Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
By the time Audrey was moved to Charlotte’s ward, it was already ten in the evening.
Audrey didn’t say a word. She only looked at the ceiling in a daze, as if she was thinking about something.
Anthea had to stay behind to accompany Audrey no matter what. Gary had no choice but to instruct her to take care of herself before leaving with Abner.
Eric sat by the bed with red eyes.
After a long while, Eric’s phone suddenly vibrated. He clicked on it and realized that Audrey had sent him a message.
Audrey: Second Brother, don’t blame yourself. What happened today has nothing to do with you.
Eric sent a guilty emoji to Audrey.
Audrey: “Second Brother, I’m going to get angry if you continue like this.”
Eric: You don’t know how upset I am. That car was driving straight towards you right under my nose!
Audrey: I didn’t expect this either. When that person called me, he said that a friend had ordered food for me. I thought that you had ordered it for me, so I
went downstairs.
Eric was shocked.
Eric: Who is so vicious to harm you like this? I guess it’s the same person who harmed Charlotte.
Audrey: I think so too.
Eric: Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help Big Brother find the culprit who harmed you.
Although the person who had hit Charlotte was a drunk driver, Eric was certain that everything had been premeditated when he linked it to what Audrey had encountered today.
There must be someone behind all of this !
Audrey sighed.
At this moment, a message popped up on the top of her phone: Elena has agreed to your friend request.
Without waiting for Elena to say anything, Audrey took a photo of her leg in a cast and sent it to Elena.
At this moment, Elena was having dinner at home. When she saw Audrey’s photo. she immediately cried Oilt in shock. “Oh my god! What’s going on?”
Elena’s parents looked at their daughter in confusion. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Elena immediately smiled awkwardly. “It’s nothing, Dad, Mom. I’m full. Take your time.”
With that, Elena went upstairs.
When she returned to her room, Elena immediately called Audrey.
Audrey quickly picked up.
“God!” Elena shouted in surprise. “What’s wrong? We haven’t seen each other for a few hours. How did you become like this?”
Audrey glanced at Anthea and Eric beside her before saying calmly, “I got into a car accident.”
A car accident!
Elena’s eyes widened. “What? A car accident? Really? Are you kidding me?”
Audrey sneered. “Do you think I need to lie to you? I’m not that bored.” Elena was silent for a while before saying, “So I was right…”
Audrey could immediately tell that something was wrong with Elena’s words. “Do you know something?”
After all, Elena had said something to Audrey for no reason when she was about to leave the set today.
Elena thought for a moment and decided to say, “As you know, my family has a good relationship with Frank’s family. A few days ago, I was a guest at Frank’s house and accidentally overheard his brother, Mort, talking to someone on the phone…”
Audrey’s expression changed. “And then?”
“Then…” Elena thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t want to eavesdrop, but… when Mort was on the phone with someone else, I think I heard him mention your sister’s name?”
What? Audrey immediately became vigilant. “What did he say?”
Elena shook her head. “What he said was very vague. I only vaguely heard him say, ‘Now that she’s in trouble, it’s her sister’s turn next.’ At that time, I thought, Charlotte’s sister, isn’t that you?”
Audrey took a deep breath.
It turned out that Mort was behind Charlotte’s injury.
In that case, it was also Mort’s doing that Audrey was hit by a car today.
Mort had been competing with Frank for the position of the family’s heir, and Frank had a crush on Charlotte, so it made sense that he wanted to hurt Charlotte.
Mort’s actions were nothing more than a show of strength to Frank.
It seemed like Mort was a very cunning person. He had easily guessed who Frank liked..
