Chapter 32: Linda's Visit

The next morning, just as Audrey finished breakfast, Linda arrived.

She appeared carrying a bunch of things and even dressed up beautifully. However, she had clearly miscalculated.

Abner had left early in the morning to go to the company. Ever since he joined the company, he often worked overtime and rarely had any weekends off.

Although Anthea didn't like Linda, she didn't show it. She politely served fruits and tea to the guests.

Linda had been secretly looking around since she came in, but she didn't see Abner.

Audrey naturally knew what she was looking for, but she feigned ignorance and didn't say anything.

Anthea was also attending a floral arrangement class today, but she worried that if she wasn't there, Linda might try to deceive Audrey.

As the time approached, Audrey prompted, "Mom, you should leave now, or you'll be late."

In the end, Anthea still went out. Audrey already knew that she had to get back what Linda had taken from her in the past, so she probably wouldn't be deceived like before.

After she left, the obedient expression on Linda's face completely disappeared.

She asked impatiently, "Audrey, are you the only one at home now?"

Audrey saw through her little scheme at a glance and calmly replied, "No, there's also my second brother. He came back late last night and hasn't gotten up yet."

Linda looked disappointed, but she had finally managed to get inside. She couldn't give up on this opportunity so easily. She asked, "What about your eldest brother? Why isn't he at home on the weekend?"

Audrey was just about to answer when she saw Eric coming downstairs.

"My eldest brother went to the company for overtime."

With that said, Audrey stood up, calling out towards the staircase, "Second brother."

Eric responded, intending to head directly to the dining room. However, upon noticing there was another person in the living room, he changed his direction abruptly.

The Lance brothers both had remarkable appearances. However, Abner had a more reserved demeanor, and outsiders generally believed that he would be the future head of the family.

So, the attention on Abner was higher. However, Eric was also quite outstanding. Many people were also interested in arranging marriages for their daughters with Eric.

Linda stood up with Audrey and greeted Eric, "Mr. Eric."

Eric glanced at Linda indifferently. "Miss Linda."

[He's quite good at putting on a facade. His expression just now bore a slight resemblance to that of the eldest brother.]

Eric usually gave people the feeling that he was out of place. Unexpectedly, when he became composed, he had quite a charm.

Eric was annoyed to the point of a headache. What did she mean by that? Who would want to be like that ice cube?

Surprisingly, at this moment, Eric wasn't in a rush to have his breakfast. He was seated in the living room, lazily scrolling through his phone.

Linda still wanted to ask more questions about Abner, but now that Eric was present, she found it difficult to bring them up.

After enduring the uncomfortable atmosphere for over ten minutes, Linda couldn't take it anymore. She stood up and bid her farewell.

Audrey feigned some attempts to keep her around before finally seeing her off.

Once they were out of the living room, Eric put down his phone, composed himself, and went to have his breakfast.

When they walked out of the door, Linda couldn't help but ask, "Audrey, how's your relationship with your older brother now?"

Audrey knew what she was up to. She said nonchalantly, "It's the same as before. However, if I don't provoke them, they won't make things difficult for me. Since we live under the same roof, sometimes I have to put on an act."

Linda didn't believe Audrey. "I see. I thought you two were very close?"

Audrey gave a bitter smile and didn't elaborate further.

And now, Linda was already convinced to a large extent. She was well aware of the dynamics between Audrey and the three siblings.

"I still hope you can consider my suggestion, and try to please Abner..."

Audrey couldn't be bothered to listen to her and interrupted her. "Linda, your ride is here. Be careful on the way back."

Linda twitched her lips, her expression somewhat unsightly, but she ultimately didn't say anything more. She got into the car and left.

When Audrey returned, Eric was having breakfast.

Upon seeing Audrey, Eric said, "Let me give you a sincere piece of advice. Stay away from Linda. This woman isn't simple."

Audrey nodded obediently. "Alright, Second Brother. I know."

She appeared well-behaved on the surface, but in her mind, she was sarcastically venting.

[I would know this better than you. Just thinking about all this makes me feel sorry for Abner. There are always a bunch of demons and ghosts targetting him.]

Eric's mouth twitched.
