He was surprised to hear Bryson's voice.
"Uncle Bryson? Why are you answering Audrey's phone?" Simon asked in confusion.
"Answer my question!"
Simon remained silent.
Answer? How should he answer that?
Simon's mind raced, "Uncle Bryson, the signal here is suddenly weak. Uncle? I can't hear your voice!
I'm afraid my phone doesn't work..."
Then Bryson only heard a beep.
Audrey really admired Simon now.
He was indeed quick-witted.
Bryson returned Audrey's phone and dialed another number with his phone.
With her sharp eyes, Audrey saw that the person Bryson was calling was surnamed 'Randall'.
Soon, Bryson got through.
As expected, the person he called was his brother-in-law.
Bryson told his brother-in-law where Simon was now.
While they were talking, Audrey heard Bryson's brother-in-law say with extreme anger that he would
definitely give Simon a lesson. Then the conversation was over.
After hanging up the phone, Bryson maintained a poker face, as if he didn't do anything.
Audrey didn't know what to say.
She could picture the scene Simon was beaten by his father.
She didn't expect that Bryson looked upright, but he would rat on Simon in front of her.
Seeing that Bryson was about to turn to look at her, she immediately looked towards the window and
pretended to have heard nothing.
She couldn't let Bryson find that she knew he did something bad. Even if Bryson asked, nothing heard
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwould be her answer.
As a lawyer, she should always tell the truth. But ever since she met Bryson, she found herself violating
professional ethics again and again.
Her phone rang again.
She checked it and found it was Kylee.
She picked up the phone at once.
"Grandma, we're on our way home. We'll be back soon."
"Don't come home for dinner tonight!"
Audrey was confused.
She frowned and whispered to Bryson, "Grandma just told us not to go home for dinner."
She asked, "Grandma, what's happening? Why can't we go back?"
"The daughter of our cook, Daniel Davidson, has just given birth. I am in the hospital with him. You
guys just eat out tonight."
"Which hospital are you in? We'll pick you up after dinner."
"I can't remember that. I'll have Daniel's son-in-law use my phone to text you the address later."
"Alright."
Audrey hung up and looked at Bryson.
"Grandma said that Daniel's daughter had born a baby, so she went to the hospital with him. She asked
us to eat out and then pick her up at the hospital."
"Alright. Let's go to a restaurant nearby. There is a famous restaurant ahead."
Audrey happily answered, "Good."
...
Ten minutes later, Audrey and Bryson sat in a private room of a five-star restaurant.
Audrey sat down and was a bit shocked by the menu.
This was indeed a high-end restaurant, and the dishes were quite expensive.
She ordered two dishes, and Bryson ordered two dishes and a soup. Then the waiter went out with the
menu.
After a while, the door was open.
At first, Audrey thought it was the waiter coming with the dishes. However, she saw a stranger who
behaved recklessly.
"Matthew, it's Bryson. I told you I was right," George said. Once coming in, he pointed at Bryson and
said, "Bryson, I'm your best friend. Why didn't you tell me you're having dinner in my restaurant?"
George directly took a seat beside Bryson.
Then, James also walked in. He looked gentle and elegant.
He greeted Bryson with a smile. As his eyes rested on Audrey's face, he smiled more brightly.
"Bryson, won't you introduce us to each other?"
Bryson frowned.
He didn't expect to meet George and James here.
Audrey stood up politely.
Bryson first pointed at James, "James Walker, Vice President of the J Group!"
He then pointed at George, "This is George Kuhn, the second young master of the SY Group."
Finally, Bryson looked at Audrey and said, "Andrey Koch."
Audrey greeted politely, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Walker and Mr. George."
George opened his mouth, "H ... Hello!"
James smiled at her, "Hello, Ms. Audrey."
George looked at Bryson in confusion.
"Bryson, what's going on? Is she your secretary or...?"
To disassociate herself from Bryson, Audrey interrupted, "Mr. George, I am the legal adviser of the
Cordova Group."
"Legal ... adviser!" George was frightened and moved towards James to keep his distance from
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAudrey.
Audrey didn't know why.
James gently explained to Audrey, "Ms. Audrey, excuse George. He was hurt by a lawyer and suffers
from a lawyer phobia."
What a rare phobia.
Audrey replied, "It's ... fine."
It was really embarrassing to meet Bryson's friends when dining out.
Since James and George were Bryson's friends, they didn't mind sharing a table with Bryson and
Audrey. They called the waiter and ordered a few more dishes.
After that, James cast a smile at Audrey.
"Ms. Audrey, which firm do you work in?"
"Square Law Firm."
James raised his eyebrows slightly. "As far as I know, there is a lawyer named Andrey in your firm. She
was the attorney of the QK Architects, and she won the case against the Four Seasons Group. Ms.
Audrey, are you the lawyer?"
Audrey nodded awkwardly.
"Yeah, it's me."
"I see." James put on a meaningful smile.
That explained why Bryson suddenly asked him to cooperate with the Four Seasons Group when it
was in a lawsuit against the QK Architects. James asked why, but Bryson only said it was because of a
woman.
He failed to guess who the woman was back then.
Now he figured it out.
Audrey felt quite uncomfortable, for James was gazing at her thoughtfully.
"Ms. Audrey, can I ask you a question?"
Audrey didn't answer.
Subconsciously, she wanted to reply 'no'.
