Chapter 223
Chapter 223
The atmosphere became tense after Nick left. Louis and his wife both looked vacant.
They had heard Nick's words.
They knew that the opponent they faced this time was powerful and the chance to win was small.
Audrey knew what they were worried about.
"Maria!" Audrey held on tightly to her hand. "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. There is still hope to win."
"But we have already lost the lawsuit. How can we win?" Maria let out another long sigh.
Audrey smiled. "Maria, before the verdict is out, you can appeal. Once you do, the case will be reopened. There is still chance to win at the second trial."
"Nick had quitted. Where are we going to find another lawyer?" Louis looked dejected.
Maria held Audrey's hand excitedly.
"Audrey, do you mean it? We can still win?"
"Of course, Maria, let me handle it. But I can't appear in court since the defense lawyer is my colleague. However, I can find a reliable lawyer for you. I will assist besides, and we will win."
"That's so nice of you but you are now ... a great lawyer. I'm afraid we can't afford..." Maria hesitated.
Audrey smiled. "Maria, don't mention the fees. You've managed stuff for my grandma for so many years. Take it as the storage costs that you deserve."
Maria looked at Audrey emotionally.
"Audrey, thank you so much."
Hearing Audrey's generous offer, Louis and his wife thanked her excitedly in repeat.
Audrey gave the money from Nick to Maria and asked them to pay the medical fees.
The Browns left. Audrey called Bryson.
The call was quickly connected.
"What's up? Are you on the plane?" Audrey asked briskly.
"Yes, I just got on the plane. It will take off in 5 minutes."
Audrey immediately said, "Your flight will arrive at Peace City in an hour. I will go to the airport to pick you up now."
"It's so late, so it's not safe for..." Bryson wanted to say that it was not safe at this late hour, but after thinking about Audrey's moves, he changed his mind, "Alright, then be careful."
"Don't worry!"
...
Audrey grabbed a taxi and headed to the airport as soon as she finished the call.
Audrey arrived at the airport in advance. She waited and soon heard the announcement from the loudspeaker, saying the flight had landed off.
Audrey went to the exit, waiting eagerly for Bryson to come out.
At this time, a girl besides her suddenly looked at her phone and shouted excitedly, "Wow..."
Another girl asked, "What's going on?"
"It's Bryson. Bryson is sitting on this plane too."
"Really? Bryson is on this plane too? Gosh, I have never seen him in real life."
"I heard that he is more handsome in real life. I am going crazy. I am going to see Bryson."
Someone nearby heard the girl's voice and went crazy too. Everyone was originally here to pick up someone else. When they heard that Bryson was also on this plane, they were all excited and waited to see him.
Audrey was speechless.
About ten minutes later, Bryson finally showed up at the exit of the airport.
He was immediately surrounded by crazy fans who kept calling him hubby.
Audrey was stunned at what she saw.
She let Bryson be surrounded by the girls without saying anything.
Bryson looked at Audrey from afar. Audrey stuck out her tongue and made a face at him.
Fortunately, Bryson had bodyguards by his side. Very quickly, he got rid of those crazy fans and got into the car.
After seeing Bryson leave, those crazy fans didn't follow him.
The car suddenly stopped after driving for a while.
Audrey, who was standing by the side of the road, seeing that no one was looking at them, quickly got into the car from the back door.
She sighed, "Girls nowadays are really passionate."
"Why didn't you come over just now?" Bryson narrowed his eyes and stared at the girl beside him.
Audrey blinked innocently.
"You have so many wives staring at you. How would I dare to go over? If I went over, they would skin me alive!"
At the thought of Bryson's crazy fans, Audrey trembled.
Bryson glanced at her. "Since when have you become so timid?"
Audrey propped up her cheeks with both hands. "I've always been a gentle girl who is weak!"
Bryson was speechless.
And then he smirked.
If she was a gentle girl, then every girl in the world was.
Seeing Bryson frown at herself, Audrey glared at him unhappily. "Why are you looking at me that way? Am I wrong?"
"No," Bryson said with a smile.
"Then do you think I'm a gentle girl or a rough man?" Audrey pointed at Bryson's nose seriously. "Don't lie!"
"Gentle girl!"
Kolby was speechless.
He thought, 'Mr. Bryson, you are lying through your teeth. This is terrible!'
Although it was Bryson was the one to be picked up, he wanted to send Audrey home first.
Audrey got off the car at the entrance of her neighborhood.
Before left, she reminded the driver to bring Bryson back to the Cordova Mansion safely.
"No problem, Ms. Audrey." Said the driver.
Audrey turned to Bryson and waved him goodbye, asking him to give her a call when he arrived home.
"Ok." Bryson suddenly continued, "My parents will be back from Europe next month."
Audrey was quiet for a moment.
'His parents will come back from abroad the next month. What does this mean?' she wondered.
Before she figured it out, Bryson continued his words.
"They had known from Mr. Shane that I've got a girlfriend and would like to meet you when they are back."
Audrey was shocked at what she just heard.
'What the...!"
"My parents like to drink tea. That's all!" Bryson added,
Then he rolled up the window.
Audrey said nothing.
She watched Bryson's car disappear into the night.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
