Ch. 1011..1020

Chapter 1011 Truth or Dare

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 wanted to excuse herself, but Amelia insisted that everyone was waiting for her and that she rarely came to Casier. So Audrey agreed.

Amelia told her she had arranged for someone to pick her up.

She didn't expect Triston to be the one to pick her up when she arrived downstairs and saw the familiar sports car. One thing that expired as quickly as Triston's girlfriends was his cars. But he always loved this Ferrari. He bought this car when they were still dating. She picked it up and chose the license plate number.

Since they broke up, Audrey did not see this car again. She did not expect him to drive it today.

Seeing her freeze, Triston smiled. "What's wrong?"

His low voice brought Audrey back to her senses. She looked at Triston and asked with a smile, "I didn't expect Amelia to arrange for you to pick me up."

Triston paused. His eyes darkened and became normal again. He still wore that smile, but it was slightly different now. "She didn't arrange for me. I insisted on coming."

The smile on Audrey's face froze for a moment, her expression a little awkward.

They were silent for a while, and Audrey changed the topic. "Let's go. Or Amelia will be calling."

Audrey took the initiative to sit in the car without waiting for Triston to open the door. Triston sat on the driver's seat, silently starting the car.

They didn't speak until they arrived at the party. And the moment they opened the door, they were warm- welcomed.

Amelia pounced over and hugged Audrey.

Audrey stumbled and took a step back. If not for Triston's timely move to hold her back, Audrey and Amelia would have had to fall.

Before Amelia could react, Triston's face had darkened, and he said unhappily, "Hey, be careful, young lady!" Amelia also didn't expect Audrey to fall. She hadn't seen Audrey for too long, so she got excited. She looked at Audrey with a guilty face and apologized.

This, in turn, embarrassed Audrey, "Don't fuss about it. Let me have one more hug, Amelia. I've missed you." Amelia said happily, "You are the best, Audrey! Triston is being overprotective."

The atmosphere instantly changed. Audrey felt her cheeks burning and didn't know how to respond.

Triston didn't want her to be too embarrassed, so he changed the topic in time. "Are you going to invite us inside or not?" They've been talking by the door.

Amelia glared at him with dissatisfaction. She was acting as his wingman. Why couldn't he play on? He fell short of his reputation as the biggest playboy in Casier.

"Come on in!" She led Audrey through the door, leaving Triston behind. "Let's have a drink and ignore him."

Audrey smiled faintly and joined the joyful party.

Catherine was in Casier recently, so Zobber and Ronin were here, too. This was also why Amelia couldn't wait to rush to Casier. Without them, Loxton all seemed dull. They hadn't gathered together for a long time, so they drank crazy and talked recklessly.

Zobber held a glass and sat next to Triston.

Triston had no intention of drinking. So he said, "Drink with Withal and leave me alone."

Zobber would not let go of him so quickly. "Okay, no drinking. Just answer a question." She looked at him with a raised brow and an evil smile.

Triston was helpless and smiled faintly. "Fine. Just ask."

"I saw the picture on Twitter. What did you and Audrey do together?" asked Zobber.

The noisy room instantly quieted down. The crowd focused their eyes on Triston, all waiting for him to answer. Although Audrey was a bit embarrassed, she remained silent. She also wanted to know what he would say. She wanted to know what he was thinking.

Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Triston picked up the glass on the table and clinked it violently against Zobber's. "I might as well drink."

The crowd was disappointed at how fast he surrendered. So was Audrey. FindNovel.net

Zobber coldly glared at Triston and said, "Coward!"

Triston smiled silently and continued to drink. He wanted to get back with Audrey more than anyone, but he didn't want to scare her away because she would chicken out any minute. He was more than thankful that she didn't run away from him now. He was in no rush.

Withal took Tristan's hint and stopped Zabber from saying more. Triston was not as cunning as Branden, but Withal knew he was more than a playboy. He'd better keep an eye on Zobber before she offended him. Besides, he noticed the way Triston looked at Audrey. He was determined to have her. What did Zobber and Amelia know about a man in love?

Chapter 1012 To Be Friends

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 between you and Triston?"

