Freesons personally to get Audrey, but he received news halfway there that Branden had already arrived at the Freesons.He couldn't come face-to-face with Branden yet, as things between them weren't completely resolved. If he ran into Branden, all his planning would be for nothing.Since Branden had already gone for the Freesons, it would definitely be more effective than if Brian had done it. After all, Loxton was now under the control of the Duncans.After receiving the message, Brian rushed back to Casier to save Audrey immediately.When he arrived, Triston had just beat him to it.He quietly backed away, only after seeing that Audrey was safe and sound.After leaving, he camped out at Audrey's apartment, waiting for her.Audrey knew he already knew what had happened and rushed here to check on her. "Don't worry, I'm fine."Brian nodded slightly, picturing Audrey getting ou
Kim said Audrey had been having bad luck recently and encountering troubles repeatedly. He wanted to take her to the church to pray to get rid of the bad luck.Audrey didn't want to go at first but couldn't resist Kim's nagging and finally agreed.They dressed up and went to a church with a bustling atmosphere outside the city.Kim laid out some ground rules for them to follow as soon as they arrived. "You guys gotta remember. Don't talk nonsense in the sacred place. Behave yourself."People in the entertainment industry were kind of superstitious, mainly because luck played such a significant role in this business.By encountering a good opportunity, one could instantly become famous all over the place. Without luck, no matter how good your acting skills or how beautiful you were, you would still have to wait.Standing on the side, the assistant couldn't help but ask Kim, who was looking so sincere, "Kim, isn't this church famous for bringing good luck in marriage? Can we also p
Triston was in a meeting when suddenly his assistant barged in and instantly caught everyone's attention.They knew an assistant wouldn't interrupt the meeting without a good reason.Triston frowned and looked at his assistant.The assistant whispered nervously in his ear.A hint of surprise flashed across Triston's eyes, and then he stood up and said, "Today's meeting is rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon."After explaining the details, Triston left without looking back, leaving all the senior executives in a frenzy. No one knew what exactly happened to make Triston so anxious.Some busybody cautiously checked out the situation with the assistant, who smiled and said, "Probably something good."Originally, he was hesitant to report Triston's private matters at the meeting, worried that it might make Triston angry. But now, he knew he made the right bet. It turned out nothing was more important than Triston's lover.*****Triston hurried out of the meeting room and headed to t
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
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
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
