Silvia could tell that Audrey was afraid. She reached out to hold Audrey's hand. "Don't be afraid, Audrey! Tell me, and we'll find a way to solve the problem. Else, you'd continue to live in fear."
Audrey sighed, "No, I'm not afraid anymore. I just feel that my life is as miserable as a joke. No, it's even more miserable than a joke."
Silvia did not understand.
Audrey laughed and continued, "Last night, as usual, I went to Phantasy Nightclub for a drink. I was trying to see if there were any good looking eligible bachelors. However, before I even had my second drink, someone stuffed something into my arms, and then I was taken away by a group of men."
Although Audrey spoke nonchalantly, Silvia nervously clenching her fists. Had she been there, Silvia would not have let those people take Audrey away.
"The old man who led the group of men said that I took his gift, so I had to go with him tonight." Audrey sneered. "I mean, if he is handsome, perhaps, I would have conceded. But, he was old and ugly, and his
teeth were disgustingly yellow. So, of course I resisted and so they drugged me, and I ended up here in the hospital."
With a solemn look, Silvia said, "Audrey, if that old man were not ugly, were you really willing to submit to him then?"
Audrey, "I..."
Silvia interrupted her. "I know that you will never do that. I know you're just using this method to numb yourself and demean yourself. I'm warning you, Audrey. You'd better don't do that to yourself anymore in the future."
Audrey smiled and said, "Silvia, I guess you've been with your Young Master Kyle for too long now that you're starting to get a little too overbearing huh."
"Don't try and change the topic." Silvia knocked on the table. "After hearing what you've said, I think that someone is deliberately finding fault with you tonight."
Audrey nodded. "I thought it was just an accident at first, but then I saw someone. When I was being taken away, I saw a familiar face. I've seen that person several times before."
Silvia said in surprise, "Audrey, did you offend anyone in the past? Think carefully."
Audrey shook her head but nodded her head after. "I think I have... I can't escape from him for the rest of my life anyway. My fate is destined, and I'm destined to be lonely for the rest of my life."
"Is he the one you loved?" Judging from the resolute look in Audrey's eyes, Silvia was quite sure that one of the men who hurt Audrey earlier was someone she really cared about.
"Huh..." Audrey didn't answer. Instead, she laughed wryly, eventually tearing up.
Yes! It was because she had once loved him and owned him that her heart was aching so much after she had lost him!
"Audrey, those who don't care about you won't feel sorry for you, so don't torture yourself for him anymore. No matter how much you torture yourself, he won't bat an eye at all." Silvia repeated what Audrey had told her before.
Audrey broke into a charming smile. "Who said that it was because of him? I'm not doing it because of him. I just wanted to find a rich man for myself, so that I don't have to work so hard for the rest of my life."
"You..." Audrey was unwilling to expose her raw self, so it was for Silvia to pursue the matter. She patted Audrey on the back and
said, "If you feel like getting a drink in the future, just go to Starie Blotie. Don't go to Phantasy Nightclub anymore. That place is not somewhere ordinary people like us should go to.
"Yeah, that place is full of rich and powerful men... it's indeed not a place for us." Audrey sighed. She had never been a match for that person, and she could never win against him. He was the one who appeared by her side out of a sudden and gave her a fantasy. However, he was also the one who had left out of a sudden and broken her heart.
