Chapter 121

After returning to Riverdale, the Harper family success!aille

Audrey was afraid it would be too tiring for them to tidy up a i Alistair's house. > their new home.

or her, so she rejected their request to stay over and returned to her and

After taking a shower, she lay on the bed in her comfortable pajamas and began to calculate how much savings she had.

After buying a new car, her design fees from Koivara were gone. She had given Fiona most of her salary over the years, so she did not save muc Looking at the little savings she had left, she sighed deeply. With her current money, she could not even afford a washroom, let alone buy a house for her parents.

Audrey felt she had to think of a way to earn money...

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly remembered she had received many tips during her previous live broadcast. After deducting the official commission, there should be hundreds of thousands of dollars. She immediately logged into her TikTok to see how much money was left.

Before she could check the balance, a new message popped up.

'An invitation letter to Supergalactic Idol talent show? Huh? What is this?' Audrey thought that she had received some scam information. She directly turned off the message and reported the other party's account. After that, the platform paused for a moment before turning black.

Audrey was puzzled for two seconds. She pressed the shutdown button twice before the screen lit up. Then, she was stunned by over 99 notifications.

She thought, 'Fuck, why are there so many messages all of a sudden? Am I cyberbullied?'

Audrey did not dare to look at her private messages. Just as she was about to log out, she unintentionally clicked on her homepage.

She became even more uneasy when she saw the number of her followers.

'One, two, three... Oh my God, three million. I have more than three million followers: Audrey was shocked.

The last time she did a live broadcast, she had less than 300 thousand followers.

In just a few days, her followers had increased tenfold.

However, she had not updated her account for the past few days.

She wondered why there were suddenly so many people following her.

'What happened? Could there be a bug in the system?' Audrey wondered. [Oh! Audie, you're finally online.]

Some followers saw Audrey online and immediately sent her private messages.

After the last live broadcast ended, a famous entertainment company in the country reposted the video of you singing. They even praised your singing on the official account. You're now the queen of popularity, Audie.] Even though you haven't been online for more than a week, many people are editing your singing videos, and your fans are increasing continuously. Many bloggers with tens of millions of fans can't compare to you.] Audrey finally understood what had happened after reading her followers' private messages. However, she still felt unreal.

The purpose of creating this video was to share her love experiences and secretly show off their love,

Unexpectedly, although the relationship didn't go smoothly, her singing became inexplicably popular.

It would take her some time to get used to it when so many people liked her suddenly.

Just as Audrey was in disbelief, the latest message popped up again.

[Hello, Ms. Audie. As our official account has been reported, to ensure that the information is correct, we sincerely invite you to participate in the Supergalactic Idol talent show.]

What the hell? These liars won't give up. Audrey subconsciously wanted to delete the message and report, but when her gaze landed on the account information, her expression suddenly froze.

Wait a minute... Supergalactic Entertainment? Isn't this the largest entertainment company in the country? Is the previous message from the talent show program?' Audrey was stunned.

Although she did not want to participate in any talent show, it did not seem right to report their official account for no reason.

Thinking of this, Audrey replied guiltily: [Thank you for your kindness, but I have no plans to participate in any variety shows now.]

She was well aware of her capabilities. It was okay for her to entertain herself, but she thought she couldn't control the situation on the big stage. She might even become a joke.

The other party quickly replied to her private message a few seconds later.

He said: [Hello, Ms. Audie. My last name is Patel. I'm the person in charge of the Supergalactic Idol program. Is it convenient for us to communicate by phone?]

His contact information was also attached at the end.

Audrey thought about how he had attracted so many fans for her, but not only was she not grateful, but she also made his official account banned. Audrey felt even more guilty and had no choice but to call him. After the call went through, a young man's voice came from the other end. "Hello, Ms. Audie."

"Hello, My. Patel."

Kieran Patel smiled and said, "I saw your singing video. Your voice is special, and your singing skills are not bad. I sincerely invite you to participate in our company's talent show."

His tone was very polite, and he praised her like a rare talent. Audrey was a little shy.

However, after calming down for a moment, she still refused politely. "Mr. Patel, thank you for appreciating me so much, but I don't want to be a celebrity."

Kieran did not give up and continued, "Our talent show differs from the traditional ones. It mainly focuses on singing, and other talents are supplementary. Your singing skills are solid. You will shine in the show." Audrey still did not change her mind.

Seeing that he could not convince her with fame and fortune, Kieran changed his strategy and said, "Even if we can't make you successfully debut in the end, there's still an appearance fee of 2 million dollars. There's no need for us to go against money, right?" 2 million dollars?' Audrey's eyes lit up.

 

Chapter 122

If she wanted to buy a better house for her parents in Riverdale, she would need at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Koivara's design fee was paid once a quarter. Audrey had already used it to buy a car for Alistair the last time.

As for her salary at Rhodes Enterprises, it was only enough for her daily expenses.

She had some money on Tik Tok but did not intend to use it.

This was because when she first created this account, she had planned to donate all the proceeds to charity.

Now, participating in this talent show seemed a good choice.

Audrey said, "I need time to think about it."

"What? You're going to participate in the Supergalactic Idol?"

Zephyra stood up and glared at Eliza on the bed in the luxurious single-person ward.

Is Eliza crazy from staying in the hospital? With her little tricks, she still wants to enter the entertainment industry. What an Idiot!" Zephyra thought.

