Chapter 285
“Uncle George, look at these three photos!”
Lyra flipped through the three pictures and showed them to George. “These were taken at your birthday banquet. Ryan and his fiancée, Ms. Cecilia, secretly met with Audrey. “Who knows what they were plotting! Uncle George, they have no blood ties with you, so you have to be cautious!”
“That’s an interesting thing to say,” Ryan said sarcastically as he and Audrey entered.
George’s frowning brows relaxed when he saw Ryan and Audrey. He then glanced at Edward.
Edward smiled and handed George a cup of hot tea, whispering, “It’s time to let the younger generation fend for you.”
George smiled without saying a word as if agreeing with Edward’s words.
Wilfred froze when he saw Audrey enter. Although he had seen pictures of Audrey during his investigation, he never expected Audrey to look so much like Wanda.
At first, George adopted Ryan because he couldn’t find his daughter. He decided to adopt Ryan when he noticed that Ryan’s eyes were exactly like his daughter’s.
Wilfred never expected that a relative from Ryan’s family could resemble Wanda to such an extent. No wonder George allowed Audrey to become Wanda’s adopted daughter.
Lyra also glanced at Audrey with narrowed eyes.
She had seen Wanda before, and Audrey was indeed remarkably similar to her so that Lyra couldn’t help but wonder if Audrey had undergone plastic surgery.
There was no discernible difference between Audrey and the photos of her.
– so much
Yet for some reason, Audrey, who stood before her, bore a striking resemblance to Wanda–both in temperament and demeanor.
“Grandpa,” Audrey greeted George. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“Have a seat.”
Audrey nodded and took her seat, looking up to see the two children upstairs waving at
her.
She smiled and accepted the tea offered by Paige, thanking her thereafter.
Ryan stood by the coffee table and handed a document folder to Edward. “Who should we be cautious of in this family? I believe everyone will know the answer to that once you’ve seen this,” Ryan spoke up.
Edward opened the document folder and handed the contents to George.
Taking advantage of George’s momentary distraction as he looked through the documents, Wilfred stood up excitedly.
He pointed his finger at Ryan and shouted, “Who should we be cautious of? It’s you! Not only did you get George to adopt you as a foster son, but you also brought in your relatives! Ryan, don’t think I don’t know. This Audrey is a relative of your original family.
“You’ve been using our Lambert Corporation’s projects to support the Franklin family, all because they’ve been helping you take care of this relative! Did you think I wouldn’t know?”
Wilfred became increasingly agitated as he spoke, hobbling on his cane toward Ryan.
However, when he looked up at the towering Ryan, his confidence seemed to diminish.
