Ryan couldn't sleep all night. He had a tired look on his handsome face, and his
eyes were red and
bloodshot.
“Is Ms. Audrey alright?”
Julian had worked with Ryan for many years. He knew everything that Ryan
knew about Audrey. This was the first time he had seen her so emotionally
broken.
Ryan didn’t answer. He just handed the tablet back to Julian. “You've worked
hard. Eat something and get some rest.”
After calling Diego to explain Audrey's situation, Ryan carried his clothes into the

When Audrey opened her swollen eyes, everything seemed blurry. She grasped
her head, feeling like it was about to explode.
Everything felt like a dream. A dream where ... Aunt Anne was gone.
When she realized she was in the master bedroom of Ryan's villa in Sheysea
City, she finally remembered. Aunt Anne really was gone.
She blinked softly, and tears streamed from her swollen eyes. She quickly wiped
them away with her hand and got up. She checked under the bed for her shoes.
Ryan was right. Harper was too young. If she couldn't be strong during this
difficult time, Harper would be terrified. She was Harper's older sister. She had to
take care of Anne’s funeral arrangements and plan for Harper's future.
After searching for a long time, she couldn't find her shoes.
“You're awake.”
Ryan had dozed off on the sofa, but woke up to the sounds of Audrey moving
around the room. He walked to the bedroom door and handed Audrey the
slippers Jess had brought up before bed.
Audrey clutched the bedsheet tightly with both hands. She had mixed feelings

She had told Ryan that she didn’t want them to have any further contact in the
future. As Ryan was an adopted son of the Lambert family, she was afraid people
would notice and learn about her birth mother’s past.
Gossip had the power to drive a person insane. She didn't want her birth mother
to go through that again.
But if Ryan hadn't shown up at her most helpless and distraught moment, she
might have considered. a tragic end with Nathan when she learned that he had
pushed Anne.
“I'm sorry.” Audrey sobbed as she apologized to Ryan. She closed her eyes. Her
tears fell like broken

strings. “I'm causing you trouble again.”
“Audrey, you're a relative from my original family. It's only natural for me to step
in, and it won't affect the Lambert family.”

Ryan crouched down and helped Audrey put on her shoes. He then looked up at
her. “You don’t need
to avoid me.”
But they had slept together...
It was her fault. She had persuaded him to sleep with her when she was
drugged.

Harper was worried that Anne hadn't replied to her messages or answered any of
her calls.
After calming herself down, Audrey called Harper. The phone connected quickly.
