Chapter 66

Audrey had been in the laboratory studying several samples for the past few days, unaware of what was happening outside.

Elizabeth called just as Audi As leaving the lab.

“Your sister has become the laughingstock of all Northville,” Elizabeth said.

Audrey frowned slightly, still unaware of what had happened with Sarah.

“She must have offended someone and got targeted. I heard the Hernandez family reported it to the police. This morning, when the police found Sarah, she was lying. naked in the bushes,” Elizabeth said.

Audrey’s expression remained calm upon hearing Elizabeth’s words.

“How’s your hand?” Audrey asked.

“It’s fine, it won’t break!” Elizabeth replied indifferently.

“Take good care of it,” Audrey said.

When Audrey went downstairs, she found the place bustling with activity.

Phoebe was playing with Brian on the living room sofa, both of them smiling.

Seeing Audrey come downstairs, they both stood up.

“Audrey, Phoebe bought me so many clothes and toys!” Brian said.

“Did you thank Phoebe?” Audrey looked at Brian, noticing the pile of items on the sofa.

“Absolutely! Brian has been so good!” Phoebe exclaimed happily when she saw Audrey. “I didn’t just buy things for Brian, I also got you several dresses. Come and try them on. Tomorrow night, I have a banquet, and I want you to accompany me!”

Audrey frowned, about to refuse, but Phoebe’s face turned stern as she looked at Audrey, saying, “No refusing!”

Audrey swallowed her rejection. “Alright.”

Satisfied with Audrey’s agreement, Phoebe smiled warmly.

“Don’t feel pressured. Tomorrow night is just a small party, nothing important!” Phoebe reassured, worried that Audrey might feel burdened.

The next afternoon, Phoebe arrived early with a makeup team to help Audrey get ready. She selected a black formal dress for Audrey to wear.

Audrey, already fair–skinned

ed even more stunning against the black gown, her

skin glowing and radiant, a breathtaking beauty.

Even Phoebe, despite being a woman, couldn’t help but stare in awe.

With her exquisite face, curvaceous figure, and slender waist, Audrey embodied every man’s fantasy. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Seeing Audrey dressed up beautifully, Phoebe was extremely satisfied and happily took Audrey to the banquet.

Phoebe brought Audrey to a private estate, which was extraordinarily large, indicating the host’s distinguished status.

Luxury cars and guests alike had to undergo thorough inspections as they came and

went.

Phoebe was a frequent visitor, with an excellent relationship with the estate owner. As soon as they saw Phoebe approaching, they promptly welcomed her inside.

“Mrs. Roscente, the other ladies are already here, waiting in the backyard!” the guard said.

“I’ll head over now,” Phoebe said.

Phoebe held Audrey’s hand and walked toward the backyard.

The front yard was bustling with numerous guests, creating a lively atmosphere. Int contrast, the backyard appeared relatively quiet, with faint sounds of the party from the front yard drifting over.

Phoebe seemed extremely familiar with the surroundings, as they navigated through two turns and could already see a gazebo not far ahead.

As they approached closer, they could see that in the middle of the gazebo sat three women of similar age to Phoebe.

One of them, Katherine Carpenter, the contessa, was someone Audrey recognized, known for her high status and frequent appearances at major events.

The other two were unfamiliar, but their refined attire indicated they were also of significant standing.

Sure enough, seeing Phoebe arrive, Katherine smiled and said, “Phoebe, finally you’re here. This must be Audrey. She is indeed beautiful!”

Katherine looked at Audrey with wing fondness.

The other two well–preserved ladies also glanced at Audrey, clicking their tongues in admiration.

“Such a beautiful girl! Whoever marries her will be very fortunate!”

Phoebe had a high status among the wealthy ladies of Northville, thanks to the influential backgrounds of both the Roscente family and the Byrne family.

They were all well aware of Audrey’s background and her past experiences.

Despite this, the three women did not show even the slightest hint of disdain towards Audrey.

“I was abroad last time and couldn’t attend your party. I apologize, consider this a token of my regret!” Katherine said, removing a translucent bracelet from her wrist.

The jade bracelet was of excellent quality, clearly made from top–grade material.

Audrey quickly tried to refuse, afraid of losing such a valuable item. “It’s too precious, I can’t accept it!”

“Why not take it? We’re all family, no need to be polite. And here’s something from me!” said Sherlyn Smith. As she spoke, she pulled out an exquisite gift box from her bag.

Inside was a limited–edition watch, difficult to obtain even with wealth and status. Only three of these watches existed worldwide.

As the first two presented their gifts, the third lady handed over a document. She was gifting a piece of land in Northville.

Looking at Audrey with a warm smile, she said, “I’m not good at picking those fancy things like they do, and I’m not sure what you like, but if there’s one thing my family has plenty of. It’s land!”

Audrey knew about that piece of land, as the adjacent plot had just been bought by a real estate company. Despite being slightly smaller, it had fetched a sky–high price.

Audrey was just about to refuse, but Phoebe, standing beside her, had already taken the

items on her behalf

“Good to see you have some taste. Ordinary things just won’t do for my precious. Auddie!” Phoebe said.

The lady who gave the land playfully glared at Phoebe, but her gaze toward Audrey was filled with tenderness and tion. “It’s a shame I don’t have a son. Otherwise, I’d have

my boy marry Audrey!”

“I like Audrey too. In fact, I just called my son, He’ll be here soon!” said Sherlyn.

“Speaking of which, your youngest son’s game company seems to be doing well!” the other lady said.

“He does nothing but tinker with those frivolous things. Thankfully, his brother handles serious matters for him, so his father and I let him be!” Though Sherlyn spoke with disdain, her words carried pride and indulgence.

Just then, Sherlyn’s phone rang. “Brat, are you here yet?”

“I’m almost there. I’ll be there soon!” came a clear male voice from the other end.

Sherlyn chuckled and hung up.

The other ladies laughed along, and Katherine sighed wistfully, “I’m so envious of you all.”

“Are you feeling unwell?” Audrey, who had been sitting quietly, watching the conversation, finally spoke upon noticing the somber expression on Katherine’s face.