Zobber received Amelia's hint and immediately echoed. "Yeah, what's going on? Come on, tell us."

Audrey didn't have many friends. Amelia and Zobber were trustworthy. Besides, she had no one to tell it to.

Audrey sighed heavily. "Nothing is going on. We are not getting back together. I guess we'll be friends in the future."

"Why?" Amelia exclaimed in disbelief. "You two are made for each other. Don't be friends. It sucks."

Although she had a limited number of ex-boyfriends, she could tell Audrey had feelings for Triston. Triston treated Audrey differently from other women. He didn't talk about his love for her even when pushed by Zobber. FindNovel.net

Audrey pursed her lips and didn't say anything. It was not easy to make them understand. Triston and she wouldn't break up in the first place if they were so perfect together. Triston's mother had always disliked her, and Audey didn't want Triston to fall out with his family for her. She was over him anyway and happy to be friends. Amelia still wanted to ask more questions but was stopped by Zobber.

It was between Audrey and Triston. They knew better than them outsiders. She had already seen Audrey's embarrassment and didn't want Amelia to push any further, leaving it to themselves.

Amelia only asked these questions out of concern, and since Audrey didn't want to talk about it anymore, she stopped asking.

So, they rejoined the party. And Audrey was delighted again. With these friends, she became self-indulgent in eating and drinking.

It was late at night, and while the ladies had no intention of wrapping up, the boys were sleepy and yawning. So, they wrapped up early. Each boy would send a girl home. Triston was to send Audrey home.

Audrey was so drunk that she could barely stand. Triston smiled helplessly. "Do you need me to help you to the car?"

Chapter 1013 The Hangover

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 her from behind, feeling helpless. It was like hitting on cotton with all his strength.

Only when the lights in Audrey's apartment were on did Triston drive away reluctantly. He didn't know that when he was waiting for the lights, she was waiting for him to leave.

Only after the car left did Audrey return to her room and collapse on the bed powerlessly. The alcohol temporarily numbed her nerves, allowing her to sleep comfortably and peacefully for a night.

******

Audrey woke up early in the morning with a dry mouth and a headache due to the hangover.

She got up with her head all dizzy, and her burning stomach could really use some icy drinks.

The doorbell rang suddenly. She thought it was Kim and opened the door without hesitation, only to find a strange man outside.

Audrey was scared and was about to close the door when she heard him respectfully say, "Please don't be scared, Miss Swann. I'm just here to deliver something. I'll leave it here. Have a nice day."

He seemed to know what Audrey was scared of and left.

Audrey took the bag back inside. She opened the bag and found a thermos and a food box. Inside the thermos was veggie stew, and waffles from her favorite coffee shop were inside the food box.

Audrey could tell that the person who sent her breakfast this time should be the one who sent her snacks last time. But how could the person know her tastes so well? She couldn't figure out his purpose.

Although she really could use some breakfast now, she decided not to eat it. After being in the entertainment industry for a long time, she knew what ardent fans could do. She was always on guard.

The doorbell rang again, and Audrey looked at the peephole first, confirming that it was Kim before opening the door.

Kim said excitedly, "I brought you breakfast for your hangover. Am I the best agent or what?"

Jin was waiting for Audrey's reply when he saw the food on the table. He was confused. "Someone brought you breakfast already? Who is it? It must be Triston."

Chapter 1014 Be on Your Guard

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 leave it to you, then."

Kim packed up the food and left Audrey to eat the breakfast. He went to the apartment manager's office. He wanted to know if someone had been stalking Audrey by checking the surveillance, hoping to catch this fanatical fan.

By the time Audrey finished breakfast, Kim had also returned to the apartment.

"Did you find anything?" asked Audrey.

Kim shook his head, "No one suspicious. And the things sent to you were only sent up after the security double- checked that they were okay. Still, we can't let our guard down. I'll be more careful, and you should be on your guard, too."

Audrey nodded and took his advice. "I'm done eating. Let's head out." She had a commercial show to attend at noon. Although now famous and popular, she still liked to be on time.

