It was Audrey's strategy. When Kylee woke up, she asked Audrey to return to the Cordova Mansion
with her. But Audrey decided to play dumb with Kylee and refused to admit that a thief had entered her
house last night.
To cooperate with Audrey, Bryson also lied to Kylee. He insisted that there were no thieves last night
and it was just a dream of Kylee.
Since Audrey and Bryson tried their best to explain that, Kylee began to suspect that it was really just
her dream.
However, the dream was too real.
"I hit the thief last night. Now my hand is still a little numb," Kylee felt a little strange.
Audrey couldn't help but think in mind.
'Of course your hands will be numb. You have used so much strength to beat Harold!'
She tried to persuade Kylee, "Grandma, you have always been worried about me, so you would have
such a dream. Look, the security of my neighborhood is good. There are patrols 24 hours a day and no
thieves can come in."
Hearing that, Kylee was convinced.
"Maybe it was just a dream."
Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.
If Kylee continued, she didn't know how to explain. Fortunately, the topic was over.
Bryson called Kolby and asked him to pick them up.
At that moment, Kylee saw Harold across the road.
Harold also met Audrey and Kylee's gaze.
Kylee pointed at Harold excitedly, "It's him. The thief last night!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAudrey felt desperate.
Why did Harold appear at this time? Didn't he usually like to sleep late? It was only seven o'clock now
and he had gotten up?
"Grandma, you are mistaken." Audrey winked at Harold again as she supported Kylee to cross the
road.
Harold pretended to be calm and turned around to leave quickly. Soon, he disappeared around the
corner.
"I think that the man was indeed the thief last night."
"Grandma, where is the thief? Why I don't see him?"
"He just disappeared around the corner."
"Grandma, you were just dreaming last night."
Kolby stopped the car in front of them. After Bryson got in the car, Audrey pushed Kylee in and closed
the door quickly, "Grandma, goodbye."
"Elliana, what I said was true. I did see a thief last night. It was the man just now."
"There are no thieves. Kolby, start the car."
Kolby did as Audrey ordered and took Kylee who was displeased away.
After they left, Harold dared to come out from the corner and run to Audrey.
"Audrey, Audrey, she left?"
Audrey glared at him speechlessly.
"She has gone."
Harold looked wronged, "You can't blame me for this. If I knew that you would come out at this time, I
would hide far away."
Audrey glared at Harold again. A moment later, she put on a worried expression, "You went to the
hospital last night. What did the doctor say?"
"I took an X-ray. It showed that my bones are fine. It's just a superficial wound and will be fine in a few
days."
"That's good. Then don't go anywhere this morning. Just rest at home."
"OK!"
But he had to rearrange his room and may have no time to rest.
He prayed in his heart that Kylee would never come back again.
...
Audrey had just arrived at the Law Firm when she received a call from Bryson.
She hid to the side and picked up the phone.
"Where are you now?"
"On my way to the company."
Audrey asked nervously, "Did Grandma say anything else?"
"She was skeptical about what happened last night."
"She doesn't believe us?"
"It is only a matter of time. As time passes, she will forget it."
"That's good." Audrey saw her colleagues coming over from afar and said, "Alright, I'm at my office. I'll
contact you if there's nothing else."
She hung up the phone.
It was Brenda. Audrey and Brenda entered the office while chatting and laughing.
...
Harold finally tidied up his room. After lunch, he took a nap. He had nothing to do and went to the
shopping mall nearby.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCoincidentally, the mall was holding a knowledge competition.
The prize for the competition was a set of audio players for home theater that was worth more than 10,
000.
Harold had always wanted it. But it was not easy for Audrey to earn money so he did not ask Audrey
for money. And his part-time job did not pay much.
Harold watched for a while.
A boy was on the stage. Harold knew him. He was Philip Wells, a wit of the Literature Institute in
University A. Harold liked him very much.
Philip was the first in the competition. Until now, no one had surpassed him. At this time, Philip was
sitting lazily in his seat and playing his mobile phone.
A Weibo notification sounded. Harold received a message from his special follows.
Harold frowned and took a look at his phone.
Philip posted a Weibo.
The content was a sentence, "How can the light of fireflies compete with the sun and moon?"
It was paired with a disdainful and mocking picture.
It was nothing for Philip's words. But now, he was sitting on the high platform with a disdainful
expression. Another competitor who had failed the challenge walked down the stage. Therefore,
Philip's words were a bit subtle.
He was expressing his contempt and ridicule for the other contestants.
Just as if he was high up in the sky while the others were dust on the ground.
The host asked the audience, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge?"
The audience looked at each other and discussed, but no one went on stage.
The contempt in Philip's eyes became stronger.
Harold narrowed his eyes.
Originally, he didn't want to fight with Philip, but when he saw Philip's expression, he changed his mind.
He took two steps forward and said, "I want to challenge."
