Lidya trembled at Audrey's words. She directed her hand to grasp the sleeve of her husband's suit. Bryan realized that his wife looked very worried at the moment.Then, while thinking about Kenzie, a thought suddenly crossed his mind. He made the connection between Kenzie and Alea.The two children were the same age and Lidya then suspected that Alea was one of the surviving children as well. Then Lidya looked at Audrey seriously and asked, "Is it true that Alea is your child with Nicky?"Lidya suddenly asked that and made Audrey instantly surprised, but Audrey hurriedly controlled herself to disguise her expression."Of course, it's Nicky's child, Ma. Why do you have to question the illegitimate child."Audrey tried her best to contain her emotions at this point. She could not accept that Alea was being called an illegitimate child.There should be no more oppression against her or her child."Why are you asking about Audrey's identity? I don't think it has anything to do with you at
After uttering the threat to her parents. Audrey then left them with pale faces.It is undeniable that the threat given by Audrey was able to affect them. An aura of fear now clearly radiated from Bryan and Lidya.Especially Lidya who was very worried about the threat. She turned to her husband who was trying to cover up his current fear."What if what Audrey said happened? No! I don't want to be poor," Lidya said frantically. Hoping that her husband would do something to prevent Audrey from bringing them down.Still staring at Audrey's departure, Bryan straightened his suit. He tried to hide his fear this time and replaced it with a dismissive expression. "Audrey is just talking big. Of course, she can't do that. She doesn't have the power to do it. Who's behind her? Just one Nicky Wilson. Remember, Daniel is much more powerful than Nicky. So, you don't have to worry, we are on the strongest side this time."Lidya thought about her husband's words. Come to think of it, what her husb
Audrey stepped gracefully, then accidentally her eyes caught Miranda's current whereabouts. Audrey's brows furrowed in surprise when she saw Miranda also wearing the same 'Tears of Paris' dress as herself.Audrey had no idea where Miranda got the dress from. Audrey only made one Tear of Paris dress. The design was quite complicated, besides the diamonds found there, Audrey deliberately used rare diamonds, and even the embroidery on the dress was the work of European artists. Of course, it makes any machine unable to replicate it.Audrey smiled slightly, Miranda was wearing a fake Tears of Paris dress.All eyes were on Audrey at that moment, not only that, but they were also often seen looking at Audrey and Miranda alternately. The people were comparing the two dresses.Where they know that the dress is very exclusive. Given who Miranda was and that no one knew Audrey, they then speculated that the dress worn by Miranda was the real one and the one worn by Audrey was fake.Miranda's m
Miranda's face looked tense, but she did her best to disguise that expression so that no one would notice.Miranda tried to calm down when Audrey was standing in front of her. The woman's eyes traveled up and down Miranda's dress.Miranda's manager was seen gulping his saliva with difficulty. He was afraid that Miranda's lies would be exposed there. The manager didn't know Audrey, but she had a bad feeling when Audrey started approaching Miranda."It's surprising that we're wearing the same dress." Audrey began to speak for the first time since she entered the hall.Miranda seemed to be smiling calmly. "Yes, I didn't expect us to be wearing Tears of Paris together either." Miranda did not want to accuse Audrey of wearing a fake dress.She was afraid that the accusation would turn back on her. It was better to be safe for now."May I know where you bought it?" Audrey asked with a smile.The woman's expression was completely unreadable. Miranda worried that it was a trick question for h
Audrey glared sarcastically at Patricia. This was just between her and Miranda, but Patricia was bringing up their issues and mixing it up.Audrey didn't like that. Patricia was always looking for a way to put Audrey down, but this time in front of so many people, Audrey wasn't going to give in and stay silent."Let me be clear, Patricia. I asked Miranda about this, so did you take care of all Miranda's dresses until you spoke up?" Audrey cornered her.Patricia was silent and felt cornered.Then Audrey returned to Miranda and smiled very sweetly. As if she was giving bait and luring Miranda to the surface."So, Miranda, you don't mind telling me how you got that dress?"Miranda was still trying to act calm and unfazed.However, the manager's hand on Miranda's waist made her nervous.She took a deep breath first before stringing together a lie to tell. At least one more lie to save her today."Ashley and I happen to know each other very well. So he didn't hesitate to give me this dress
The woman placed herself in the middle between Audrey and Miranda. Not missing the opportunity to take part in the heated debate."Audrey, how can you say that Miranda's dress is a copy? That's a very vile accusation, Audrey." Patricia exaggerated, and then she turned to Miranda and showed a concerned expression. "Miranda, you better tell her and prove that you're not lying. So that he doesn't keep accusing you." Patricia smiled after saying that.However, Miranda could see that the smile was full of condescension. Miranda was getting annoyed.Patricia looked as if she was defending Miranda, even though Miranda knew full well that the woman would bring her down. And when Patricia later found out that Miranda had lied, Miranda was a thousand percent sure, the woman would be the one laughing the loudest at her."You don't have to play nice with me. I know it's just a ruse!" snapped Miranda who was already feeling annoyed. Her anger was getting out of control at this point.Because of Pa
She walked confidently and looked so elegant.People gasped when they saw her because she was quite famous as a top celebrity in the fashion world. Mila was her name.The whispers were starting to get louder by this time. Mila stepped forward and positioned herself between Audrey and Miranda.She stopped herself there. "Incidentally, the person who embroidered the Tears of Paris dress is Emily. She's a good friend of mine from Europe. And I'm very familiar with how the embroidery works, so I can say, I can recognize which Tears of Paris dress is real and which is not," Mila explained at length. Letting everyone know that she was ready to help in this heated debate.Everyone seemed to be in awe of her. But Miranda was not.She did recognize Mila as a top celebrity, and she even idolized the celebrity. Miranda had tried several times to get close to Mila and also asked for a photo with her, unfortunately, the opportunity never came to her.And today, her dream of meeting Mila finally ca
Everyone was shocked to hear Mila's account of the dress worn by Miranda.She said with great certainty that Miranda was wearing a fake Tears of Paris.Everyone who heard her gasped in disbelief. Then hurtful whispers were heard.Everyone thought that Miranda should not wear an imitation dress to attend such a classy party.They looked very disappointed in Miranda and deeply regretted it.Miranda's heart now felt like it was being squeezed. Miranda used to like Mila and idolize her so much, but now she took that back.Miranda hated Mila who had degraded and lowered her self-esteem. Her hands were clenched tightly beside the dress she was wearing.Feeling unaccepting of her defeat, Miranda then blamed Ashley for what had happened to her." I didn't know that this dress was fake. Because a few days ago, Ashley gave it to me directly. Does that mean the designer tricked me?" Miranda continued to lie to everyone there. Trying to win the sympathy of the reporters again.She also put on a
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
