Chapter 68
Half an hour later, when Audrey and Sherlyn came out of the room, Sherlyn seemed completely transformed, with the long–standing tension from her headaches. dissipating.
She appeared refreshed and vigorated.
The few women immediately understood the situation and looked at Audrey with even more astonishment, especially Katherine, who was eagerly anticipating the arrival of a child..
“How did it go?” Phoebe asked her good friend.
“I feel much better now. I feel relaxed and clear–headed. Audrey said she’ll do therapy on me a few more times and give me some medicine, and then I’ll be fine!” Sherlyn exclaimed, feeling revitalized and clinging to Audrey.
Phoebe couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled. After all, Audrey was her beloved goddaughter, and it seemed strange for Sherlyn to be so attached to Audrey. But deep down, she was happy for Audrey.
Audrey had suffered so much in her life. She deserved to be cherished.
“Why hasn’t my foolish son arrived yet?” Sherlyn murmured.
Sherlyn began to feel annoyed that her son hadn’t shown up yet. She had invited many eligible bachelors from prestigious families, and if Audrey got snatched away by someone else, what would she do?
Her son really needed to be more reliable at crucial times like this.
Sherlyn was getting anxious. She didn’t want to let such a good lady slip away.
Just then, a tall figure approached from a distance.
Seeing the figure, Audrey raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced discreetly at Sherlyn.
“Mom, do you know I have an important match to watch tonight? And you still made me come here!” Cade complained as he approached.
“You brat, am I less important to you than your match?” Sherlyn was furious. How could her son be so thoughtless?
“No, you’re the most important person in my heart. You’re the most beautiful woman in the world!” Cade quickly tried to appease her.
“Well, spare me!” Sherlyn huffed, but there was a smile on her face.
“Audrey, what are you doing here?” Suddenly noticing Audrey, Cade was startled.
Sherlyn’s eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, “You and Audrey know each other? That’s great. I won’t have to introduce
wol
“Mom, when did you become so close to Audrey?” Cade looked puzzled.
“What Audrey? You should be gentle with her Call her Auddie,” Sherlyn said.
With such a good daughter–in–law candidate, Sherlyn wished Cade would seize the opportunity and marry her.
“Mom, are you kidding me? Why are you acting so strange?” Cade asked, feeling puzzled.
“You’re the one acting strange, you brat!” Sherlyn glared at Cade, feeling exasperated.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Audrey, since you know each other, let Cade take you around. We’ll go upstairs to rest!” Phoebe suggested after the others left.
By now, Audrey had discerned the main purpose of this banquet and nodded.
After Phoebe and the others left, Cade scratched his head, still somewhat puzzled.
“Audrey, what are you doing here?” Cade asked.
Thinking of those videos and photos, Cade looked at Audrey with a hint of fear in his
eyes.
Audrey glanced at him indifferently and said casually, “Same reason as you, for a blind date.”
“Oh, what? A blind date?” Cade jumped back in fright, “With you?” Clearly, he was taken. aback.
“Yeah, any problem?” Audrey raised an eyebrow, her gaze cold as she looked at Cade. “I think you’re not bad.”
“No, I’m not good at all. Don’t pick me, please, don’t pick me. Oh, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the restroom!” Cade couldn’t bear to stay any longer. Deep down, he was terrified.
His mother was trying to set him up.

If he really went through with this marriage, he’d be doomed!
Watching Cade flee in panic, Audrey smiled knowingly.
She never expected that Sherlyn was Cade’s mother.
Audrey got up, intending to fi left.
quiet place to stay until Phoebe was done and then
Because she wasn’t familiar with the venue, she ended up in the main banquet hall.
The hall was bustling with activity, filled with many people, socializing and enjoying themselves.
Anyone who could be invited by Katherine was naturally not an ordinary person.
Audrey wasn’t particularly interested in such lively places, so she was about to turn and leave when she spotted two figures in the crowd.
Narrowing her eyes, Audrey’s gaze fell on the two figures, her expression turning. slightly cold.
“Excuse me, Miss, would you like to dance?” A tall figure approached Audrey and extended an invitation.
Audrey’s eyes were cold as she glanced at the man in front of her. “Not interested.”
With that, Audrey turned and walked away.

William knew that Katherine was hosting an event today and had managed to invite the president of Neptune Investment. He had gone to great lengths to obtain this invitation.
Usually, Rebecca would accompany him to such events, but because Sarah was still in the hospital and emotionally unstable, Rebecca had been staying at the hospital to take care of her.
William didn’t tell Rebecca about the event, so he brought a young and beautiful secretary with him instead.
This time, William’s main goal was to meet the president of Neptune Investment. After all, men tended to like young and beautiful women, which was why he brought the secretary along.

However, he didn’t expect the president of Neptune Investment to be so young and handsome. Even more frustrating was that Danny didn’t seem to take him seriously at
all.
“Make sure to find a way to get my on our side, understood?” William said.
The young and beautiful secretary hoped to be noticed by wealthy individuals, so she nodded in agreement.
This was also the reason William chose her.
As long as the secretary could win over the president of Neptune Investment, he certainly wouldn’t treat her unfairly..
Audrey sent a message. [William’s target tonight is you, be careful.]
It didn’t take long for a reply to come through.
Danny: [You’re here too? Why haven’t I seen you?]
Audrey: [Behind you, at three o’clock!]
Danny, who was chatting with others in the crowd, immediately looked towards the back, where a blurry figure was hidden in the shadows.
Danny narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face. Then he said to the others, “Sorry, I have to leave for a moment.”
