Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 273

Hugo suddenly felt lost, his throat tightening. “Audrey…”

“Don’t worry, we were once friends. I won’t have any Improper thoughts toward you. I just don’t want Grandpa to worry about my lifelong affairs.” Audrey smiled faintly.

“Besides, if there were anything between us, the father of my child probably wouldn’t be too happy,”

Ryan’s possessiveness was almost out of control. She felt it keenly every time they were together.

“The father of your child?” Hugo was momentarily bewildered but then quickly understood. “I thought the father was-”

“Nathan?” Audrey shook her head with a smile. “It’s not him.”

“Well, congratulations!” Hugo was relieved. “Although I almost offered myself for consideration just now, I’m willing to give my blessings if you’re happy.”

“Thank you.” Audrey raised her glass.

She was indeed happy now, feeling like everything was a dream.

George had already sat down at the head of the table with his cane. Edward then came to Audrey’s side, nodding to Hugo in greeting.

He smiled at Audrey and said, “Ms. Audrey, Mr. Lambert Senior would like you to come over. He will formally introduce you to everyone in a little while.”

Audrey set her glass down and said to Hugo, “I’ll go over first.”

Hugo nodded, watching Audrey walk over to George’s side. After that, he immediately left the banquet hall to make a call, intending to stop Carol from coming over.

But before he could, Carol’s call came in.

“Hello Hugo, we’ve already arrived at the entrance. Where are you?” Carol asked cheerfully.

Hugo hadn’t expected Nathan and Carol to arrive so quickly.

He had promised Carol to bring them over today, so he could only end the call and go out to greet them.

As a legal professional, Hugo naturally knew about the affairs between the Franklin family and Evergreen Biotech.

Chapter 273

Everyone thought the Franklin Group had gotten a great deal at that time, but unexpectedly, Charles had stolen the formula from Evergreen Biotech behind their backs.

According to the contract, Franklin Group had to compensate Evergreen Blotech an amount of over 30 billion.

The Franklin Group promised to repurchase all formulas with financial support from the Gough family, which resolved the compensation Issue–barely managing to save the Franklin Group.

However, the Franklin Group still suffered heavy losses. If they could receive support, from! the Lambert Corporation to revitalize their electronics business, the group could potentially recover in a few years.

Hugo agreed to help because of the longstanding friendship between the two families and his upbringing alongside Nathan. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

But circumstances have changed now that Audrey was here.

Moreover, Edward had a respectful attitude toward Audrey just now. He wasn’t sure if Nathan, who had regained his memory, would cause trouble.

Hugo stepped out of the hotel and saw Carol and Nathan, who had reluctant expressions.

He spoke up once he approached, “Audrey is also here, Nathan. When you go in later, try not to cause trouble, and don’t get too close to Audrey.

“If something goes wrong and George’s birthday banquet is disrupted, it might not be good for the Franklin Group.”
