My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon by Lydia Pierce

"Why do you say Eliza is the cause of all this?" Audrey frowned and stared at Miles.

"This was ten years ago..." Miles reminisced.

"Audrey. Although Trevor looks timid and easy to bully now, he used to be powerful. He was sturdy and clever,

and his grades were always outstanding.

"At that time, everyone thought Trevor could get into the best university in Riverdale and lead our family to a

good life.

"The family has high hopes for Trevor. He has never disappointed Dad and Mom. His exam results were getting

better and better every time. Unfortunately, good times don't last long...

"On the evening before SAT, Eliza suddenly had an idea and asked Trevor to bring her to the nearby mountain.

She said she wanted to catch fireflies to make a wish for Trevor, hoping Trevor could achieve good results.

"Trevor didn't believe in these things, but he brought her out because he didn't want to disappoint Eliza.

"On the way, Eliza let go of Trevor's hand and ran across the road alone. She was almost hit by a car.

"Trevor rushed up to save her, but he injured his leg in this car accident. He was unconscious for two days and

missed the SAT.

"When Trevor woke up and found out he had beclame, he couldn't accept it for a moment. He was listless

and said that all of this was fate. Mom and Dad let him rest and take it next year.

"But the person who hit Trevor with the car escaped. Our family didn't get any compensation and spent all our

savings to treat Trevor. Trevor probably felt sorry for our parents and didn't want to increase the burden on this

family. He was unwilling to continue his studies no matter what. His brilliant life ended in advance because of

this sudden accident.

"Mom couldn't take this blow and was depressed all day long. In the end, she becsick from worry. From then

on, she was plagued by small illnesses. Our family didn't have the money to treat her, so she becseriously

il."

Audrey could not help but clench her fists as she listened.

She thought, 'So many things have happened in the past... How dare Eliza disdain the Harper family for being

poor? She even compared herself to others. Didn't she feel guilty at all?"

Miles's expression was also very dark. He added indignantly, "Dad and Mom didn't allow us to mention this at

hpreviously. They were afraid that Eliza would feel guilty if she heard it. Even Trevor thought it was his

problem. He was worried if he said too much, Eliza would feel pressured.

"But | think Eliza doesn't care about this at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have repaid kindness with ingratitude.

She knew that with Mom's body, she couldn't be agitated, but she still deliberately went to the hospital to cause

trouble."

If Eliza had any conscience, she would not have severed ties with the Harper family so decisively after knowing

that she was the daughter of a rich family.

It was as if she was afraid that the Harper family would pester her and take advantage of her.

After hearing this, Audrey felt a strong sense of disgust toward Eliza for the first time.

"So, Audrey, you should understand why Trevor locked himself up, right?"

Miles said firmly, "He can't get over it now. As long as you interact with him more, he'll know you're ten thousand

times better than Eliza sooner or later."

Jessica, who was in the kitchen, had just cut sfruits and brought them out. When she heard this, she added,

"That's right, Audrey. Trevor is the most sensible person. He definitely won't have any opinions about you

because of this." Hearing their consolation, Audrey was slightly relieved.

Soon, an hour passed. Jessica and Peter made a table full of delicious food.

Trevor did not cout for dinner. He only said that he had no appetite.

Peter and Jessica knew he felt terrible, so they did not force him. They didn't want Audrey to worry too much, so

they comforted her again.

In the end, it was Audrey who comforted them.

The meal was a joyous one.

After dinner, Miles took the initiative to go into the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

Audrey sat in the living room with Peter and Jessica and watched television.

They were eating snacks and fruits when Audrey suddenly felt a strong gaze on her.

"Audrey, have you ever thought about getting a divorce?" Peter asked.