Kim saw black circles under her eyes and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "You sure you don't need a nap?"

Ever since that incident, Audrey was like a different person and began working incredibly hard. No matter how busy she was, Kim never heard her complain. She immersed herself in endless work. Sometimes, even Kim wanted to tell her to rest.

Audrey drank the coffee in one gulp and threw the disposable cup into the trash can. "No. Let's go. I can have more time to read the script after makeup."

Kim could only let her be.

Audrey's car arrived at the venue, surrounded by many fans who had received the news and waited a long time to welcome her.

The driver tried to force their way out but was stopped by Audrey.

Audrey rolled down the window and greeted the fans, "Why are you guys here so early?"

The fans were excited and screamed when Audrey talked to them.

"You are early, too, Audrey," said one fan.

"Yeah, we won't run into you if we're late," said another fan.

These fans knew Audrey was punctual. That was why they were waiting for her.

The car slowed to a stop, and Kim escorted Audrey out.

Although the fans loved her, they were restrained, and everything was under control.

However, someone suddenly shouted, "Watch out!"

Audrey subconsciously turned around and saw a figure pouncing over.

Chapter 1015 Who Were They

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."

Audrey was startled at first, but now she had calmed down. "Thanks to those bodyguards. I want to give them a pay bump for an extra month. Cover it with my account." She would be in real danger if they did not rush forward in time.

Kim nodded in agreement, but then he realized something was wrong. "Wait. The company didn't hire them." "What?" Audrey didn't expect this.

Kim said confidently, 'I'm pretty sure they're not our bodyguards. Maybe the event planner hired them. I'll ask about it later and thank them." They should totally thank the planner for treating Audrey seriously and hiring well- trained bodyguards for her.

So Audrey left this all to Kim and put it behind her mind.

*****

Audrey's emotions stabilized after a short break, and she began putting on her makeup.

Kim came back from outside and then invited the makeup artist out with a severe look on his face.

Seeing his strange expression, Audrey couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did you find out anything? Is it about the attacker?"

Kim nodded. "Yeah, he's a fanatic fan who has been pursuing you for many years, and at the police station, he quickly admitted everything. He was out of his mind, fantasizing about being with you, and claimed not to intend to cause you harm."

Audrey was not surprised. She had heard so much of this crap. "That's not surprising. So why so serious?"

Kim looked at her and whispered, "It is those bodyguards I'm thinking about."

"Them? Why? Did the event planner ask for something?" Audrey asked naturally. She thought the planner had taken the opportunity to make some excessive requests and got Kim so serious.

But Kim just shook his head. "I wouldn't be so shocked if the planner hired them. The planner told me their bodyguards were in the venue. They are not their people."

Audrey was dumbfounded. They were neither hired by the company nor the planner. Who were they?

Chapter 1016 The Mysterious Man

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 words and hung up. Then, with the most severe look, she turned to Kim and said, "It's not him, Kim. Try to find some clues, and if it doesn't work, ask the Duncans for help.

Kim knew what she meant. Everything happening recently was so weird. He had to look into it. He also knew Audrey wouldn't ask for help unless necessary. So, he would try his best to find the truth before turning to the Duncans for help.

"Don't worry, Audrey. Leave it all to me," he said.

Kim's assurances soothed her. She always trusted him.

*****

In the Lambert Group building, Triston had been standing there and lost in thoughts for a while. His assistant hesitated to interrupt. But with a lot of work ahead, he stepped forward discreetly with his head lowered and asked, "Mr. Lambert, shall we proceed with the meeting?"

A group of executives were still waiting for him in the conference room.

"Oh, yes," said Triston.

The assistant nodded and was about to inform everyone at the meeting. But Tristan stopped him, saying, "Find out what was going on with the bodyguards at Audrey's commercial show."

The assistant hurriedly acted on his order.

Perhaps ordinary people could not see the difference, but Triston knew at a glance at the screen that those bodyguards were not regular ones. They were well-trained, and some of them were veterans. A security team like this shouldn't be at commercial events. That was weird. Triston had to find out who was behind the scenes. When Triston exited the conference room after the meeting, he saw his assistant waiting at the side. Triston deduced from the assistant's expression that he had found something. Or else he wouldn't be waiting here. "Let's talk in my office," said Triston.

