Chapter 282
Chester hadn’t yet revealed to Noah that Audrey was the founder of Evergreen Biotech.
Seeing his son’s arrogant demeanor, Chester sighed.
“Son, I don’t have much expectations of you. Just live well. As long as you can hold onto our family’s shares in the Lambert Corporation, you’ll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of your life.
“Don’t cause trouble when there’s none, you hear me? You’re my only son. Would I say this if it wasn’t beneficial for you?”
Chester had a very clear understanding of his family’s position.
Chester knew his limitations and had always listened to George over the years.
Now that he was old and suffering from infertility, he finally had a son in his old age. With Noah as his only child, he doted on him but also knew his son’s capabilities.
Chester didn’t harbor grand ambitions for him, feeling that a simple and ordinary life was also a blessing.
Noah picked up his glass of wine and took a sip, silently criticizing his old man for being too loyal to George.
Nevertheless, whether it was Ryan or Audrey, neither was related to George by blood.
Noah still felt that Lyra, who was far away in a foreign country, had a greater chance of
success.
That was why he chose to collaborate with Lyra.
Noah’s phone chimed with a message notification. He glanced down and opened the
message.
It was from Lyra. “Just landed with my dad.”
Seeing Lyra’s reply, a smirk formed on his lips as he glanced in Audrey and Ryan’s
direction.
George started to show signs of exhaustion after introducing Audrey as the granddaughter of the Lambert family to influential figures in the Mythravia circle.
He appeared weary after seeing off several important people.
After helping George into the car, Audrey and Ryan heard him say to Audrey, “Today marks your official return to the Lambert family. I have a gift for you; I’ll have Ryan take you to see it later.”
Audrey nodded. “Okay. Thank you, Grandpa!”
Then, Audrey turned to Edward and said, “Edward, thank you for escorting Grandpa
back. Make sure he takes his medicine and gets some rest.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ms. Audrey, rest assured.” Edward nodded with a smile.
Watching George depart, Audrey felt a warmth on her shoulder and then saw Ryan draping his suit jacket over her.
“I’m not cold,” Audrey said.
“Yeah, I know.” Ryan opened the car door for her, shielding Audrey’s head as she entered the car. “You’re too beautiful; I don’t want anyone else to see you like this.”
Audrey blushed and pulled Ryan’s suit closer around her as she got into the car.
Nathan stood behind a nearby pillar, his eyes fixed on Audrey as if she would disappear he looked away.

His eyes were red, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.
Only when the car carrying Audrey vanished from his blurry vision did Nathan finally feel limp. Leaning against the pillar, his heart twisted with pain.
Standing beside Nathan, Hugo watched him for a while before saying, “Let’s go.”
“I didn’t see a boyfriend with Audrey.” Nathan’s throat tightened, looking at Hugo with hopeful eyes.
“The person she was having dinner with that day was her bodyguard. Do you think Audrey was lying to me? Maybe she doesn’t have a boyfriend at all, and that child-”