Zephyra's eyes were filled with disdain and contempt for Eliza, including undisguised disgust.

Compared to the domineering women like Audrey, Eliza's ignorance made her even more disgusted.

Eliza's expression was indifferent.

She had already guessed that Zephyra would refuse. Eliza only said unhurriedly, "Yes, I have to participate in this talent show."

"Are you crazy?"

Zephyra's expression darkened. She glared at Eliza fiercely and said, "Why don't you look at how bad your reputation is now? Don't you think it's embarrassing enough now? Are you going to attract hatred on the show?" Eliza pursed her lips and listened silently.

Zephyra was even angrier when she saw Eliza remain silent. She pointed at Eliza's nose and threatened, "I'm warning you. If you cause any more trouble for Dominic because of this, don't blame me for not caring about the child in your belly."

If Eliza dared to cause trouble again, even if she had the eldest grandchild of the Hayes family in her belly, she would not have a good ending.

Eliza took a deep breath and said softly, "Mrs. Hayes, don't be agitated. I've already gotten someone to deal with the public opinion online." Hearing this, Zephyra hesitated for a moment. She sized Eliza up and asked, "Did you get someone to calm down the storm on the Internet?"

That video had always bothered Zephyra. She felt Eliza had embarrassed the Hayes family.

However, the trend on the Internet suddenly changed this afternoon. A blogger with millions of fans exposed that Audrey had long betrayed Dominic, which was why she remarried someone else at their wedding.

He said someone took intimate videos of Dominic and Eliza in the fitting room because it was Audrey's trick.

Zephyra had always thought Dominic had handled it. She did not expect it to be handled by Eliza...

It's me, Eliza replied calmly.

Zephyra looked like she didn't believe it. "You know such a powerful person? Is he a friend of your parents?"

Eliza suddenly gritted her teeth. Her eyes were obscure as she trembled and said, "Kind of.

"Anyway, now that the matter has been resolved, no one will talk about me if I participate in the variety show. They will only sympathize with my past."

Although that was what she said, Zephyra didn't intend to compromise.

Her attitude was still unyielding as she said, "No, what's so good about participating in a lousy variety show? Not to mention that you might not be famous, even if you are famous, how much money' can you earn in a year? You might as well stay at home and recuperate. Give birth to the child

first."

Anyway, their family was not short of money.

What she valued the most now was still the child Eliza was carrying.

Eliza patiently explained, "Mrs. Hayes, it's the Internet era now. My live-stream platform only has a few million followers. I live-stream occasionally and can easily earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in two to three months!"

'Can she make so much? Zephyra's eyes lit up.

Although she was not short of money, no one would complain about having too much money.

She used to think Eliza was inferior to Audrey in work. She was afraid that Eliza would have to rely on her son to support her in the future.

From the looks of it, it was too early to worry.

Eliza observed Zephyra's expression and continued, "I'm still a small internet celebrity. Those C- and D-list celebrities can make millions of dollars just by filming an endorsement advertisement for a few minutes. Moreover, I didn't participate in this variety show to earn money only."

Then why? Zephyra was confused.

"I heard that the host of this show, Sunstar Entertainment, is a subsidiary of the Hayes family from Willowdale."

The corners of Eliza's mouth curled up slightly as she said ambitiously, "As long as I can win the championship on the show, I can attract the attention of the Hayes family from Willowdale."

Without needing Eliza to say, Zephyra knew what good it would do to be valued by the Hayes family from Willowdale.

For a moment, she no longer looked at Eliza with a picky and dissatisfied gaze.

She asked, "Can you win the championship?"

Eliza said confidently, "I didn't get the millions of followers for nothing. They all say that I sing very well."

Zephyra thought for a moment. "I can use my connections to get you into the production team, but whether you can win the championship will depend on you."

"Thank you, Mrs. Hayes." Eliza pursed her lips and grinned. She finally felt relieved.

Eliza was confident that she could attract the organizers' attention as long as she could appear in the program, even if she did not win the championship. She might even become a celebrity.

At that time, she would see who would dare to look down on her.

With that thought in mind, Eliza immediately logged into her TikTok and started the live broadcast after Zephyra left.

Because of the online storm two days ago, her fans were worried sick about her for the past two days. When they saw her broadcast, they came over to comfort her. Eliza appeased her fans and then casually said she was interested in Supergalactic Idol but hadn't received an invitation yet.

[Understood. Baby, we'll go to the production team's official account to urge them for you now. How can they not send you an invitation? They must have missed something.] Seeing that her fans were so sensible, Eliza's smile became even sweeter.

Just as she was about to pretend to decline, a comment suddenly appeared.

[Go and take a look. Supergalactic Idol's production team has just updated a post. They've confirmed that they'll invite a famous Tik Tok blogger as a guest on the show.]

 

 

Chapter 123

The officials of Supergalactic Idol announced that they would invite a TikTo: blogger as did not reveal the blogger's name. they deliberately made things mysterious and

They only implied the blogger was undoubtedly the queen of popularity. They even praised her singing skills.

The more Eliza read these messages, the more she felt they were referring to her.

She did not expect Zephyra to act so quickly and settle it in such a short time.

Although she was puzzled why the officials did not send her an invitation, Eliza did not think much about it. She thought they had forgotten about it because they were too busy. Her fans also congratulated her in the livestream.

