Audrey was very curious. What would Caroline do next? Find an opportunity to get Linda to come forward and say that she had already broken off her engagement with Jerry? Or would she give her a large sum of money and let her disappear from the public's sight?
What Audrey didn't expect was that she didn't get any specific traces of Linda's hiding place. Instead, she received a call from Linda's biological sister, Tina.
As night fell, Audrey was lying on the bed memorizing her script when she was suddenly disturbed by a ringtone.
At first, Audrey thought that Anna was looking for her for something. She didn't expect to see an unknown number when she picked up her phone.
Audrey originally didn't want to pick it up, but her phone kept ringing, so she had no choice but to pick it up. "Hello?"
Soon, an anxious voice sounded from the other end of the phone. "Audrey? Are you home?"
Wait, this voice?
Audrey asked uncertainly, "You are..."
"I'm Tina!" The person on the other end of the phone quickly gave Audrey an affirmative reply.
Audrey found it strange. "Tina? What's the matter?"
Audrey had never been familiar with Tina. Why would she call her today?
Tina didn't waste any time and directly said what she wanted to ask. "You were so close to Linda previously. Has Linda contacted you recently?"
Thinking of what Anna had said earlier in the day about Linda's mysterious disappearance, Audrey had a thought. 'What exactly are you doing?
Tina obviously didn't have much patience. "That troublesome girl disappeared for no reason. Now that the Lake family has come to ask for her, they even said sarcastically that our family didn't want a marriage alliance and deliberately hid Linda."
"Ah? Didn't she go on vacation?" Audrey couldn't believe it. If she remembered correctly, the Weibo post she had scrolled through earlier in the day clearly said that Jerry had told the public that Linda and Caroline had gone on vacation...
Although it was very likely to be fake.
However, Audrey couldn't understand. Since the Lake Family wanted to destroy this engagement, it was fine if they threatened and bribed Linda, but why were they asking the Rofus Family for her now?
Could it be that Linda wasn't in the Lake family's hands and had actually escaped?
Audrey was surprised by her guess.
Audrey didn't know if the Lake family had directed and put on a good show, or if Linda had indeed run away. However, Audrey was more inclined to the latter.
What Audrey understood was that if it was the Lake Family who was calling the shots, what was the purpose of doing so? Audrey couldn't figure it out, so she believed that Linda had found an opportunity to escape because she didn't want to marry Jerry.
As for the Lake family, they could only lie that Linda and Caroline had gone on vacation. However... Audrey was very curious. With Caroline's swift and decisive methods, how did she let Linda escape under her nose?
Strange, it was too strange.
"It's not a vacation!" Tina gave Audrey an affirmative answer. "The Lake Family has gone too far. They even said that if our Rofus Family doesn't hand Linda over within a month, we won't be polite. Our two families have previously worked together on many businesses. If our business is ruined because of Linda, I won't let her off."
Upon hearing this, Audrey understood.
Tina was in a hurry to look for Linda because she was afraid that the Lake Family would directly terminate the business contract with the Rofus Family. The Rofus Family's assets were inferior to the Lake Family to begin with. All these years, the Rofus Family had always been backed by the Lake Family and had earned a lot of money from it.
If Linda didn't appear, the Rofus Family would definitely suffer the greatest losses. No wonder Tina had to call her now to ask if she knew Linda's whereabouts.
Audrey didn't have any sympathy for Linda. Besides, she really didn't know Linda's whereabouts.
"Miss Tina, I think you've found the wrong person." Audrey flipped through the script and said, "Linda and I have long cut ties. Can't you tell? She's hiding now. How can she tell me? Aren't you afraid that I'll betray her?"
Audrey was telling the truth.
In the original book, Linda had gained a lot of benefits from Audrey and even instigated her to do many bad things. This included Audrey setting up the persona of a rich family's daughter in the entertainment industry, constantly finding trouble with the female lead, Elena, and the subsequent competition with Abner and the others for the family assets. Linda had contributed a lot..
