Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 42

Chapter 42 By the time Audrey was done cleaning the kitchen, Harper had fallen asleep at the dining table. Her face was bathed in tears.

She patted Harper’s head and covered her with a blanket. She noticed bruises on her skin under the cuff. Audrey furrowed her brow. She glanced at Harper before carefully pushing up the cuff a little

more.

Before she could take a better look, Harper twitched. Audrey stopped in her tracks. She made a note to ask her about it when she woke up.

Audrey went downstairs and hung a “For Sale” sign in the shop window. Her phone rang

“Louis asked for 1.3 million dollars in compensation. He said if it's 1.3 million dollars, he would need half a year to settle the payment. But if we can accept the amount of 1.1 million dollars, he can settle it immediately.”

Julian continued, “Louis’s personal suggestion is that if you can accept the compensation amount of 1.1 million dollars, it's better to settle it now to prevent any future troubles, After all, it's more secure when you take the money into your own hands.”

“Okay. Thank you and Louis for your help.”

Audrey hung up.

Nathan was hospitalized. His ward bustled with people visiting him all day. “Nathan has been in constant disasters ever since that Audrey woke up.” “That’s right. You’re always in the hospital.”

“Now that Audrey is so popular, don’t you want to do something about what they’re saying online? What if Amelia gets implicated?”

“| remember when Audrey last badgered Nathan, the paparazzi almost exposed his relationship withAmelia. No one knows how those netizens found out about Nathan and Audrey's past, but everyone said Amelia was a mistress and that Nathan was a scumbag.”

“We're already suppressing it,” Lucas replied, “However, the showrunners of ‘Looking For Family‘ want some attention, and we're facing some difficulties.”

“It's okay if they found out. Isn’t the woman who pushed Amelia at the airport Audrey's foster mother? If Amelia gets implicated, we'll reveal Audrey’s relationship to that woman. Let’s say that woman pushed Amelia for Audrey’s sake. We'll see who can throw more mud at the other.”

Lucas frowned and disagreed. Nathan was looking at the trending topics on his phone. He looked up and asked coldly, “And give the Chapter 42

media workers a chance to make speculations? They'll say that | pushed Audrey’s foster mother and caused her death. They'll send me to jail,”

Silence fell in the ward at once “That’s not what | meant.” The person who spoke awkwardly rubbed his nose. “I was just talking nonsense.”

“Alright. Nathan is tired, and | have to go back to work. Let’s leave!” Locas looked at his watch told Nathan, “We'll leave now. You have to take good care of yourself.”

As the crowd in the ward left, Nathan looked at the photo of Audrey shielding her body with a quilt onText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

his phone screen.

The photo Anne had forced him to look at that night came to mind. He had caught a quick glance at it.

It was a summer evening. Audrey was wearing a white shirt, a pair of jeans, and white sneakers. She was sitting on one of the stone railings by the river, smiling at the camera. Her long hair fell over her shoulders but fluttered in the evening breeze.

He had an arm around Audrey’s shoulders, and the fingers of his other hand was running through her hair. The expression on his face was serious yet gentle.

He frowned and swiped at the phone screen with annoyance. Those netizens were digging up information about Audrey. Nathan had already asked someone to suppress her popularity.

Even Amelia's manager, Yolanda Jones, was working on keeping the news to a minimum. She was afraid the entanglement between Amelia, Nathan, and Audrey would come to light again.

After all, when Amelia entered her relationship with Nathan, he hadn't divorced Audrey yet.

However, the showrunners of “Looking for Family” continued boosting the popularity of the show. Moreover, that episode was extremely popular. Especially the recording mentioned at the end of the latest episode made the show even more popular.

And yet, no one had linked Audrey to the incident when Amelia had gotten berated online by netizens four years before.

Even if she had been, it would have been drowned out by other comments too quickly. Nathan thought Ryan might have asked someone to keep the matter out of the spotlight.
