Then, Nolan said, "I also told you to trust me. Do you still remember that?"
When Audrey heard that, tears suddenly started to roll down uncontrollably. Then, she ended the call right away. She was worried she wouldn't be able to control herself and start crying. That would only make him worry about her more.
Of course, she wanted to trust Nolan, no matter what they were facing. However, she couldn't do it this time.
After all, the tables had turned in the Baxter family, and Shaun was the head of the family at that moment. Gregory was also going to deal with Nolan.
None of them could be offended, so Audrey only had one choice if she wanted to ensure Nolan's safety. However, it was really painful for her.
Not able to hold it back any longer, Audrey cried out loud. That was the second time she had cried that day, and her eyes had become swollen.
At that moment, George and Courtney had finally returned. When they saw Audrey bawling her eyes out on the couch, they exchanged a quick glance and hurriedly approached her.
"Audrey, what's wrong? Everyone was fine earlier, so why are you so sad now? Please cheer up!" Courtney said with a broken heart.
Then, George said solemnly, "What in the world happened, Audrey? You can tell me about it. Did Mr. Baxter bully you or something?
"Don't worry. You're my daughter, and I'll always stand on your side. If he really did bully you, I'll get justice for you and make him pay."
Then, he gently said, "Sometimes, we have to let go of the people we love. I don't know what has happened between you two, but I can tell you're doing this for Nolan.
"You think this is the best for him, or you wouldn't be this sad. Since you've made up your mind, you should stop regretting your choices.
"Also, Mr. Baxter might not be that bad, Audrey! At least, he can make you happier than Nolan can. He's more capable too and can give you the world. Isn't there a conflict between you and Megan? Since you're dating Mr. Baxter, she can't look down on you anymore. Think about it. It's a good thing, isn't it?"
Audrey looked at George, wondering if he was actually trying to cheer her up. Then, she felt even more terrible.