The assistant followed Triston into the office and then placed a report on the desk. "We got the info from the Duncans and did our investigation. After putting both pieces together, we're pretty sure it's him, Mr. Lambert, said the assistant.

Triston flipped through the report, his face instantly grimacing, his cold eyes staring at the photos on the profile page.

The atmosphere in the office became tense, and the assistant, breaking into a cold sweat, was too scared to speak.

Triston suddenly stood up, prompting the assistant to inquire, "Where are you going, Mr. Lambert? Shall I prepare a car for you?'

"To Audrey's apartment." With that, Triston headed out without looking back.

*****

After the commercial show, the sudden situation gave Kim an excuse not to attend the after-party. Therefore, Audrey got to return home early.

She was exhausted yet couldn't stop thinking about what had happened today.

She had always thought Triston did all this, but his reaction suggested otherwise. She couldn't think of anyone else.

Just as Audrey was thinking, the doorbell suddenly rang, startling her.

Audrey hadn't dared to open the door rashly with the previous lesson.

She looked at the monitor, saw Triston outside, and opened the door. "What are you doing here?" asked Audrey.

Triston didn't answer her question but said, "Can we talk inside?"

After they entered the house, Audrey awkwardly asked Triston to sit down. This was Triston's first time entering the apartment since she returned to Casier.

"Water?" she asked.

Triston saw her discomfort and casually waved his hand. 'No, I'm okay. I came to ask you a few questions. Did some weird things happen to you lately?"

Hearing this, Audrey immediately looked up at him. "What do you mean by that?" she asked.

Triston didn't beat around the bush and spit it out. "The security team today, the event planner did not provide them, did they?"

Audrey did not want Triston to meddle in this matter, but she couldn't deny it. She knew that it was useless to lie in front of Triston. He was as sly as a fox.

"What do you mean? You know who they are?" Audrey asked in reply.

Triston nodded and handed Audrey the report his assistant gave him. He hated to do this, but Audrey had the right to know.

Audrey shot a suspicious glance, picked up the report on the table, and flipped through it.

When she saw the photo on the profile, Audrey smiled bitterly. She should have expected it. Who else but him would know her so well? The snacks, the breakfast, and the security team were all from Brian. She didn't expect him to have the guts to come back.

Triston looked at Audrey, who had been silent. He had never felt so insecure. He didn't know what was on her mind now or would she be shaken by what Brian had clone for her.

After a century-long hesitation, Triston couldn't help but ask, "What are you gonna do then?"

Chapter 1017 What Brian's up To

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.

At this time there was a very ugly look on Triston's face.

He stared at Audrey with cold eyes and a solemn face.

"Are you still into Brian after all these years?' Triston asked.

His eyesight was so oppressive that Audrey could hardly stare back; then she turned her head slightly, trying to avoid direct eye-contact with Triston. However, this slight body movement revealed her heart and it really upset Triston.

Triston had made great efforts to get her out of the control of Brian, but Audrey seemed to be ungrateful for what he had done.

Triston thought, "She still cares about Brian, but she never casts a glance on me.

"Should all my efforts end in vain?"

Triston feared he could not resist the anger any longer if he stayed.

He decided to leave in advance for fear of the breakout of a quarrel.

"You'd better think it again; I'll see you the other day," said Triston.

Before leaving he added, "Call me whenever you want."

Audrey's eyes clouded with the blankness when Triston had gone.

She knew she had let Triston down, but she was at a complete loss right now.

The sudden appearance of Brian screwed up all her plans.

Audrey was unsure of Brian's intention. Was he trying to use her again or to take his revenge?

Too many thoughts have blown up her mind.

In the evening, Audrey was lost in thought when Kim Morris picked her up. Trying to comfort her, Kim said, " Audrey, I say, don't think so much. We can turn to the Duncans for help. They must have ways to find out who is behind this attack."

Audrey interrupted him quickly.

"I've already known," said Audrey.

Kim looked at her with astonishment.

