Hearing that, Nicole immediately listened keenly.
“Auntie Audrey, so you do know Xander, right? Do you know anyone from the Dons?"
Audrey no longer said anything. She just put down her chopsticks and whispered, “Take your time. I go upstairs.”
“Auntie Audrey ...”
Seeing her like this, Nicole felt that she might have been abrupt just now. But did she really have anything to do with the Dons?
If Xander’s girlfriend and she were sisters, did she know what happened to the illegitimate son or daughter of the Dons back then?
This haunted the old lady of the Dons. If Nicole could find out about it, it would be great. But the premise was that Audrey was willing to say it herself.
However, seeing Audrey's current state, it was obvious that she didn't want to say anything.
Nicole felt that she shouldn't have asked so directly just now.
She looked at the food on the table which was almost untouched. It was her fault.
Nicole also had no appetite.
She put away the food and tidied up the kitchen.
Now that Audrey had locked herself up in her room alone, she had nothing to do. The main reason was that she could not go out yet. It would be troublesome if someone found out her.
Not only did it implicate Audrey, it could also involve Samuel in it.
Nicole looked at the empty room and felt a little lonely.
No wonder Audrey's painting style always captured a trace of sadness. If a person stayed in such a house for a long time, she would probably be lonely.
Nicole came to the coffee table and looked at her draft. Now, it seemed that this was the only thing she could do.
She sat down again and began to draw.
Last time, the Brooks had already taken all the right of the car cooperation project with the Greens. However, the Greens got nothing. Now that she was the matriarch of the Greens and Samuel's wife, it was reasonable for her to draw a few design drawings the family.
Nicole put all her energy into the sketch.
Audrey came out.
She saw Nicole's serious expression, as if she had seen herself many years ago. She used to work so hard and hoped to change her life with the pencil in her hand.
But she did not expect that she would succeed and lose her lover.
Audrey leaned against the stairs, her eyes blurring with tears.
Xander!
Twenty years had passed. She thought that she could stay calm when she heard this name again, but she didn’t expect that her heart would still hurt so badly.
Back then, he had left so resolutely that he didn’t even have the chance to speak to her personally. He had joined the army without hesitation, leaving her nowhere to find him.
It had been almost thirty years, and this man had been dead. But she still felt heartache because of his name.
How come?
Audrey looked at Nicole's back and was lost in thought.
This girl was related to the Dons, and even has a good relationship with them. Should she keep her?
Not knowing what to do, Audrey left the villa with a sigh.
Nicole did not know that Audrey had left. Instead, she concentrated on drawing. Once she finished, she realized that it was already noon.
She was a little hungry. She went to the kitchen to make some food and then went to find Audrey. Only then did she know that Audrey was not at home.
She didn't even know when Audrey left.
Nicole felt that she might have hurt Audrey.
Why did she suddenly ask that question?
However, it was awful to keep it to herself.
Nicole left some food and then went back to revise her design.
The day passed quickly. Audrey had never returned, and Nicole had nowhere to look. She arranged her sketches and sent them to the Design Section of the Eternal Group by a fax machine.
After receiving the sketches, the Design Section began to study them together with Samuel once he confirmed. And then they put them into production, and applied for patents.
Nicole called Samuel and casually told him about Audrey. Samuel was a little surprised and told her not to act rashly. This matter should be discussed when they returned home.
"It’s impossible for me to act recklessly now. Auntie Audrey has gone out and hasn't returned yet.”
Nicole was a little annoyed.
However, Samuel said worriedly, “She won't reveal your whereabouts, right?”
“No. Auntie Audrey bears me no grudge. She is very kind to me. When I see her, I think of my mother. I wonder if she has returned yet.”
When Samuel heard what Nicole said, he whispered, "Yes, she has. Jason has called to tell me that everyone has arrived in the Seapolis City. They are currently under Jason's protection.’
"Isn't Zama still in the Dons? If she meets your mother, will something happen?”
Nicole thought of this now.
Only then did Samuel say, "Zama escaped.”
“What?”
Jason said, "The day after we left, Zama fled. No one knows where she is now. The Greens is in a mess. The directors of the company seem to be restless. I can't stay here for too long. I have to deal with the matter as soon as possible before I return. Otherwise, the Greens will be in a chaos."
All the things happened at the same time, which made Samuel think that maybe it was Allen who was behind it.
Nicole was anxious, but she couldn't do anything.
"Damn! If my identity is still available, I might be useful if I go back.”
“It’s fine. I'll take care of it. Don't worry.”
Didn't Audrey say that very few people would come here?
Why did she just happen to meet Viola?
However, this was the home of Viola's mother. What could she say?
Nicole paused for a moment and said, "I met Auntie Audrey a few days ago, and we were very close to each other. Auntie Audrey put me up for a few days.”
Viola was stunned again.
"You know my mother? Nicole, it can’t be that you stayed here without asking for permission, right?"
“If you don’t believe me, you can call Auntie Audrey.”
Nicole did not know Audrey's phone number, but Viola did, which was why Nicole said so.
“Do you really think I won't?"
Viola hurriedly took out her phone and called Audrey.
“Mom, there is a woman here. Did you let her live here?"
Viola's words made Nicole blush.
But what could she say now?
Audrey paused for a moment and said, "Well, yes, she is my guest. You can't be rude to her, can you?”
“But Mom, you never let outsiders stay here. Even I can't stay here. Why does she?"
The balance of Viola's mind was disturbed.
This time, it was Nicole's turn to be shocked. What couldn't Viola stay here?
Weren't they mother and daughter?
If they were, why would they live separately?
Nicole did not understand it, but Viola's hateful gaze shot straight at her.
“Mom, when are you coming back? I'm right at the door.”
There was a hint of coquetry in Viola's voice.
After hanging up the phone, Viola coldly said to Nicole, "I don’t know why my mother likes you. Listen! Don't play any tricks in front of my mother. If you let her know about my attention of getting Samuel, I won't spare! Understand?"
Nicole was a little guilty of Viola just now, but when she heard what she said, a burst of anger suddenly arose.
“Viola, I already said that Samuel is my husband. There are so many good men in the world. Can't you go find someone else?”
“No! Don't trick me. Husband? Now you are an unregistered citizen without any ID. How dare you say that Samuel is your husband?"
Viola's words stunned Nicole.
How did she know about this?
