Chapter 276
Nathan’s breath quickened.
His grip on the glass tightened, and tears glistened in his eyes.
George stood beside Audrey, filled with pride and joy.
After finishing their speeches, he walked down from the stage with Audrey’s support and took his seat at the main table.
Carol’s gaze followed George and Audrey closely.
She turned to Nathan and asked, “Is Audrey’s child truly not yours? Haven’t you recovered your memories?”
Nathan’s chest tightened at the sound of Carol’s voice. He remembered drugging Audrey and wanting her to conceive a child with someone else.
He now wished he could kill himself for it.
He tugged at his tie. “You used to look down on Audrey for being a village girl from Sayeno Town. Now seeing that half of the Lambert family’s assets might belong to Audrey in the future, do you regret forcing us to divorce?”
Carol felt a pang in her chest at Nathan’s accusation. Who was she doing all this for? Wasn’t
it for her son?
Carol sneered. “Nathan, it wasn’t me who made you divorce Audrey. You got into a car accident the day you got your marriage certificate. And it was you who kept pressuring Audrey to divorce you after she woke up. I had nothing to do with it.”
Nathan’s heart sank. Indeed, it was he who had insisted on divorcing Audrey.
He was the one who pressured Audrey to marry him, and he was also the one who pressured
her into divorcing him.
Nathan could hardly restrain his emotions. He tightly closed his eyes, clenched his fists for a moment, and then left the banquet hall.
In this situation, Nathan couldn’t bring himself to discuss future collaboration plans with Ryan.
“Nathan!” Hugo called out but didn’t go after him.
He had come to George’s birthday banquet to network with the people in Mythravia.

Carol looked toward Audrey and George, her mind starting to wander.
Even though Audrey divorced Nathan, the Franklin family had raised Audrey for many years.
Since the Lambert family suddenly gained an adult adopted daughter. Shouldn’t they compensate the Franklin family in return?
Carol made up her mind and looked at Ryan, who was pulling out a chair for Audrey.
She tightened her grip on her handbag, preparing to find a moment to talk to Ryan.
Soon after, she saw Ryan heading to the restroom and hurriedly followed him out of the banquet hall. Seizing the opportunity, she called out to him, “Mr. Lambert!”
Ryan turned around, still maintaining his reserved demeanor. “What are you doing here?”
Ryan knew that George only allowed Edward to send the invitation to the Stewart family.
Carol flinched under his watchful gaze. For some reason, even though Ryan was much younger than her, she always felt overwhelming pressure whenever she faced him.
“I came here with Hugo.” Carol stood before Ryan, getting straight to the point. “Now that Audrey has become Mr. Lambert Senior’s granddaughter, you haven’t forgotten that she grew up in our family, right?
“She’s so remarkable and still closely tied to our family. The Franklin Group is currently in a difficult situation because of Evergreen Biotech. Maybe the Lambert Corporation can help us get through it, considering Audrey’s connection.”
Ryan didn’t react much to Carol’s words.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and put his hands in his pockets, smiling ambiguously.
“When Audrey lived with your family, the Lambert family covered all her expenses. Back then, didn’t the Lambert Corporation support the Franklin Group to ensure Audrey was well
taken care of?
“If it weren’t for the Lambert Corporation, would the Franklin Group be where it is today?”
