Chapter 291
George only had one daughter, Wanda. As such, he had extremely high expectations for
her.
He had arranged many courses for her when she was very young, giving her all his love but also placing significant pressure on her.
Wanda wouldn’t have been misled by Wilfred otherwise. The young girl believed her uncle who offered her an excuse to relax. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
George wouldn’t treat his two little great–grandchildren the same way he did with Wanda; he only hoped they could grow up happily, safely, and peacefully.
After escorting George upstairs, Audrey heard from Paige that Wanda had taken sleeping pills and gone to bed early today. She quietly went upstairs and pushed open Wanda’s door to take a peek inside.
The night lamp outlined Wanda’s sleeping profile. Audrey’s eyes became moist, and she gently closed the door again.
Unbeknownst to Audrey, Paige was silently standing behind her.
Seeing Audrey’s expression, Paige smiled. “I knew you’d be here. Don’t worry. Wanda has been doing well lately. Now with Dallas, Lily, and you by her side, Wanda will be even better in the future.”
Paige raised Wanda when she was still very young. Looking at Audrey now was like looking at a young Wanda.
How could Paige not feel affection?
Paige was holding the pajamas she had prepared for Audrey. She smiled and said, “I’ve already prepared the bathwater for you. Wanda personally chose these pajamas a while
back
“They’ve been washed and are ready to wear. Your toiletries and everyday clothes were chosen by Wanda, Dallas, and Lily together.”
“Thank you!” Audrey expressed her gratitude.
Seeing Audrey’s appreciative expression, Paige’s smile broadened.
“Although George doesn’t say it outright, I know that he actually hoped you’d live here.
“The incident where Wanda was frightened by the rope was simply an accident. Wanda really likes you. Blood ties are a mysterious force; just seeing each other makes you feel fond.”
Audrey tightly grasped the pajamas, feeling uncertain.
Her situation with Wanda was very special. She wasn’t born to Wanda in the usual way, in the excitement of a typical marriage
Although it happened when she was young, Audrey clearly remembered the hateful look in Wanda’s eyes.
If Wanda remembered the past, she might want Audrey to disappear from this world.
“I’ve watched your programs, Audrey, as well as your speeches in various competitions.” Paige’s eyes also reddened as she spoke.
“I watched your speech when you stood on the podium at the Olympic Games at 13. It was like seeing Wanda at 13, shining brightly!
‘You’re definitely Wanda’s child. You’re so much like her not at all like the Yeomans family! You are a part of the Lambert family. Never doubt that.”
After Paige finished speaking, she smiled and patted Audrey’s shoulder. She then turned and wiped away her tears before heading downstairs.
Audrey’s room in the residence was next to Ryan’s.
The two little ones had already washed up and changed into clean pajamas, sitting on the carpet in Audrey’s bedroom, playing card games with Ryan.
Ryan’s phone vibrated just then–it was a call from Daniel. He set down the cards in his hands and walked to the window.
“Hello?”
“Ryan, the evidence has been found.” Daniel’s voice was heavy.
“Jim wasn’t lying, but the evidence is incomplete. What should we do now? Should we hand the evidence over to the police, or keep it in our hands for now?”
Ryan replied, “Keep the evidence for now.”
