Chapter 225
Ryan took the glass of water, and he instructed her, “You should sleep early.”
As Audrey heard the closing door of her bedroom, Ryan lowered his gaze and took a sip of the hot water she had given him. He the
clenched the glass and walked to the guest room. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his jawline tensed. He dialed a number on his phone and spoke in a cold, stern tone.
“I don’t want those people, including Amelia’s manager, who were involved in today’s incident to come out unscathed. Understand?”
When Audrey woke up at seven in the morning and went to brush her teeth, her hand froze upon checking her phone and seeing the top trending news.
Amelia’s manager, Yolanda, who was detained for attempted crime, was beaten unconscious in the detention center and urgently sent to the hospital.
After rinsing her mouth, Audrey leaned against the sink and scrolled through the photos on her phone.
Audrey raised her eyebrows and dialed Taylor’s number. “What’s this tactic? Medical parole? Did Amelia’s manager get medical parole?”
Taylor couldn’t hide his gloating laughter as he spoke. “No. I just got off the phone with the lawyer, and she really got beaten up in jail! I heard that Yolanda was beaten unconscious by the people detained with her. They found out that Yolanda ordered someone to film indecent videos of another girl, so they beat her half to death! Isn’t this a case of the wicked reaping what they sow?”
“Oh…” Audrey responded. Then she heard the beep of another incoming call on the line. Seeing it was an unknown number, she said to Taylor, “I forgot to ask you yesterday. How long did you give Nathan?”
“I gave him a week.”
“We can send Charles to jail now.” Audrey heard the beep of another incoming call again. It was the same number as before. She said through the phone, “I have to hang up now. There’s another call.”
“Alright! Charles won’t escape for stealing trade secrets! As for the vicious act the of your ex–husband’s fiancee did, don’t worry, I will make sure to get her the harshest. punishment through legal means,” Taylor said.

After hanging up, Audrey answered the other call and pushed open the bathroom door to

walk out.
“Hello, who’s this?”

Amelia’s voice came through the call and her tone was faintly tinged with cries. “Audrey! I’ve heard about what happened to Yolanda. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Yolanda wanted to hurt you because of me! Audrey, I know it’s too much to ask now, but can you forgive Yolanda?“”
Audrey held the glass of water and walked out of the bedroom. She said into the phone, “I thought you should be more concerned about Nathan. I didn’t expect you to have time to worry about your manager.”
In fact, when Audrey received Amelia’s call, she though
Amelia had seen the trending news from the night before and wanted to ask if she had already told Matteo that Amelia wasn’t the one who saved him years ago in Itaylio.
She didn’t expect Amelia to call to plead for her manager.
Amelia sobbed. “I do want to help with Nathan’s situation, but didn’t you meet with Matteo last night? I have no way out now. Yolanda has been helping me since I debuted! All I can do for Yolanda now is to come to you for help! Please, Audrey. After all, nothing happened to you. Yolanda is bleeding in her brain now. She just had surgery and is still in danger.”
Audrey calmly added water to her glass. “Amelia, have you ever thought about what would have happened last night if I hadn’t been lucky enough to discover someone following me? Maybe now your manager would be threatening me with the video of my attack while I’m lying in the hospital bed! I was lucky to find out early and avoid any harm! Your manager was determined to spend money to harm me! Instead of pleading with me, you’d better find a good lawyer for your manager. I will definitely sue her for the harshest punishment.”
With that, Audrey hung up the phone and blocked Amelia’s number. She picked up the glass of water, drank it all, and glanced toward the guest room. She wondered if Ryan had woken.
