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

Violet didn't notice the guilty tone in Audrey's voice. She was lost in her regret. She clutched her heart with distress as she said, "How is it not serious? I'd be paraded around in shame in the fangirl circles for this kind of behavior."

Audrey gave an awkward chuckle and said, "I'm sorry, but I had no idea he was Jason beforehand."

"Do you think I can still trust you?" Violet scoffed, sounding displeased, "This world where only I face social death, let it be destroyed."

Hearing her dramatic words, Audrey couldn't help but laugh.

Violet said, "How can you still laugh?" She got even more upset. She slapped her thigh and said, "You need to make it up to me, or I won't forgive you."

Knowing Violet was upset, Audrey was happy to go along and asked, "Alright, what do you want as compensation?"

"I want Jason's autograph," Violet declared boldly. The next moment, she feared she might be asking for too much, she cautiously asked, "Is that okay?"

Audrey thought, 'Why wouldn't it be okay?' She chuckled and replied, "Sure, I can get him to sign it for you, as many as you need."

Surprisingly, Violet wasn't upset but excitedly said, "That won't do. I only need one. Don't tire out my idol."

Audrey replied, "Violet, you've changed." She added inside, 'You're no longer that thoughtful friend who always looked out for your friends.'

Violet confidently said, "I just upset my idol. Shouldn't I try to make it right?"

Audrey smiled with resignation and didn't argue.

Thinking about getting Jason's autograph soon, Violet was thrilled. With her inner gossip spirit awakened, she asked, "Honestly, Audrey, did you have no clue your husband is Jason beforehand?"

Audrey admitted, "Honestly, I didn't know."

Violet didn't believe it and said defiantly, "I don't buy it. You once declared you'd only ever marry Jason. Would you agree to a quick marriage with him if you didn't know who he was?"

Audrey replied, "When I rushed into marriage with him, it was purely because of his looks. Besides, when did I ever say something like that? I don't remember at all."

Such a dramatic statement seemed more like something Violet would say.

Violet let out a cold laugh and said, "I knew you wouldn't admit it. Do you remember Luke, the heartthrob, who used to chase after you?"

"I remember," Audrey said through clenched teeth. That memory resurfaced after she recently saw Sienna, which brought back the darkest time of her school days.

Luke had persistently annoyed Audrey from middle school through high school like a pesky patch of glue. Audrey wondered what Sienna saw in Luke. Audrey doubted, 'But what's this got to do with my saying I will marry Jason?' Violet said, "Do you remember how you first turned down Luke's confession?" Audrey'd rejected Luke so many times that the memories blurred together. But with Violet's reminder, the memories slowly resurfaced.

Luke first confessed to Audrey when she had just started middle school. He saw her for the first time and immediately said he liked her, but she politely declined right away.

But Luke was persistent and shameless. He harassed Audrey, bought her breakfast and delivered milk every morning, and tried to engineer accidental meetings. The rumors at school kept escalating.

Fed up, when Luke cornered Audrey at the school gate again, insisting on walking

her home, she finally spoke up, "I only admire guys with real talent.

"Other than having a barely decent face, your grades are the worst. There's nothing about you I like."

At that moment, everyone watching was shocked, and even Luke, who always prided himself on his looks, almost broke down in tears.

His face was always popular with the girls, but to Audrey, it was just average. For a moment, Luke's pride took a heavy blow and his eyes reddened. Yet he said, "You like

outstanding guys, I'll work hard for you."

Back then, Audrey replied, "There's no need." Looking at Luke without expression, she continued, "Intelligence is innate. If you can't even understand my rejection and insist on misunderstanding me, you must have water in your brain. noveldrama

"I like guys like Jason, who are both talented and smart. Even if I date someone,

it'll only be Jason."
