Chapter 231
“So, are you here to plead mercy for Amelia’s manager or to threaten me?” Audrey couldn’t help but
smile at the memory of Nathan threatening her with the Yeomans family’s power for Amelia’s cousin,
Charles.
“Audrey, I used to be quite a jerk to you, and I apologize for that. I won’t use the Yeomans family to
threaten you anymore. You can rest assured!
“I’m only here today to see what kind ofpensation you need to give Ynda a chance to start over.
She’s merely afraid that you’ll find Mr. Russo and tell him about what happened in the past. She’s doing
everything to protect Amelia,” Nathan with a gentle tone with a hint of plea.
Audrey’s smile slowly faded. “Mr. Franklin, you’re quite amusing. It’s not Amelia who’s going to jail, so
why the hurry? The Franklin Group is in chaos, yet you still have time to waste on someone irrelevant!
“Do you think having the Gough family’s backing will solve everything? Shouldn’t you be more
concerned about buying the form from Evergreen Biotech?”
Nathan’s expression darkened. “Did Taylor tell you all this? What’s your rtionship with Taylor? Was
the reason Taylor sent Charles to jail because of you?”
“Is that any of your business?”
Nathan stepped closer to Audrey. “Neither Mr. Russo nor Taylor will marry a divorced woman with a
child! They’re just being nice to you to get you into bed. You…”
Audrey pped Nathan across the face. Then she grabbed his tie and pulled him closer. Her eyes
were icy and nothing like Nathan remembered.
Audrey spoke slowly and deliberately, “Not everyone thinks about romance all the time like you do! Just
focus on Amelia.
“You should put your efforts into managing the Franklin Group and dealing with Evergreen Biotech.
Otherwise, the Franklin Group will go bankrupt under your leadership.”
Following that, Audrey released Nathan’s tie and even tidied his suit for him. She seemed to be in a
good mood.
Nathan’s breath was heavy. “Audrey…”
Audrey smiled and leaned closer to Nathan. She whispered, “Are you trying to threaten me with the
Yeomans family again? Do you want me to persuade Taylor to let Charles go and
Chapter 231
also let Amelia’s manager and the Gough family go?
“I’ve said it before, a leverage can only be used to threaten me once. You used it to save Charles
before, but that’s not enough to continue threatening me.”

Just as Audrey turned to leave, Nathan grabbed her wrist. His voice was tinged with frustration as he
said, “I’m not trying to threaten you, Audrey. Can’t we just talk? Do we have to be at odds with each
other?”
She turned to look at Nathan, who was holding her wrist. “Wasn’t it you who drew the sword against me
first?”
As Nathan recalled what he had done to Audrey after his memory loss, his heart felt like it was being
squeezed by a giant hand. He let go of Audrey’s wrist as if it had been burned.
“Audrey, I…”
“Nathan, don’t appear in front of me again unless you’ve decided to dere war on me for the sake of
Amelia’s manager.”

After giving Nathan a final nce, Audrey turned and walked toward Night Pce.
Under the streetlights, Nathan stood for a moment before pushing open the back door of Night Pce
and walking inside.
On the fourth floor, Ryan stood by the window with one hand in his pocket. He picked up a ss from
the long table beside him and downed its contents in one gulp. He then picked up another ss and
did the same.
His expression remained indifferent as he stared at the spot where Nathan and Audrey had left, but
beneath the surface, his eyes smoldered with intense anger.
Looking up from downstairs, one could see the man’s rugged facial features and casual yet elegant
posture illuminated by the dim light.
His slender fingers, adorned with a wristwatch, lifted the ss to his lips as he downed its contents.
The line from his jaw to his neck was entuated by the cor of his shirt, adding to his enigmatic
allure.
Behind Ryan, the screams were masked by the ear–splitting music from downstairs.
