Chapter 48
Audrey clenched her fists.
“I’m not considering it at the moment.”
“Rumors are spreading wildly on the Internet. Your current notoriety has affected Ryan in the Industry.“George frowned. “Do you wish to drag the Lambert family into it eventually?”
“I never thought about it like that…
“To protect Wanda, I’ve always claimed you’re a relative from Ryan’s original family.”
George finally turned to look at Audrey, his desolate eyes steely. “If Ryan continues helping you, it will arouse suspicion. Please don’t bother him or contact anyone related to the Lambert family again.” Audrey swallowed her words and agreed, “Okay, I get it. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again.” Although Ryan helped her of his own will, she had accepted his assistance. It was irrefutable. Even if George hadn’t come to her, she didn’t dare see Ryan again after what happened that night.
Seeing that Audrey understood, George didn’t say more. He didn’t mind that she wasn’t moving ‘abroad.
As a condition for canceling the marriage with the Shaw family, he would send Ryan abroad to settle the cooperation rights for the company. The company’s business would trap him there for a while, leaving him no time to care about Audrey.
“The password is six zeros.” George handed her a card from his pocket. He continued, “I will settle the matter on the internet for you and suppress the hype.”
“Mr. Lambert,” Audrey interrupted slowly. “I will resolve the issue myself. The rumors should subside after the broadcast of tonight’s program. I promise not to implicate the Lambert family.”
She pushed the card back to him. “I can’t accept your money. The Lambert family has helped me a lot over the years. I’m grateful. I wish you and your family health and peace. Goodbye!”
As he was her biological grandfather, Audrey’s well wishes were genuine.
She got out of the car and closed the door, then watched the black car leave.
Watching Audrey in the rearview mirror, Edward said to George, “Mr. Lambert, are we really not suppressing the hype on the Internet? Ms. Yeomans is currently the target of public outrage.”
Having worked for George for decades, Edward was well aware of Audrey’s background.
“Since she doesn’t want the help, let her handle it herself. As long as Ryan and the Lambert family
aren’tinvolved, let her be at the center of it all.”
George closed his eyes. Despite his callous tone, his gaze was complex.
Audrey’s young features resembled Wanda’s, though their personalities and demeanors were a world
apart.
George was old when he had become a father to Wanda, so he had always doted on her. His
overprotection had raised a kind and innocent person who was ignorant of the world. She was easily
deceived.
On the contrary, Audrey’s gaze was gentle yet firm. He found it familiar, like his wife’s in her youth.
If Audrey was Wanda’s legitimate daughter, George would have adored and trained her up like he had with Ryan.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t so magnanimous that he would accept a child of the bastard who had humiliated, abused, and harmed his precious daughter.
George looked out the window.
As long as his precious daughter wasn’t involved, he couldn’t care less about Audrey’s life.
Upon arriving at the restaurant at 7:30 pm, Daphne turned to ask the group, “Why don’t we sit in the hall? The second half of ‘Looking For Family‘ will be on tonight!”
