55 Guests?
It was the weekend, and Audrey's crew had half a day off. When she returned home, she realized that someone seemed to be talking in the living room. It seemed quite lively?
[What's going on? Is there a guest?]
Audrey was puzzled when she bumped into Eric, who was on his way.
Upon seeing Audrey return, Eric's expression was a little strange, especially when he saw the bullet screen above Audrey's head. He thought for a moment and reminded her kindly, "Are you sure you want to go in now?"
"Oh? Why aren't I going in? To be a pillar outside?" Audrey looked up with an innocent expression.
[What's wrong with Second Brother today? Does he not welcome me back?]
Eric smirked and led her in.
He suddenly said without rhyme or reason, "No matter what happens, I will still stand on your side."
What? Audrey didn't understand.
However, when she entered the living room, Audrey understood what was going on.
As soon as she entered, the people sitting in the living room quickly looked over.
One of them was a noblewoman Audrey had never seen before.
Audrey didn't know Caroline, but Caroline could tell at a glance that it was her.
"Hmph, you still know how to come back?" Caroline snorted coldly, acting like the mistress of the house.
Anthea, who was sitting opposite him, didn't look any better.
When Caroline came to the house just now, she thought it was a little strange. After all, it had been a long time since this woman had set foot here. She didn't expect Anthea to hear something even more shocking.
Caroline actually said that Audrey colluded with her best friend, Linda, to frame her son, Jerry!
Caroline ignored what Anthea wanted to ask. After ignoring her, she cried to Gary, who was reading the newspaper in the living room.
Gary was also stunned at that time—even though he had already heard her roughly explain it before.
Caroline first accused Abner of being ruthless and unwilling to help her biological brother. Then, she angrily accused Audrey of "good deeds".
God knew how shocked Anthea was when she heard what Caroline had said.
Anthea refuted her almost subconsciously. "How is that possible? Although Audrey is usually a little arrogant and willful, she's definitely not such a person! You're spouting nonsense!"
When it came to her daughter, Anthea almost lost her mind. She absolutely didn't believe that Audrey would do such a thing!
"Impossible? Hehe, listen." Caroline immediately said to Gary, "Gary, you know my temper. If it wasn't true, would I accuse someone for no reason? Jerry is still in custody. Are you going to watch me run around? I'm Abner's mother after all!"
With that, Caroline started crying again.
Anthea, who had always been gentle and demure, changed her usual demeanor and started arguing with Caroline. Gary had a headache from the noise, but Eric, who was sitting quietly beside him, rolled his eyes and covered his ears, wanting to go out to the garden to get some air.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into Audrey, who had just returned from outside.
Audrey stood in the living room, feeling that everyone's gazes were especially piercing.
"Come and sit," Gary called out to her, his face expressionless.
After Audrey sat down, she looked at the beautiful woman who was staring at her for no reason. She couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Anthea.
"This is Caroline, Abner's mother." Anthea held back her anger and explained to her daughter.
Oh! So it's Abner's mother… Wait, Abner's mother? Isn't that… Audrey finally came to a realization.
No wonder there were still tears in this noblewoman's eyes. She was here to seek justice for that bastard Jerry today.
Heh. Audrey sneered inwardly, but her expression was extremely calm.
A few days ago, Abner had clearly told her that it was Jerry's fault and had nothing to do with her.
Abner was a reasonable person. Just from Jerry harassing her last time, it could be seen that Abner was not an unreasonable person.
This time, it was obvious that Caroline had come to Gary because she wanted Jerry to successfully escape the crime of seducing a woman. It must have been because Abner had rejected her request that Caroline had come here directly.
Jerry was a member of the Rick family no matter what. With such a scandal, the share price of the Rick family business had probably fallen a lot. If they didn't find someone to take the blame, the head of the Rick family would definitely not give Caroline a good attitude.