Audrey then told Kim what Triston had found about Brian.

"That lad gets a lot of nerve showing up in Casier. He has no idea of what great challenges he will face here." Kim marveled.

The Lamberts, the Duncans, and Catherine Swann alone made up "the Big Three" of Casier, and they could easily have Brian wrapped around their fingers.

What Brian had done, however, was getting himself killed.

Audrey was still at a loss; she could not figure out what Brian was up to now.

At this time an unexpected guest knocked on the front door of Audrey's green room.

Chapter 1018 Have You Never Liked Me

A sudden knack 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 smiled calmly.

"Do you not want to see me?"

Seeing them standing at the door, Kim was worried that they would be photographed by the passer-by.

He asked Brian to come inside, which Audrey didn't disagree.

Brian followed Audrey into the room after she turned and walked in.

Kim invited Brian to sit down passionately.

Audrey glanced at Kim and said to him, "Kim, help me check what time will the event start and what to expect next.'

The flow of the event had been checked several times and it was impossible that Audrey didn't know.

Kim understood that Audrey was trying to send him away.

He hesitantly threw Audrey a glance and noticed how firm she was from her eyes.

He could only leave the lounge first for them to have personal space.

After Kim left, Audrey sized Brian up before asking slowly, "The jewelry is from you, right? And the bodyguard is one of your men too, isn't it?'

"Ha!" Brian hooked his lips and smiled. The smile on his face was cold. "Did Triston tell you these?"

Audrey answered in a low voice, "It doesn't matter who told me. Are you going to admit it?"

"Fine!" Brian nodded. "I admit it."

'But did it bother you? Or did I cause you trouble?"

Audrey had to admit that Brian's help did mean a lot to her during this period. She wouldn't know what would happen if he didn't lend her a helping hand the other day.

However, she hated being manipulated.

It was because Tristan knew this that he never arranged someone to be by her side.

Audrey said coldly. "Thanks. I'll ask Kim to contact your assistant later to give you back the jewelry."

Instead of giving her the right response, Brian asked, "Do you not like it?"

When he saw the jewelry at the auction, he felt that it would look good on Audrey, and he auctioned it off without hesitation.

The jewelry was beautiful and it was her favorite style.

But she would get it herself if she liked it. She didn't want others to buy it for her.

"I don't like it. Please take it back."

Audrey answered without hesitation, making the smile on Brian's face go stiff.

He remained silent for a while before speaking again.

"Do you hate me that much?"

Audrey didn't answer. She dared not to look into Brian's eyes and could only say, "The event is about to start soon. I have to go get ready now."

Just as she was about to walk out of the door, Brian suddenly called out to her.

Audrey looked back and heard him ask seriously, "Have you never liked me before?"

Chapter 1019 Remembered

After Kim Morris entered the door, he saw Audrey Swann sitting there alone in a daze, and stepped forward curiously

Mr. 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 deeply

In her mind, it was full of the words Brian White had said.

The beginning of her relationship with Brian White was originally a calculation, Brian White asked her if she had ever liked him.

Even she didn't know that.

She thought about it for a long time, but she still didn't have an answer.

She admitted that in the process of dating Brian White, Brian White took good care of her.

But she wasn't sure if she liked it, and she didn't even understand it herself.

This is also the reason why when Brian White asked her, she had no way to answer it, because she really didn't know.

Kim Morris quickly bought the coffee back, Audrey Swann adjusted her mood and prepared to go on stage

Today, she was invited to attend the spring launch of a major brand.

Not only are there a lot of celebrities, but also a lot of business celebrities.

When Audrey Swann appeared, many fans who cared about her were frantically waving their flags and shouting for her, which immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

Seeing the enthusiasm of her fans, a number of media also stepped forward to interview her to seize the heat. The few people who were originally interviewed instantly lost their eyes and stomped their feet angrily. The leader is Huang Qianwen, a special guest of the brand this time. Although she is not a star in the entertainment industry, she was specially invited by the brand to participate due to her strong family background.

Looking at the attentive media in front of me just now, now that they are all gone, Huang Qianwen's face suddenly became a little ugly.

