    Chapter 1034 Hopeless


    When Brian received the message, he quickly rushed to Casier.


    He was originally nning to go to the Freesons personally to get Audrey, but he received news halfway there that Branden had already arrived at the Freesons.


    He couldn''te face-to-face with Branden yet, as things between them weren''tpletely resolved. If he ran into Branden, all his nning would be for nothing.


    Since Branden had already gone for the Freesons, it would definitely be more effective than if Brian had done it. After all, Loxton was now under the control of the Duncans.


    After receiving the message, Brian rushed back to Casier to save Audrey immediately.


    When he arrived, Triston had just beat him to it.


    He quietly backed away, only after seeing that Audrey was safe and sound.


    After leaving, he camped out at Audrey''s apartment, waiting for her.


    Audrey knew he already knew what had happened and rushed here to check on her. "Don''t worry, I''m fine."


    Brian nodded slightly, picturing Audrey getting out of the car and turning to say goodbye to Triston. At that moment, Audrey had a smile on her face, and Brian''s heart slowly sank.


    The silence put the whole room into awkwardness.


    Audrey took the initiative to speak up. "You should leave now if there''s nothing else."


    Brian got up silently and nodded awkwardly. As he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Audrey with hopeful eyes. "Do we really not stand a chance?"


    Audrey said casually, "I''m sorry!"


    The simple words totally dashed Brian''s hopes. He forced a smile, then slowly left the apartment. "Take care. I''m leaving!"


    Looking at his lonely figure, Audrey was full of helplessness. She just couldn''t move past some things. She couldn''t forget that Brian approached her from the beginning for the sake of benefits and purposes. As long as she couldn''t get over this, she got no chance with him.


    ANAWA


    As Brian was about to leave downstairs, he looked back sharply.


    Not far away, Triston was leaning against the flower bed with a cigarette in his mouth.


    Amid the hazy smoke, the two locked eyes, and Triston slowly said, "Want a smoke?"


    Brian didn''t say no. Triston casually tossed the cigarette to him. It streaked across the dark night, thennded steadily in Brian''s hand.


    Brian never imagined he would actually stand side by side with Triston and smoke together.


    After Audrey went upstairs, Triston realized something was off.


    She turned on the light three minutester than usual.


    She drank a little today and was in a good mood, walking fast. It must not be dyed on the way. For Audrey''s safety, Tristan immediately went upstairs and saw Audrey open the door and invite Brian in.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    He walked downstairs dejectedly and decided to have a smoke in the garden downstairs to calm down.


    After smoking a cigarette, he saw Brian going downstairs.


    After a long silence, he suddenly spoke up. ''You shouldn''t havee back."


    Brian knew that the situation in Casier was dangerous. If Triston wanted to take him down, he might not even have a chance to escape this time.


    However, he still couldn''t resign himself to it. So he riskeding back for Audrey.


    If Audrey were willing, he would leave with her even if he would lose everything.


    Now that he was sure about Audrey''s feelings. He totally understood he stood no chance.


    He slowly spoke with a hoarse voice full of despair. "It''s time to go. I''m afraid I won''t have a chance toe back again."