[Our baby is the queen of popularity. I'm looking forward to her performance on the show.]

Looking at these praises, Eliza felt even more smug. She chatted with her fans for more than an hour before going offline.

After she went offline, the corners of her lips were still curled up. She couldn't wait to be discharged and go home to prepare for the show's recording.

Just as Eliza was instructing the nurses to come in and pack her luggage, her phone suddenly rang.

The moment she saw the caller ID, Eliza's eyes darkened. "This poor family is haunting me. Here they are again!'

Her expression turned cold. After picking up the call, she scolded, "Why are you still contacting me? We're not related anymore."

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment. His tone was dull as he said, "I'm at the cafe outside the hospital. I have something to ask you." Bcep! Bcep!

Before Eliza could refuse, the other party hung up.

Eliza was so angry that she suddenly gripped her phone tightly and punched the bed twice in frustration.

On the other side.

Audrey found a friend to confirm that the production team was legitimate. After careful consideration, she decided to participate in the talent show.

After communicating with the production team, she decisively donated the tips of hundreds of thousands of dollars anonymously to an orphanage in the same city. Meanwhile, Peter and Jessica were cleaning their new home with Miles.

Although it was a rented house, when they thought their family would be able to be together in the future and see Audrey often, they only felt an endless amount of energy in their bodies. After packing up, Miles washed his hands and shook off the water. He told the two people on the sofa, "Dad, Mom, let's go out to eat roast meat tonight to celebrate!"

Jessica smiled and agreed. "Okay, give Audrey a call. We'll go eat together."

After receiving the call, Audrey did not refuse. She changed her clothes and drove to pick them up.

They got into the car at the intersection. When they were discussing where to eat, Peter's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that the caller ID was Trevor, Peter's eyes flashed with relief. He instantly picked up the phone. "Hello, Trevor, have you arrived at the delivery place? Did it go smoothly this time?"

An unfamiliar female voice came from the other end. "Sir, your son was in a car accident."

When he heard the word "car accident", Peter felt blood rush to his brain. He was completely stunned.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Jessica saw that his expression was not right and asked anxiously.

"Trevor... Trevor got into a car accident." Peter's voice was trembling and even a little choked up.

Miles and Jessica were shocked when they heard that. They didn't know what to do.

Audrey was the first to react. She took Peter's phone and asked, "Who are you? Why do you have my brother's phone?"

She had to confirm if Trevor was in a car accident for real or if it was a telecommunications scam.

The girl on the other end sounded flustered, but her attitude was sincere. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit your brother with my car. I've already called an ambulance to take him to the hospital. His phone fell to the ground. I found this number in his contact list and called you."> Audrey's heart sank. She asked again, "Where did you hit my brother? How is my brother's condition?"

"Near Riverdale Women's and Children's Hospital. Your brother's condition isn't serious. He doesn't seem to have any external injuries, but he seems to have been agitated by something and fainted.

"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility. However, I'm not in the wrong in this accident. If you're free, I hope you can come over and deal with it."

Audrey's eyelids twitched. 'Riverdale Women's and Children's Hospital? Isn't that where Eliza was hospitalized? Didn't Trevor go to deliver the goods? Why is he in this hospital?'

She couldn't help but wonder, 'Could it be that... the delivery was fake, and he had secretly gone to look for Eliza?'

For a moment, Audrey had mixed feelings.

She said, "Please send me the address on my brother's phone. We'll be right there."

 

Chapter 124

Half an hour later, Audrey arrived near the hospital with the Harper family people, who were panicked.

From afar, Audrey saw a young girl holding Eliza's arm tightly, refusing to let her go.

"Let go of me. You hit him with your car. What does it have to do with me? If you keep pestering, I'll call the police," said Eliza.

"Do it. That person wouldn't have fallen into the driveway if you hadn't suddenly pushed him, and I wouldn't have hit him. Yes. I'm responsible, but you can't run away, too."

Facing the unrelenting girl, Eliza's eyes flashed with frustration.

She said, "He's a cripple. He fell into traffic because he couldn't stand straight. He was unlucky. I missed the part where that's my problem..."

Jessica, who had rushed over, couldn't take it anymore when she heard that. She rushed forward and slapped Eliza hard.

Bang!

Eliza staggered as a red and swollen palm print appeared on her cheek.

She covered her face in shock and glared at Jessica.

Jessica's eyes were cold, and her chest heaved violently. She said sternly, "Eliza. If Trevor hadn't saved you back then, he wouldn't have been crippled. How could you say that about him behind his back? Do you still have a conscience?" Eliza gritted her teeth in humiliation and retorted, "He asked for it. I didn't ask him to save me. He was willing to do it and was stupid. What right do you have to hit me?"

"You... you..." Jessica was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She pointed

at

Eliza, her face red with anger.

She had always known that her daughter was selfish. Jessica used to think it was because Layla influenced her.

Only now did she understand that Eliza was born to be so cold-blooded and mean.

Peter's heart ached as he calmed his wife down. He also looked at Eliza in disbelief.

He could not believe that his daughter, whom he had doted on for over twenty years, was so ungrateful.

Not only was she not grateful to Trevor for saving her life, she even humiliated him like that.

Peter shook his head. The last bit of affection he had for Eliza was completely gone.

Miles did not like Eliza to begin with. When he saw her humiliate his brother and anger his parents to this extent, he was instantly enraged. He clenched his fists and was about to rush forward to beat her up.

