Chapter 224
She was ignited so easily by Ryan. She even found herself anticipating what might happen
next.
Had her psychological trauma unknowingly healed over time, or was it Ryan’s dominant nature that had healed her?
Blushing, Audrey tucked her hair behind her ear and picked up her handbag and Matteo’s suit from the floor. She recalled Ryan’s dark expression when he was on the phone just now. She was unsure if he was jealous.
If she were to be with Ryan, they would undoubtedly face significant troubles and pressures in the future.
After all, Ryan was the adopted son of the Lambert family.
Even if Ryan were to leave the Lambert family, there was no denying the fact.
Audrey liked Ryan. However, she didn’t know if she had the courage to face future troubles and pressures. She also didn’t know if she had the courage to resist George.
Unable to sleep after taking a shower, Audrey tossed and turned in bed. She wondered if Ryan planned to sleep in the guest room.
As she was about to get out of bed to go to the kitchen for water, she was startled to see Ryan standing outside with a towel around his neck and wet hair.
“Was Amelia’s manager trying to harm you?” Ryan’s phone was still lit up. It seemed he had just hung up.
Audrey nodded. “I didn’t want to tell you to worry you.”
“Are you
hurt?” Ryan pulled Audrey out of the dim bedroom into the living room and sat her down on the couch to check her.
Audrey responded to Ryan’s examination while saying, “I’m fine. They didn’t lay a finger on me. As soon as I went downstairs, I noticed someone was tailing me. So, I had Taylor call some people to beat them up and send them to the police station. It also caused Amelia’s manager to trend on social media,”
As Ryan examined and confirmed that Audrey was fine, he sat on the coffee table with a frown. His stern and narrow eyes looked at Audrey, silent, as if lost in thought.
If Audrey were to be with him, they might still face such situations.
Are you scared?” Ryan asked.
Audrey shook her head. With a hint of a smile in her tone, she said, “I have nothing to be afraid of, I thought her methods were too low–level, and she even left such a big evidence. As long as I don’t agree to settle, I can get her at least three years in prison.”
Hiring someone to harm others was indeed a low–level tactic. If one ever wanted to deal with someone, never use methods that would leave evidence.
Just like Audrey, if she wanted to deal with Charles, she wouldn’t simply hire someone to do it. As long as she led him astray and set traps for him in advance, he would dig his own grave.
Ryan’s expression turned cold. His eyes behind the lenses were calm and they showed no signs of emotion. After a while, he said, “You should go to bed.”
Andrey looked at Ryan’s still damp hair and nodded. “Remember to dry your hair before sleeping.”
the She went to the kitchen to pour herself a cup of hot water. She saw Ryan still sitting on coffee table and poured another cup for him as well. She walked over and handed him the cup of hot water.
