Chapter 32
Audrey's social media was flooded with vicious private messages.
She was derisively called the spawn of a rapist and the lowly offspring of human
traffickers.
As Nathan had predicted, the show's producers, true to form, were set to
maximize the buzz and heat in the upcoming episode. Audrey was about to find
herself thrust into the eye of the storm.
Forewarned and prepared for this outcome, Audrey almost wished for an even
more heated discussion. The more attention the next episode garnered, the
easier it would be for her to execute her
plans.
After a calming bath, she was about to turn off the lights and settle into bed when
her phone vibrated.
It was a call from Anne.
“Aunt Anne,” she greeted.
“Audrey, it's me.” Hugo's voice came through on the other end of the line, bearing
unwelcome news. Aunt Anne had an accident.”
A chill ran down Audrey's spine.
Tossing aside the covers, she swiftly turned the lights on and pulled on her
clothes. Her voice quivered uncontrollably as she asked, “What... what do you
mean Aunt Anne had an accident?”
“She’s been in a car crash at the hospital my sister is at."

“But wasn’t Aunt Anne supposed to have returned home? Why is she still in
Sheysea?” Audrey's voice rose with confusion and concern.
Just yesterday afternoon, Anne had called her to say she was home safe. She
had even mentioned how well she was doing.
The sudden turn of events was baffling.
“I'm not sure of the details. You should come to the hospital,” Hugo advised,
unaware that Audrey
had already left Sheysea.
“I'm on my way! Please take care of Aunt Anne,” Audrey said before hanging up.
Her hands trembled as she changed. She tried to remain calm. She knew panic
led to mistakes.
She rushed to the airport and caught the first flight back to Sheysea.
In the Lambert family’s home in the capital, Audrey's biological grandfather sat in
his study.
He sported glasses, and his silver hair was combed to perfection. The
septuagenarian wore a brown cashmere cardigan over his shirt. His posture
radiated refined, subdued elegance.
“How was your meeting with the Shaw daughter in Sheyses? You didn't have
time to see her before,” George inquired, lifting his glass
Ryan, poised and dignified, sipped the brown liquor. His every move radiated an
air of haughty grace. “Ms. Shaw is ambitious. She's a good ally for marriage, but
perhaps too strong willed to fit into the Lambert family as a daughter in law,” he
commented indifferently.
“in the end, you're still wishing for that child to return to the Lambert family,”
George mused casually. He played with the glass idly
“How is she doing?

Ryan didn't expect George would be so informed about Audrey's plight.
“Sometimes, being too empathetic and moral can lead to suffering,” he said
slowly.