He said, "Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of Trevor."

"Don't you dare!" Eliza had just been slapped and was already on guard.

She took a step back and waved the phone in her hand. She said proudly, "I've already recorded the scene of you guys hitting me just now. I'm pregnant now. So many of you are bullying me, If you don't apologize now, I'll call the police immediately." She smirked and pointed at Jessica, saying arrogantly, "You deliberately hurt me. When the time comes, the police will arrest you first."

Hearing this, the Harper family was dumbfounded.

Peter did not expect Eliza to be so cunning. For a moment, he was disappointed and angry. "We've raised you for so many years. We're just teaching you a lesson. But you want to call the police?"

Eliza raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "The police won't care if you raise me. They will only know that I have nothing to do with you now. And you rely on your advantage in numbers to bully a pregnant woman. If anything happens to my child, you will be committing premeditated murder. I wonder how long you will be imprisoned for this crime." Peter was rendered speechless.

Jessica had just undergone a major surgery and had yet to recover. If Eliza called the police and they went to the police station, it would not be good for Jessica's body.

At the thought of this, Peter's tough expression gradually relaxed. He was about to compromise...

At this moment, Audrey suddenly arrived in front of Eliza.

Eliza was shocked by her actions. She thought that Audrey was going to hit her, so sh

The next second, she felt that her hand was empty.

By the time she reacted, Audrey had already snatched her phone away.

hed and closed her eyes.

Realizing what Audrey wanted to do, Eliza instantly jumped up and wanted to snatch the phone back. "What are you doing? Give me back my phone."

Audrey avoided Eliza's snatch and deleted all the videos on her phone. She also cleared Eliza's recycling bin to prevent Eliza from restoring it.

Then, she raised her hand and threw the phone back to Eliza.

Eliza held her phone. When she saw that the video was gone, her eyes darkened and she shouted angrily, "Bitch, who allowed you to delete my video? Oh, I'm going to beat you to death."

 

Chapter 125

The only video that could threaten the Harper family was gone just like that. The previous video was also deleted. Eliza was so angry that she was at a loss. She raised her hand and was about to hit Audrey. Eliza's slap was about to land on Audrey's face when Miles grabbed Eliza's wrist and shook it off forcefu

"Don't hurt my sister," said Miles.

Seeing how protective Miles was of Audrey, Eliza became even more jealous. 'Damn it, Audrey had only known the Harper family people for a few days, but she could coax them.

Jealousy surged in her heart, but when she thought of the child she was carrying, Eliza did not dare to act rashly.

Her eyes darted around. When they landed on the dumbfounded girl beside her, she suddenly had an idea.

"What's the point of deleting the video? I have witnesses," Eliza said, "Hello? You saw it just now, right? They deliberately hurt me. You have to testify for me."

Eliza thought this girl must be a person with a strong sense of justice because she had not let Eliza go after the car accident.

She thought that girl would stand on her side since she had said so..

Just as Eliza thought she could win a round, the girl suddenly shook off her hand and said coldly, "I didn't see if they deliberately hurt you, but I did see it with my own eyes that you hurt others."

'If I hadn't braked in time, that handsome man who was as good-looking as the male protagonist of the comic would have died, the girl thought.

She thought Eliza deserved to be beaten up. How could she testify for such a scumbag?

Eliza's expression changed and she denied it. "You saw wrongly before. I only touched him lightly. His fall had nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, not to mention the Harper family and Audrey, even Queeny Yeats, who was beside them, was stunned.

'How can this person's words change so quickly? How shameless!' Queeny thought.

Queeny couldn't stand it anymore and was about to retort.

However, Eliza said, "Besides, there's no evidence. Who knows if you were careless when you were driving and wanted to blame me now that something happened?" Queeny was speechless.

She was too angry. She wanted to beat this shameless person to death.

She was about to make a move when someone touched her shoulder.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a beautiful and refined face. She immediately felt stunned, and her entire body subconsciously softened.

Audrey smiled at her and asked softly, "Hi! Beauty. can you tell me where you saw her push him?"

"This beautiful woman's voice is also pleasant to the ears. Moreover, she is so beautiful, yet she still called me "Beauty"... Queeny was stunned. She turned around in a daze and pointed at an intersection nearby. "It's a little closer to the traffic light ahead." "Thank you. Audrey nodded and called an upperclassman of hers who worked at the traffic bureau.

The phone rang for two seconds before the other party picked up.

Audrey said softly, "Dennis, are you still working at the Riverdale's traffic bureau?"

The person on the other end responded with a yes and teased gently, "How did a busy person like you think of contacting me? Did something happen?

Audrey then said, "Here's the thing. My family was in a car accident at the second intersection of Flow Road. Can you help me check the surveillance footage at this intersection? The exact time is..."

When Eliza heard that Audrey had someone check the surveillance footage along the road, she panicked.

However, on second thought, she thought the surveillance footage was not something anyone could check just because they wanted to.

Eliza thought Audrey was putting on an act to scare her.

Three minutes later, Audrey's phone rang.

Audrey's expression instantly darkened when she saw the short surveillance video she had received on her phone.

Seeing Audrey didn't look well, Peter quickly asked, "Audrey, have you found the surveillance footage?"

Audrey could not calm down. She nodded silently and showed them the video.

