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

"Why do you say Eliza is the cause of all this?" Audrey frowned and stared at Miles.

"This was ten years ago..." Miles reminisced.

"Audrey. Although Trevor looks timid and easy to bully now, he used to be powerful. He was sturdy and clever, and his grades were always outstanding.

"At that time, everyone thought Trevor could get into the best university in Riverdale and lead our family to a good life.

"The family has high hopes for Trevor. He has never disappointed Dad and Mom. His exam results were getting better and better every time. Unfortunately, good times don't last long...

"On the evening before SAT, Eliza suddenly had an idea and asked Trevor to bring her to the nearby mountain. She said she wanted to catch fireflies to make a wish for Trevor, hoping Trevor could achieve good results.

"Trevor didn't believe in these things, but he brought her out because he didn't want to disappoint Eliza.

"On the way, Eliza let go of Trevor's hand and ran across the road alone. She was almost hit by a car.

"Trevor rushed up to save her, but he injured his leg in this car accident. He was unconscious for two days and missed the SAT.

"When Trevor woke up and found out he had become lame, he couldn't accept it for a moment. He was listless and said that all of this was fate. Mom and Dad let him rest and take it next year.

"But the person who hit Trevor with the car escaped. Our family didn't get any compensation and spent all our savings to treat Trevor. Trevor probably felt sorry for our parents and didn't want to increase the burden on this family. He was unwilling to continue his studies no matter what. His brilliant life ended in advance because of this sudden accident.

"Mom couldn't take this blow and was depressed all day long. In the end, she became sick from worry. From then on, she was plagued by small illnesses. Our family didn't have the money to treat her, so she became seriously ill."noveldrama

Audrey could not help but clench her fists as she listened.

She thought, 'So many things have happened in the past... How dare Eliza disdain the Harper family for being poor? She even compared herself to others. Didn't she feel guilty at all?'

Miles's expression was also very dark. He added indignantly, "Dad and Mom didn't allow us to mention this at home previously. They were afraid that Eliza would feel guilty if she heard it. Even Trevor thought it was his problem. He was worried if he said too much, Eliza would feel pressured.

"But I think Eliza doesn't care about this at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have repaid kindness with ingratitude. She knew that with Mom's body, she couldn't be agitated, but she still deliberately went to the hospital to cause trouble."

If Eliza had any conscience, she would not have severed ties with the Harper family so decisively after knowing that she was the daughter of a rich family.

It was as if she was afraid that the Harper family would pester her and take advantage of her.

After hearing this, Audrey felt a strong sense of disgust toward Eliza for the first time.

"So, Audrey, you should understand why Trevor locked himself up, right?"

Miles said firmly, "He can't get over it now. As long as you interact with him more, he'll know you're ten thousand times better than Eliza sooner or later."

Jessica, who was in the kitchen, had just cut some fruits and brought them out. When she heard this, she added, "That's right, Audrey. Trevor is the most sensible person. He definitely won't have any opinions about you because of this." Hearing their consolation, Audrey was slightly relieved.

Soon, an hour passed. Jessica and Peter made a table full of delicious food.

Trevor did not come out for dinner. He only said that he had no appetite.

Peter and Jessica knew he felt terrible, so they did not force him. They didn't want Audrey to worry too much, so they comforted her again.

In the end, it was Audrey who comforted them.

The meal was a joyous one.

After dinner, Miles took the initiative to go into the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

Audrey sat in the living room with Peter and Jessica and watched television.

They were eating snacks and fruits when Audrey suddenly felt a strong gaze on her.

She looked up in confusion and saw Peter looking at her hesitantly as if he had a lot to say to her.

Audrey raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Mr... Dad, what's wrong?"

She had thought she might not be used to calling him that, but the hurdle in her heart no longer existed when she thought about how the Harper family people had accepted her.

Peter took a deep breath. His eyes were slightly red from when she called him "Dad." He said softly, "Audrey. Since you called me 'Dad,' I'll take it as you've acknowledged that we're family. I've always wanted to ask for your opinion on something." "Please go ahead." Audrey looked at him obediently.

"Audrey, have you ever thought about getting a divorce?" Peter asked.
