Audrey would have known that this was an act. She was not swayed by Patricia's words, so she sneered at her. "Who are you trying to lie to, Patricia? Me or yourself?"Patricia let out a long sigh, pretending to be sad, especially in front of Kenzie, as much as possible she would show that she was helpless and weak, so that Kenzie would think that Audrey was the bad one.However, what Patricia thought never happened. Kenzie didn't care. He didn't even understand the argument between them. All he cared about was being with her biological mother.Audrey was getting fed up, she rolled her eyes in disgust.Seeing that, Patricia immediately draped her hair, then she remembered the ring she had worn earlier. And she deliberately showed it to Audrey."Ah, never mind, I don't want to argue anymore. I don't think it's worth it." Patricia raised her hand so that Audrey could see the ring she was wearing. Audrey's eyes squinted and smiled a little. She underestimated her.Patricia said, "I also
She was blocking Audrey's path. As if the conversation they had earlier was not over, Patricia again blocked Audrey's way, Not letting the woman go. Audrey exhaled in annoyance."What else do you want?" she asked coldly.Audrey didn't like Patricia's arbitrary nature like this. She was shameless and did whatever she wanted."How did you get close to Kenzie like that? Did you instigate the boy like you instigated Daniel?" Patricia asked with narrowed eyes.That was right, wasn't it? That woman was always accusing Audrey of nonsense. Audrey was fed up every time she heard and saw Patricia's behavior.Not wanting to argue too much, Audrey chose not to serve her. She no longer wanted to talk to the woman and ignored Patricia.Patricia saw it as patronizing to her. She then looked at Audrey with one eye. Patricia did not accept this and pushed Audrey back, she pulled Audrey's hand until the woman's body turned to face her again."I'm not done yet, Audrey. You know very well that Kenzie is
Patricia turned around and found Daniel's piercing gaze on her. She didn't know what she had done wrong to make Daniel react like that."Yes, Daniel. I was just about to order food for Kenzie," said Patricia who thought Daniel was angry because he hadn't ordered food."Let it go!" Daniel said coldly.Patricia was confused. "Let go? What do you mean?" Her eyebrows knitted together in incomprehension."Take off the ring!" Daniel spoke softly but with emphasis. His sharp eyes did not leave Patricia.Patricia stared at the ring in her hand and objected to Daniel's request."I don't want it!" she refused.The ring was already in her hand. That meant it was already hers.Hearing Patricia's refusal, Daniel became even more furious."Don't you know how to use things that don't belong to you?!" Daniel shouted angrily.Patricia's face paled instantly, especially when Daniel cursed her in front of Kenzie. The man didn't respect her at all. Patricia was embarrassed! At least in front of Kenzie,
"I will not leave you."Patricia said stubbornly. Even though Daniel kept pushing her away, she didn't want to leave him for an inch.Hearing that, Daniel grew angry. He didn't want to see the look on Patricia's face right now. Coupled with Patricia's sentence saying that Audrey was engaged to Nicky. It feels like the fire in Daniel's body is burning right now. He was silent with his head bowed and eyes closed."Go away Patricia, I don't want you here now," he said quietly without changing position.It wasn't a sentence full of anger anymore that Daniel said at this time, but rather despair. Daniel was tired and he was unable to release his emotions.Seeing Daniel's reaction, Patricia's heart melted. They argued and both hurt each other even though Daniel felt hurt not because of her but because he heard that Audrey was engaged to Nicky, Patricia still had a heart.Can't see Daniel being helpless like this."All right, I'll go, but I won't leave you. I'm going to the next room, so if
Audrey gave a small chuckle. "I just changed the back to a rather low V-slit," Audrey said.As Audrey said that, Nicky's focus immediately shifted to Audrey's backside, and looked at her disapprovingly.Nicky shook her head at that, and then she snapped her fingers at one of the assistants."Bring a coat to cover this part."Audrey's eyes widened at Nicky's order to the assistant. "Nicky, what do you mean by asking for a coat?""Audrey, this is too revealing. I don't want your body to be in public consumption like this. Only I can see it." Nicky leered flirtatiously at Audrey and the woman chuckled a little at that.Nicky's attention touched her heart. No doubt with all the attention and kindness Nicky gave her. Nicky was able to fulfill all the criteria of a dream man for women. Then, what else did Audrey think? It seems there is no reason for her to complain or reject a man like Nicky.Moreover, the man also loved Alea like his own child. Audrey looked at Nicky with emotion. I feel
Their cameras were on standby and the reporters did the same with their microphones.The two cars stopped in the courtyard, but for the next five minutes, everyone was confused by the fact that no one got out of either car.The reporters looked at each other in surprise. They recognized that the two cars belonged to none other than Patricia Larson and Miranda Hansen.However, almost ten minutes passed, and no one showed themselves at this time."How long can we stay here, Patricia?" the manager asked the woman in the car.At this point, Patricia refused to get out of the car first because she knew that Miranda's car was also arriving at the same time. It was a tradition that whoever got out later would have a higher social status than the others. And Patricia wanted that to be true for her.Patricia folded her arms across her chest. "Let her come out first, I just don't want to," Patricia said, referring to Miranda.Mia, who was Patricia's manager, exhaled tired of facing Patricia's s