Peter's expression darkened when he saw the video. He pointed at Eliza's nose and scolded, "Eliza, are you even hurnan? How can you do this to your brother, who has doted on you for over twenty years?" Eliza clenched her fists tightly.

She did not expect Audrey to find the surveillance video. She still wanted to quibble. "It wasn't me. I didn't-"

Jessica knew Eliza wouldn't admit it, so she interrupted coldly, "Don't say anything else. Call the police. This is deliberate murder."

Hearing this, Eliza completely panicked. "No, you can't call the police..."

She still had to participate in a talent show.

Celebrities could not leave any stains.

However, no matter what Eliza said, the Harper family was determined to call the police.

When Eliza was in despair, she suddenly saw Trevor behind the crowd.

She immediately ran over to hold his hand and pretended to be concerned. "Trevor, are you alright?"

Trevor's expression did not change.

Eliza's expression stiffened. She stammered, "Trevor, I didn't push you on purpose. I was just too nervous and accidentally did it. Can you explain it to Mom and Dad and ask them not to call the police?"

 

Chapter 126

Looking at the girl he had doted on for over 20 years, Trevor felt a chill in his heart.

Not long ago, she had been calling him a poor parasite.

But at this moment, she was calling him brother sweetly, as if all the disputes had never happened.

She must have thought that I would be as stupid as before. As long as she said a few words, my heart would soften, Trevor thought.

Unfortunately... she was going to be disappointed this time.

"I, a poor man, can't afford to be your family. As for whether you did it on purpose or accidentally, the police will naturally make a judgment," said Trevor. His words meant he would listen to Jessica and call the police.

Eliza's pupils trembled, and her gaze instantly became fierce. "Since you guys are so ruthless, you'd better not beg me in the future."

Miles could not take it anymore and retorted rudely, "Don't worry, even f we sleep in the bridge cave in the future, we won't come to you."

The police arrived very quickly because there was a police station near the hospital.

With the surveillance video as evidence, there was no need to waste their breath. Eliza was quickly taken away.

The Harper family no longer cared about her. They were even unwilling to look at her again.

As soon as Eliza left, the scene immediately became much quieter.

After some hesitation, Queeny gently clenched her fingers and walked toward Trevor with her phone.

She said, "H-Hello. Can I add you as a friend on WhatsApp?"

In the face of this sudden request, Trevor was stunned. A trace of doubt flashed across his clear pupils.

The tips of Queeny's ears were already red. She dared not look at him and could only bite the bullet. "Although this was an accident, I was the one who hit you with my car after all. You were discharged so quickly. I'm worried that there might be problems in the future. Add me on WhatsApp. You can look for me anytime if there are any sequelae."

This reason sounded reasonable. Trevor didn't think much about it. He took out his phone and added her to his contact list. The two of them exchanged names.

After knowing her name, Trevor changed the remarks for her on his phone and said politely, "Miss Yeats, thank you for sending me to the hospital."

"You... You're welcome." After exchanging contact information, Queeny bade farewell and left.

The Harper family was no longer in the mood to eat roast meat. After casually buying food by the roadside, the family returned to their rented house.

Only then did Trevor know that his parents had fallen out with Layla.

It didn't matter to him where he lived as long as his parents and family were by his side.

However, when facing Audrey, he felt a little awkward...

It wasn't that he couldn't accept his biological sister, but he felt too ashamed to face her.

He secretly came to look for Eliza behind his family's back because he still had a trace of hope for her. He felt that what his parents said must be a misunderstanding.

Unexpectedly, not only did Eliza admit everything, but she also almost killed him.

However, not only did his biological sister, whom he owed to, not blame him, but she also protected his parents when he was not there, preventing them from being bullied by his grandmother.

The television was on at home, but no one was watching it seriously. Everyone was busy chatting with Audrey and making her happy.

Miles was already familiar with her. The two of them sat side by side, smiling at each other. Jessica was peeling fruit and bringing it to Audrey's

mouth with a stick.

Trevor watched from the side and couldn't help but feel sad like he was an outsider.

However, he did not blame Audrey for ignoring him. He had neglected her first, after all.

Thinking of this, Trevor did not want to fall behind. He immediately went out to buy a pile of s Audrey

nd drinks and placed them in front of

"Is this for me?" Audrey raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Trevor's expression was still a little unnatural. He was too embarrassed to face her and only whispered, "I don't know what you like to eat. You can choose what you like to eat."

Audrey was secretly delighted. She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Trevor. I like everything you give me."

Although she hadn't eaten these snacks for long to maintain her figure, she was happy, so she picked up a bag of chips and opened it to eat, not forgetting to share it with her family. Seeing that she was happy, Trevor smiled.

"It's good that you like it. I..." He hesitated and slowly took out a thumb-sized wooden carving from his pocket. "This is a little thing I carved myself. If you don't mind-

"Wow, what a cute little rabbit!" Audrey's eyes lit up the moment she saw the wooden carving.

This wooden rabbit was carved vividly.

Its eyes were also painted red, and every detail was handled perfectly.

"Is this also for me?" Audrey looked at Trevor expectantly.

Trevor immediately handed the rabbit over with both hands. "It's for you. If you like it, I'll carve others for you. I can't do anything else but this little craft.

Audrey held the little rabbit lovingly and said with sparkling eyes, "Thank you, Trevor. You're so amazing."

She knew that Trevor was introverted and sensitive. He was not good with words or expressions. She thought if someone could praise him often, it might make him more confident. Seeing that she liked it, Trevor was happy.

