Chapter 146
The usually carefree Daphine thought of her child at home.
She tugged at Justin’s sleeve and spoke softly, “Could you have the housekeeper bring the child to my mom’s place? I got pregnant around the same time as Audrey, but her child didn’t make it. I don’t
want Audrey to feel sad when she sees the child.”
“My wife is truly wise!” Justin praised Daphne.
Meanwhile, Audrey was chatting with her seniors when she got a call from Diego. He had asked both her and Joseph to go to the auditorium.
After hanging up, Audrey said, “I’ll go ahead.”
“Sure! You and Joseph go first. We’ll join you after we change!” Daphine replied.
Joseph was originally heading to the venue but ran into Audrey, which delayed him.
“Okay!” Audrey nodded.
As they walked along the tree–lined path on campus, Joseph hesitated before asking her, “My cousin mentioned seeing you in Mythravia, and you were with a girl.”
Audrey didn’t mind Joseph’s inquiry and smiled at him. “What do you want to know?”
Joseph scratched his head. “Sorry, Audrey, I’m just a bit curious. I admit my cousin asked me to ask, but I won’t tell him! It’s just…”
“It’s okay.” Audrey smiled. “The child isn’t his! I’ve always said that the child isn’t Nathan’s.”
Joseph nodded. “Okay, I won’t say anything.”
The wind rustled through the leaves, creating a soothing sound.
Joseph and Audrey walked side by side, feeling the silence becoming too awkward.
Joseph scratched his head as he tried to find something to say. “Oh, by the way, the Sheysea Graduate School swimming team is coming to compete with our swimming team this afternoon. Do you want to go and watch?”
“I’m not going. I’m heading back to Sheysea this afternoon.”
Joseph nodded, unsure of what else to say to Audrey. He lowered his head and didn’t notice the basketball flying from the playground.
“Be careful!‘
There was a shout from the playground.
Audrey quickly reached out to block the basketball, and it hit her elbow hard before bouncing off.
Joseph was a bit stunned.

The boys playing basketball ran over, picking up the basketball and apologizing.
“Sorry…”
One of the boys saw Audrey and suddenly pointed at her. “Are you Audrey?”
Audrey hadn’t seen the boy before. “And you are?”
Seeing Audrey confirm her identity, the boy smirked and glanced at his companions before looking back at Audrey.
“I’m from Sheysea University. It’s unexpected to see you here at Cloudmill University.”
Audrey’s expression darkened, and she said to Joseph, “Let’s go…”
“Where are you going? Are you afraid that your secrets from Sheysea University will be exposed?”
The boy clapped the basketball in his hand and smirked at Joseph. “Let me tell you… Don’t be fooled by Audrey’s pretty face. She’s quite wild at Sheysea University. Who knows how many people she’s slept with!
“She even drugged by the heir of the Franklin family, leaving her naked photos plastered everywhere. If you’re interested, you can ask her how much she charges for a night. Just sleep with her but don’t get attached…”
Before Audrey could speak, Joseph punched the boy in the face.
“Bullshit!” Joseph pinned the boy down and started throwing punches.
The students playing basketball nearby noticed the commotion and rushed over.
“Stop it!” Audrey tried to pull Joseph away but was pushed back by his burning rage.
Seeing the Sheysea University students pinning Joseph down, students from Cloudmill University immediately jumped in to defend their peer.
“Damn it! We came to Cloudmill University for a match, not to get beaten up by your people!”
