“But
Before Carol could say anything, Ryan spoke again, “And on the day Nathan and Audrey got their marriage certificate, they had a car accident. After the Franklin family paid for the surgery expenses and learned that Audrey was likely to become a vegetable, you abandoned her, wanting her to fend for herself.
“Now that Audrey has become a part of the Lambert family, you dare to come begging the Lambert Corporation for help?”
Carol’s face turned extremely sour, unable to deny the truth in Ryan’s words.
“If Audrey had lost her life back then, the Franklin Group would have ceased to exist.” Ryan waved to the security guards patrolling in the distance, signaling them to come over.
The head security guard hurriedly approached. “Mr. Lambert.”
“This lady is not a guest. Please escort her out with some courtesy,” Ryan said indifferently.
“Ryan! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose your relationship with Audrey? You’ll be accused of trying to swallow the Lambert family’s fortune by scheming to make Audrey a part of the Lambert family!
“Wouldn’t Mr. Lambert Senior start to doubt you when he hears these rumors?” Carol’s face
was extremely unpleasant.
Ryan chuckled lightly. “No wonder the Franklin Group has come to this signaled to the head security guard. “Escort her out.”

“Mr. Lambert! Mr. Lambert! I just wanted us to keep cooperating with the Lambert Corporation like before. Why did it have to turn into us being rivals?” Carol’s eyes were panicked.
“Rivals? The Franklin Group doesn’t even have the qualifications to rival the Lambert Corporation. Don’t overestimate yourself. Drag her out. If she refuses to leave from the back door, then throw her out from the main entrance, where all the reporters are,” Ryan said before turning and leaving.
“Ryan! Ryan!”
Ryan paid no heed to Carol’s cries.
The security guards surrounded Carol, forcing her to retreat.

Just as she left through the back door of the banquet hall, she saw Audrey exiting as well. She hurriedly called out, “Audrey!”
Audrey glanced back at Carol–who was being escorted out by the security guards–before ignoring her and heading toward the restroom.
Carol gritted her teeth. She cursed Audrey inwardly, feeling she had become arrogant.
Audrey was washing her hands in the restroom when she saw Cecilia enter to touch up her makeup.
After accepting the towel handed to her by the attendant, she smiled and nodded at Cecilia.
“Congratulations!” Cecilia approached Audrey as she took out her compact powder.
Cecilia was dressed in a short aqua–blue cocktail dress with a white fitted blazer, looking just as sharp and competent as she did a few years ago.
“You already congratulated me in the banquet hall just now.” Audrey smiled.
“That’s different. At the banquet hall, it was the third daughter of the Shaw Family congratulating you. I’m now personally congratulating you.”
Cecilia put the compact powder back in her handbag and stared at Audrey. “Can we talk?”
Audrey nodded. “Sure.”
