“I don’t like Luna, but I wouldn’t use her either,” Audrey said.
Carson replied hesitantly, “Audrey, 1-*
Audrey cut him off. “The better you treat Luma now, the more it’s gonna hurt when she goes back to Valerie. Unless you can actually get custody of her, don’t give her false hope.”
Carson looked at her with complicated eyes.
Audrey didn’t want to hear his excuses. She cut to the chase. “You and I are never happening. If you keep pushing this, we can’t even be friends.”
Carson gave a bitter laugh and rubbed his face, “Audrey, I really didn’t think you and Clayton would work out, but I never said anything bad about you.
“Those things Valerie said? I don’t know if Clayton told her or if she made them up. I swear on my life
“Doesn’t matter.” Audrey waved him of “Let’s go eat. I’ve got stull to do this afternoon.”
They headed to the themed restaurant. Luna sat between Audrey and Carson, and even though she wasn’t talking, one could tall she was happy
Cory moved Audrey had scheduled tutoring with Ivan, and when she checked the time, she wiped her hands and stood up. “Thanks for getting Layla’s surgery up. This meal’s on me.”
“But I said I was paying.” Carson jumped up.
“Next time,” Audrey smiled and looked down at Luna. “I’ve got work to do now. See you later.”
Lupa tried to grab Audrey’s sleeve, but she was holding a big shrimp and moved too slowly. Audrey was already gone.
When Carson came back after seeing Audrey out, Luna had cleaned her hands and was sitting there like a little angel “Why’d you stop eating?” he asked.
Luna looked up at him and pointed at herself after a long moment.
“You’re wondering if Audrey doesn’t like you because of your mom?” Carson guessed what she meant. Luna stared into his eyes, waiting for an answer
Carson let out a bitter laugh and pulled Luna onto his lap. “Audrey doesn’t like me. She’s scared I might get the wrong idea, and she doesn’t want me to get hurt when she rejects me. So she’s keeping her distance.”
Carson understood why Audrey was deliberately staying away from Luna too. It made him realize she was genuinely a kind, caring woman. But be couldn’t tell a three–and–a–half–year–old the truth. That would be too cruel.
Luna’s bright eyes looked down, lost in thought.
A servant approached them. “Dr. Wilson, the hospital’s still busy. Should I take Luna home?”
Luna looked up at Carson and gave him a smile, wrapping her little arms around his neck before obediently following the servant out,
Carson watched her tiny Egure disappear, slowly clenching his fists.
“You’re five minutes late. Ivan opened the dog, holding up an alarm clock.
“Traffic was crazy. I’ll give you an extra ten minutes to make up for it, okay?” Audrey said helplessly.
“Fifteen minutes!”

Only then did an hand Audrey the slippers, his stern face breaking into a smile
Zoe finished cleaning the kitchen and left, and Brooke wasn’t home either, so today’s tutoring session went really smoothly.
During break time, Ivan grabbed an als wheel and started doing stretches on the floor. “Is he good in you?”
Audrey was editing a message and answered absent mindedly, “Who?”
“That guy from the other night, the scary one.” Ivan pushed the ab wheel out too far, lost his balance, and face–planted on the ground
“Oh, him. He’s okay so far.” Audrey had a little smile on her lips and then looked up at Ivan after a moment. Drop the crush, okay? You can’t take him”
Ivan scoffed and got back up, continuing with the ab wheel. He kept stealing glances at Audrey and testing the waters. “You care about him?”
“I care about you.” Audrey sent her message and sat cross–legged on the mat, watching him. “Want to give it a shot?”
Ivan’s eyes lit up instantly, though he tried to play it cool. “Just so we’re clear, don’t blame me if he gets hurt.”
Audrey just smiled without saying anything.
Her post blow up fast, getting over a hundred thousand likes, shares, and comments.
When Valerie had confronted her at the hospital, Audrey had started recording. Now, she posted the audio with text, letting everyone see what shameless homewrecker Valerie really was, having the nerve to provoke the actual wile.
Valerie had previously paid people to spread videos online about how “Clayton’s true love was always her.” With her money behind the campaign, tons. of people were actually rooting for them to get together and waiting for wedding announcements.
Audrey’s post with the voice recordings completely destroyed Valerie’s reputation. The comments flipped instantly.
One user wrote: [So she’s the homewrecker who stole someone’s husband? If this scumbag loves you so much, why’d her mess with another woman? What did she ever owe you two?]
How do you even have the nerve to say this stuff? You’re married with a kid, but as long as you’re miserable, this guy will come save you? Who do you think you are, some kind of princess?
[Is this guy a mama’s boy or what? His income should be joint property, so why does his mom control it? I think he never planned to treat his wife right from the start. This is just his sneaky way of hiding assets.]
(I heard this scumbag’s a lawyer. He’s way too calculating. He tricked his wife into being his family’s slave, taking care of his parents and waiting on him hand and foot, while he cheated on the side. Someone like that deserves to get hit by a car.
Hust wait and see. This guy probably won’t even marry her. He’s probably just using her too. The mistress is disgusting, but the cheating husband who can’t keep it in his pants is the real problem, I don’t believe she forced him into anything)
She brought this on herself. Just wait till she loses her usefulness and gets dumped. She’ll end up way worse off than the wile ever was!
There were too many comments for Valerie to delete them all. The more she deleted, the more people commented.
“That bitch Audrey! She actually posted what I said online. I’m gonna sue her. This is an invasion of privacy,” Valerie was screaming hy
Cheryl tried to calm her down patiently. “The angrier you get, the happier she is. We can’t hurt ourselves just to make other people happy. She’s doing this on purpose to get everyone to attack you,
ant to see you fall apart, right? So show them your marriage certificate and see whose face gets slapped then.”
“They want
“That bitch made me lose my mind.” Valerie quickly pulled out her marriage certificate with Clayton, snapped a photo, and posted it online. She also

wrote a long post to go with it.
Valerie: [Clayton and reconnected because my husband was abusing me. As my lawyer, Clayton saved me from hell, I never wanted to ruin his life.

Valerie: [Then, she kept bullying me and my child over and over. Clayton saw how evil she really was, so he divorced her, Clayton and only got together after their divorce, Marriage certificate attached.]
Lucas had just finished checking some construction materials and was mindlessly scrolling through social media when he stumbled across this video.
He clicked on the marriage certificate and zoomed in on the photo, Valerie’s beaming face filled his screen. Lucas swiped to see Clayton’s expressionless face in the same photo, and a cold smile crept across his lips.

is was all planned from the start. No wonder he agreed to represent you in court,” Lucas murmured.
