Chapter 51


    When Audrey arrived at the Cordova mansion, the guards and servants of the Cordovas warmly


    weed her. Audrey walked into the vi easily.


    Kylee was surprised to see Audrey, and then she was overjoyed.


    "Elliana, why do youe at such ate hour?"


    The moment Audrey saw Kylee, she felt a little stunned.


    When Audrey heard that Bryson would be in danger, something inside her urged her to persuade


    Bryson to change his mind. Because Bryson did not answer her phone, she directly rushed to the


    Cordova Mansion.


    Audrey felt guilty on hearing Kylee''s question.


    She was shocked. After two seconds, she came to herself.


    "Well, Grandma, I miss you, so Ie."


    Kylee was happy to hear Audrey''s answer.


    "My granddaughter has a sweet tongue. If you miss grandma, juste back." Kylee held Audrey''s


    hand and asked with concern, "Have you had supper since youe sote? Why are you dressed so


    thin on such a cold night? You should put on another piece of clothing."


    Audrey was touched.


    "Grandma, I''ve had supper. I''m not afraid of the cold. Touch my hand. Is it hot?"


    "It''s always right to wear thick clothes. Haven''t you heard that to wear more clothes during spring and


    less in autumn? It''s spring now. So, you need to wear more."


    Audrey had a wry smile.


    "Grandma, it''s summer now. It can be thirty degrees at noon. There''s no need to wear so much in this


    kind of weather."


    "You''re always so stubborn. Forget it. I won''t argue with you."


    "By the way, grandma...." Audrey nced around and did not see Bryson. She looked in the direction


    of the study from afar. The room seemed to be dark. "Where''s my brother? Is he at home?"


    "He''s not at home. He works overtime tonight and hasn''te back yet. What''s the matter? Is there


    anything urgent you want to talk with your brother?"


    "No. I called Bryson and wanted to tell him that I woulde back, but no one answered my phone."


    "Well, he''s leaving for Pine City tomorrow afternoon. He''s probably busy with thepany business.


    He maye backte tonight," Kylee said with a worried tone.


    He mighte backte tonight....


    Moreover, tomorrow ... he was going to Pine City.


    Audrey''s eyebrows furrowed.

    "Got it!"


    Kylee held Audrey''s hand, reluctant to let it go. "Elliana, it''s sote. Don''t go back tonight. Can you stay


    at home?"


    Audrey smiled and nodded. "Alright!"


    After Audrey entered the guest room, she regained her clear mind.


    She began to regret it, but it was toote.


    She shouldn''t havee to the Cordova Mansion.


    Was she going to persuade Bryson not to go to Pine City?


    What qualifications did she have? To some degree, she was his sister? But he said he didn''t want a


    sister.


    The more Audrey thought about it, the more she felt that it was wrong toe here.


    Anyway, she came here to see Kylee. When she left tomorrow morning, she wouldn''t care about


    anything else.


    Bryson was neither her friend nor her rtive. His safety had nothing to do with her.


    She just wanted toe back to take revenge.


    ...


    It was already midnight. Audrey was tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.


    Her mind was full of Bryson being kidnapped or assassinated after he went to Pine City. As a result,


    she lost sleep.


    Audrey was enraged, for she couldn''t fall asleep. She suddenly sat up and scratched her hair irritably.


    People tended to be thirsty when he was irritated.


    Audrey got up to get some water.


    There was no water in the water dispenser on the second floor, so she went to the kitchen on the first


    floor.


    As soon as she walked down the stairs, she vaguely saw a man sitting on the edge of the bar under the


    dim yellow light. He was drinking wine with a ss in his hand.


    His suit jacket was casually tossed on the bar counter. The tie around his neck had been untied and


    was left together with the jacket. The cufflinks on both sleeves had been unbuttoned and he rolled up


    sleeves to his forearms.


    He drank in an elegant manner, and the curve of his neck was sexy. He was like an attractive monster.


    Seeing him, Audrey calmed down a bit.


    "Mr. Bryson?" Audrey called out.


    Bryson looked up at Audrey with obvious surprise in his eyes.


    "Ms. Audrey, you didn''t leave tonight?"


    Audrey lied. "I want to spend more time with Grandma, so I didn''t go back."


    "You haven''t slept yet?"


    "Well, I''ve been under a lot of pressuretely, so I suffer from insomnia."


    Bryson took out another ss from the wine rack and signaled to Audrey. "Since you can''t sleep, then


    have a drink with me. Drinking will help you sleep."


    Audrey hesitated for a moment. In the end, she walked over and sat down beside Bryson.


    Bryson took out another bottle of cocktail, not as strong as the whiskey he drank.


    Then, he filled a cup for Audrey and pushed it to her.


    "Thank you!" Audrey took the ss.


    She took a sip and the mellow wine slid into Audrey''s throat, soothing her stomach.


    After drinking a mouthful of wine, Audrey said, "Mr. Bryson, youe back sote. Are you busy with


    thepany business?"


    "Yes." Bryson didn''t hide anything from Audrey. "I''m going to Pine City tomorrow, so I have to take care


    of everything in thepany."


    "To Pine City?"


    "Yes!" Bryson casually drank a cup of wine.


    "Well, Mr. Bryson, I heard that you had a grudge against Lance. If you go to Pine City, I''m afraid...."


    Bryson chuckled. "I have never been afraid of anyone."


    "But Lance is revengeful."


    Bryson suddenly turned around and stared at Audrey''s eyes. "Ms. Audrey, are you trying to persuade


    me not to go to Pine City?"


    Audrey didn''t dare to meet Bryson''s gaze. She turned her face away and took a sip of wine to hide her


    panic.


    "Well, as your friend, I''m just trying to remind Mr. Bryson that it''s dangerous to go to Pine City. It will be


    better for you not to go to Pine City."


    After listening to Audrey''s exnation, Bryson stared at the wine in his ss and gently shook it. He let


    outughter with a half-smile on his face.


    Audrey frowned and looked at Bryson. "Mr. Bryson, what are youughing at?"


    Bryson''s gaze shifted his gaze from the wine to Audrey. His gaze was even more burning and


    aggressive than before.


    "Ms. Audrey, I am very selfish and arrogant. I never listen to others'' advice. If you try to persuade me


    as my friend, don''t waste your breath. If you are willing to act as another role, I''ll consider your advice."
