A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 2

Six years later, in Peace City.

It was April. Cherry blossoms were in full bloom on both sides of the main street. The spring breeze blew off the white petals, which danced around. People walked in the flower shower as if they were passing through a fairyland.

On the large screen of a shopping mall, the latest financial news was being broadcast.

The heir to the Four Seasons Group, Julian Shaw, was being interviewed.

A slender woman stopped in front of the large screen when she saw the interview. She took off her black sunglasses and lightly shook her long curly hair, revealing a stunning face the size of a palm. As she watched, she narrowed her beautiful eyes.

On the screen, a reporter asked Julian a question.

"Mr. Julian, I heard that the Four Seasons Group's Eastwood Branch has been recently involved in an economic dispute. The other party has already filed an appeal after losing the first trial. May I ask if your company is confident in the second trial?"

Julian looked at the camera confidently, "The Four Seasons Group has never done anything illegal, so we will definitely win the second trial."

Looking at Julian's confident face, the woman smiled coldly. She took out a mobile phone from her handbag and dialed a number.

"Hello, Mr. Steele. This is Audrey. Mike has recommended me to your law firm. I happen to have time today. Okay, see you later."

After she hung up the phone, the woman gazed at the large screen again with unfathomable emotions.

Audrey Munn, no, her name was Audrey Koch now. She was back!

She gave a meaningful smile and put her sunglasses back on, turning to leave the shopping mall.

Just then, an old woman appeared from nowhere and grabbed her. "Don't go!"

Audrey felt it was ridiculous, but she didn't put away the old woman.

"Madam, what's the matter?" Audrey asked softly.

These years, even though she had been mostly indifferent, she would always be nice to an old lady.

The old lady blinked and suddenly jumped into Audrey's arms.

"Elliana... You're Elliana!"

Audrey was taken aback. Elliana was her childhood name. How could the old lady know about it?

The old lady held Audrey tightly in her arms and kept on muttering.

"My dear granddaughter, I finally found you."

Audrey was dumbstruck.

What was going on?

Ten bodyguards suddenly rushed over and surrounded them.

The leader stood sweating behind the old lady and asked nervously, "Madam Cordova, are you alright?"

A moment ago, the old lady suddenly ran off. They were scared to death. If anything happened to her, they would be doomed.

Audrey nudged the old lady in her arms and said, "Madam, your people have come for you."

However, the old lady was indifferent to this. She kept holding Audrey tightly, not letting go.

Just as Audrey was about to nudge the old lady in her arms again, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She looked down and saw that the old lady had passed out again.

"Madam, what's the matter?"

Audrey supported the old lady and accidentally stumbled on a stone. She lost her balance and fell backward.

In the nick of time, Audrey held the old lady tight in her arms. The back of her head knocked hard on the shoulder of the road behind her.

Suddenly, she had a blackout.

...

When Audrey woke up, she found she was in a strange room with sophisticated lights.

Just as she was about to sit up, a sharp pain came from behind her neck. She groaned in pain.

Audrey touched the pain behind her neck and slowly sat up. She looked around and found she was in a large room with exquisite furniture.

Where was she? Why was she here?
