"I want Mommy!"Alea continued to whine about being with Audrey. Nicky brought Alea into the room so that she could fall asleep, but instead of falling asleep, Alea continued to cry for Audrey.This was the first time Alea was away from Audrey. She was not used to it, especially since Audrey always read her a fairy tale when she went to bed."Alea, baby, it's late, Mommy will come tomorrow, but now Alea will sleep first."Alea refused to listen and continued to cry for Audrey. Nicky was confused and at a loss."What if Uncle reads a story? Alea loves fairy tales, right?"Nicky quickly took a storybook from Alea's bag. Audrey had brought it to him earlier. She knew Alea's bedtime habit."Here you go." Nicky showed her a storybook.Alea's attention was distracted, and the child looked at the book Nicky was holding. Although her sobs were still audible, they were not as loud as before."You like stories about princes and princesses, right?"Alea nodded through her tears, making the child
The Pearl of Venice, the most special and most beautiful gown in the shop, looks just right on the woman there. It was the dress that chose its owner."The store manager told her employee with a smile on his face.Patricia who heard this felt envious. If there was a special dress there, it should belong to Patricia, not someone else. After all, who was the woman who was said to be so beautiful in that dress?Patricia became curious.She made her way to the other dressing room that the store manager had told her about. Once there, she was surprised to find Audrey wearing a broken white dress.Audrey, who saw Patricia in the mirror, was also surprised to find her there. She reflexively turned her body to face Patricia."You?" asked Patricia in disbelief. She looked at Audrey from head to toe.Patricia admitted that the dress Audrey was wearing was more beautiful than the one she was currently wearing. The dress should have been more appropriate if Patricia was wearing it. Not a subordin
"Why are you so worried about me? Are you afraid that something will happen to me?" said Audrey in a cold and stern voice."You pretended to be dead five years ago and now you're back all of a sudden. How can we not suspect you? If you wanted to avoid Daniel or us, then why are you reappearing now? I'm not sure if you don't have a hidden agenda."Audrey laughed lightly. She couldn't make sense of her parents' nonsense. "Jesus, Dad! How could you say something like that to me? I'm not like you guys who like to play games," Audrey quipped."Watch your mouth, Audrey! Remember who you're talking to!" Bryan snapped angrily."Of course I remember who I'm talking to, the honorable Mr. Bryan Larson," she taunted.Bryan took offense.He seemed to be holding back his emotions. However, Bryan was still holding back because they were in a public place and he didn't want to make a scene.He still had to maintain his good name. Don't let his emotions bring him down too."I know, your presence now i
Audrey received a phone call from the boutique manager. She answered the call surprised to learn that Bryan wanted "The Pearl of Venice" dress and would pay any amount for it. It must be Patricia's wish and as usual, Bryan and Lidya will always fulfill her wishes.Audrey, who was still upset with her parents' treatment, smiled slightly. She took advantage of this and said she would sell the dress for seven hundred million."Seven hundred million?!"Bryan was dumbfounded when the boutique manager mentioned the amount Audrey wanted. Seven hundred million for an ordinary dress?Lidya, meanwhile, was visibly upset. She felt that Audrey was doing this on purpose."Did you see how that kid acted? Because we wanted it first, she deliberately raised the price." Lidya said in a high tone. She was so upset and had expected that Audrey would take advantage of the situation.The store manager looked at her uncomfortably, then he said. "This dress was made by a famous fashion designer named Ashley
Tell me where Alea is. You must have brought her from school, right?""I don't know," Daniel replied indifferently.He was still flipping through his documents as if Audrey's question wasn't important."Daniel!" Audrey shouted angrily as Daniel ignored her. "If anything happens to Alea, I will never forgive you. Tell me quickly, where are you hiding Alea?" Audrey was so impatient that she accidentally snapped at him.Daniel looked up with his eyes flashing. "Didn't I tell you that I don't know! What did I bring Alea for anyway, huh? Tell me!"Daniel didn't like being forced to admit something he hadn't done. Audrey had been babbling on and on, and Daniel had said he didn't know, but she was still insisting and Daniel hated being treated like that!Audrey fell silent. Seeing such a serious expression, she was sure that Daniel wasn't lying.Suddenly panic hit her hard. If Daniel wasn't the one who took Alea, then who was?"Do you love that child very much?" Daniel asked in a low tone. H
Patricia didn't want to, especially when she saw that the dress was very beautiful and elegant. By wearing the dress, she could show everyone that she was a classy woman, but she had to pretend to give in to Audrey in front of her parents."Now that I think about it, that dress is indeed very expensive. After all, it's yours, you want it too, right? So, I don't mind if you have it back. I can buy another cheaper dress," she said in a soft tone. Trying to show her good side in front of everyone.The goal is for everyone to praise her, especially her parents.Audrey, who already knew how Patricia was, just snorted coldly. "I will not accept the dress that is already yours, because it has been tainted by your hands," Audrey said sarcastically. She deliberately said this to undermine Patricia's ego.And it offended Patricia, making her face red as if the blood in her body had boiled."Audrey! Watch what you say!"Audrey smiled mockingly. No matter how much Patricia tried to look like an a
Feeling that it was useless to continue in the house without success, Audrey chose to leave immediately. She was sick of dealing with the drama-filled Larson family.She realized that they wouldn't take Alea because they had no love for her.Audrey was about to step out when Lidya stepped in again and stopped her. She gave Audrey a sardonic look. It was clear that Lidya was angry with what Audrey had done earlier."After what you've done, disturbing the peace in someone else's residence, now you're just going to leave?"Lidya clapped her hands mockingly. "Wow, wow, wow! You're doing great, Audrey. Messing up and then leaving. You should apologize to us first for making accusations." Lidya then stood in front of Audrey with an angry look.Audrey was still standing but her gaze was turned away from Lidya. She was reluctant to respond. However, the words that came out of Lidya's mouth next could not make Audrey hold back her emotions anymore."Just for an illegitimate child you accuse yo
"Can I get an orange soda?"At Daniel's residence, Kenzie asked for more drinks. The maid she ordered could only furrow her brow, surprised by Kenzie's request.The reason was that Kenzie had never had a sugary soda drink.But there was nothing the maid could do but nod, she couldn't refuse Kenzie's request."Yes, sir. I'll take it to your room right away."Kenzie smiled, then quickly walked away and went back to her room.He picked up his bag and put his shoes back where they belonged. Not long after, there was a knock on the door from outside.Kenzie stepped up to open the door but only opened it slightly."Here are the drinks you requested, sir."The maid handed Kenzie a can of orange juice soda and a plate of snacks. He took them without letting the maid into the room."Thank you, you may leave," Kenzie said.The maid bowed respectfully and left. After making sure the maid was completely gone, Kenzie closed the door quietly and placed the tray on the table.Then He took another st
