Fiona realized that as long as she gave everything she got from the divorce to Audrey, Audrey would definitely not abandon her. 

Audrey didn’t respond to Fiona’s words. She talked to Fiona briefly and hung up the phone. 

At this time, Alistair walked up from behind wearing slippers and carrying a white scarf. He wrapped it around Audrey from behind and said, “It’s getting a little chilly these days. Stay warm and don’t catch a cold.” 

Audrey lifted her hand to feel the soft, fluffy scarf and turned around with a shy smile, biting her lip gently. She said, “Thank you.” 

Alistair raised his hand to adjust her scarf and tucked her stray hair behind her ear as he gently asked, “You don’t look well. Did something happen?” 

Audrey sighed, worried, and replied, “Albert ended up in jail. This news can’t be kept secret, and the company must be in chaos today.” 

Those shareholders would definitely come to Audrey to ask for news. 

Alistair didn’t seem surprised at all. He just said calmly, “If you don’t want to deal with it, then just don’t go. Skipping work for one day won’t make the company collapse.” 

In any case, it was merely a small company. If it were to fail, that would be the end of it. 

As for why Albert ended up in jail, Alistair didn’t care; he was only worried that Audrey might feel upset at work today. 

Audrey grasped Alistair’s concerns, yet she shook her head and declined firmly, “I cannot. I’m the sole person responsible for the work now. If I were to ease up, everything would collapse. It’s all part of my plan. Although it’s somewhat challenging, I am coping.” 

Alistair had anticipated her answer. He sighed helplessly, playfully poking her forehead, and said with a chuckle, “You’re such a workaholic.” 

Audrey smiled and, before leaving, stood on her tiptoes to kiss the corner of his lips. 

Then, without waiting for Alistair to respond, she quickly shut the door and dashed off. 

On the way to the office, Audrey got a call from Peter. 

As soon as the call connected, Peter’s anxious voice came through, “Audrey, we saw the news this morning about Albert being arrested. Will this trouble you?” 

Peter wasn’t really concerned about what Albert had done to get arrested. 

He just remembered that Audrey was still working at Rhodes Enterprises, and felt uneasy, afraid she might get caught up 

the mess. 

Feeling touched, Audrey reassured Peter, “Dad, he engaged in some illegal activities. It won’t involve me. Don’t worry.” Hearing this, Peter felt relieved and sighed. 

A few seconds later, Jessica took the phone from Peter, constantly murmuring thanks to the heavens. She told Audrey, “That’s good. You really scared us, Audrey.

“Perhaps you should leave your job at Rhodes Enterprises. It seems like the company isn’t going to last. Come home and rest for a couple of days. We will take care of you.”

In the background, Trevor and Miles could faintly be heard over the phone, “And me, I can also earn money to support Audrey… I can start earning after I graduate.” 

Hearing her family’s caring and 

I words, Audrey felt incredibly moved. 

She usually wasn’t sentimental, but now her eyes were a bit misty. She gently said, “It’s okay, Mom. I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry about me. Once I handle everything, I’ll go home.” 

Jessica smiled and replied, “Alright. We believe in you. Goodbye
