I Finally Found You
1216 Words
Six years later, in Peace City.
It was April. Cherry blossoms were in full bloom on both sides of the main street. The spring breeze blew off the white petals, which danced around. People walked in the flower shower, as if they were passing through a fairyland.
On the large screen of a shopping mall, the latest financial news was being broadcast.
The heir to the Four Seasons Group, Julian Shaw, was being interviewed.
A slender woman stopped in front of the large screen when she saw the interview. She took off her black sunglasses and lightly shook her long curly hair, revealing a stunning face the size of a palm. As she watched, she narrowed her beautiful eyes.
On the screen, a reporter asked Julian a question.
"Mr. Julian, I heard that the Four Seasons Group's Eastwood Branch has been recently involved in an economic dispute. The other party has already filed an appeal after losing the first trial. May I ask if your company is confident in the second trial?"
Julian looked at the camera confidently, "The Four Seasons Group has never done anything illegal, so we will definitely win the second trial."
Looking at Julian's confident face, the woman smiled coldly. She took out a mobile phone from her handbag.
She dialed a number. "Hello, Mr. Steele. This is Audrey. Mike has recommended me to your law firm. I happen to have time today. I'll see you later, Mr. Steele."
After she hung up the phone, the woman gazed at the large screen again with unfathomable emotions.
Audrey Munn, no, her name was Audrey Koch now. She was back!
She gave a meaningful smile and put her sunglasses back on, turning to leave the shopping mall.
However, after Audrey had left the shopping mall for a while, she saw a van parked at the back door of a hotel. The door of the van was wide open, at which two men stood and waited anxiously, looking around with alarm.
Usually any people would just walk by as they did not think there was anything wrong.
Driven by her profession, Audrey tended to look into the eyes of the person she first met, and she found these two men had vicious eyes.
She stood nearby and turned her back to them, pretending to look for something in her handbag.
Not long after, two men carrying an unconscious old woman came out of the back door of the hotel and headed straight for the van.
The men beside the van anxiously urged, "Hurry up."
Just as the old woman was about to be carried into the van, a figure quickly came to the rescue. In an instant, the two men outside the van together with the driver were knocked to the ground.
When the two men carrying the old woman saw that their companions were knocked down, they put down the old woman and punched at Audrey.
Audrey dodged the punch in time and kicked the man in the temple, knocking him out. Seeing the other man rushing towards her, she calmly gripped his fist and gave him a suplex easily. The man thumped against the ground, unable to get up.
After the fight, Audrey's hair got a little messy.
She walked to the old woman and helped her up. The old woman had regained some consciousness.
"Madam, are you alright?" Audrey asked softly.
These years, even though she had been mostly indifferent, she would always be nice to an old lady.
The old lady blinked and suddenly jumped into Audrey's arms.
"Elliana..."
Audrey was taken aback. Elliana was her childhood name. How could the old lady know about it?
The old lady held Audrey tightly in her arms and kept on muttering.
"My dear granddaughter, I finally found you."
Audrey was dumbstruck.
What was going on?
The five men on the ground had come to their sense, thinking of escaping. Audrey turned grim and intended to push the old lady away, who held her tighter, afraid that she would run away.
Before the five men got away, ten bodyguards suddenly rushed over and surrounded them.
The leader stood sweating behind the old lady and asked nervously, "Madam Cordova, are you alright?"
If anything happened to her, they would be doomed.
Audrey heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that these men worked for the old lady, so she didn't need to deal with the kidnappers.
Audrey nudged the old lady in her arms and said, "Madam, your people have come for you."
However, the old lady was indifferent to this. She kept holding Audrey tightly, not letting go.
Just as Audrey was about to nudge the old lady in her arms again, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She looked down and saw that the old lady had passed out again.
"Madam, what's the matter?"
Audrey supported the old lady and accidentally stumbled on a stone. She lost her balance and fell backwards.
In the nick of time, Audrey held the old lady tight in her arms. The back of her head knocked hard on the shoulder of the road behind her.
Suddenly, she had a blackout.
...
When Audrey woke up, she found she was in a strange room with sophisticated lights.
Just as she was about to sit up, a sharp pain came from behind her neck. She groaned in pain.
Audrey touched the pain behind her neck and slowly sat up. She looked around and found she was in a large room with exquisite furniture.
Where was she? Why was she here?
She only remembered that she had saved an old lady, and then ... she fainted.
Was this the old lady's home?
She guessed that she had fainted because of the old lady, so her people brought her here.
She spotted her handbag and sunglasses on the bedside table.
She threw back the covers and got up. She put on her shoes and picked up her bag and glasses, walking to the door.
She opened the door and walked out. A servant was passing by.
Audrey smiled at the servant.
"Hello, may I ask where the gate is?"
Her bright smile was extremely charming. The servant was dazed for a while before she came back to her sense.
She quickly pointed behind her.
"Go straight on and turn left at the first corner. After that, turn right and then you will see the stairs."
Audrey smiled and nodded.
"Thank you. By the way, please tell the old lady that I'm leaving."
"Okay."
When Audrey took a taxi and left the Cordova Mansion, she happened to pass a black Rolls-Royce.
...
At the Cordova Mansion.
When Tim, the butler, saw a tall figure enter, he came up to greet.
"Mr. Bryson!"
Tim took the suit from Bryson.
"Where's Grandma?" Bryson said indifferently.
"She is resting in the bedroom upstairs."
Bryson walked straight towards the stairs. Bryson had two long legs, and he walked with long strides. Tim quickly scurried behind him.
"How is Grandma?"
"She's been unconscious since she came back. She hasn't woken up yet."
Just as Bryson and Tim got upstairs, a servant came up to them in panic.
"Mr. Bryson."
"What's the matter?"
"Mr. Bryson, Madam Cordova just woke up, but she is asking for Ms. Elliana."
