As soon as she entered her room,Audrey flew into a rage. She cursed nonstop and smashed everything she could to the floor. However, nothing quelled the fire in her chest.
“Bitch! You fucking bitch! Except for that face, what else do you have? Even if you’re together now, so what? You’re barren! Everything of Brandon’s will be mine! And those sycophants I’ll fire them all I’ll become the lady of the Larson family, and then we’ll see if you’re still as smug!”
Her room echoed with sharp curses. The malevolence in her eyes and the twisted rage on her face looked terrifying.
Exhausted from her tirade,Audrey stroked her lower abdomen and smiled viciously “Audrey, I’m not only replacing you, but I’m also going to become your cousin’s wife.Maybe I’ll even bear a child who’ll be your nephew Your death will then be worth it.s Audrey’s sinister smile grew wider and wider.”If it weren’t for you, I would never have had the chance to get close to Brandon and live in his villa. I will definitely pay visit to your grave after I kick that woman out.”
As it turned out, the woman was not the real Audrey.
The real Audrey had alreadydied from an illness, and she was only someone who looked similar to the real AudreyShe even underwent plastic surgery to reduce her chances of being recognized as a fake. With hernew look, she inherited millionsofdollarsfrom Alina, Audrey’s mother.
She had planned to leave Alina’s ashes in the crematorium before leaving with the huge fortune. However, a mysterious person found her out as she was about to leave.
“I know you are not the real Audrey. Audrey died a long time ago. You are just a fake,” said the mysterious person.
Audrey was stunned. If this person exposed her secret, The wealthy life she dreamed of would be instantly ruined. Not only would she not get the inheritance but she would also likely be jailed!
She trembled in fear and plopped down on her knees, begging themysteriousperson shamelessly”Please don’t expose me! I will give you half of the inheritance.No I will give you 70% if you don’t expose me!
The mysterious person was not interested in Alina’s wealth. Instead,he sneered disdainfully”I don’t care about the money. I need you for something else.”
“What do you need?”
A cruel smile appeared on themysterious person’s face. Greediness flashed across his narrowed eyes as he asked her slowly,”Do you know Brandon Larson?”
Audrey was stunned. “Brandon Larson? Are you talking about the billionaire?”
“Yes,” the mysterious person replied while chuckling. He then stared at her meaningfully and asked,”Do you know Audrey’s real identity?” Audrey shook her head blankly. She only knew that Audrey’s mother had left her millions of dollars of inheritance and that she had no other close relatives. That was why she dared to take Audrey’s and inherit the wealth. As for further details, she didn’t delve into them.
A sudden thought occurred to her, and she asked in disbelief,”Is she Brandon’s relative?””Bingo!” the mysterious person exclaimed as he snapped his fingers. “Audrey is Brandon’s cousin, and Alina, her dead mother, is Brandon’s aunt.”
Audrey widened her eyes in disbelief. Although she had guessed that Audrey and Brandon were related, she wouldn’t have thought they were cousins by blood!
“The millions of inheritance Alina left for Audrey is nothing compared to what you can get if you stick by Brandon’s side. If you can make him believe you are the real Audrey, you can inherit greater assets from the Larson Group!” the mysterious person said, tempting her to do his bidding.
Audrey started trembling in excitement. The mysterious person described her prospects as if he was gradually unfolding a scroll and drawing her bright future.
Although his words excited her, her rationality was not lost. She asked hesitantly”As far as I know,Brandon is married.As long as they have a child, I would be deemed as unimportant. Wouldn’t that mean that I’m useless to the Larsons?”
The mysterious person sneered, “A child? Don’t worry.That wife is infertile. You will be the sole inheritor of the Larson Group.”
Audrey’s hear rate accelerated at the news. She had seen Brandon in magazines. He looked like a perfect man,cold but charismatic.He was someone people usually admired from a distance.
She had fallen in love with him the moment she laid eyes on him in the magazine. Now that she had a chance to get close to Brandon, how could she settle to be only his cousin?
Since Natalie was infertile, let her bear Brandon’s child instead!
Early the next morning, Audrey came to the mansion’s gardenandpatiently waited for Brandon.Sherepeatedlyinstructedthe bodyguards to notify her as soon as he was up. But after hours of waiting, he was nowhere to be seen.
The scorching sunlight was starting to make Audrey dizzy. Just when she was about to lose her temper and question the bodyguards, her gaze caught sight of a pair of graceful hands parting the French window on the second floor. Wearing silk pajamas, Natalie languidly stepped onto the balcony and stretched. When she gazed down at the flowers in the garden, she spotted an unfamiliar woman squinting at her. The strange woman was Audrey. Natalie had never seen her before,so she did not know that Audrey was Brandon’s cousin. Thinking that the woman was just one of her former friends, Natalie asked, “Hello, are you here for me?”
The friendly greeting from Natalie left Audrey at a loss. Before she could respond,a tall figure appeared behind Natalie.
Brandon was wearing a night robe with the same color as Natalie’s. The belt around his waist outlined his tall figure and fit shape. Under the bright sunshine, he looked regal yet indifferent, like a noble man straight out of a painting.
It was the first time Audrey had seen such a handsome man. With an enchanting smile on her face, she called out softly,”Brandon.”
However, Brandon did not even spare her a glance. He instead wrapped his arms around Natalie and planted a kiss on her cheek.
Out of the corner of her eye, Natalie noticed the woman downstairs staring at her without blinking. Embarrassed, her cheeks turned red, and she patted Brandon on the chest.”Someone’s watching us downstairs.”
Brandon glanced at Audrey with displeasure and impatience in his eyes.
Why was this cousin,who just popped out from nowhere,not sensible at all? Why was she still standing there despite seeing him make out with his wife?
Brandon never like this woman before and now disliked her even more. Regardless of her identity, even if she truly was his cousin, he had no desire for a stranger to come and disturb his peace at home.
He had to send this womanaway as soon as possible.
With narrowed eyes,Brandon withdrew his gaze from the womanand rubbedhis chin against Natalie’s forehead”Let her be!”
A little uncomfortable being watched, Natalie hid behind Brandon and asked,”Who is she anyway? Why is she here so early?”
“She came to me yesterday and claimed to be my cousin. Don’t worry. She’ll leave soon,” Brandon casually replied. Then, he recapped Audrey’s sudden arrival at the mansion last night.
With confusion written all over her face, Natalie nodded and asked, “Is she really your cousin?””Who knows? Maybe, but it doesn’t matter,” Brandon said with a shrug. He paused for a couple of seconds,and a sly smile then formed on his lips.”For me, the only person I care about is you. If you don’t like her,she’ll be gone.” His voice was low and hoarse as he spoke. As Natalie felt his hot breath on her ear,she lowered her eyes and said,”Since she’s your cousin, I’ll let her stay here from time to time.”
Brandon raised an eyebrow and pinched her cheek dotingly.”Good girl.
With a reddened face, Natalie cast a glance at Audrey.
Although the woman downstairs was looking at her with an unfriendly expression Natalie was determined to treat her kindly since she was Brandon’s cousin. After all,he only had a few relatives left.
