Chapter 68
Half an hour later, when Audrey and Sherlyn came out of the room, Sherlyn seemed completely transformed, with the longâstanding tension from her headaches. dissipating.
She appeared refreshed and vigorated.
The few women immediately understood the situation and looked at Audrey with even more astonishment, especially Katherine, who was eagerly anticipating the arrival of a child..
âHow did it go?â Phoebe asked her good friend.
âI feel much better now. I feel relaxed and clearâheaded. Audrey said sheâll do therapy on me a few more times and give me some medicine, and then Iâll be fine!â Sherlyn exclaimed, feeling revitalized and clinging to Audrey.
Phoebe couldnât help but feel a bit puzzled. After all, Audrey was her beloved goddaughter, and it seemed strange for Sherlyn to be so attached to Audrey. But deep down, she was happy for Audrey.
Audrey had suffered so much in her life. She deserved to be cherished.
âWhy hasnât my foolish son arrived yet?â Sherlyn murmured.
Sherlyn began to feel annoyed that her son hadnât shown up yet. She had invited many eligible bachelors from prestigious families, and if Audrey got snatched away by someone else, what would she do?
Her son really needed to be more reliable at crucial times like this.
Sherlyn was getting anxious. She didnât want to let such a good lady slip away.
Just then, a tall figure approached from a distance.
Seeing the figure, Audrey raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced discreetly at Sherlyn.
âMom, do you know I have an important match to watch tonight? And you still made me come here!â Cade complained as he approached.
âYou brat, am I less important to you than your match?â Sherlyn was furious. How could her son be so thoughtless?
âNo, youâre the most important person in my heart. Youâre the most beautiful woman in the world!â Cade quickly tried to appease her.

âWell, spare me!â Sherlyn huffed, but there was a smile on her face.
âAudrey, what are you doing here?â Suddenly noticing Audrey, Cade was startled.
Sherlynâs eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, âYou and Audrey know each other? Thatâs great. I wonât have to introduce
wol
âMom, when did you become so close to Audrey?â Cade looked puzzled.
âWhat Audrey? You should be gentle with her Call her Auddie,â Sherlyn said.
With such a good daughterâinâlaw candidate, Sherlyn wished Cade would seize the opportunity and marry her.
âMom, are you kidding me? Why are you acting so strange?â Cade asked, feeling puzzled.
âYouâre the one acting strange, you brat!â Sherlyn glared at Cade, feeling exasperated.
âAudrey, since you know each other, let Cade take you around. Weâll go upstairs to rest!â Phoebe suggested after the others left.
By now, Audrey had discerned the main purpose of this banquet and nodded.
After Phoebe and the others left, Cade scratched his head, still somewhat puzzled.
âAudrey, what are you doing here?â Cade asked.
Thinking of those videos and photos, Cade looked at Audrey with a hint of fear in his
eyes.
Audrey glanced at him indifferently and said casually, âSame reason as you, for a blind date.â
âOh, what? A blind date?â Cade jumped back in fright, âWith you?â Clearly, he was taken. aback.
âYeah, any problem?â Audrey raised an eyebrow, her gaze cold as she looked at Cade. âI think youâre not bad.â
âNo, Iâm not good at all. Donât pick me, please, donât pick me. Oh, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the restroom!â Cade couldnât bear to stay any longer. Deep down, he was terrified.
His mother was trying to set him up.

If he really went through with this marriage, heâd be doomed!
Watching Cade flee in panic, Audrey smiled knowingly.
She never expected that Sherlyn was Cadeâs mother.
Audrey got up, intending to fi left.
quiet place to stay until Phoebe was done and then
Because she wasnât familiar with the venue, she ended up in the main banquet hall.
The hall was bustling with activity, filled with many people, socializing and enjoying themselves.
Anyone who could be invited by Katherine was naturally not an ordinary person.
Audrey wasnât particularly interested in such lively places, so she was about to turn and leave when she spotted two figures in the crowd.
Narrowing her eyes, Audreyâs gaze fell on the two figures, her expression turning. slightly cold.
âExcuse me, Miss, would you like to dance?â A tall figure approached Audrey and extended an invitation.
Audreyâs eyes were cold as she glanced at the man in front of her. âNot interested.â
With that, Audrey turned and walked away.

William knew that Katherine was hosting an event today and had managed to invite the president of Neptune Investment. He had gone to great lengths to obtain this invitation.
Usually, Rebecca would accompany him to such events, but because Sarah was still in the hospital and emotionally unstable, Rebecca had been staying at the hospital to take care of her.
William didnât tell Rebecca about the event, so he brought a young and beautiful secretary with him instead.
This time, Williamâs main goal was to meet the president of Neptune Investment. After all, men tended to like young and beautiful women, which was why he brought the secretary along.

However, he didnât expect the president of Neptune Investment to be so young and handsome. Even more frustrating was that Danny didnât seem to take him seriously at
all.
âMake sure to find a way to get my on our side, understood?â William said.
The young and beautiful secretary hoped to be noticed by wealthy individuals, so she nodded in agreement.
This was also the reason William chose her.
As long as the secretary could win over the president of Neptune Investment, he certainly wouldnât treat her unfairly..
Audrey sent a message. [Williamâs target tonight is you, be careful.]
It didnât take long for a reply to come through.
Danny: [Youâre here too? Why havenât I seen you?]
Audrey: [Behind you, at three oâclock!]
Danny, who was chatting with others in the crowd, immediately looked towards the back, where a blurry figure was hidden in the shadows.
Danny narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face. Then he said to the others, âSorry, I have to leave for a moment.â
