Chapter 453


    Audrey was speechless.


    Audrey did not answer, but Bryson rejected Jean, his biological sister. Audrey thought it was improper


    to reject Jean bluntly.


    Then Jean looked at Bryson with a meaningful smile and said, "Bryson, Ms. Audrey hasn''t even spoken


    yet but you rejected me. Have you asked her for her opinion?"


    "The Randall family owns a lot of cooperativew firms. Why don''t you ask them for help but turn to


    Audrey?" Bryson asked in dissatisfaction.


    Jean replied as a matter of course, "I''ve always heard that Ms. Audrey is an outstanding figure in the


    lawyer industry. Thew firms that ourpany co-operates with handle affairs with money. Naturally,


    they won''t sincerely help their clients deal with matters. However, Ms. Audrey is my friend. Am I right,


    Ms. Audrey?"


    Since Jean had already said it, Audrey could not refuse.


    Bryson red at Audrey coldly and pulled her into his arms.


    Bryson held Audrey''s waist hard, indicating a warning to interrupt what she wanted to say.


    "I said she can''t help you. That''s it. If you lose thiswsuit, thepensation will be paid by the


    Cordova Group." Bryson said.


    Jean looked at Bryson with a smile from the beginning to the end.


    Jean replied, "Bryson, I am so sad to hear what you have said. I just asked my future sister-inw for a


    favor, but you refused. Do you take me as your sister? Besides, Ms. Audrey is a free individual.


    Although you are her boyfriend, you do not have the right to make any decisions for her."


    Audrey was about to say something.


    If Bryson and Jean continued talking, they were about to start a quarrel.


    Bryson and Jean were families, and if they were to quarrel because of Audrey, she would feel guilty.


    Audrey quickly said, "Jean, I will help you with the case you mentioned."


    Bryson''s grip on Audrey''s waist became stronger, almost making it fracture. Audrey endured the pain


    and pretended to keep smiling.


    Jean smiled merrily.


    "Great!" Jean said as she handed a business card to Audrey and added, "Tomorrow at 9:00 a. m., I''ll


    wait for you in the office of the Randall Group."


    Audrey received the card and replied, "I will be there on time."


    Jean smiled at the crowd and said, "Alright, the dishes have already been served, so I won''t disturb


    your meal. Enjoy yourselves. See you next time!"


    James and George stood up at the same time and said, "Goodbye, Jean."

    Jean left and closed the door for them.


    After Jean left, George subconsciously wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He said, "I didn''t expect


    the Randall Group to have purchased this restaurant."


    Nataly saw George''s expression and asked curiously, "Well, you seem to be very afraid of Jean."


    George nced at Bryson, who was opposite him and then said, "If Bryson is the king of the business


    world, then Jean is the queen. Originally, the Randall Group was only one of the top 100panies in


    Peace City. Because of Jean, the Randall Group ranks in the top ten."


    "Jean looks soft and weak, but she is very ruthless."


    Audrey frowned.


    No wonder Bryson had rejected Jean. Perhaps he was afraid that Jean would deliberately make things


    difficult for Audrey.


    Since Audrey promised to help Jean, Bryson, who was beside Audrey, did not say a word to her.


    Audrey quietly sized up Bryson and noticed that he was gloomy. Audrey held his hand and he did not


    push her away.


    Seeing this, Audrey said to Bryson, "Don''t worry, I have handled many cases over the years. No matter


    howplicated the case is, it won''t be a problem for me. You have to believe in me."


    Bryson held Audrey''s hand and replied, "If you don''t want to take this case, I will ask otherwyers to


    take it."


    Audrey shook her head with a smile.


    "Since Jean has asked me for help, I can''t allow otherwyers to rece me. Otherwise, it would be


    rude. Moreover, it is just a case," said Audrey.


    Bryson stared straight into Audrey''s eyes and said, "If you find anything wrong, call me immediately."


    Audrey looked at Bryson with a smile.


    She exined, "Since Jean knows that I am your girlfriend, she won''t make things difficult for me. Take


    it easy."


    James coughed and said, "Ms. Audrey, don''t look down on Jean. Many people were tortured by her


    andmitted suicide."


    Audrey did not know how to respond.


    Even James said Jean was cold and ruthless.


    Audrey frowned and cautiously said to Bryson, "Don''t worry. If anything happens, I will inform you


    immediately."


    Bryson felt a little relieved and he nodded.


    Jean''s appearance was just an interlude to their meal. They talked and the atmosphere quickly became


    lively again.


    In the evening, Bryson was drunk. When Kolby drove Bryson and Audrey to her house, Bryson was


    leaning against her with his eyes closing.


    Audrey caressed Bryson''s face. His face was still hot because of the alcohol.


    "Do you want to have a cup of tea?" Audrey asked.


    "Alright!" replied Bryson.


    Bryson and Audrey went upstairs together.


    Audrey was about to make tea when she noticed that the water dispenser did not work. There was no


    water, so Audrey poked her head out of the kitchen and said to Bryson, who was sitting on the sofa,


    "Bryson, the water dispenser did not work. I''m using the gas stove to boil water now. Please wait a


    minute."


    Bryson leanedfortably on the sofa and tilted his head. "Alright."


    Audrey brushed the kettle before pouring water. She put the kettle on the stove, turned on the gas


    stove, and walked out of the kitchen back to the living room.


    Audrey saw Bryson rubbing his temples in pain.


    "Are you alright?" Audrey asked worriedly.


    "Not so well," said Bryson.


    Audrey sat down next to Bryson. She gestured for him to put his head on herp. When Brysonid


    down, Audrey gently rubbed Bryson''s temple with her finger.


    Audrey had learned massage maniption from some experts before, so she could urately touch


    the acupuncture points and use her strength perfectly.


    Thefortable feeling made Bryson rxed.


    After a while, Bryson fell asleep.


    The water on the stove was boiled. Audrey carefully removed Bryson''s head from her knees and


    ced it on the sofa. Then, she hurriedly went to the kitchen. She poured the water into a bottle.


    When Audrey returned to the living room, she saw that Bryson was still asleep. Audrey took out a


    nket from her room and covered him with it and she sat on the other end of the sofa and read.
