My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey)

Alistair rubbed his temples, a flicker of impatience crossing his eyes. "Is this the urgent matter you were talking about?"

Logan exclaimed excitedly, "Yeah, I finally found someone who resonates with my soul. Do you know how rare that is?"

Alistair scoffed coldly and asked, "Didn't you say the same thing about your last girlfriend? That was like a month ago, or was it even a month?"

"This time it's different." Unfazed by his buddy's reveal, Logan was instead quite thrilled and said, "Alistair, I think I'm about to get married soon. Get ready to celebrate at my wedding."

Alistair was genuinely surprised.

He chuckled lightly and curiously asked, "Wedding? Weren't you the one swearing off marriage?" Half a year ago, when Logan learned about his sudden marriage with Audrey, Logan pitied him, saying marriage was the end of love.

Alistair wondered, 'Why is he suddenly so keen on marriage now. Has he really found his true love?' Logan laughed heartily and said happily, "I was against marriage because I hadn't met the right person. Now I'm absolutely certain-I have to marry her."

Alistair raised an eyebrow and said noncommittally, "I wish you success."

"Haha, don't worry. I'll win her over in less than a week," Logan said with great confidence.

Alistair's eyes flickered with doubt. He was about to say something when he heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairs and a stranger's voice calling him, "Alistair."

Audrey never expected to find herself locked in the storage room on the basement level.

A little while ago, she had just come out of the restroom and ran into Yulia.

As they brushed past each other, Yulia suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Audie, during the power outage yesterday, I saw you kissing Alistair in the park's woods."

She proudly lifted her chin, her tone rebellious. "I even have pictures. Do you want to take a look now?" Audrey knew inside that Yulia didn't release the photos directly; instead, Yulia chose to come to her. Yulia must want to trade the photos for benefits.

Audrey asked, "What do you want?"

Yulia wasn't intimidated by having her plans exposed; she just grinned mischievously and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go

somewhere else to chat."

Afraid that Yulia might spread rumors and damage Alistair's reputation, Audrey had no choice but to follow her to the storage room.

She originally thought Yulia would seize the opportunity to make excessive demands, but she was surprised that Yulia was brave enough to lock her in a storage

room just before the co

began.

She thought Yulia didn't have any deep grudges against her, and since they weren't opponents in the next round, she didn't guard against Yulia.

She didn't expect to fall into such a trap.

The storage room was in the basement, with no cell signal at all.

Audrey looked around and after a moment, she noticed a wooden bench in the corner.

Her eyes lit up as she felt the weight of the bench in her hand.

bench with one hand, stepped back, took a deep breath, gathered her strength, and raised it over her head, ready to smash it against the door.

Just as the wooden bench in Audrey's hands was about to hit the door, suddenly there was the sound of

the lock being undone, and the door handle jiggled.

Audrey's eyes widened. She quickly pulled the bench back to avoid hurting anyone outside the door. The next moment, she saw a familiar face.

The moment Alistair saw Audrey, nothing else mattered. He rushed in and pulled her into his arms. Onlooker Paula was taken aback.

Kieran wasn't surprised, though. He pulled Paula away, saying thoughtfully, "Alright, we've found her. Let's give them some time alone."

Paula couldn't believe it.

Her eyes widened in shock; her mind went blank; she was pulled away by Kieran like a puppet on strings.
