Lucas passed a cigarette to Nathan and sat down beside him.
Nathan accepted the cigarette and asked, “What kind of person is Audrey?”
Lucas turned his head to look at Nathan with a curious expression as he shielded the flof his lighter with one
hand. “Ever since Audrey woke up, anyone who mentioned her to you got the cold shoulder. Why the sudden
interest? Did you remember something?”
“I'm just worried she’ll cback to cause trouble,” Nathan replied, trying to hide his
embarrassment. He lit his cigarette and added, “I have no memory of her and don’t understand her character.
It's been bothering me.”
“You're worrying unnecessarily,” Lucas said calmly, exhaling a cloud of smoke. “Audrey, despite her humble
origins, has always been proud and aloof. In my memory, she'd always been someone who sticks to her words,
especially when it cto you...
“How so?”

When Nathan pressed him for more, Lucas didn’t immediately answer. He looked at Nathan with a complicated
expression. “Nathan, now that you're divorced from Audrey, as you wanted, stop dwelling on your past with her.
If you want to have a good relationship with Amelia, look forward.”
He watched as Nathan frowned and smoked in silence. Lucas suddenly straightened his back and asked, “Be
honest... did you remember something?”
“No,” Nathan replied. He looked down and flicked the ash off his cigarette. He denied it stubbornly, I'm just
concerned she might play tricks. I'm afraid she’ll cback and affectand Amelia.”
Lucas thought carefully about Audrey’s demeanor and actions when she got her certificate. He confidently
replied, “From my understanding of Audrey, she completely let go the day she went to get the divorce certificate
with you.”
“Really?” Nathan bit his cigarette, exhaling a thin mist. His gaze dropped to his phone, muttering, That's good.”
“I heard from Amelia's cousin, Charles, that you let slip to the Yeomans family that Audrey was in Sheysea
University?” Lucas asked, fiddling with his lighter.
Nathan remained silent. He had, indeed.
That happened about a month and a half before he and Audrey were drugged and ended up together.

they set their sights on her grandfather's wealth and contacted the “Looking for Family” show.
“After the show was recorded, the family caused a scene outside the Sheysea TV station. That old woman even
threatened to jump off the building, accusing the show of bullying them and colluding with Audrey,” Lucas
recalled with a frown.
He continued, “They even did a livestream earlier. They publicly revealed Audrey's information and ordered

Nathan's head snapped up upon hearing this.
“Actually...” Lucas took a long drag of his cigarette, gathering his courage. He continued, “I didn’t tell Audrey the
whole truth that day at the hospital.”
Nathan's lips moved slightly. “What truth?”
“It was Jen who slipped the drug to Hugo. Jen’s feelings for Hugo aren't a secret, but you and Audrey drank the
spiked wine by mistake.” Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice filled with guilt.
“I told Audrey to drop the case for her sake, but... | think she knows everything. She let Jen off to tell us that our
ties have been exhausted, and she won't have anything to do with us siblings anymore.
Nathan looked shocked.
He had always refused to believe Audrey hadn't drugged him. He assumed Lucas and Audrey were putting on a
show for him. He had found it too far-fetched that Jen would drug Hugo to help Audrey.
But if it was indeed Jen who drugged Hugo. Everything made sense. He really had misunderstood. Audrey.
Lucas looked earnestly at Nathan through the drifting smoke.
He said, “So, it’s tto let Audrey go.”
