Chapter 186
“Did Mr. Lambert Senior ask Mommy to join the Lambert Corporation?” Dallas knew Audrey always heeded George’s advice. “But Mommy’s favorite place is the lab. Are you not going to the lab anymore?”
Audrey pinched Dallas‘ cheek. “Mommy can handle both; you don’t need to worry about

The doorbell rang just then.
