Andrew said, âEmely, no more nonsense. Audrey is a distinguished guest of the Roscente family.â
Andrewâs voice grew colder as he looked at Emely, his tone carrying a hint of warning.
Emely was infuriated to see her cousin defending Audrey.
Emely said, âAre you kidding me? How could someone like her be a distinguished guest of the Roscente family? Sheâs just an exâconvict. How does she deserve it?â
Emely had been sent abroad for studies and only returned these past two days.
Today, she invited Sarah to her home, but she knew nothing about Audrey saving Samuel, and her family hadnât mentioned it to her.
Andrewâs face darkened at Emelyâs insolence and disregard for his warning, and he said. coldly, âDominik, take her out. Sheâs not allowed in.â
Emely burst into tears upon hearing this.
She never expected her cousin to kick her out for the sake of a shameless woman like Audrey.
On the sidelines, Sarah also didnât expect Andrew to defend Audrey like this. She felt somewhat resentful but didnât dare to show it on her face.
She could only think sarcastically, âAndrew, you like this wretched woman, but do you know sheâs cheating on you with other men behind your back? Sheâs shameless.â
Sarah grabbed Emely and comforted her, saying, âEmely, donât be upset. Andrew wouldnât treat you badly for someone else.â
The âsomeone elseâ Sarah referred to was Audrey.
Andrew naturally understood Sarahâs meaning, and his expression turned slightly cold.
At that moment, Phoebe, from the kitchen, heard the commotion and immediately walked out. Seeing Emely and Sarah crying in the living room, she instantly understood what happened.
Phoebe wasnât particularly fond of Emely, who was quite spoiled and arrogant, often flaunting the influence of the Roscente family
But Emely wasnât her daughter, so Phoebe couldnât be bothered.

As soon as Phoebe came out of the kitchen, Emely immediately went over.

âPhoebe, I just said a few words to Audrey, and Andrew actually wants to kick me out. Phoebe, you have to speak up for me and kick Audrey out. What right does an ex- convict have to be in the Roscente family?â Emely grabbed Phoebeâs hand and shouted, completely oblivious to Phoebeâs suddenly darkened expression.
Even her eyes, which used to be gentle, were cold and indifferent at this moment.
Sarah didnât notice Phoebeâs expression either, just hoping that Audrey would be quickly thrown out, preferably with Phoebe humiliating her first.
Phoebe pulled her hand out of Emelyâs grasp and said coldly, âI invited Audrey and is a distinguished guest of the Roscente family. We wonât keep you here if you donât want to see her. Dominik, escort them out.â
Phoebe was somewhat angry. She had finally managed to invite Audrey back home, never expecting her niece to come with Sarah and even to demand Audrey leave.
Phoebe knew Sarah. She was a popular star in the entertainment industry, but Phoebe always felt that Sarah was too scheming.
Phoebeâs words shocked Emely and Sarah.
Sarah looked up at Phoebe in disbelief.
How could that be possible? Audrey was actually invited by Phoebe!
Sarah was seething with hatred.
Emely asked, âPhoebe, are you serious? Audrey is an exâconvict.â
Emely couldnât believe that Audrey was brought by Phoebe and that Phoebe treated Emely like this for an outsider.
Phoebeâs expression turned grim when Emely mentioned Audreyâs prison time twice.
âEmely, shut up and apologize to Audrey,â Phoebe said.
Emely cried even louder, âApologize? What right does she have?â
Emely was unable to accept Phoebeâs scolding, especially since Phoebe had been kind to her before.
âBecause she saved your grandfatherâs life, apologize.â A deep and aged voice came from the staircase, and following that, Samuel, sitting in a wheelchair, was wheeled over

by someone.
Upon hearing Samuelâs voice, everyone in the living room was stunned. Andrew hurried over to call him, then wheeled Samuel over.
âSamuel, why did you come down?â Phoebe looked at Samuel discontentedly.
âI heard Audrey was here, so I came down to take a look,â Samuel said, his gaze sweeping over the people in the living room, finally looking at Audrey.
His voice was full of kindness and warmth as he said, âAudrey, come here, let me take a good look at you.â
Audrey looked at Samuel, then got up and walked over, but her expression remained cold.
âGood child. Thank you for saving my life.â Samuel had lived a long life and had a keen
eye.
Just by looking into Audreyâs eyes, he knew Audrey was extraordinary.
Seeing Aaron also liked Audrey, Phoebe smiled and walked over.
Phoebe said, âSamuel, you like Audrey, and so do I. How about I adopt her as my goddaughter?â
Phoebeâs face was full of joy. She really liked Audrey.
Everyone present was stunned again. Andrew glanced at his mother in surprise, then at Audrey, his eyes flickering.
Emely and Sarah were also stunned by Phoebeâs words, especially Sarah, who bit her lip tightly, staring at Audrey with jealousy and hatred.
Sarah thought hatefully, âWhy? Why is Audrey favored by Samuel and Phoebe? And Phoebe even wants to adopt her as a goddaughter.â
Sarah absolutely couldnât let Audrey climb on top of her.
After all, this was the Roscente family. The Roscente familyâs status in Northville was several levels higher than the Hernandez familyâs. That was beyond her reach.
It was precisely because of this that she had always been willing to be friends with Emely, indulging Emelyâs arrogant and overbearing behavior.
But Sarah never imagined that what she dared not even think of would be so easily

After all, this was the Roscente family. The Röscente familyâs status in Northville was several levels higher than the Hernandez familyâs. That was beyond her reach.
It was precisely because of this that she had always been willing to be friends with Emely, indulging Emelyâs arrogant and overbearing behavior.
But Sarah never imagined that what she dared not even think of would be so easily achieved by Audrey.
And Phoebe even wanted to adopt Audrey as a goddaughter.
Sarah was about to flare up.
âVery well. I agree.â Samuel was very happy.
With just one glance, he knew Audrey would be extraordinary in the future.
Phoebe knew Samuel would agree. She looked at Audrey tenderly and smiled, saying, âAudrey, my biggest wish in this life is to have a daughter of my own. I really like you. Will you agree to my request?
âIn the future, with me and the Roscente family behind you, no one will dare to bully you. Bullying you would be the same as bullying me and the Roscente family.â
Phoebe deliberately said this to Sarah.
After all, the incident where the Hernandez family expelled Audrey from their home was widely known in the upper class of Northville.
Audrey hadnât expected that she would end up being Phoebeâs goddaughter. She furrowed her brows.
Seeing Audreyâs frown, Phoebe was afraid she might refuse. She immediately coaxed Audrey gently, âOh dear, just agree to my request. My biggest wish in life is to have a daughter. A daughter who is wellâbehaved and gentle is so adorable. Unlike that jerk who doesnât know how to cherish his mother.
Andrew, watching this scene, suddenly felt that he was being disdained.