Since the siblings could get along well, the rest of the Harper family people naturally smiled.

Miles even deliberately played tricks at the side. He held his chest and said sadly, "Trevor is biased. He only makes it for Audrey and not me."

"Haven't I given you enough since you were young?" Trevor glared at Miles.

Miles immediately pretended to be hurt and leaned against Audrey for comfort.

The family was in harmony and laughter.

 

Chapter 127

On the other side.

At the entrance of the police station.

Dominic quickly walked in front with a livid face and an extremely frustrated expression.

Eliza chased after him in high heels. She bit her lip and called gently, "Dominic, wait for me...

Seeing that Dominic did not react, she raised her hand to cover her lower abdomen and repeated the same trick. "Oh! My stomach hurt..."

Dominic turned around and glanced at her coldly. He said sarcastically, "Why? Are you going to give birth soon? Do you want to go to the police station to recuperate before leaving?" Eliza's face turned pale. She pursed her lips and did not dare to speak. Her eyes turned red.

Dominic hated seeing her like this.

In the past, when he was in love with her, he would feel sorry when he saw her red eyes. His heart would ache and he would want to coax her.

But now, he only felt unlucky. 'How could she feel so aggrieved every day? She was the one who was stupid and did something wrong, causing me to come to the police station to rescue her.

At the thought of this, Dominic's expression turned even darker. He scolded coldly, "Put away your pitiful look. Don't cause trouble for me in the future."

Eliza immediately felt even more aggrieved.

She was already in trouble today. Faced with Dominic's condemnation and disdain, she could not help but say, "I was in trouble because of Audrey. She was the one who viciously set me up." Dominic sneered coldly. "Audrey is kind-hearted. Usually, she can't even bear to step on an ant. And you can be so ruthless to your former family. How can I not tell who's vicious between the two of you?" Eliza's eyes widened.

She was disgusted by Dominic's unhesitating favoritism. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling.

She asked, "Dominic, what do you mean?"

Eliza gripped her handbag tightly. The veins on her hand were bulging as she said coldly, "I'm your fiancee now. How dare you defend that bitch in front of me? Are you tired of me and want to get back together with her?"

'What's so good about that bitch? She's already married, but he is still thinking about her?' Eliza thought furiously.

Dominic did not deny his feelings. He frowned and said, "I've never liked you. There's no such thing as getting tired of you.

"Also, I've never said that I wanted to marry you. Don't call yourself my fiance in the future."

Eliza was stunned.

Her heart seemed to have been crushed by these few words.

She could not care less about being angry or jealous for a moment. She said with tears in her eyes, "I don't believe that you never liked me. Dominic, I must have done something wrong to make you unhappy. That's why you said that on purpose, right?" Dominic pursed his lips tightly, his eyes revealing impatience.

Eliza's heart tightened. Unwilling to give up, she said, "You like me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have missed the wedding with Audrey because I was unwell, and you wouldn't have gotten me pregnant with your child."

"Stop it!" Dominic didn't want to listen anymore. He suppressed the coldness in his eyes. "I'm just feeling refreshed about you for a moment. Which man would reject a woman who came knocking on his door?" Eliza was speechless. 'A woman who came knocking on his door... It turns out that I'm so unbearable and cheap in his heart.'

Dominic seemed to think that it was not hurtful enough. He said with a faint smile, "Although I did have sex with you, didn't I give you a card and buy you a bag afterward?

"It's just a game of adults. We've already given what we had and received what we wanted. Don't be so touched by yourself."

Dominic refused to admit that he was a scumbag.

He felt he did that because he couldn't resist Eliza's temptation, and Eliza was the source of all

'If she hadn't shamelessly pestered, I wouldn't have missed Audrey. With that thought in mind, Dominic hated and disliked Eliza even more. He didn't want to care about her anymore and left angrily. "Dominic... Dominic!" Eliza was unwilling to give up and tried to chase after him, but she was sprayed with exhaust fumes.

Eliza kicked the telephone pole by the roadside angrily.

'How can he leave me alone on the street? It's all Audrey's fault. If not for Audrey, the happiness I had painstakingly planned for so long would not have been in vain, Eliza thought.

In a flash, Eliza thought of the marriage that Layla mentioned, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes...

'Alright, since Dominic had hurt me so much for Audrey. Then no one will have a good time, Eliza thought with hatred. She wanted to show Dominic even if Audrey were to marry again, it would not be his turn.

 

Chapter 128

The next day, Audrey returned to work.

She took a day off and Albert was still complaining about it.

Audrey ignored his sarcastic mockery. She did not want to see him, so she took her documents and went home to work.

The mall project with Brightview Group had officially started. As Party B's representative, Audrey still had to supervise it at the construction site tomorrow. She didn't have the time to deal with Albert. After a busy day, Trevor called Audrey for dinner.

The Harper family's rented house was also close. Audrey was too lazy to cook alone, so she did not refuse.

After dinner, the family went to the nearby park for a walk.

Thinking that Audrey still had work the next day, they did not force her to stay and let her go back to rest early. Audrey returned to her and Alistair's house alone.

When she was with her parents and brothers, she felt lively and didn't feel lonely.

However, when she returned home and looked at the empty house, she suddenly felt unaccustomed.

Sighing, she put on her slippers and threw herself onto the soft sofa.

