Chapter 397


    Audrey stiffened for a moment, and then she withdrew her hand.


    Caroline still held a grudge against her, so it was reasonable for her to treat her like this.


    If she continued to stay here, it would only make Caroline even angrier, so Audrey held the cup in her


    hand and was about to go upstairs.


    "Stop!" Caroline stopped Audrey.


    Audrey stopped. She turned around, smiling at Caroline. "Mrs. Cordova, what''s the matter?"


    Caroline had already filled water into her cup. She was facing Audrey now.


    "Audrey, don''t think that you can be Elliana when you are pretending to be her. In my heart,


    nobody can rece my daughter.


    Audrey was not angry. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Cordova, you don''t have to remind me. I''m fully


    aware that nobody can rece Elliana in your heart. I just promised to pretend to be your daughter forText property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    the sake of Madame Cordova''s health. Originally, I am going to leave when she recovers."


    "Are you saying that you will walk away when Madam Cordova gets recovered?"


    "I was intended to do that."


    "But you are hooked up with Bryson now, so you are not going to leave our family alone, right? In the


    end..." Caroline sneered and mocked. "Don''t you dare to say that you are not interested in the Cordova


    family''s family background and money? Once Madam Cordova recovers, leave here right away! I''ll pay


    you 1. 6 million dors!"


    "No way!" Audrey refused coldly.


    "What? Is it not enough? Okay, I will give you double."


    Audrey frowned without saying a word.


    Caroline lowered her head and sneered.


    "Are you not satisfied? Make it 16 million dors, and you have to break up with my son."


    Audrey''s pupils contracted slightly. "Mrs. Cordova, I don''t need your money."


    Audrey''s tone was neither humble nor arrogant. "What''s more, I don''tck money. Your money is


    worthless in my eyes. I agreed to stay with Bryson because I love him, not because he was the CEO of


    the Cordova Group. I don''t care about his identity and status at all."


    "Even if he is just a mediocre man?"


    "Yes!"


    "If Bryson wasn''t the CEO of the Cordova Group and the Group went bankrupt, would you still be with


    him?"


    Audrey''s lips curved into a smile as she raised her eyebrows.


    "If that dayes, I''d be happy to take care of him."


    Caroline was speechless.


    In Caroline''s eyes, Audrey was a cunning woman. She didn''t believe a word of what she said.


    If Bryson had nothing left, would Audrey still be with Bryson?


    It was impossible.


    Audrey was too smart. She was awyer, so she clearly knew how to leave people a good impression.


    However, Audrey''s words made Caroline hate her even more.


    She hated eloquent women.


    Caroline sneered.


    "Even if you say so, it won''t change my impression on you."


    Audrey smiled and replied, "Mrs. Cordova, I don''t intend to change your impression of me. I am just


    stating the facts. Bryson and I are together because we are in love. No matter how you disagree with


    me, I will not break up with Bryson."


    Caroline was speechless.


    Audrey was eloquent, sharp-tongued, and thick-skinned. Caroline could not be more disgusted with


    Audrey.


    Knowing that she could not convince Audrey, Caroline left the kitchen with a sullen face.


    Audrey sighed as she watched Caroline leave.


    How bad it was! Audrey seemed to piss off Bryson''s mother, which made it more difficult for her to be


    with Bryson in the future.


    However, she was not the kind of person who would give up her self-esteem to favor others. Even she


    did so, Caroline would look down on her even more. That was not her personality.


    Her love for Bryson was pure. She wasn''t coveting his identity, money, and social status.


    Thinking of this, she went back to her room, holding the cup of water in her hand.


    A momentter, she opened the door.


    She suddenly felt a strange aura in the air when she was about to walk into the room. Before she could


    react, a man quickly grabbed her wrist with his hand, pulled her in quickly, and locked the door. He


    even pressed the back of her hand against the door.


    His aura and action were so familiar.


    She knew it was Bryson. She was in the Cordova Mansion. Except for Bryson, who dared to do such a


    thing to her?


    "Bryson, why are you here?" Audrey cried out in rm, her other hand firmly holding the cup so as not


    to let the water spill.


    "If that dayes, I''d be happy to take care of him," Bryson repeated what Audrey had just said to


    Caroline in the kitchen and deliberately imitated her tone.


    Audrey widened her eyes. "You were eavesdropping on my conversation with your mother!"


    "This is my home. I''m free to go anywhere inside the house. You guys talked about it openly, and I


    listened to you openly!"


    Audrey rolled her eyes. "You know it was eavesdropping if you listened to the contents of our


    conversation without our permission."


    "Okay, I was eavesdropping. Otherwise, how could I hear your pledge?" Bryson held back hisughter


    and added, "I was thinking that I should give thepany back to my dad and count on you!"


    Audrey smiled and said, "No problem! But not every man can be a toy boy. What else can you do


    except for being a CEO? You seem not to know how to wash clothes, cook, and do the cleaning. I think


    you should learn them first."


    "No problem, but before that, I have to learn to do another job."


    "What job?" asked Audrey.


    "It''s about how to please you."


    Bryson amused Audrey.


    "Really? How are you going to please me?" Audrey continued arrogantly, "My standards are very high.


    If you don''t reach the standard, you might lose the qualification!"


    "Let me please you!"


    A short whileter.


    "Audrey, what do you think?"


    ...


    "Actually, I don''t feel anything!"


    "But you seemed to enjoy it very much!"


    Audrey blushed and retorted. "Don''t talk nonsense. This is my bedroom. You should leave as soon as


    possible!"


    Bryson seemed to anger Audrey.


    While Bryson was still thinking about coaxing Audrey, she had already mercilessly pushed him out of


    the room.


    After being kicked out of the room, Bryson patted Audrey''s door. "Audrey, open the door!"


    Audrey ignored Bryson.


    Kylee, whose room was on the opposite, suddenly opened the door and looked at Bryson with


    dissatisfaction when he was about to knock the door for the third time.


    "Bryson, it''s sote. Why are you keeping knocking on your sister''s door? Even if something big


    happens to yourpany, deal with it tomorrow when your sister goes to work. Now go back to your


    room. Don''t disturb your sister."


    "Got it, Grandma."


    Bryson left Audrey''s room in regret.


    Audrey, who was standing inside the door, was scared to hear Kylee''s voice outside that all the


    thoughts in her mind immediately disappeared. lightnoveldaily
