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

Chapter

4

Eliza was clearly shameless. It was just so frustrating to see. "How on earth did I used to be best friends with someone like her? Audrey wondered.

The moment Audrey let out her sneering, cold snort, the whole vibe in the room changed. "Eliza, you're so full of yourself now, huh? You should be living the dream after I let you take everything from me, yet here you are, sulking all the time. Aren't you tired of it?" Eliza's expression froze for a second, but then she went back to her usual look of hurt. She choked out, "Audrey, I think you've got it all wrong. I never meant for it to happen!"

She put on a heartbroken act, wiping away fake tears as she continued. "It's all because I had such a rough childhood, and that's made me so weak. I just end up being a burden. I'm so sorry! I'll just leave."

She started to head for the door, but Fiona, who had been feeling heartbroken watching this unfold, quickly stopped her. "Eliza, come back! This is your home. You don't have to go, Fiona said gently.

Although they hadn't done the paternity test yet, Fiona had already decided in her heart that Eliza was her daughter. There was no way she could let her leave. Besides, Eliza had been through so much-her whole life was a tough story.

Not wanting to leave, Eliza looked down, hiding her emotions, and begged, "Mrs. Rhodes, please, let me go. Audrey will be upset if I stay."

She struggled a bit, her tear-streaked face looking more fragile by the second. Fiona hugged her tightly, patting her back as her eyes shot daggers at Audreynoveldrama

Eliza, still nestled in Fiona's embrace, glanced at Dominic with those red, watery eyes. "Dominic, I'm really sorry for how things turned out and for causing you to fight with Audrey. You should talk to her. I know it's been tough with everything you've been through together." Seeing Eliza so sad yet still concerned about him made Dominic's heart ache even more.

He shot a disappointed look at the cold-eyed Audrey and said, "Audrey, why do you have to be so aggressive? Eliza can't control being sick."

He was even wondering how the once gentle and understanding Audrey turned into this.

Even Fiona jumped in to help, saying, "Come on, Audrey, it's already happened. Just let it go. You and Dominic's wedding doesn't have to happen today."

It felt like everyone-her mother who raised her, her boyfriend of years-were both siding against her for Eliza, looking down. on her and judging her harshly.

Audrey was the one whose wedding had been ruined, yet it felt like she was the one being accused of a crime. It was just so ironic

Meanwhile, Eliza was still quietly sobbing, and neither Fiona nor Dominic seemed to catch what Audrey said.

Seeing Eliza so upset, Fiona added, "Audrey, why are you just standing there? Go comfort Eliza! Apologize to her. She's not well, and how can she handle all this crying?"

Audrey was at a loss for words. She realized she'd underestimated them once again. Just when she thought she'd seen their true colors, they surprised her with another blow.

"Not well, huh?" Audrey scoffed, stormed into the living room, pulled out a thick medical report from a drawer, and slammed it down in front of them. "Take a good look and see what exactly is wrong with her!"

Fiona froze, clearly uncomfortable with the sudden outburst, her face flushing coldly. But then she noticed Audrey's pale expression and began to sense something was off. Eventually, she picked up the medical report and started reading.

Dominic leaned in to look as well. As they flipped through the pages, the expressions on Fiona's and Dominic's faces became more and more perplexed.

The report revealed that Eliza had been completely healthy from childhood through adulthood.
