Chapter 676 Are You Still Unaware

Audrey turned back to glance at Triston, who bowed his head and remained silent.

He honestly had no idea what Andrea had given his mother. No matter how he tried to persuade his mother these days, she showed no intention of breaking off the engagement.

He didn’t care about the opinions of his family. In the past, he would let it be if they didn’t want to break off the engagement. After all, it was no use in upholding a false reputation. Anyway, they couldn’t force him into a marriage.

However, things were different now; he might not care, but Audrey did. Anything Audrey cared about, he had to take seriously.

Audrey’s gaze fell casually on Andrea, who was walking toward her. “Miss Silva, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here,” she said in a calm tone.

Andrea smiled faintly and gracefully replied, “Not really a coincidence. Miss Swann, I came specifically to visit you but didn’t expect to run into you in the parking lot. Judging by your appearance, are you about to be discharged?”

Andrea always maintained a high posture and was full of smiles, leaving Audrey no choice but to reciprocate. Otherwise, she would have lost and ended up looking bad.

Audrey smiled warmly and said, “Yes. I prepare to go home and recuperate. What a pity. Miss Silva, you won’t be able to visit your fiancé in my ward anymore.”

Triston stood behind Audrey. When he heard the term “fiancé,” beads of cold sweat dripped directly from his forehead. Without thinking, he stepped forward and exclaimed, “I don’t know who Miss Silva’s fiancé is, but it’s not me. I can’t afford a girl like Miss Silva. Please don’t put that kind of label on me.”

His disdainful expression, as if a plague tainted him, made Andrea’s hand clench tightly at her side. She forced herself to swallow the anger and turned to Audrey with a smile. “Miss Swann, since you’re leaving the hospital, how about we find a place for coffee?”

Audrey stood with one hand in her pocket, casting a sidelong glance at Andrea. “Miss Silva, we can’t really be considered friends, can we? If that is the case, why should I give you the face to agree to you?”

Even though Audrey was no big shot, she was a somewhat famous actress, the Swanns’ young lady. Who did Andrea think she was? Why did Audrey have to go just because Andrea invited her?

The smile on Andrea’s face froze at this moment, cracking inch by inch, disappearing.

Andrea didn’t want things to turn awkward, but Audrey wasn’t showing her any respect. “Miss Swann, you aren’t interested in me. But what about Ms. Rachael?” she asked.

Audrey’s gaze turned gloomy as she sharply looked straight at Andrea. ” What do you mean?”

“No hidden meanings. I just want to invite you for a cup of coffee,” Andrea replied.

Audrey didn’t understand why Andrea suddenly brought up her mother, Rachael, but she was sure it wasn’t for anything good. After a brief hesitation, Audrey agreed.

“There’s a place right at the entrance. Let’s go,” she said.

Although Audrey agreed, Andrea didn’t immediately move. She glanced in the direction behind Audrey.

Audrey sensed Andrea’s concern about Triston and turned back to him, saying, “Wait for me in the car.”

Triston initially wanted to refuse but was silenced by a look from Audrey. He shrugged and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Andrea stood aside and observed Triston’s actions. Every time they met before, Triston presented himself as a carefree, domineering figure. Given his background and talent, she always thought that was his true nature.

However, she never expected him to be like this in front of Audrey. He was like a man madly in love. He tenderly cared for Audrey, his every action careful.

Triston knew he could not dissuade Audrey, so he looked at Andrea. However, when his gaze shifted toward Andrea, the warmth turned into a sharpness, like two swords thrusting sharply at Andrea, full of a strong warning.

Andrea silently laughed. Her heart was stung, and she even forgot how to breathe. This was the first time she was satisfied with the future husband her family had arranged, but his heart wasn’t in it.

Triston, not trusting Audrey to walk alone, personally escorted her to the nearby coffee shop before leaving under Audrey’s threatening gaze.

The injury on Audrey’s hand hadn’t healed yet, preventing her from having coffee. She ordered hot water instead. After taking a sip, she calmly said, “He has left. Speak your mind.”

Andrea had tried to contact Triston these days, but she couldn’t reach him no matter how she tried. Triston not only avoided meeting her but also blocked her calls. He even warned his friends that whoever told her about his whereabouts would be cut off.

Triston rarely spoke so sternly within their circle. His casual and good- tempered personality seldom turned this serious. This sudden declaration made everyone silent. After all, no one would dare offend him.

Andrea was forced to turn to Audrey as a last resort. She knew that finding Audrey increased the chances of finding Triston. “Miss Swann, the marriage between Triston and me is beneficial to both our families. It’s inevitable. I advise you to withdraw sooner rather than later.”

Audrey coldly laughed and looked out the window. “Withdraw? Don’t you find it ridiculous?”

She opened her purse, took out a card, and handed it to Andrea. “I’ve acted in plenty of romantic dramas. Today, I’m applying what I’ve learned in reality. I heard the Silvas aren’t doing well economically.”

Andrea’s face immediately darkened, and her words became harsher. “Miss Swann, what do you mean? Are you trying to buy me off?”

Audrey lightly laughed, confidence shining on her face. “Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t stoop so low. There’s ten million dollars in this card. Take it. I’m entrusting you with a task. As long as you can get Triston away and stop him from bothering me, this money is yours.”

It was a ruthless move, causing Andrea’s heart to collapse. Seeing Andrea forcefully suppressing her anger, Audrey was amused and thought, “How dare you say something so offensive to me? You shouldn’t know who my sister is, right?” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Andrea had always considered herself a noble member of Loxton. She looked down on Audrey, thinking she was a parvenu from the countryside.

But how could Audrey, the daughter from the Swanns of Casier, be belittled by someone like Andrea?

If the Silvas were short on money, desperate enough to send their daughter to marry into the Lamberts, then Audrey would use money to strike at Andrea’s pride.

Andrea tried hard to swallow her anger. She initially thought Audrey was weak but never expected her to have such a strong side.

“Miss Swann, with so much money, why do you allow your mother to swagger around using Triston’s name for deception?” asked Andrea.

Audrey’s expression froze, her brows furrowed into a tight knot. “What do you mean?”

“Miss Swann, are you still unaware?” Andrea felt triumphant but looked at Audrey calmly. She then proceeded to reveal everything Rachel had been doing in Casier during this time.
