Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Carol was unable to stay calm. She gritted her teeth and asked, “Are you saying this because you're afraid our family will fight for custody of the child?”

“Mrs. Franklin, as | said before, I’m willing to do a paternity test.” Audrey calculated the time. “The child is currently with my husband’s family. If we need to do a paternity test, it'll probably be in about 20 days. You can contact me anytime.”

Hopefully, Carol would still be in the mood to discuss paternity testing with her 20 days later.

With Audrey's firm stance, Carol couldn’t make up her mind. She let out a long sigh and looked at

Audrey.

“Audrey, since the child isn’t Nathan’s, you should just leave! Don’t come back to the country! It’s better for everyone!” “Mrs. Franklin, | have my own plans in life.”

Carol couldn’t contain her anger, her voice rising as she commanded, “Then change your life plans!”

Audrey chuckled softly. “That's not for you to say.”

“You!” Carol’s chest heaved dramatically. “Our family has raised a backstabber!”

“Mrs. Franklin, | am grateful for the support the Franklin family provided me in those years, wasn’t without reason. If the Franklin family hadn’t taken me in back then, would the Lambert Corporation have assisted the Franklin Group? Would the Franklin Group have reached its current

Carol didn’t expect Audrey to be so forthright about this matter.

She became angry and sneered at Audrey. “Things have indeed changed. With Mr. Lambert from the Lambert Corporation backing you up, you've learned to talk back.”

“Mr. Lambert has been supporting me for a long time.” Audrey stepped aside. “If Mrs. Franklin doesn’t want tea, then please leave.”

Carol approached Audrey and whispered, “Without Ryan, you’re nothing! Even then, he’s just an adopted son of the Lambert family. Without the Lambert family, Ryan would also be nothing.”

Audrey smiled and nodded. “Do you want me to pass on that message to Mr. Lambert?” Carol hadn't changed at all. She still had a quick temper and often said things she shouldn’t-leaving Chapter 177

herself vulnerable.

Carol's temper was precisely why she lost the battle against the mistress three years ago. Even though Carol and Nathan's father hadn’t divorced yet, he hadn’t been home for a year.

Carol only calmed down after slamming the car door shut. She regretted her outburst, realizing she shouldn't have said that about Ryan.

She had previously instructed her private investigator to find Audrey’s whereabouts and discovered that Audrey had been frequenting casinos, which made her worry about her grandchild’s well-being

at home. How could she tolerate Audrey abandoning her granddaughter to gamble with others all night? She was furious and couldn’t think of anything else.

“Drive!” She vented her anger at the driver.
