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.
âYour sister has become the laughingstock of all Northville,â Elizabeth said.
Audrey frowned slightly, still unaware of what had happened with Sarah.
âShe 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,â Elizabeth said.
Audreyâs expression remained calm upon hearing Elizabethâs words.
âHowâs your hand?â Audrey asked.
âItâs fine, it wonât break!â Elizabeth replied indifferently.
âTake good care of it,â 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.
âAudrey, Phoebe bought me so many clothes and toys!â Brian said.
âDid you thank Phoebe?â Audrey looked at Brian, noticing the pile of items on the sofa.
âAbsolutely! Brian has been so good!â Phoebe exclaimed happily when she saw Audrey. âI didnât 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!â
Audrey frowned, about to refuse, but Phoebeâs face turned stern as she looked at Audrey, saying, âNo refusing!â
Audrey swallowed her rejection. âAlright.â
Satisfied with Audreyâs agreement, Phoebe smiled warmly.

âDonât feel pressured. Tomorrow night is just a small party, nothing important!â 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 fairâskinned
ed even more stunning against the black gown, her
skin glowing and radiant, a breathtaking beauty.
Even Phoebe, despite being a woman, couldnât help but stare in awe.
With her exquisite face, curvaceous figure, and slender waist, Audrey embodied every manâs fantasy.
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 hostâs 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.
âMrs. Roscente, the other ladies are already here, waiting in the backyard!â the guard said.
âIâll head over now,â Phoebe said.
Phoebe held Audreyâs 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, âPhoebe, finally youâre here. This must be Audrey. She is indeed beautiful!â
Katherine looked at Audrey with wing fondness.
The other two wellâpreserved ladies also glanced at Audrey, clicking their tongues in admiration.
âSuch a beautiful girl! Whoever marries her will be very fortunate!â
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 Audreyâs background and her past experiences.
Despite this, the three women did not show even the slightest hint of disdain towards Audrey.
âI was abroad last time and couldnât attend your party. I apologize, consider this a token of my regret!â Katherine said, removing a translucent bracelet from her wrist.
The jade bracelet was of excellent quality, clearly made from topâgrade material.
Audrey quickly tried to refuse, afraid of losing such a valuable item. âItâs too precious, I canât accept it!â
âWhy not take it? Weâre all family, no need to be polite. And hereâs something from me!â said Sherlyn Smith. As she spoke, she pulled out an exquisite gift box from her bag.
Inside was a limitedâedition 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, âIâm not good at picking those fancy things like they do, and Iâm not sure what you like, but if thereâs one thing my family has plenty of. Itâs land!â
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 skyâhigh price.
Audrey was just about to refuse, but Phoebe, standing beside her, had already taken the

âGood to see you have some taste. Ordinary things just wonât do for my precious. Auddie!â Phoebe said.
The lady who gave the land playfully glared at Phoebe, but her gaze toward Audrey was filled with tenderness and tion. âItâs a shame I donât have a son. Otherwise, Iâd have
my boy marry Audrey!â
âI like Audrey too. In fact, I just called my son, Heâll be here soon!â said Sherlyn.
âSpeaking of which, your youngest sonâs game company seems to be doing well!â the other lady said.
âHe does nothing but tinker with those frivolous things. Thankfully, his brother handles serious matters for him, so his father and I let him be!â Though Sherlyn spoke with disdain, her words carried pride and indulgence.
Just then, Sherlynâs phone rang. âBrat, are you here yet?â
âIâm almost there. Iâll be there soon!â came a clear male voice from the other end.
Sherlyn chuckled and hung up.
The other ladies laughed along, and Katherine sighed wistfully, âIâm so envious of you all.â
âAre you feeling unwell?â Audrey, who had been sitting quietly, watching the conversation, finally spoke upon noticing the somber expression on Katherineâs face.
