"Are you Angel?" Emiliano asked with a trembling voice.
Audrey looked at her with a smile.
"I am Angel."
"It's so similar!" Emiliano muttered. She could not hide her fear.
Audrey frowned. "What?"
Audrey felt that Emiliano's expression was a little strange. She narrowed her eyes and stared into Emiliano's eyes. "Did we know each other before?"
Audrey was good at remembering people's faces. If she had looked at them deeply, she would have some impression. She had never met Emiliano.
"No, we don't know each other!" Emiliano dodged Audrey's probing gaze in a panic, as if she was afraid that Audrey would see something.
However, Audrey was even more certain that Emiliano knew her.
Audrey didn't intend to investigate further. After all, according to Emiliano's background, it was impossible for them to have any interactions.
Audrey went straight to the point. "Ms. Reid, as for your request to hire me as your defense lawyer, I'm sorry, I can't promise you."
Emiliano asked Audrey to be her defense lawyer. Audrey came to see Emiliano for that reason.
Hearing Audrey's refusal, Emiliano did not seem surprised. She did not even look at Audrey and said, "OK."
"Since then, I will look for someone else."
Previously, Emiliano asked Audrey to be her defense lawyer urgently. Audrey rejected her. Emiliano did not insist. It was very strange!
Audrey faintly smiled. "Ms. Reid, you asked me to come over. What's up?"
"No. I just heard that you are a very powerful lawyer. So, I want to ask you to be my defense lawyer. Since you are unwilling, then forget it."
"Well, if Ms. Reid has nothing else to do, I'll leave."
Emiliano asked Audrey to stay. She turned around and did not look at Audrey.
Audrey gave Emiliano a deep look, then turned and left the cell.
After Audrey left, Emiliano dared to turn around. She looked in the direction where Audrey had left. Her body trembled violently.
Emiliano thought, 'How could Audrey be Mrs. Koch's daughter?'
...
Audrey exited the prison and directly sat in Bryson's car waiting outside the prison.
"Where do you want to go?" Bryson asked.
Audrey gave Bryson a strange look. "What? Aren't you going to work today?"
Bryson smiled.
He said, "It's National Day now. There is no one in the company. I don't have to stay in the company every day."
Audrey patted her head. "Yes! I forgot about it. Today is National Day."
When Audrey went out, Simon came to find Harold. They planned to play games in the Internet Bar for a whole day. She also said that the two of them had lost their ambition. Now she finally remembered that it was National Day.
Bryson smiled gently.
"So, where do you want to go?"
Audrey shook her head. "During the National Day, there are people everywhere. It's better to watch TV at home."
"Then we will go to your house."
Just as Bryson finished speaking, Audrey's phone rang. It was Nell.
"Hey, Nell, what's wrong?"
"Audrey, help me!"
Audrey immediately became nervous. "What's the matter? What happened? Where are you now?"
After Nell gave the address, Bryson took Audrey to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, Nell was just sent to the ward.
One of her legs was hung on the bed with a cast. She looked extremely miserable.
As soon as Audrey entered the room, she saw Nell's situation. Audrey threw away her bag and ran to the bed.
"Nell, what happened to you? How did it become like this?"
Bryson silently followed behind Audrey. He picked up the bag Audrey dropped on the ground and placed it on the sofa.
Nell looked at Audrey with a resentful expression. "Don't mention it. I am so unlucky. I was hit by someone the moment I went out. The driver ran away."
As she spoke, Nell hugged Audrey. "Audrey, you are finally here. I thought I was going to die before."
Audrey hugged Nell and patted her back comfortingly.
"It's okay. It's okay. I'm here, it's okay."
The doctor walked into with Nell's examination materials.
"Which one of you is the patient's family?"
Audrey quickly opened her mouth. "Her parents are not in Peace City for the time being. I am her best friend. How is Nell?"
"According to the results of the examination, Miss Nell's left leg has been fractured. There is also a slight concussion."
Brain concussion!
Hearing those words, Audrey asked nervously, "Doctor, will there be any bad effects?"
"It's not a big problem. She needs to stay in the hospital for a while to see if there will be any sequelae or complications."
"OK. Thank you, doctor!"
The doctor went out. Audrey looked at Nell in relief.
"You are lucky this time. Fortunately, nothing major happened."
"But I'm also a cripple now, OK? That damn driver ran away. What am I going to do about my work in the future?"
Audrey turned to look at Bryson. "Bryson, can you help me to investigate the driver?"
Bryson took out his phone and said, "No problem."
Bryson took the phone and left. Seeing that, Nell looked at Audrey apologetically. "Audrey, am I disturbing your date?"
"It doesn't matter. We have no holiday plans. There are people everywhere during the holidays." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Audrey is the best girl!" Nell hugged Audrey tightly. "You are the only one I have now. You can't abandon me!"
Nataly and George went out to have a sweet trip. Grady went abroad with his family to deal with the business. As for Nell's parents, they went back to their hometown. Wasn't Audrey the only one who could accompany her?
"Don't worry. I will accompany you." Audrey heaved a sigh.
After a while, Bryson walked in.
"The driver has already gone to the police station to turn himself in. He has been detained by the police station."
Nell gritted her teeth and was about to get up. "Which police station did he go to? I'm going to kill him now!"
Audrey quickly pressed down on Nell's shoulder. "Your legs are still covered with plaster. You can't move around. Lie down properly and don't get up."
Nell was furious. "I can't make it."
"Don't worry. Since he arrived at the police station, the police will handle it impartially. They won't let him get away with it."
As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang again.
Audrey glanced at the contact list displayed on his phone. It was Stephen.
Why was Steven calling at this time?