'The Pearl of Venice' dress was specially designed for Audrey. Meanwhile, Patricia's body is shorter than Audrey's. For this reason, Patricia used shoes with heels as high as nine centimeters and she tried desperately not to fall while walking.So Patricia stepped very carefully.All the journalists followed her, vying to take pictures of her. They also shouted her name repeatedly to get her to turn to them.Patricia smiled as she reached the entrance to the banquet hall and stopped. Giving the reporters a chance to ask her a few questions.Of course, Patricia wasn't going to miss out on this. She was enjoying the fame she had at the moment and she had no intention of retiring from that world. If she could, she wanted the reporters to chase her forever."Miss Patricia, you look very beautiful today." one of the reporters complimented."Ah, thank you." Patricia chuckled and blushed.Then another reporter asked a question. "How did you manage to persuade Drizzt to come to a big event li
Patricia's face looked very sour at this moment. finding Miranda wearing the Tears of Paris dress made her heart a thousand times upset to see it./The dress must have been fantastic and priceless. Not just because of the design, but also the sprinkling of diamonds that made it even more stunning. Whoever wore it would look very elegant and would be thought to have a high status.Patricia was jealous of it. Miranda could wear the dress while she only used "The Pearl of Venice" Indeed both dresses were very exclusive, but the one worn by Patricia still carried "Tears of Paris" and Patricia hated if she had to lose to Miranda.Everyone stared in awe at Miranda. How could that woman wear such a dress?All the reporters jostled to be able to take pictures of the woman.Miranda deliberately took a place so that the reporters could interview her. While Patricia was there, she looked increasingly annoyed that no one was paying attention to her anymore. All eyes were on Miranda."Miranda, ho
Audrey let out a long sigh, she felt that Vincent was not her rival, so she was not interested in racing with him at all. Besides, she had more important things to do than just racing.Audrey shook her head. "I don't want to," she said, taking another swig of her drink and casting her eyes forward. "Why don't you take the other racers? With your family's last name, you can take them all instead of wasting time with me."Vincent chuckled. He just wanted to compete with Audrey, the woman who had beaten him out of boredom. The more Audrey rejected him, the more curious Vincent became about her."How can you like car racing? From the looks of you, you're not the type of woman who likes a challenge."Audrey laughed. "What you see is not necessarily the truth," Audrey said ambiguously.That was also what was currently happening to her. What she had seen from Daniel, how he had tried to convince her that he would love her for life and it turned out to be nothing but nonsense.Audrey was now
Audrey broke away from Vincent, she took a deep breath before returning her facial expression, trying to look normal.No, she wasn't crying. She must not cry. Daniel couldn't make her like this."Are you okay?" asked Vincent as he searched Audrey's eyes.She then squinted at Vincent. "Yes, I'm fine," she said firmly. Refusing to be looked at with a pitying gaze.Vincent pointed at Audrey's wet under-eye. Audrey immediately wiped it away and said loudly that she was not crying. "I got dust in my eyes earlier," she reasoned.Vincent smiled at her. Even under these circumstances, the woman still showed her pride.Audrey's hand looked up at Vincent. He frowned, not understanding what she wanted."The car keys. Give it to me, let me drive. You're too slow to drive." Audrey complained.She wanted something to get her adrenaline going right now. That way, it would be easy for Audrey to forget for a moment what made her heart so disturbed.Vincent seemed hesitant to give it to her, so Audre
Seeing that, Audrey couldn't resist going deeper and checking further.Audrey moved into the living room without Lili's permission. She knew she shouldn't have done such an unethical act, but her heart couldn't resist finding out more information.Asha was too clever to manipulate Audrey's feelings right now, so she could no longer think clearly and only suspicion dominated her mind.Audrey examined the living room carefully, then who knows what wind made her step back in without the owner's permission."What exactly are you looking for?" Lili asked Audrey. She knew that the woman in front of her right now was her boss's ex-wife. And because Lili had a specific purpose, the woman deliberately ended up confessing."Do you live alone here?" asked Audrey who seemed to be still examining in detail everything she passed."No, I don't. This is my house and Daniel's too."Audrey flinched for a moment at that, before she went back to her normal demeanor, trying to hide the hole in her heart.
