Chapter 730: Reaching a Deal
Azure frowned, “It doesn’t matter, as long as we get things straight, I don’t care about the rest.” She had mentally prepared herself and couldn’t just stand by.
At the agreed place, Azure went to the private room first, ordering premium tea and fruit pastries. After waiting for about twenty minutes, Audrey finally arrived.
“Your performance went well this time,” Audrey said as she sat down. “Congratulations.”
“Thank you,” Azure smiled. “Try this tea, it’s freshly brewed. You used to like this kind.”
Audrey didn’t drink. “Just say what you need to say.”
“You’re here because of Terrence, right?” Audrey said. “I mentioned divorce to him, and now you’re seeking me out. It must be about that.”
“You mentioned divorce?” Azure was shocked. “Why?”
Azure knew the reason; she wanted to know why Terrence lost to the other person.
Audrey calmly replied, “Just because we’re married doesn’t mean we can’t divorce. If there’s no love, we should separate. What’s the problem?”
“No, Meredith, divorce is not a joke.” Azure’s emotions were a bit agitated. “How can you speak so lightly? If you didn’t love him anymore, why come back? You’re torturing him; he can’t take it. He’s such a proud person. You betrayed him, and he’s still retreating. You can’t treat him like this!”
Audrey lowered her eyes. “I came back this time to make him give up on Meredith completely. And the best way is to change my heart.”
“What do you mean?” Azure was confused.
Audrey stared at Azure for a while and said, “I know you’re also thinking of Terrence’s well-being. You’ve seen what Terrence is like without Meredith.”
“He’s worse than dead. Without Meredith, he’s worse than dead. If it weren’t for Rowan, I believe Terrence would have followed Meredith long ago…” Azure stopped mid-sentence and suddenly realized something was wrong. She looked at Audrey in horror. “You…”
“I’m not Meredith; I’m Audrey,” Audrey said calmly. “I never lost my memory because I am Audrey.”
Upon hearing this, Azure was greatly shocked and stood up immediately. She stared at Audrey in front of her, finding it hard to accept.
She had suspected something was wrong with Audrey before but didn’t dare to say she wasn’t Meredith.
Now hearing Audrey admit it herself, Azure’s heart was shaken and couldn’t calm down for a long time.
“Then where is Meredith?” Azure asked concernedly. “Where is the real Meredith? Why do you look like her?”
“The real Meredith is already dead,” Audrey said straightforwardly. “I couldn’t save her, Azure. I know you care about Terrence just like Meredith did; you don’t want him to be hurt. Rather than letting Terrence experience death separation, it’s better for his feelings to fade naturally through divorce so he can find a new life.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Azure slowly sat down again. Audrey continued, “To become Meredith, I found the best plastic surgeon and changed my face to hers. Now I’ve filed for divorce; he will be hurt now but will get better over time. This is Meredith’s wish.”
“This is too outrageous,” Azure shook her head. “Audrey, why should I believe you? If Meredith is dead, where is her body?”
“Buried in the cemetery. Terrence and Little Lucky have visited her grave; only Terrence doesn’t know it’s Meredith’s grave-he thinks it’s mine.”
“I’m getting confused,” Azure said. “Aren’t you alive? What do you mean by ‘you’ and ‘Meredith’?”
Audrey took a deep breath and said, “Azure, all you need to know is that Meredith is dead. I won’t harm Terrence; once he agrees to the divorce, I’ll leave.”
“It’s not that easy; what about Rowan? Terrence loves Meredith so much; he won’t agree to the divorce,” Azure shook her head again. “This is too outrageous.”
“That’s why I need your help,” Audrey said. “He will agree to the divorce.”
Azure was curious, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Terrence everything-that Meredith is already dead?”
“I know you won’t say anything,” Audrey said confidently. “You’ve seen how Terrence was when he lost Meredith; you won’t bear it.”
Azure frowned again, “So what do you need me to do?”
