Chapter 196 The Call Was Answered by a Woman Before Audrey could say anything, a loud wail was heard. The deceased's family had come over.
Audrey stood aside, her heart pounding with fear.

Audrey's heart leapt into her throat, and after it had slightly subsided, she asked the medical staff if there was a person named Sterling who had been in a car accident. After learning that there wasn’t, she then left the hospital.

“The phone’s unanswered, and she’s not here, where on earth did she go?” Carlie said, her brow furrowed in anxiety.
Tonight, Mabel suddenly became the host, which had already made Carlie very dissatisfied. Mabel and Audrey had fallen out a long time. ago, so why did they still let her host for her? Even if they had to find someone to host for her, it should have been her!
