Chapter 489
After leaving the court, Audrey called Bryson. They had a meal together. Since Bryson stood treat, they went to a seven-star restaurant in Peace City.
Sitting in the luxurious box of the restaurant, Audrey felt dazzled as she looked at the golden decorations in front of her.
There were also all sorts of entertainment activities in the box.
It was obvious that the box was expensive. Audrey glanced at the price of the dishes on the menu.
Not only was the price of the box high, but also the prices of the dishes. Each dish was dear. The moment Audrey opened the menu, she was shocked by the price.
If Audrey had eaten alone, she definitely wouldn't have come to this place. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
However, Bryson, who was sitting opposite Audrey, was much calmer. After ordering the dishes, he asked Audrey, "What would you like to eat?"
Bryson stood treated and he did not care about the price. Audrey was invited to have a meal and she should be calm.
Therefore, Audrey calmly ordered two dishes.
After the waiter left, Audrey quickly looked at Bryson and said, "I did ask you to treat me to a big meal, but I didn't ask you to come to such a luxurious place. It's a waste of money."
"You are worth it!" Bryson said with a faint smile.
Audrey did not know how to respond.
Audrey was speechless and she did not say anything more.
However, to cost some money for a meal was not a bid deal for Bryson.
After a while, the waiter brought the champagne they ordered and the dishes were served.
Bryson raised his glass and said, "Congratulations on winning the lawsuit."
Audrey smiled as she picked up the champagne glass and clinked it with Bryson's.
"Thank you," Audrey said.
Seeing that Bryson was about to drink up, Audrey quickly reminded him, "You have to go to work in the afternoon. It's better not to drink too much."
Bryson looked at Audrey with a doting smile. After taking a sip, he put down his glass and replied, "Alright."
Bryson was obedient.
Perhaps the lights in the box were beautiful, and Bryson sitting in front of Audrey looked even more handsome. Audrey's heart beat rapidly, not daring to look straight at him.
Audrey said, "By the way, after the court trial, Jean said that she would pick me up for the Cordova Mansion for the Mid-Autumn Banquet tomorrow afternoon."
Bryson's gaze moved slightly.
"If you don't want to attend, you don't have to go. I will explain it to them." Bryson replied.
Audrey frowned.
She continued, "I originally didn't want to go. After all, I'm not the real Elliana. However, if I don't go, I'm afraid grandma will be sad. Moreover, I just got a good impression of Jean. It's not good to reject her."
Bryson stared at Audrey intently and held her hand on the table.
"Audrey, I don't want you to have any burdens to being with me. If you don't like doing something, I won't force you to do it." Bryson said.
Looking at Bryson's face, Audrey was more determined.
Audrey nodded and said, "I know. I've thought about it. Even if I am not in the name of the daughter of the Cordova family, I'm your girlfriend."
Bryson held Audrey's hands tightly.
"Alright, I'll come to pick you up tomorrow," Bryson said.
Audrey smiled and replied, "No. Jean will pick me up tomorrow. You return to the Cordova Mansion tomorrow night."
"Well... By the way, Angel Orphanage you asked me to keep an eye on suspicious people."
Audrey was concentrating.
"Who did you find?" Audrey said.
Bryson handed Audrey a piece of paper and said, "This is a teacher in the orphanage."
On the paper was personal information with a photo. The person in the photo was a middle-aged woman who looked kind and benevolent.
This woman is called Emiliano. She has been working in an orphanage for six years and she has been praised as an excellent teacher many times.
Unexpectedly, the suspicious person was someone who could not commit a crime.
Audrey was shocked.
Audrey asked Bryson, "How did you find her?"
"Emiliano secretly bought a large batch of flammable phosphorus powder and arranged it in various flammable places in the orphanage. When my people found it, she was about to light the powder. She was caught and she claimed that it was only the realgar powder used to drive away snakes. However, realgar powder and phosphorus powder are still easy to distinguish." Bryson told Audrey everything he knew.
Audrey's eyes fixed on the woman who looked kind in the documents in her hands.
Audrey did not expect that the woman would hurt the children in the orphanage. If Emiliano had not been discovered, she would not have been suspected at all. After all, people would not believe a person who looked kind was evil. However, it was such a kind woman to do a bad thing to the orphanage.
The information showed that the time Emiliano was going to light the powder was over noon. At that time, the children were ready to take a nap.
If the fire were to burn up at that time, the children who had fallen into a deep sleep would probably be unable to escape due to panic and fear. They would probably lose their lives.
Emiliano was insane to do such things.
"Hasn't Emiliano admitted it?" Audrey wondered.
"Not yet, but it won't be long before she admits it," Bryson said confidently.
Audrey had never seen Bryson's methods before, but she had heard that Bryson had a group of capable interrogators. If Emiliano was interrogated by Bryson, they should be able to get the results soon.
Not only Emiliano but also the people behind her should be punished as well.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you then," Audrey said.
"This is a public safety injury case. It will become a lawsuit. I hope that you do not interfere in this case, lest you cause unnecessary trouble." Bryson requested.
Audrey understood what Bryson meant. He was afraid that she would get into trouble. After all, it was not a small case. The business of the land concerned interests. As long as it involved interests, it was not just a business. If Emiliano admitted it, the people behind her would not only be businessmen. They might be unknown big shots.
Audrey nodded.
"I got it."
...
In the afternoon, Audrey arrived at the same coffee shop as last time with Warden.
Like last time, Warden had already arrived early.
Seeing Audrey, Warden could not wait to stand up.
Warden asked, "There you are! When can you lift a ban on my bank accounts?"
