After delivering Abner’s gift, Audrey returned to her room and retrieved another elegantly wrapped gift box.

When she knocked on Eric’s door, Audrey couldn’t help but feel a tad anxious. What if Eric didn’t like the gift she had chosen? What if it didn’t suit his taste?

Just as she stood there, lost in her thoughts, the door swung open abruptly. Their eyes met, and an unusual silence fell between them.

Eric remained silent for a few moments, looking down at Audrey, who only reached up to his chin, and quipped with a hint of disdain, “What brings you here for no apparent reason?”

Audrey’s head instantly lit up.

[Second Brother is still the same as ever. I don’t want to give him the gift anymore. What should I do?]

Gift? Eric’s interest was piqued almost immediately, and a faint smile tugged at his lips. Had she prepared a gift for him too?

Eric adopted a serious expression and cleared his throat before stepping aside, gesturing for her to enter. “Come in.”

Audrey walked in with a smile, clutching the gift box in her hand. Eric glanced at the box and raised an eyebrow. ‘What’s this?”

Tell me it’s for me! Tell me!

Eric was a little excited.

Audrey quickly played into his hands. “Second Brother, this is for you.” With those words, Audrey presented the gift box to him.

Eric, pretending to be nonchalant, accepted it promptly. He remarked in an indifferent tone, “What are you up to?”

[Thank you, of course.]

Audrey said without batting an eyelid, “Thank you for standing up for me last time. This is my way of expressing my gratitude.”

A gift? Eric’s grip on the box subtly tightened.

During dinner, when he learned that Audrey had given Abner a gift, he felt an unusual twinge of discomfort.

Eric couldn’t really explain this feeling. He felt that he was Audrey’s second brother in name after all. Audrey had only given Abner a gift, but she hadn’t given it to him. He couldn’t help but feel a touch of jealousy.

Unbeknownst to Eric, their once turbulent relationship had gradually evolved into a familial bond over the past few months. Audrey was now unquestionably his sister and family.

Upon discovering that Audrey had also prepared a gift for him, Eric cleared his throat and masked the delight that welled within him. Instead, he said with a semblance of pride, “Since it’s from you, I suppose I’ll reluctantly accept it.” Audrey, having keen eyes, did not miss the glint of a smile on Eric’s lips. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝙗𝙣𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝓶

She chuckled and replied, “Then I wish Second Brother continued success in his career.”

With that, Audrey skipped out of the room like a carefree child.

When she was gone, Eric muttered to himself as he opened the gift box, “What could she have bought…”

However, when he laid eyes on the exquisite coiled book inside, he was rendered momentarily speechless.

There were also two meticulously gilded words on the book: Drama.

After a considerable amount of time, Eric giggled.

Meanwhile, back in her room, Audrey’s gaze lingered on the last unopened gift box resting on her bed and she couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Audrey reached for her phone and perused her WeChat contacts. After twice scrolling through her list, she paused on a particular account. Ultimately, she decided against sending Evans a message.

Evans was known for his reserved nature and his dedication to work. She reasoned that reaching out might be an unwelcome intrusion on his time. Forget it, Audrey thought, I’ll present him with the gift box the next time we meet.

Audrey reclined on her bed and indulged in watching television dramas for an extended period. At some point, her assistant, Anna, sent her a WeChat message out of the blue. Anna: “Sis! Have you seen the trending searches?”

Audrey: “What’s going on?”

Anna: “Oh my gosh, you have to check it out!”

Upon receiving the message, Anna promptly shared a Weibo post.

Intrigued, Audrey delved into the Weibo post and immediately caught sight of some glaring headlines.

‘Explosive News! Wealthy Family’s Fiancée Mysteriously Vanishes! Suspected Runaway Bride!’

Audrey’s interest was instantly piqued. She scrolled down further and soon stumbled upon an even more astonishing revelation.

Linda was actually engaged to Jerry!

As Audrey read on, she couldn’t help but be taken aback. The more she read, the more shocking the information became.

‘A notorious playboy drugging and raping a wealthy family’s illegitimate daughter was just a facade. In reality, they were in a romantic relationship, devoid of any scandalous behavior!’

Audrey couldn’t help but suppress a smirk. Clearly, Caroline was working diligently to alter the narrative and downplay the scandal.

The ensuing content was even more sensational:

‘The wedding date is fast approaching, but my fiancée has vanished without a trace! She fled, and he pursued, but they couldn’t escape their fate!’

At this point, Anna sent another message: “How’s it going? Quite thrilling, isn’t

Audrey: Thrilling..
