Chapter 274


    Nathan’s hand trembled slightly after hearing that Audrey was also present.


    Carol’s expression darkened. “I didn’t expect Audrey to have such skill. She somehow managed to get


    Ryan to bring her to Mr. Lambert Senior’s birthday banquet.”


    “It seems that Mr. Lambert Senior had someone bring Audrey here.” Hugo furrowed his brows,


    countering Carol. “And Mr. Lambert Senior seems to really like Audrey.”


    Carol was taken aback, tightening her grip on her handbag and gritting her teeth. “She’s already


    managed to get close to Mr. Lambert Senior? She’s quite something!”


    “Mom!” Nathan’s anger red. “Audrey is not that kind of person! I don’t like you talking about Audrey


    like this. If you say one more word-”


    “Nathan!” Hugo saw a security guard ncing their way and quickly pulled Nathan back.


    “Mrs. Franklin, you should watch what you say. This ce is filled with people from the Lambert family.


    If Mr. Lambert Senior finds out, he might not easily forgive your family.” Carol adjusted her shawl. “Both


    of you, what’s going on in your heads? When I said


    has some skills, I didn’t say anything about her making Mr. Lambert Senior like her!”


    Hugo ignored her and turned to face Nathan. “Nathan, when you go inside, control yourself


    and don’t go looking for Audrey. If things go wrong, I won’t be able to exin things to my father when I


    return,” he cautioned.


    Nathan’s hands clenched tightly at his side.


    He wanted to see Audrey so much that it drove him insane.


    All he could think of when he closed his eyes was Audrey. He wished he could kneel before her, hold


    onto her legs, and beg for her forgiveness.


    He knew Audrey was the kindest to him.


    He recalled a time when he’d been hurt in a fight, and Audrey got mad at him. He hid his tears while


    lying on his desk; and when Audrey noticed, she still apologized first and even bought him his favorite


    cake.


    However, Nathan also understood that he made a huge mistake this time that seemed impossible to


    redeem.


    Still, he wanted to give it a try.

    “I know! At least for now, I’m still officially Amelia’s fiancé. I won’t drag Audrey into any scandals with so


    many reporters here today. I don’t want her to be hurt again.”


    As Nathan said this, tears were already welling up in his eyes. He wiped his tears, then patted Hugo’s


    arm. “Don’t worry.”


    He had already done too much to hurt Audrey.


    Before Amelia’s deadline, he would remind himself to stay away from Audrey to protect her from public


    opinion.


    Carol couldn’t stand the sight of Nathan’s unwavering loyalty to Audrey. She smiled and said, “Hugo,


    let’s


    o in!”


    Hugo nodded, leading Nathan and Carol into the banquet hall. George was already delivering his


    speech on stage by the time they entered.


    As they took their seats toward the back, they noticed Audrey sitting at the main table, engaged in


    conversation with the directors of the Lambert Corporation.


    Nathan’s throat tightened, feeling a wave of emotions as he looked at the scene before him.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    For some reason, it reminded him of their school’s graduation ceremony years ago.


    Back then, the principal had Audrey sit at the main table.


    Unexpectedly, after Audrey finished her speech on stage, she came to sit beside him, saying, “On such


    an important day, we should be there for each other.”
