Chapter 32
Andrew said, “Emely, no more nonsense. Audrey is a distinguished guest of the Roscente family.”
Andrew’s voice grew colder as he looked at Emely, his tone carrying a hint of warning.
Emely was infuriated to see her cousin defending Audrey.
Emely said, “Are you kidding me? How could someone like her be a distinguished guest of the Roscente family? She’s just an ex–convict. How does she deserve it?”
Emely had been sent abroad for studies and only returned these past two days.
Today, she invited Sarah to her home, but she knew nothing about Audrey saving Samuel, and her family hadn’t mentioned it to her.
Andrew’s face darkened at Emely’s insolence and disregard for his warning, and he said. coldly, “Dominik, take her out. She’s not allowed in.”
Emely burst into tears upon hearing this.
She never expected her cousin to kick her out for the sake of a shameless woman like Audrey.
On the sidelines, Sarah also didn’t expect Andrew to defend Audrey like this. She felt somewhat resentful but didn’t dare to show it on her face.
She could only think sarcastically, ‘Andrew, you like this wretched woman, but do you know she’s cheating on you with other men behind your back? She’s shameless.”
Sarah grabbed Emely and comforted her, saying, “Emely, don’t be upset. Andrew wouldn’t treat you badly for someone else.”
The “someone else” Sarah referred to was Audrey.
Andrew naturally understood Sarah’s meaning, and his expression turned slightly cold.
At that moment, Phoebe, from the kitchen, heard the commotion and immediately walked out. Seeing Emely and Sarah crying in the living room, she instantly understood what happened.
Phoebe wasn’t particularly fond of Emely, who was quite spoiled and arrogant, often flaunting the influence of the Roscente family
But Emely wasn’t her daughter, so Phoebe couldn’t be bothered.

As soon as Phoebe came out of the kitchen, Emely immediately went over.

“Phoebe, I just said a few words to Audrey, and Andrew actually wants to kick me out. Phoebe, you have to speak up for me and kick Audrey out. What right does an ex- convict have to be in the Roscente family?” Emely grabbed Phoebe’s hand and shouted, completely oblivious to Phoebe’s suddenly darkened expression.
Even her eyes, which used to be gentle, were cold and indifferent at this moment.
Sarah didn’t notice Phoebe’s expression either, just hoping that Audrey would be quickly thrown out, preferably with Phoebe humiliating her first.
Phoebe pulled her hand out of Emely’s grasp and said coldly, “I invited Audrey and is a distinguished guest of the Roscente family. We won’t keep you here if you don’t want to see her. Dominik, escort them out.”
Phoebe was somewhat angry. She had finally managed to invite Audrey back home, never expecting her niece to come with Sarah and even to demand Audrey leave.
Phoebe knew Sarah. She was a popular star in the entertainment industry, but Phoebe always felt that Sarah was too scheming.
Phoebe’s words shocked Emely and Sarah.
Sarah looked up at Phoebe in disbelief.
How could that be possible? Audrey was actually invited by Phoebe!
Sarah was seething with hatred.
Emely asked, “Phoebe, are you serious? Audrey is an ex–convict.”
Emely couldn’t believe that Audrey was brought by Phoebe and that Phoebe treated Emely like this for an outsider.
Phoebe’s expression turned grim when Emely mentioned Audrey’s prison time twice.
“Emely, shut up and apologize to Audrey,” Phoebe said.
Emely cried even louder, “Apologize? What right does she have?”
Emely was unable to accept Phoebe’s scolding, especially since Phoebe had been kind to her before.
“Because she saved your grandfather’s life, apologize.” A deep and aged voice came from the staircase, and following that, Samuel, sitting in a wheelchair, was wheeled over
by someone.
Upon hearing Samuel’s voice, everyone in the living room was stunned. Andrew hurried over to call him, then wheeled Samuel over.
“Samuel, why did you come down?” Phoebe looked at Samuel discontentedly.
“I heard Audrey was here, so I came down to take a look,” Samuel said, his gaze sweeping over the people in the living room, finally looking at Audrey.
His voice was full of kindness and warmth as he said, “Audrey, come here, let me take a good look at you.”
Audrey looked at Samuel, then got up and walked over, but her expression remained cold.
“Good child. Thank you for saving my life.” Samuel had lived a long life and had a keen
eye.
Just by looking into Audrey’s eyes, he knew Audrey was extraordinary.
Seeing Aaron also liked Audrey, Phoebe smiled and walked over.
Phoebe said, “Samuel, you like Audrey, and so do I. How about I adopt her as my goddaughter?”
Phoebe’s face was full of joy. She really liked Audrey.
Everyone present was stunned again. Andrew glanced at his mother in surprise, then at Audrey, his eyes flickering.
Emely and Sarah were also stunned by Phoebe’s words, especially Sarah, who bit her lip tightly, staring at Audrey with jealousy and hatred.
Sarah thought hatefully, “Why? Why is Audrey favored by Samuel and Phoebe? And Phoebe even wants to adopt her as a goddaughter.”
Sarah absolutely couldn’t let Audrey climb on top of her.
After all, this was the Roscente family. The Roscente family’s status in Northville was several levels higher than the Hernandez family’s. That was beyond her reach.
It was precisely because of this that she had always been willing to be friends with Emely, indulging Emely’s arrogant and overbearing behavior.
But Sarah never imagined that what she dared not even think of would be so easily

It was precisely because of this that she had always been willing to be friends with Emely, indulging Emely’s arrogant and overbearing behavior.
But Sarah never imagined that what she dared not even think of would be so easily achieved by Audrey.
And Phoebe even wanted to adopt Audrey as a goddaughter.
Sarah was about to flare up.
“Very well. I agree.” Samuel was very happy.
With just one glance, he knew Audrey would be extraordinary in the future.
Phoebe knew Samuel would agree. She looked at Audrey tenderly and smiled, saying, “Audrey, my biggest wish in this life is to have a daughter of my own. I really like you. Will you agree to my request?
“In the future, with me and the Roscente family behind you, no one will dare to bully you. Bullying you would be the same as bullying me and the Roscente family.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Phoebe deliberately said this to Sarah.
After all, the incident where the Hernandez family expelled Audrey from their home was widely known in the upper class of Northville.
Audrey hadn’t expected that she would end up being Phoebe’s goddaughter. She furrowed her brows.
Seeing Audrey’s frown, Phoebe was afraid she might refuse. She immediately coaxed Audrey gently, “Oh dear, just agree to my request. My biggest wish in life is to have a daughter. A daughter who is well–behaved and gentle is so adorable. Unlike that jerk who doesn’t know how to cherish his mother.
Andrew, watching this scene, suddenly felt that he was being disdained.
