Chapter 886 Lies
When Catherine arrived, she saw Audrey squatting at the door, like an ostrich, shutting herself off.
She walked toward Audrey. Crouching on the ground, Audrey heard the footsteps. She buried her head and said in pain, "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you still here?"
Without getting a response, Audrey slowly raised her head.
When she saw that the person was Catherine, she was stunned for a moment. Her eyes unconsciously widened, obviously scared by Catherine's sudden appearance. "How did you, like, get here?"
Catherine looked at her and asked coldly, "Has Triston been here?"
Audrey wanted to deny it, but when she looked into Catherine's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to lie. "Yes!"
"Get up. We'll talk inside." With a command from Catherine, Audrey immediately got up and opened the door behind her, bringing Catherine in.
After they walked in, Audrey realized that Catherine didn't flop onto the couch as she usually did.
Catherine's posture today looked unusually upright, which was rather weird.
"Are you leaving soon?" Audrey asked.
"No, why?" Catherine looked at her with some confusion.
Audrey shook her head and quietly explained, "It's nothing. I saw how careful you are and thought you were leaving soon!"
When she was talking, she wasn't looking at Catherine, so she didn't notice the obvious change in Catherine's expression when she said those words.
"I've been standing in the lab for too long recently. My back is getting tired. Leaning against something makes it easier to get injured." Catherine fobbed off with a random excuse.
Audrey felt sorry for her and advised her to take care of her health. Knowing that it was difficult for her to listen to others' opinions because of her personality, so Audrey didn't say anything more. "Catherine, why did you suddenly come over today?"
Catherine would usually let her know in advance if she was coming to visit, but today, there was no word at all.
Catherine turned to look at Audrey. Her eyes seemed able to see right through people, making Audrey feel like there was no hidden place in front of her. What did Brian White threaten you with to make you date him?"
The abrupt words made Audrey pause for a moment. Her heart started to race in an instant, and her gaze toward Catherine became hesitant.
She didn't know if Catherine had found something or if someone had threatened Catherine, and she didn't dare to speak out about it.
After some hesitation, Audrey decided to stick with it.
She kept her head down and avoided eye contact with Catherine, trying to stay away from Catherine's influence on her.
"What else can he threaten me with? That guy threatened me that he would bother me every day if I didn't go out with him. I was just so fed up with him bothering me that I agreed. He seems like the type to get excited about something for a while, but once you agree to it, he'll get bored of it."
Audrey's half-truths and half-lies were so convincing that she even believed them herself.
Catherine squinted at Audrey, knowing Audrey was lying.
Audrey rarely lied, so she acted extremely unnaturally.
Although she had been trying really hard to control herself, Catherine could still tell at a glance. "Really? He didn't blackmail you with anything?"
Audrey deliberately raised her voice to cover up her guilt and avoid being suspected by Catherine. "Of course not, no way! Don't forget who I am, even though my status in the entertainment industry is just okay. But I still have you, right? It's no big deal if you curse at me sometimes. But if someone tries to threaten me to date him, do you think I will hide it from you?"
'You certainly will,' complained Catherine inwardly. Catherine was actually quite curious. 'What did Brian threaten Audrey with that made Audrey, who had always listened to me, suddenly start lying? There's definitely something complicated going on."
Since Audrey didn't want to talk, Catherine didn't force her. "If it's really no big deal, just forget it!"
Now that Catherine had stopped questioning, Audrey seemed to be somewhat uneasy.
She hesitated for a long time before finally asking Catherine, "Why are you suddenly asking me this?"
Catherine originally didn't want to respond to her, but seeing her look of hesitation and lingering worries, she sighed and glanced at Audrey, asking coldly, "Don't you know that every time you stand next to Brian, your face is basically screaming 'I'm annoyed'? Not just me. Everyone thinks there's something wrong with your relationship."
Catherine gave Audrey a quick rundown of the situation that Branden's driver reported last time.
"This is so awkward!" Audrey looked at Catherine helplessly, forcing a smile.

'It turns out if you really don't like the other person, even if you pretend, it would be really hard I'm an actress, and even I can't do it, so it's probably even harder for regular people,'
Audrey wondered. Visit

"Since there's nothing else, I'm getting going." With that, Catherine got up and
left.
Audrey asked her to stay for dinner, but she didn't agree.

ringing.

the phone.

"Catherine, this is all we could find. Brian White looks just like an ordinary rich kid
but is actually quite impressive. He's not simple at all."
The more ordinary someone looked, the more likely they were actually not
simple.
After all, it was not easy to make everyone think he was a useless rich heir.
"Okay, I got it. Keep me noted," replied Catherine, Branden had been super busy with the Duncan Corporation recently.
Catherine originally thought he could easily solve the crisis of information leakage, but she didn't expect that he still hadn't successfully solved it after so
many days.
Hearing that he would work overtime again tonight, Catherine decided to see Zobber during this time.
