Chapter 670 Andrea’s Plan
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly turned eerie. Audrey noticed Triston’s odd expression. She glanced at him and then looked at the woman in front. ” Who are you looking for?”
Andrea looked at Audrey with a graceful smile. “Miss Swann, I’m Triston’s fiancée. Since you and my fiancé are friends, and I heard about your injury while filming in Loxton, I came to check on you. Though it may seem sudden, it’s just out of concern. Please don’t mind!”
Audrey thought inwardly, “What a bitch! She is here to make a scene and even asked me not to mind.”
Audrey crossed her arms and fixed her eyes back on Triston.
Her face turned grim, and she said coldly in a sardonic tone, “Mr. Lambert, I didn’t expect that my minor injury would prompt such a personal visit from you and your fiancée. Quite an effort!”
Triston felt a chill down his spine from Audrey’s glare. And he became upset.
Though Triston used to be a playboy, those women never dared to say a word against him. He used the money to deal with everything. But he didn’t expect that Andrea was different.
Seeing Audrey’s anger, Triston got anxious and turned to lash out at Andrea without hesitation.
He shouted. “Have some shame, will you? Who’s your fiancé? If you’re in need, I don’t mind tossing some money to help you find several men to make you happy. Stop acting up, and get out of here.”
Facing Triston’s harsh words, Andrea stood composed, and her expression was unchanged. Triston’s insults didn’t seem to faze her.
“Triston, your father isn’t well these days. Since I have free time, let me accompany you to Casier to visit him!”
Triston looked at her coldly and replied sarcastically, “Andrea, I’m not interested in you. The Lamberts and the Silvas aren’t that close. If you’re looking to bind the Lamberts, you’d better figure out how to win over my father. If you’re capable, I wouldn’t mind having you as my stepmother.”
Since Triston’s father acted unfairly, he shouldn’t expect fairness in return.
After Andrea heard that, her expression changed, and she looked embarrassed.
Audrey felt exhausted from the drama and frowned impatiently. She shouted,
“Everyone out! I have a headache. Let me rest!”
Triston wanted to check on her, but Audrey’s piercing gaze made him freeze on the spot.
Triston said, “Okay. Calm down. I’ll go out and stay in the corridor. If you need anything, just call me.”
This was the first time Andrea had seen Triston like this. She had done her research and knew of Triston’s reputation as a carefree playboy. Despite his easygoing nature, he had a good character and was not as frivolous as he appeared.
In Andrea’s view, Triston might be a good choice if she had to bind herself to someone. His disgust and sarcasm toward her were never hidden.
After all, Triston could afford to look down upon everything. He was the most beloved heir of the Lamberts. Unlike other wealthy families, the two brothers of the Lamberts didn’t squabble over inheritance. The two brothers were always close.
However, when Triston faced Audrey, he displayed such humility. Even a mere glance from Audrey could provoke such a change in him.
Triston stepped toward the door and noticed Andrea didn’t move.
He glanced back at her and said coldly, “Out of respect for the Silvas, I won’t call security. Don’t push me!”
Andrea clenched her lips. This was her first meeting with Audrey today, and her purpose had been solely to meet her. Now that her objective was met, she could leave.
As Triston and Andrea exited the ward, they spotted Catherine. With hands in her pockets, she looked relaxed and elegant.
“Catherine, let me explain…”
Catherine raised a hand and halted what Triston wanted to say. She said, “I don’t care about Audrey’s affairs.”
Her simple statement shut down Triston’s flood of words. Pausing for a moment, she added, “Unless someone harms Audrey. Whoever touches her will pay!”
Though her gaze toward Andrea was calm and emotionless, it sent shivers down Andrea’s spine as if someone was choking her.
Instinctively, Andrea looked away. She was startled by Catherine’s overwhelming presence, and she didn’t dare to look at Catherine.
However, Andrea was certain Catherine knew nothing. She had been cautious in her actions, which was seamless to the point where even Triston, let alone Catherine, couldn’t detect it.
Andrea knew Catherine. Once she decided to marry Triston, she conducted an investigation not only on him but also on the people around him.
She knew Triston was now pursuing Audrey, and since the passing of Vicente, the Swanns had faced decline. After Korbin’s imprisonment, the Swanns were controlled by Catherine. While Catherine was studying in Loxton, the Swanns were managed by professional executives.
The Swanns, which were once formidable, had lost their core and were barely holding on.
If Catherine hadn’t allied herself with the Duncans, which was influential, the Swanns might have been completely wiped out by now. In Andrea’s view, it was Vicente’s shrewdest move. He arranged the marriage between Catherine and Branden to strengthen the Swanns.
The Silvas chose to ally with the Lamberts for the same reason. Andrea believed she could rejuvenate the Silvas with her intelligence.
As for the Duncans behind Catherine, Andrea wasn’t afraid. Triston was Branden’s best friend. If Triston accepted her as his fiancée, Branden wouldn’t touch her.
A single glance from Catherine made Andrea think a lot.
Though Triston found Catherine’s words odd, he didn’t suspect Andrea.
He assured Catherine firmly and said, ” Rest assured. I won’t let anything happen to Audrey! I’ll sort everything out with my family.”
Uninterested in Triston’s lengthy assurances, Catherine walked toward the doctor’s office. She wanted to check on Audrey’s recovery. That was her purpose for being at the hospital.
