Chapter 261
“Does Julian know about this?” Audrey asked.
“Julian is very busy, and it’s not appropriate to bother him for such trivial matters,” the bodyguard replied.
She nodded and smiled. “If you need anything, just knock on the door, and I’ll bring it out
for you.”
“Okay. Thank you, Ms. Yeomans.”
Audrey returned to the couch in her slippers and saw an incoming call.
She picked up the phone and saw that it was from Peter. She answered, “Hello?”
“Hello, is this Ms. Yeomans? I’m sorry, I’m Peter’s girlfriend. Today, when we
we were having dinner, a Mr. Franklin suddenly came out and started a fight with Peter.
“It seems that Mr. Franklin misunderstood the relationship between you and Peter and said he wanted to make Peter spend some time in jail. I don’t know what to do, but I thought Mr. Franklin might know you. So I was wondering, could you please explain the situation to him?
Audrey was taken aback. Mr. Franklin?
“Is the person called Nathan?” she asked.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Peter’s girlfriend exclaimed, “Their lawyer said they want to make Peter spend time in jail. I begged him to stop, but he wouldn’t listen. I really don’t know what to
do.”
“Alright, I understand. Which police station are you at? I’ll come over now.
“At the Northern Liberty Police Department.”
It wasn’t far from Audrey’s place.
“I’ll be there in about 15 to 20 minutes.”
Audrey changed her clothes and had the bodyguard take her to the police station.
As Audrey reached the police station, she immediately recognized the girl spinning anxiously with a backpack–it was Peter’s girlfriend.
Audrey got out of the car with her handbag and approached the girl.
Their eyes met, and the girl quickly descended the steps when she saw the bodyguard
accompanying Audrey.
“Hello, I’m Peter’s girlfriend, Evelyn. Are you Ms. Yeomans?” the girl asked nervously.
Audrey nodded. “What’s going on?”
Tears started streaming down Evelyn’s face before she could speak. “Peter and I were having dinner, and Mr. Franklin suddenly came out and attacked Peter.
‘He kept asking if Peter had done something to upset you. Peter didn’t fight back at first because he knew it was a misunderstanding. It was only when that man started insulting me that Peter fought back!”
As Evelyn spoke, Edmond and Nathan emerged from the police station.
as the
Edmond followed closely behind Nathan, chattering walked out.
“My dear Mr. Franklin, the most important thing now is Evergreen Biotech. How could you get into a fight because of Ms. Yeomans’s bodyguard?
“He’s just a bodyguard! If this makes it to the news, people might think you’re fighting a bodyguard over a woman!”
Nathan’s hand was in his pocket, his expression impatient as he rubbed his chapped lip with
his thumb.
– He was about to light a cigarette between his lips when he looked up and saw Audrey. His
steps halted as he stared in astonishment.
The soft orange glow of the streetlamp outlined Audrey’s slender figure.
She was dressed in a black camisole layered with a white long–sleeved shirt, black trousers, and white sneakers. Her slightly curled long hair cascaded over her shoulders.
She was handing a tissue to the girl who was sobbing, her lips moving as if offering words of
comfort.
As he saw Audrey, his heartbeat quickened abruptly.
It was as if nothing else existed around them. In Nathan’s eyes, there was only Audrey under the streetlamp.
He lowered his hand, his breath uneven, and his eyes suddenly reddened.
