Chapter 19
Audrey wasn't sure if the car in front of her belonged to Bryson because she hadn't paid attention to his license plate number when she saw him before.
However, this was a five-star restaurant. Many rich families and nobles came here for meals. There were also many luxury cars in the parking lot.
Perhaps this Bentley Mulsanne belonged to other guests who had come for dinner.
After arriving at the hotel, Audrey gave Jasmine a call.
She confirmed that Jasmine had landed safely and the person she asked for help had picked up Jasmine and led her to a safe place. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Jasmine was very grateful to Audrey.
Jasmine had planned to go abroad because of Tom, now Audrey's coming to her for evidence justified this plan even more.
At dinner, the people from the Square Law Firm unanimously expressed their congratulations to Audrey.
Seeing Audrey's complacent expression, someone was getting more and more envious. The flames of envy were about to ignite her.
Audrey noticed how Liana looked at her.
She thought that after a long time of working together and helping each other, their relationship would gradually get better.
During the dinner, Audrey stood up and went to the bathroom.
After Audrey got up and left, Liana's gaze changed slightly. Then, she also got up and left the private room on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
While Audrey was washing her hands, Liana walked in from outside the bathroom.
Seeing Liana, Audrey was slightly stunned for a moment and politely called out, "Hello, Liana."
Liana glared at Audrey's beautiful face with hatred.
"Well, you're complacent now, right?" Liana said coldly.
Audrey frowned.
"Liana, if you are angry because I hijacked your client, I apologize!"
"Apologize?" Liana sneered, "I don't need your apology. Besides, you have won the lawsuit and got the favor with Mr. Steele. How dare I accept your apology?"
Audrey looked somewhat speechless.
"Liana, I'm afraid you've misunderstood."
"What did I misunderstand?" Liana snorted coldly, "Didn't you get the evidence in advance and take the lawsuit from me to show off on purpose?"
Audrey knew that no matter how she explained it, Liana couldn't calm down.
After all, she indeed robbed the lawsuit from her.
"But I didn't mean it. I have my reason."
"Your reason?"
"Audrey Koch, we're at daggers drawn from now on."
Audrey said nothing.
She took a deep breath as she saw Liana leaving the bathroom angrily.
She created an enemy shortly after she had returned.
However, the most important thing was that the Four Seasons Group was attacked and would probably not be able to recover in a short period.
She came out of the bathroom and was ready to go back to her private room.
She hesitated in front of the door of a private room because she was a little dizzy after drinking some wine tonight.
'Is it the right room? 1806, I think it is.'
However, she vaguely felt that it wasn't this room.
The influence of the wine urged her to open the door.
As soon as she walked in, she discovered that this private room was filled with people she didn't know.
She found nearly half of these people were regular faces in financial magazines.
She panicked and then hurriedly nodded to apologize.
"Sorry, I went to the wrong room."
Just as she was about to retreat, a hand quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her.
"Miss, since you're here, don't rush off."
The person holding her was Jaden Hughes, the president of the Gold Group. He had a fatty face and a bulging belly. His entire figure was short and round.
Audrey subconsciously wanted to shake off his hand, but he held her hand tightly. She wanted to kick him away, but thinking of his status, she could not get angry.
None of the people present were easy to mess with.
Seeing Audrey looked hesitant after struggling, Jaden thought that she was pretending to be reserved, so he took the opportunity to hug her waist.
However, his hand had just landed on Audrey when one hand suddenly appeared and pulled her over. In the next second, Audrey fell into a hard chest.
'Oh, my God! I met another bad guy just after getting rid of one.'
Before Audrey could react, she heard Jaden's voice with surprise.
"Mr. Bryson, why are you here?"
Audrey looked up in surprise and saw a familiar face. From her point of view, she saw Bryson's cold profile. His entire body emitted the pressure of a superior, forcing everyone present to fall silent.
He held her wrist with great strength, so she felt a little pain. She wanted to shake off his hand, but his strength was too great and expression too terrifying, so she stopped struggling.
However, with Bryson around, Audrey felt a sense of relief.
Bryson only took a glance at Jaden.
Then he looked at Audrey and said in a deep voice filled with dense reproach, "How could you return to the wrong room after going to the bathroom?"
Audrey immediately took a hint. She knew that Bryson was helping her out.
She hurriedly said, "Well, because I drank some wine and felt a little dizzy, I misjudged the room number."
Jaden trembled. He didn't expect that he had touched Bryson's woman.
"Leave here right now!" Bryson lowered his voice and scolded softly.
Audrey waved her hand to signal to him.
He had to unleash her hand before she could leave.
Only then did he let go of Audrey's wrist.
After that, Audrey immediately left the room.
After Audrey left, Bryson stayed in the private room and said a few words before coming out.
Audrey was waiting not far away. When she saw Bryson come out, she walked over to him.
"Mr. Bryson, thank you for helping me out just now!" If it hadn't been for Bryson, she would have had a hard time escaping today. She would have been assaulted.
Bryson still looked angry.
"How could you go to the wrong private room?" If he hadn't come out to pick up the phone and walked over in time after seeing her go to the wrong room, she would have been taken advantage of.
Audrey smiled with embarrassment, looking down guiltily like a child who had done something wrong.
"Well, this is just a misunderstanding."
"Will you go to the wrong room next time?"
Audrey didn't answer.
'He has gone too far. He has insulted my intelligence. How can I make such a stupid mistake? Though it is indeed a stupid mistake this time.'
"Anyway, thank you, Mr. Bryson. I'm going back to my private room now."
Just as Audrey was about to leave, Bryson faintly said,
"Did I say you can leave?"
