My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey) novel Chapter 302

The socialites she brought were getting impatient from not seeing Mr. Hayes.

Now, seeing her snubbed by Francis, they couldn't help but chuckle.

"Zephyra, you kept saying you were the esteemed aunt of Mr. Sunny Hayes, but it turns out you were bluffing?"

"I know! How could the Hayes family have such an unsuitable relative? So it's you forced your way in."

Zephyra was boiling inside, but she didn't dare lose her cool with these people, and certainly not with Francis, who had thrust her into the limelight with just one sentence.

She had some pent-up frustration with no outlet, so she dragged Audrey down with her.

She said, "Mr. Francis Hayes, it's fine if you don't recognize me, but we were just discussing how this woman plans to harm Mr. Sunny Hayes. Since you're here, please don't let this malicious woman get away!"

She hadn't forgotten her purpose in coming here today; if she was having a hard time, then Audrey shouldn't expect an easy ride either.

Francis had noticed Audrey early on. He sized her up subtly, but really, there was nothing to fault in her appearance or demeanor.

But this daughter-in-law was secretly found by his son and married hastily at another's wedding. Just the thought of it made Francis feel a bit uneasy.

To top it off, his cherished grandson didn't even glance at him but held onto Audrey tightly, making him feel rather bitter.

Thinking that both his son and grandson had been completely charmed by Audrey, Francis deliberately kept a stern face, glowering at her as if interrogating a criminal.

He asked, "Is what they're saying true? Are you really trying to get rid of Sunny to clear the way for yourself?"

Faced with Francis's questioning, Audrey replied calmly, "I see Sunny as my own son; how could I ever intentionally harm him?"