As soon as she sat down, the phone rang.

The moment she saw the caller ID, Audrey could not help but feel secretly happy.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly. She sat cross-legged and subconsciously wanted to answer the call.

However, just as the call was about to connect, she hesitated again.

She felt she shouldn't answer this call..

'Alistair has someone he likes. He came to me because the person he loved had passed away, Audrey thought.

She felt she shouldn't be addicted to it.

Only by keeping her heart would she not end up with a sad ending.

However, even though her mind was clear, she still could not control her heart.

She would unconsciously fall for it as long as Alistair said something nice.

She would blush and her heart would race because of his unintentional teasing.

She was afraid that one day, she would completely fall into the gentle cage Alistair made for her, and he would leave without hesitation. That would be too miserable...

Afraid that his voice would sway her again, Audrey did not pick up the call.

She only sent a message after the ringtone quieted down. [I'm about to sleep. We'll talk tomorrow if there's anything.]

In the empty top-floor office, Alistair instinctively frowned when he saw the message from Audrey.

He knew her routine. It was only eight o'clock in the evening. She wouldn't go to bed so early.

'So, she didn't want to answer my call and found an excuse to say she was already asleep... Alistair thought.

He wondered if she was still angry with him for hiding his identity.

However, two days ago, she took the initiative to call to show concern for Sunny. She did not seem to be angry.

'Did I do something wrong again to make her unhappy?' Alistair's heart was in a mess. No matter how he thought about it, he could not understand why Audrey was angry.

This was more difficult for him than negotiating a business worth tens of billions of dollars.

Just as he was having a headache, there was a knock on the door.

It was his assistant.

"Come in," said Alistair.

Upon hearing Alistair's cold voice, Michael Cooper took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

"Mr. Hayes." Before he spoke, the smile on his face was flawless. "I've already obtained the contact information of the world's most famous child psychologist, Ausline, but the other party's phone hasn't been turned on. I can't locate her exact location for the time being." Alistair's brows were already tightly knitted. His slender fingers gently tapped on the table, and he said with a dignified aura, "Continue to think of a way. We have to contact the other party as soon as possible. Sunny can't wait long." "Okay." Michael nodded.

"It's getting late. You can get off work."

Michael heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. The smile on his face widened. "Alright."

Today, he finally did not have to stand his girlfriend up anymore. If he stood her up again, he would be dumped.

""Wait," Alistair suddenly said.

Michael had just turned around when he heard his boss's voice coming from behind.

Thinking of his monthly salary of 250 thousand dollars, he turned around with a smile. "Mr. Hayes, do you have any other instructions?"

"It's not about work." Alistair supported his chin with one hand and asked with interest, "I heard you have a girlfriend whom you've been dating for six years."

Michael was surprised. 'What did that mean? Dating shouldn't be against the company's rules, right?'

Alistair had never asked him about private matters in the past, and Michael had never affected his work because of his relationship all these years.

Michael's heart was beating wildly. He was about to explain when Alistair continued, "Since you've dated for so long, you should be more experienced. How do you usually coax your girlfriend when she's angry?" Michael was shocked.

 

Chapter 129

"Mr. Hayes, do you still need to coax people?" Michael's tone was filled with surprise and horror.

'Oh my god, who is so bold as to let the dignified Mr. Hayes put down his arrogance to coax her... Michael thought.

Alistair raised his eyebrows and glanced at him. "Do you know how to do it or not?"

Michael shuddered and nodded humbly. "I... I know a little."

Alistair smiled in satisfaction and pointed at the office chair opposite him. "Sit. I'll triple your overtime pay for the time you're going to waste. I'll pay you personally."

Michael's eyes lit up and he sat down obediently. "Thank you, Mr. Hayes."

At the same time, he apologized to his girlfriend in his heart. 'I'm sorry, baby. It's not that triple overtime pay is too tempting, but it's rare to have the chance to know Mr. Hayes's gossip. It is priceless. The next day, Audrey went to the company with two dark circles under her eyes.

When her colleagues saw her like this, they could not help but discuss it privately in the pantry.

"Did you see that? Ms. Rhodes came here with dark circles under her eyes again today." She clicked her tongue before continuing, "How intense the sex must be!"

"You guys are too dirty..."

Someone laughed. For a moment, the few of them seemed to have found a common topic and started chatting and laughing.

"Ms. Rhodes has been ravaged to this extent. One look and you can tell that her husband is amazing in th

"He's so handsome and 'capable'. Ms. Rhodes's good fortune is enviable."

Audrey happened to pass by the door and was speechless.

aspect."

She sighed, 'Gosh. Each of these young ladies in the company usually looks more serious than the other. Why are they chatting so casually in private?' She also wondered how this rumor came about.

She slept alone every day. She didn't know why they said she was having fun every night and making out until dawn.

'Rumors can kill people, Audrey thought.

However, Audrey could not help but recall how Alistair almost succeeded last time.

Alistair held back even at that moment.

'Who would believe that a couple who had been married for more than a month had yet to have sex?' Thinking of this, Audrey felt even more depressed. Just as she entered the office with her emotions, there was a knock on the door.

After hearing Audrey's reply, Emily entered the office with a blue folder.

"Audrey, you asked me to check Ethan's information, I've found a clue." As she spoke, she walked to the front of the office and handed the document to Audrey.

