Chapter 44: This Is Good Too

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the reporter’s camera turned to them, there was a moment of pause.

For one thing, Evans was too tall, and for another, the pink bear mask on his face was too out of place.

Audrey sensed that the reporter’s camera had stopped for too long. She tilted her head and glanced at Evans. When she saw the tall and burly Evans wearing such a cute mask, she couldn’t help but laugh.

She did not laugh out loud. Her mouth and nose were covered tightly by a mask, and only her bright eyes were filled with a smile.

Evans tilted his head and met such a pair of eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and his gaze froze.

Audrey stiffened slightly. After retracting her gaze, she kept wanting to say something to ease the awkwardness. With this thought in mind, she spoke.

“I never expected Tina to call so many people over?” Audrey was really shocked.

Evans looked at the crowd who were so excited that they were about to knock on the door. After pressing the doorbell for so long, there was still no movement inside. The hotel manager panicked and quickly got someone to go down and get the room card.

Evans did not know what was going on behind this door, but he knew very well that once this door was opened, the reputation of the people inside would be ruined.

Linda was nothing to be afraid of, but Jerry…

He and Audrey were truly at loggerheads. Even if Abner didn’t help him, he still had the Rick family behind him.

Evans looked at Audrey, who was focused on watching the show, and said helplessly, “What are you shocked about? Isn’t this your work?”

Audrey turned to look at Evans. She had a nagging feeling that Evans’s words sounded strange. From the content, it sounded like he was shaping her, but his tone didn’t sound like it.

[You’re making me sound like an unscrupulous bad woman. Sigh, but this is good too. Stay away from me when you see my ugly face.]

[Should I add fuel to the fire?]

Evans was getting a headache. What kind of terrifying impression did he have in Audrey’s eyes? Why was she avoiding him so determinedly?

He decided to play along, acting as though nothing was amiss, and diverted his gaze, waiting to see how Audrey would further fan the flames.

“Tina even brought her mother into the mix. The scene we’ll witness when that door opens will be quite a spectacle. Can you imagine what the Rofus Family and the Rick Family will do?” Audrey couldn’t resist indulging her penchant for dramatics, her tone tinged with smugness.

Evans gave her a sidelong glance and responded in an impassive tone, “If this gets exposed, the only way to quell the gossip might be to arrange a marriage between the two of them.”

Audrey replied with an exaggerated “oh” and continued to play the role of a conniving instigator. She adopted a sinister tone, saying, “That would be such a pitiful fate for Linda. I’ve heard Jerry is quite the ladies’ man. After this, he’ll probably believe he fell into a trap set by Linda. Marrying him would only make Linda’s life even more miserable, right?”

[I have to give you full marks for your acting. Maybe I should ask Daniel to cast me in a malicious supporting role next time. Talking like this is actually quite enjoyable.]

Evans: “. .. I‘

“Madam Caroline’s words hold significant sway within the Rick Family. With some thought, they’ll likely deduce who’s behind this affair. At that point, you’ll be facing the entire Rick Family,” Evans calmly stated. “Furthermore, they’ll probably seek Abner’s involvement in this matter.”

Audrey’s smile froze on her face, satisfied with her acting performance thus far.

She hadn’t originally intended to provoke Jerry, but he proved to be an inescapable nuisance. Enduring someone like him repeatedly was fruitless.

But her older brother…

[He won’t help them, will he? My older brother is a reasonable person…]

The more Audrey pondered, the more strained her expression became. Marriage was a significant matter, after all. If Jerry were truly coerced into marrying Linda, would her brother still support her?

She recalled the account of the original owner’s fate in the book. Could it be that, regardless of how vigilant she remained, she was destined to be ensnared by it?

Evans had only meant to tease her, driven by her excessive enthusiasm for acting. He never anticipated that his words would genuinely perturb Audrey.

What he didn’t realize was that Audrey harbored a degree of apprehension regarding her brother, all because of what she had read in a book.

“The last time Jerry was hospitalized, you saw Abner’s stance,” Evans ventured to soothe her, unable to stand seeing her so distressed.

Oddly enough, Audrey had been contemplating the same thing. She had immense faith in Abner’s character. She glanced at Evans, sensing that there were things she wished to express but didn’t dare to voice. Instead, she relegated her grievances to her inner thoughts.

[You’re quite skilled. You just mentioned how my older brother might scare me, but now you’re pretending to console me.]

Evans felt a pang of injustice. His words of comfort had been entirely earnest..
