Chapter 243
Blair clenched her fists, staring at Audrey, "Wendy and I turned against each other because someone used my account to publicize her scandals. It was you who did that, right?"
Audrey smiled and admitted, "Yes!"
Hearing this, Blair closed her eyes helplessly. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
As she expected, Audrey did that. She almost forgot it because she won over Wendy at the press conference after they turned against and broke up with each other.
Recalling the whole story, she got shocked into a cold sweat.
Since the first meeting, Audrey had been scheming against her step by step. Now ... she had finally fallen into the trap Audrey had set up and couldn't see any possible turnaround.
After answering Blair, Audrey left.
Blair stared at Audrey's back blankly.
She regretted what she had done. Why had she promised Wendy to call Audrey's grandmother, thus resulting in her grandmother's car accident? If she had not made that call, the Stanton family would not have ended in such a sorry state.
At worst, she would be put into prison for a few years, due to the law case related to her father's company. However, she knew that Audrey would not let her off lightly.
All this was caused by Wendy.
Blair's eyes were filled with hatred. She resisted the impulse to find Wendy and tear her apart immediately.
On second thought, the hatred on Blair's face turned into mockery.
She didn't need to do it in person. Audrey would not let Wendy off the hook.
She was the first and the next ... would be Wendy.
Later, Mr. Stanton, the chairman of the Stanton Group was arrested and charged with tax evasion, deceiving consumers by low-quality cosmetics, transferring properties, accepting bribes and so on. He was fined ten million Yuan and sentenced to life imprisonment with all properties confiscated.
Blair was sentenced to 50 years of set term of imprisonment because she helped her father launder money and absconded with the money.
To Blair, 50 years of set term of imprisonment was equivalent to life imprisonment. She had to spend the rest of her life in prison.
The Stanton Group fell in Peace City.
...
On the very day when the cases of Josh and Blair came to verdict, Harold's exam results came out. He successfully passed the final exam with top ten grades.
Audrey took Harold to the Grandma's cemetery.
Harold and Audrey placed a bouquet of carnations respectively in front of Madam Cordova's tombstone.
Looking at her portrait, Audrey signed with emotion. "Grandma, I have found Quentin. The one standing next to me is Quentin. He has grown up."
Harold's eyes turned red and knelt down in front of the gravestone, "Grandma, I am Quentin. I come to see you. I was so ridiculous that I felt ashamed to see you after Audrey brought me back to Peace City. But now ... I have been successfully enrolled in University A. Next semester, I will be a junior student. I promise to be a grandson who will make you proud in the future."
Audrey looked at Harold warmly.
When she looked back at portrait on the tombstone, her eyes turned red, too.
She thought to herself, 'Grandma, I came here today to tell you something. The person who called you, Blair, has already received her retribution. She has been sentenced to fifty years of imprisonment. As long as I am alive, I will not let her see any turnaround again. As to the culprit behind this, I will find them to avenge you. Don't worry and rest in peace!'
After leaving the cemetery, Harold looked at Audrey happily. "Audrey, on such a happy day, let's go to have something delicious!"
Audrey squinted at him, "You are always eating!"
"You said that I was always studying and I should have more delicious food!"
"I said that before. Now, it is different."
"Audrey, does my brother-in-law know that you are so capricious? Aren't you afraid that he will abandon you after he finds out that you abused me?" Harold said with a huff.
"Even if he abandons me, he would do it because of the brother-in-law. You got it?" Audrey pinched Harold's face.
Harold quickly stopped her.
"Dear Audrey, be gentle. I have to live on it!"
The two of them left, talking and laughing.
On their leaving, a Cadillac stopped at the entrance of the cemetery.
Toby walked out of the car.
When he looked aside, he saw Audrey and Harold leaving.
At first glance, they looked exactly like Audrey and Quentin.
Toby frowned. When he wanted to take a closer look, they had already turned around.
He looked away and thought.
Perhaps ... he was mistaken.
Audrey was abroad. How could she return and show up here?
Quentin had already disappeared when he was three years old. How could he appear here?
Therefore, he must have mistaken others as them just now.
How could he suddenly think of the two of them? Perhaps it was because his mind was in chaos as he was getting older.
With this thought, he turned and walked into the cemetery.
When Toby walked to Madam Cordova's tombstone, he saw two bundles of carnations placed in front of it.
The dewdrops on carnations' petals were still there, indicating that the people paying respects to Madam Cordova had just arrived this morning.
Could it be...
Toby subconsciously grabbed the grave keeper who was cleaning the place.
The grave keeper was startled.
"Sir, what's up?"
Toby pointed at Madam Cordova's tombstone. "Did someone come to pay respects to my mother just now?"
The grave keeper took a look and then nodded.
"Yes, it's a pair of young people."
Toby was shocked. Could it be the two of them?
"Then do you know who they are?" Toby asked subconsciously.
"I heard the boy call the girl Audrey. The girl calls the boy Quen... Quen..." The grave keeper frowned and thought hard, but he could not think of more.
Toby stared at the grave keeper's face and slowly said, "Quentin!"
"Yes, that's the name, Quentin!" The grave keeper came to a sudden realization and nodded repeatedly, "I heard that Audrey called the boy by that name. Yes, it was Quentin."
It was Quentin, indeed.
Toby's eyes suddenly widened.
Quentin ... could it be...
Toby suddenly turned around and ran out of the cemetery.
However, when he returned to the intersection, he could not see even a single person.
