Henley frowned.
“What are you talking about?”
He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and pretended to be indifferent.
ALL he wanted to do was help and support Audrey.
At this moment, he could only help her in this way. But he didn’t want her to know what he was doing for her.
Cara looked at Henley and shook her head. She knew she couldn’t get him to admit his feelings for Audrey, so she didn’t insist anymore.
She and Henley grew up together, so she knew him well. He Looked gentle on the surface, but he was a sophisticated man.
And he was also resolute. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it.
Cara didn’t dwell on the matter anymore. It doesn’t matter if Henley liked Audrey. As long as he didn’t have an affair with Audrey, she decided to just let him be.
After leaving the Alpire Studio, Audrey went directly to the hospital to visit her grandmother. She couldn’t wait to tell Joanna the good news.
As expected, her grandmother was overjoyed at this and even had a good appetite during lunch.
When Audrey returned to Serenity Villas, she packed her things. She wanted to move back to Crystal Bay because she thought it was more convenient for her. There was a subway station near her apartment, so it was easier for her to commute to Alpire Studio.
Besides, she only stayed in Serenity Villas to recuperate. Now that she had recovered, she had no reason to stay there any longer.
Audrey thought Cornell probably didn’t want to see her again. He must be glad to know that she had moved out.
Audrey had just finished packing when Luciana arrived at Serenity Villas. Audrey didn’t expect this sudden visit. She hurriedly stuffed her suitcase into the cabinet in a panic.
Luciana waited for Audrey in the living room. As soon as she saw Audrey going down the stairs, she stood up and walked toward Audrey.
She pulled Audrey affectionately and said kindly, “Audrey, today is my grandpa’s birthday. Let’s go to the party together.”
Luciana’s grandfather was Cornell’s great-grandfather.
Audrey was so startled that she hurriedly waved her hand.
“Luciana, it’s not appropriate for me to go there.”
Cornell was the great-grandson of the celebrant, so he must be there, too. After what happened between them last night, she was a Little afraid to see him.
Besides, they were getting divorced soon. So, it was inappropriate for her to appear on such an occasion and meet his elders.
Luciana must have understood what Audrey meant. She smiled and said, “I have told my grandpa about you, and he is very eager to see you in person. Do you have the heart to let him down?”
Audrey was still hesitant.
“But…”
Knowing what Audrey was worried about, Luciana immediately interrupted, “I know you are not ready to meet the elders of the Clement family yet. Don’t worry. Other people don’t know about your real identity. What they know is that you are Kyler’s goddaughter.”
Audrey didn’t want to make things difficult for Luciana, so she finally agreed.
Luciana was very happy. She took Audrey out to select a dress for the dinner party.
When Audrey came out of the fitting room, Luciana was stunned. The light purple dress she chose fit Audrey perfectly. Audrey was as beautiful as a fairy from the deepest part of the forest.
Audrey was so dazzling that Luciana couldn’t help exclaiming, “Audrey, you look gorgeous!”
Actually, Luciana had a secret plan. She thought of making her stupid son Cornell jealous tonight.
People said that jealousy was the best catalyst for a couple. Luciana wanted Cornell to recognize his affection for Audrey and treat her well. Therefore, Luciana decided to give them a push.
Soon, the car pulled over in front of Luciana’s grandfather’s villa.
Tonight, the parking lot was full of luxurious cars. The villa looked magnificent, and many guests from rich and powerful families came.
The villa was bustling with people.
The Lloyd family was also very prosperous during the time of Luciana’s grandfather. They were one of the most powerful families.
But when Luciana’s father took over the family, the Lloyd family lost momentum.
Now, the only pride of the Lloyd family was Luciana’s son, Cornell.
Since Cornell was Luciana’s son, the celebrities in Ardlens were willing to attend the party.
As soon as they entered the villa, Luciana took Audrey to the second floor to meet Luciana’s grandfather.
Today was Luciana’s grandfather’s hundredth birthday, and the old man was in good spirits.
Audrey greeted him with a happy birthday and wished him well. He was so happy that he immediately gave her a jade pendant as a gift.