Audrey's eyes darkened. She instantly restrained her emotions and flipped through the information.

Emily explained seriously, "Ethan's full name is Ethan Wright. He's doing well in the underworld and has connections with some officials. He does have some status in Riverdale.

"I also found out that his youngest son, Noah Wright, had three wives, but all three of them died not long after they got married.

"And the strangest thing is that the family of each of his wives received a generous sum of money from Ethan after their daughter died.

"Noah even said to the public that he would support the elders of these families for the rest of their lives. Therefore, even though he has the reputation of jinxing his wife, there are still people willing to marry their daughters over."

Audrey's eyes narrowed as she stared at the report on the information.

Noah's three wives had all died in accidents.

Among them, the one who lasted the longest was his second wife. She lived for seven months after marrying him, and the other two died about three months later.

Such a coincidence couldn't happen in this world.

Audrey knew there must be some unknown reason.

Emily watched from the side as Audrey squeezed the document in her hand until it deformed.

'How did Ethan provoke Audrey to make her so angry? Audrey's expression was not so dark even when she found out Dominic had run away from the marriage, Emily thought.

Emily rolled her eyes and reminded her in a low voice, "Audrey. Ethan's way to wealth is not legal. His methods are even more despicable and low-level. You have to be careful." "I know. Thank you, Emily."

"You're welcome." Emily waved her hand and pointed at the door. "Then I'll go out and get busy first."

Audrey-nodded slightly.

The door closed, and Audrey slowly looked out the window. Black clouds swept across the sky, and a violent wind raged.

From the looks of it, a storm was about to arrive...

 

Chapter 130

After lunch at the company, Audrey i

mpany, Audrey took Emily to Brightvi

Emily to Brightview Group's project site to see

to see the constriction progress.

П

When the foreman learned she had come personally, he did not dare to be negligent. Not only did he come personally to accompany her, but he also called Logan.

"Ms. Rhodes, it's a mess here. Be careful not to bump into anything" The foreman walked in front, occasionally turning around to remind Audrey to watch her steps. The contractor Brightview Group found this time

e had also worked with Audrey several times. They were all old acquaintances.

Without standing on ceremony, Audrey said, "I used to inspect construction sites often. Nothing will happen. Go ahead and do your job, Martin.- You don't have in accompany us. We're just looking around" Martin Wesley originally had a lot of things to do. Moreover, he knew that Audrey was capable and would not

ot cause trouble, so he did not follow her

After he left. Audrey adjusted the yellow helmet on her head and walked around with Emily,

Many infrastructures on the construction site had already been built and were starting to take shape.

They even went to the warehouse to look at the materials. They had bought these according to the standard and met the contract's requirements.

After walking around for more than three hours and finalizing many details with Martin, it was almost time to go back.

Audrey handed the collected information to Emily and took off her helmet to give it to her.

She said, "Emily, want for me at the construction site's exit. I'll go to the underground floor to get my car

"Alright, Audrey, be careful"

Audrey nodded.

After watching her walk away, Emily returned their helmets to the people at the construction site and ran to the exit with the documents.

They came late. The parking spaces near the construction site were full in the afternoon when they arrived,

Audrey's car was parked quite far away. After entering the dark basement, she still had to take two big detours.

The sound of high heels tapping was especially crisp and obvious in the empty underground garage. Audrey felt her way forward alone. When she saw the car, she took out the key from her bag and unlocked it with

a swoosh, the sound of the car door unlocking was accompanied by two flashing headlights.

The moment the lights came on, Audrey suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing across the opposite wall. Someone was behind her.

She turned around and threw her bag at him in the blink of an eye.

However, the other party reacted faster and grabbed the back of her neck before she could raise her arm.

Then, a white handkerchief quickly covered her mouth and nose.

Audrey smelled an extremely pungent smell

Before she could react, her body went limp and her vision fell into darkness.

After some unknown time, she opened her eyes in a daze

with an obscene smile staring straight at her.

distorted

The distance between the two of them was less than half an inchi.

Under such close sensory impact, the man's bean face looked especially ferocious and d

Audrey's heart almost stopped beating....

She wanted to scream, but she accidentally bit her tongue. The pain made tears well up in the corners of her eyes.

After being slow for a second, she struggled with all her might, only to find that her hands and feet were tied up and she was paralyzed on a bed.

The room was dark. Only a little light shone in through the palm-sized skylight. Audrey could barely see the situation inside.

As she struggled, she saw a huge display cabinet that covered an entire wall. All kinds of torture tools hung in the transparent glass cabinet, emitting a cold light.

No, to be precise, these were not torture devices, but... adults' sex toys,

However, they were all made into torture instruments

Audrey felt her stomach churning. In just a few seconds, she had experienced countless shocks. It was so stimulating that her mouth felt sour and she wanted to vomit. When the skinny man beside her saw that she had woken up, a hint of su

surprise appeared in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. He reached out to touch Audrey's face.

"Little beauty, you're finally awake." As he spoke, he even swallowed his saliva.

His rough fingertips brushed across Audrey's cheek. Audrey was so disgusted that her entire body trembled. She wanted to dodge, but she could not

move.

"Don't touch me!" Audrey struggled against him.

However, the more she resisted, the more excited the man became.

His hand slowly moved down and stopped at her slender waist. He pinched her hard.

"Your figure is perfect, as expected of the wife I bought for 100 thousand dollars. It's worth it."
