Chapter 27
Audrey was frozen when she heard Kylee's words. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
It took her a while to react.
"Grandma, what did you say? You want me to live into your house?"
Kylee frowned, "What are you saying? That's your home!"
"No, Grandma, I'm fine. I can take care of myself!"
In order to prove she was fine, Audrey purposely swung her arm. As a result, just as she swung, the pain instantly came to her. She quickly withdrew her arm as her brows were tightly knitted.
Kylee grabbed her arm and appeared to be worried, "You stupid girl, you're injured. Don't move."
Audrey was anxious, "Grandma, I'm really fine. I can take care of myself."
Kylee had always been convinced by Audrey, but this time, she was so determined that Audrey couldn't change her mind whatever she said.
"Elliana, I know that you want to be independent, but now that you're injured, you don't have to be strong." Kylee appeared to be serious, "If you don't come back with me, I'll call your boss to fire you and ask your landlady to kick you out."
Audrey bit back her words.
She could find no excuse.
If she was kicked out of the law firm and this apartment, all her efforts would be in vain.
She turned to Bryson.
Luckily, Bryson was willing to help.
He tried to persuade Kylee, "Grandma, since she wants to stay here alone, just let her go. She can take care of herself."
Kylee was infuriated. She jumped up, pointed at Kylee's nose and scolded.
"You brat, are you so intolerant of your sister? If you don't agree to your sister moving back, I will disown you!" Her words were filled with anger.
Audrey was awkward.
It was just that she didn't want to move to Cordova Mansion. Why would Kylee break off the relationship with Bryson?
Audrey felt helpless.
"Grandma, it's not that Bryson doesn't want me to move back. It's that I myself don't want to move back...."
"If you don't want to, I'll call your boss now!"
Audrey was lost for words.
Finally, under Kylee's coercion and temptation, Audrey had no choice but to pack up a few sets of clothes and some materials and books, then followed Kylee back to the Cordova Mansion.
She thought to herself that the wound would heal in at most a week, and staying there for only a week should not be a big deal.
In the end, Audrey lived into the guest room that she had stayed in before.
...
The next morning, before Audrey got up, she heard a knock.
In a daze, she got out of the quilt and took a look.
Suddenly, she realized that she was in the Cordova Mansion, and the knocking was getting louder.
Someone knocked on her door so early in the morning. Was there anything wrong?
She hurried to open the door.
She quickly asked as she swung the door open.
"What's wrong? Did anything...?"
Before Audrey could finish her words, she realized that it was Bryson who was standing outside in a suit.
And his look seemed meaningful.
Audrey was in pajamas, and ... it was the one that she wore when Bryson and Kylee first came to her apartment.
Embarrassment seized her.
She quickly hid herself behind the door and thrust her head out awkwardly.
"Mr. Bryson, what's the matter? It's so early."
Bryson reminded her, "Are you going to work today?"
"Yes!" She was a good worker and had never been late ever since she started her internship.
Why did Bryson ask such a question?
"It's already half past seven."
Audrey was still somewhat sleepy and didn't realize what Bryson mean.
Three seconds later, she widened her eyes.
"What did you say? It's half past seven?"
"Yes!" Bryson said calmly, "Since it's already half past seven, Grandma asked me to come over and ask you if you're going to work today."
Audrey always went to work at half past eight.
She quickly grabbed Bryson's wrist and glanced at the watch. It was indeed half past seven.
"Shit, it's indeed half past seven. Thank you, Mr. Bryson."
With that, she quickly closed the door and began to change her clothes.
But she felt puzzled.
Although the alarm clock in her apartment was not brought over, she had set the alarm on her phone. And she remembered that her phone was full of electricity last night.
She finished changing her clothes and picked up her phone. Instantly, she got a nasty shock.
She did set the alarm for seven o'clock, but somehow, she had set it for seven p. m.!
"Shit!" She scolded again and hurried out.
When she ran downstairs, Bryson and Kylee were having breakfast.
Before Audrey waved goodbye with them, Kylee said.
"Elliana, hurry up and have breakfast with us. Bryson will take you to the law firm after breakfast."
"No, Grandma, I...."
Bryson interrupted her, "The place I have to go this morning is not far from your firm. I can drop you off."
Audrey thought for a moment.
It didn't matter to get a lift. And it would greatly save her time.
"Alright!"
Only then did Audrey relax and sit down.
During the breakfast, Kylee suddenly asked Bryson.
"Bryson, have you contacted Simon?"
"No!"
"He said that he was having a football match. But I haven't heard of him ever since that match. His phone was turned off. And his parents weren't at home recently. I am a little worried about him. His grandparents don't live in Peace City. And he didn't come here. Can he take good care of himself?"
"I'll have someone investigate him."
"Let me know when you make it."
"Alright!"
...
In the morning, Audrey went to the company to get the materials, and then went to meet her client.
The new client is the head of a KTV.
It was just a simple legal consultation.
Audrey discussed with the other party about the request.
The client met Audrey in a private room. After finishing the discussion, Audrey walked out of the room.
Someone had led her in when she came. But now that the discussion was over, she didn't need someone to lead her since she had known the way.
However, before she walked out of the KTV, she saw a few gangsters surrounding a youth when she passed a private room, the door of which was open.
And that youth was none other than Audrey's nephew, Simon.
The corner of Simon's mouth was bleeding, and his right cheek was bruised. He looked a little miserable.
One of the gangsters pointed at Simon and spat, "Apologize, otherwise, I'll kill you."
Audrey was silent.
It had nothing to do with her. And she had wanted to overlook them.
But if something happened to Simon, Kylee would probably not be able to withstand the blow.
After a moment of hesitation, Audrey turned around and walked in.
"What are you doing to my nephew?"