It was an exquisite jade pendant. Audrey didn’t dare to accept it, but Luciana insisted on letting her take it.
When it came to Luciana, Audrey really didn’t have the heart to refuse.
Then, Luciana and her grandfather talked about some family matters.
Audrey thought it was inappropriate for her to stay in the room, so she found an excuse to go out and wait outside.
She didn’t wander around. She just waited in the hall on the second floor.
The hall overlooked the banquet hall on the first floor. Audrey stood in an inconspicuous corner and watched the scene downstairs.
Then Audrey noticed two women in gaudy clothes chatting near the railing not far away.
“I heard that Cornell of the Clement family is coming tonight. I haven’t seen him yet, and I’m curious what he looks like. But they say he is gorgeously attractive. I must seize the opportunity to get close to him.”
“Forget about it. You won’t get any chance. I heard he has been with Cecilia of the Murray family for many years. Cecilia has just returned from abroad recently. There have been tons of rumors about the two of them.”
“That sickly daughter of the Murray family? I really don’t understand why Cornell likes her. I don’t know how she managed to seduce Cornell all these years.”
“Cecilia is Cornell’s first love. In fact, while Cecilia was abroad, he never had relationships with other women. He really waited for her to come back.”
“Oh, I’m so envious of Cecilia. I am willing to do anything just to marry Cornell.”
“Ha-ha! You wish! Every woman dreams of becoming Cornell’s wife.”
The two women chatted as if no one was around. They had no idea that Audrey heard everything, and she was now a bit upset.
Every woman dreamed of becoming Cornell’s wife? She begged to disagree. Maybe she was different from other women because she didn’t want to be Cornell’s wife now.
After all, she could never share the man she loved with other women.
Audrey didn’t want to hear their conversation anymore, so she turned around and was about to leave. But she didn’t expect to bump into someone she didn’t want to see.
Tessa wore a turquoise evening dress, which looked good on her.
Since the birthday party was held by the Lloyd family, it was expected that the guests were from rich and powerful families. So Tessa’s mother urged her to attend the party and seize the opportunity to choose a good man for herself.
When Tessa saw Audrey, she didn’t seem to be surprised at all. She approached Audrey and sneered, “”Audrey, you’re really something.
After all, as Cornell’s wife, your place is the dream of other females.”
Actually, Tessa was still shocked when she learned about Audrey’s being Cornell’s wife. She found it unacceptable. When she was oblivious to this fact and tried to make things difficult for Audrey, she was dragged out of the Clement residence, which was embarrassing.
Every time she remembered it, she wished she could tear Audrey apart.
Tessa had no choice but to put up with it. As long as Audrey was married to Cornell, she could not hurt Audrey.
But it didn’t mean that others couldn’t do so.
A hint of viciousness flashed through Tessa’s eyes. She had been holding grudges against Audrey. Now was the time to settle accounts with Audrey.
Audrey couldn’t help frowning upon hearing Tessa’s words. But she suppressed the urge to retort. Today was a big day for the Lloyd family, and she didn’t want to ruin it by making trouble. So, she decided to make a detour to avoid Tessa.
However, Tessa blocked her way. Obviously, Tessa didn’t intend to let Audrey go that easily.
Then Tessa continued, “Don’t think that I don’t know the truth. You only seduced Cornell, so he was forced to marry you. But he doesn’t love you at all. His heart only belongs to Cecilia. Forced love does not last. If you still have any shame left, divorce Cornell as soon as possible. Let him and Cecilia have a happy ending.”
Audrey didn’t want to argue with Tessa. But it didn’t mean she would just let Tessa insult her.
She chuckled softly and said, “Why should I? I have done many things for this marriage. As long as I am happy, I think it’s all worth it.”
Audrey indeed had a great time in the past two years. Things only changed when she found out the truth about Cornell’s tenderness.
Audrey’s words pissed Tessa off. Tessa pointed at Audrey’s nose and shouted, “You, shameless bitch! Who do you think you are? You can’t even hold a candle to Cecilia.”
“Oh, really?” Audrey sneered indifferently.
