Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 30

Audrey found it laughable that Nathan had posted her photos merely to threaten Amelia into staying.

“Ugh, what a jerk!” Azure expressed her disdain.

“Seriously, these kinds of guys are the worst!”

“In these situations, it’s usually the women who suffer!”

Audrey's colleagues didn’t probe into her identity further. Instead, they started ranting about such despicable men. Audrey looked up at the TV again.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

In the program, Donna spewed harsh words. The host, lan, coughed twice to interrupt Donna. He said, “After our investigation, it appears that your mother has indeed passed away.

Before lan could finish, Donna cut him off.

“But Adam’s grandfather is still alive!” “He only had one daughter, Adam’s mom. Now that she’s gone, he has no relatives left! Audrey is a girl and a shameless one at that! She’s definitely unreliable!

“Look at our Adam. He’s a man! Adam should be the one to take care of his grandfather. It’s Anne and Audrey who are eyeing his grandfather’s wealth. They stubbornly refuse to give us his phone number and address. Adam’s poor grandfather is old now, all alone...”

“You're speaking nonsense!” Anne, visibly upset, pointed at Donna. “Audrey hasn't been in touch with her grandfather in years. She's afraid of reopening his old wounds. You're clearly after Audrey’s grandfather's house, and you want him to buy a car for Adam!”

The discussion in the restaurant exploded,

“They really are after the old man’s wealth!”

“You can tell from that old lady’s words she’s definitely eyeing it. “It could also be a Lambert rivalry over their grandfather's estate.

On TV, lan said, “We've also contacted Adam’s maternal grandfather, Mr. Lambert, and had a phone. conversation with him. To protect Mr. Lambert’s privacy, we've altered his voice. Let’s listen.”

“| don’t want to see either of those children.” George Lambert’s voice, even altered, sounded very cultured. “Thinking of them reminds me of the torture my daughter endured, and how she died on the operating table. My wife died of grief because of my daughter.

“The Yeomans are animals. They're living evidence of my daughter’s suffering. | wish they would leave me in peace for the rest of my life. When | die, all my property will be donated to a foundation for rescuing trafficked women and children. That's my decision.”

The phone call ended there.

The audience seemed to understand.

In this case, although the children were not at fault, their existence was a testament to the crime. It was only natural that the elderly man didn’t want to see the children born out of his daughter's tragic

circumstances.

The family tried to leverage their blood relation to George to claim his property.

“What do you mean he’s give the property to others?” Wayne yelled with frustration, “That's Adam’s inheritance!”

Tia was also shocked and agitated. She protested, “Adam’s grandfather only had my sister for a daughter. Now that she’s gone, Adam should be the one to care for his grandfather in his old age! Adam and his grandfather are blood—related!

“Mr. Turner, please contact his grandfather again, or at least give us his address or phone number. We can find him ourselves!” The audience’s perspectives were refreshed.

Azure widened her eyes in surprise. “Wow! At first, | thought they were after familial affection, but it seems they're really after the old man’s wealth!”