"I can't come with you! I have something important to do!" Audrey refused when Vincent tried to force her to sit in his car.Audrey tried to leave, but Vincent pulled her back."All right, I'll drive you. Anywhere, I'm ready. As long as we can talk," Vincent said with a little force. He didn't mean any harm by forcing Audrey, all he wanted was a one-on-one talk with her.Audrey knew that he wouldn't mess with her. She looked at Vincent's face with an expectant expression.Not wanting to be the center of attention of the many people who were already glancing in their direction, Audrey was forced to follow Vincent and sat in his sports car.Audrey told him the address of her current destination and Vincent agreed to drive her. Along the way, Vincent continued to talk to Audrey about many things.He was still talking about what happened a few years ago.Audrey was not interested at all. Moreover, Vincent is one of the Anderson family members. First Daniel, then Asha, and now Vincent. It
Savi realized that she was being influenced by Asha's words. The woman was either intentional or not, but now Audrey began to think about it.Audrey admitted that she could not just close her ears and heart to what Asha said.And now she is very upset and has a prolonged dilemma.Initially, Audrey wanted to give Daniel a chance to fix everything. Start all over again. Maybe a new relationship would be much better for them.Especially now that Alea and Kenzie are filling their days. However, now Audrey feels that she is too naive.Daniel doesn't need her. Audrey should have realized that. Audrey felt that she was very stupid and she was sure that Daniel would consider her a woman who was easily tricked.Audrey exhaled slowly. Swallowing her heart so as not to affect her mood and behavior today. Some children were currently watching her.Audrey did not want the children to feel that her mother was not okay. Earlier, when they found out that Audrey's hand was injured by a knife slice, th
Audrey used the contact name viewer app even though she did not save the number.Asha. What else could she want? As Audrey remembered, Joni would take care of her.Audrey thought for a moment whether she should answer or not. Finally, she decided there was no harm in answering the call. Audrey wanted to know what the woman wanted to tell her."I thought you wouldn't answer my call," Asha said in a voice that sounded like it was smiling."What do you want?" she didn't want to waste time on small talk. After all, Asha wouldn't have called her just to say hello.Asha laughed. "I admit that you are indeed a smart woman. Unfortunately, your intelligence can't make Grandpa Abraham melt and accept you. You will never be accepted into the Anderson family. So don't even dream, Audrey."Audrey rolled her eyes in disgust. "So, you called me just to talk about this insignificant matter?"Asha was surprised that Audrey was not affected by her words at all.She thought Audrey would be upset or some
"Stop meddling with my personal life, Grandpa," Daniel warned Abraham. He took the last sip of his glass and left.Daniel briefly glanced at Asha who was currently choosing to look away.As the man exited the living room, Daniel bumped into Vincent who had just come down the stairs.Vincent didn't know what Daniel was here for and why. What was clear was that he didn't care. Vincent nodded in greeting to the man and Daniel nodded back. Afterward, they went their separate ways.After Daniel left, Asha looked very upset. She growled and held back her frustration. Asha did not expect that Daniel still liked Audrey. Even though five years have passed, the man still harbors his feelings for Audrey and Asha hates that right.Abraham saw Asha's unhappy expression."What's wrong, dear?" asked Abraham who immediately approached Asha."I hate Audrey, Grandpa. That woman always takes what I want. I'm upset and sad because Audrey has damaged a car that is very valuable to me." Asha bent her face
"Audrey!"When Asha said that name, Daniel immediately went silent.Now he knew the reason behind Audrey's morning rage and her coldness towards Daniel. She didn't like the car being given to Asha.If that's true, it means that the car is a special memory for Audrey so she doesn't want Asha to have it ...Knowing this, Daniel secretly smiled faintly.He felt happy, because that way, Audrey had shown her jealousy."You have to talk to Audrey so that she doesn't do whatever she wants. That car means a lot to me because it was given to me by you, but out of jealousy Audrey just destroyed it. She should realize that now-""Asha, enough," Daniel warned her. He didn't want Asha to sneer further at Audrey.Asha's mouth fell open when Daniel said that.She knew from that that he was still very much in love with his ex-wife.Asha did not like to see it. After five years, the woman should not have to come back and create new problems.She hated Audrey, and now Asha should be able to try to get
After finishing their porridge, the two children grabbed Audrey's attention and asked her to read them a royal fairy tale.Alea loves stories about kingdoms and now she wants to hear a fairy tale about a princess who is rescued by a prince. Kenzie, who has rarely heard a fairy tale, is eager to experience the same thing as Alea. He wanted to hear Audrey tell the story.So he readily agreed and looked very enthusiastic.Audrey was going to take care of some work that had previously been emailed by Joni, but once she saw the hopeful eyes of her two children, Audrey decided not to do it and instead chose to accompany them.Daniel, who was still struggling with the laptop in front of him and the pile of documents on the side of the table, occasionally glanced at Audrey.He noticed how Audrey gave warm affection to their children. Daniel's heart warmed instantly. He secretly smiled, though not fully.As he was enjoying this warm scene suddenly the ringing of his cell phone distracted Danie
