All Her Secrets

Chapter 1023 A Scapegoat

Facing the barrage of questions from reporters, William didn't play coy. "Audrey and I are friends. It was a pleasant surprise to run into her here today. Besides, why do I have to sit in the middle? We can sit wherever we want, right?"

In William's view, there was no such thing as a 'middle seat"; he sat wherever he pleased.

Knowing they couldn't get more from William and not wanting to offend him, the reporter eventually backed off. However, they could question Audrey.

Suddenly, Audrey, who had been sitting unnoticed in a corner, became the center of media attention. Just moments ago, Lina had led the laughter at Audrey for being a nobody, but now those in the front rows truly became the overlooked ones.

Lina stomped her foot in frustration. The harder she had laughed at Audrey, the more embarrassed she felt now. With so many reporters watching, she didn't dare confront Audrey, but that didn't mean she would let it go.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Noticing Janice's fierce gaze, Lina had an idea. She cozied up to Janice, saying, "Ms. Freeson, don't you think Audrey is too despicable? She's trying to attract everyone's attention. And the media ignored a superstar like you to interview a nobody. It's ridiculous!"

Lina's ulterior motives were clear to Janice, but she agreed that Audrey did seek too much attention. She had already managed to get the organizers to move Audrey's seat, hoping to teach Audrey a lesson and make her tone it down. But unexpectedly, Audrey knew the

president, stealing all the spotlight. Janice thought, 'Since she loves people's attention, let her have all she wants."

After finishing all the interviews, Audrey, exhausted, returned to the dressing room to change out of her outfit. Halfway through removing her makeup, she heard arguing outside. Recognizing Kim's voice, she quickly asked her assistant to pause and went out to see what was happening. Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org

As soon as Audrey stepped out, she heard Kim scolding someone. "Are you coming to apologize to us? Why bother moving us in the first place if you were just going to shoot yourself in the foot?"

Audrey glanced at the female staff member standing in front of Kim. Her outfit suggested she was just an ordinary employee, certainly not someone with the authority to change seating arrangements. Clearly, this staff member was being made a scapegoat for someone else's decisions.

Seeing the staff member with her head down, too scared to speak, Audrey intervened. "Let it go. We haven't really lost anything. Don't make it hard for her."

The staff member looked up at Audrey gratefully. Kim knew she was just being used to deflect blame. But he also needed to vent his frustration. If he didn't make a scene, such incidents might happen again. But with Audrey stepping in to mediate, and out of respect for her, he decided to let it slide. "Since Audrey doesn't mind, I'll let it go. Now go do your thing!" he said.

The staff member quickly bowed in thanks to Audrey. "Thank you, Ms. Swann.

"No worries," Audrey comforted her.

After sending her off, Audrey returned to the dressing room to remove her makeup. "Kim, I don't want to attend the dinner downstairs. I'm tired and want to go back to rest," she said.

Kim, knowing how hard she had been working recently, felt sorry for Audrey. Considering what the organizers had done, he knew no one would dare comment on their absence. He agreed to her request. "I'll arrange for a car to take you back."

Kim had to stay behind for networking, as he was responsible for not just Audrey but other artists as well, and needed to secure opportunities for them.

After finishing up, Audrey left in a car. Little did she know, as soon as the car exited the underground parking lot, an accident occurred.