What the hell is going on here, what big guys are coming?

The actress standing next to her is called Lin Anna. Last time, there was originally a film that found her, but in the end, Audrey Swann was decided.

This made Lin Anna completely hate Audrey Swann in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that she was not as successful as Audrey Swann, there was no way to confront Audrey Swann head-on; she would have attacked Audrey Swann a long time ago.

Now that she's finally waiting for her chance, how could she miss it?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she added all kinds of oil and vinegar to Audrey Swann by Huang Qianwen's side.

Miss Huang, you look at Audrey Swann too domineering. I don't know how many fans she hired before appearing. It's really for the sake of popularity, without any consideration for face.

Huang Qianwen stared in the direction of Audrey Swann. Seeing Audrey Swann smiling brightly under the stars and moon, her heart was very unhappy.

It's just a drama that dares to steal the limelight from her.

Although the Huang family's influence is not in Casier, no actor dares to bask in her glory.

It seems that if she doesn't teach this Audrey Swann a lesson, she doesn't know that the sky is high.

Audrey Swann didn't know that she had been targeted, and she was trying to smile and meet the media.

Miss Swann, what would you like to say about the incident where black fans openly attacked you a few days ago?

Chapter 1020: Hidden at the Corner

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 controversial questions.

That question is too tricky.

After all, when a celebrity sues a fan, no matter how justified the celebrity may be, it will certainly trigger some irrational reactions from fans.

Fans are the foundation of a celebrity's presence in the entertainment industry, and no celebrity would want to offend their fans.

If Audrey were to say she's suing this fan, it could potentially offend a large portion of her fan base.

If she says she won't sue, it sets a potential situation for future incidents where haters can act without restrictions and be free, potentially causing Audrey countless troubles.

Mr. Morris hurried to step forward to intervene, but Audrey stopped him with a glance.

Audrey locked eyes with the reporter who asked and said: "Why don't you answer instead? If you were in my shoes, how would you handle it?"

The reporter chuckled and replied: "Ms. Swann, I'm the one asking the questions here. Please answer mine." Audrey's expression turned slightly serious as she responded: "For legal matters, you should ask the police. *And since today is the brand's launch, please be respectful and ask questions about the brand only." Seeing Ms. Swann getting annoyed, the reporter stopped pestering her, and everyone else backed off as well.

Audrey isn't worried about the reporter misinterpreting things, she has been in the industry long enough to handle it.

After briefly responding to a few questions, Audrey stepped down from the stage.

As soon as she stepped down, Mr. Morris came up to her side.

"The reporter who asked the question just now is on our opponent's side. Don't worry, if he dares to say nonsense that is out of the line, I'll make sure to deal with him."

Mr. Morris spoke confidently with an assurance, as if he had everything under control.

No one wants to pick a fight for no reason, Audrey knew exactly what was going on when the reporter asked those controversial questions.

It must have been someone from the opposition being sent to stir up trouble. These things aren't uncommon in the entertainment industry, but Audrey is not afraid.

"Come on, let's go into the venue first.""

Mr. Morris understood that the brand event was more important at the moment. He nodded and replied, "Okay!" Once they entered the venue, Mr. Morris suddenly couldn't find Ms. Swann's seat.

Given Audrey Swann's current status in the industry, attending the event would mean sitting prominently in the front row, if not right in the middle, at least in a prominent position where she could be seen easily.

But Mr. Morris searched around for a while and couldn't find Ms. Swann's name tag anywhere, which made him feel quite puzzled.

Audrey also noticed the issue and told Mr. Morris not to worry, asking someone to inquire about it first.

After asking the on-site staff, they finally found Ms. Swann's name tag tucked away in a hidden spot at the back corner of the venue.

Seeing where the name tag was placed, Mr. Morris's expression instantly turned serious.

"What's going on? Did they just change the seats last-minute?"

"This is really unfair.'

"Even though they didn't include about the seats into the contract, the seating arrangements were discussed beforehand. It's rare for such last-minute changes like this to happen."

"They really dared to do this, it shows how much they look down on us."
