Audrey tightly wrapped her slender b*dy with both hands, even though it was a sunny day today, she felt a chill running through her entire b*dy.

She followed a team of rescuers onto the boat.

After searching for nearly a day, she didn’t eat or drink. If it wasn’t for Deon forcibly pulling her, she would have gone to find him in the sea herself!

Actually, she knew in her heart that without any news for 72 hours, there was likely no hope left.

She was just deceiving herself!

Audrey followed the search team and searched for nearly a week.

She had lost a lot of weight.

At first, she could still deceive herself, but after such a long time had passed, there was still no news. Even the rescue team had to pack up and leave, and she couldn’t deceive herself anymore!

Sterling really got into trouble!

He was very likely never coming back again!

Audrey looked at the area where he had encountered the accident, the place where her mother had been imprisoned and where he had last stayed!

Thinking that he was very likely blown to pieces, Audrey held back

her tears for a long time, but couldn’t control them from flowing.

She clenched her hand into a fist, stuffed it into her mouth, and suppressed her painful sobbing.

Finally, the b*dy fell to the ground unsteadily, crying with tears and snot flowing together.

The chest felt empty, as if only a heart that was in unbearable pain remained.

“Sterling, come back. I’m not mad at you anymore…”

“We didn’t argue anymore, we didn’t have any more quarrels, okay…”

Audrey cried so hard that her whole b*dy was trembling and convulsing, as if she could faint at any moment!

Deon saw Audrey’s appearance and felt equally heavy and uncomfortable in his heart.

He helped Audrey up from the ground and hoarsely said, “Ms. Watson, let’s go back!”

***

One month later.

After a month of hospital treatment and recuperation, Aurora was able to be discharged.

During this period, Rylan bought a renovated villa in Suffolk.

During this period, he took care of Aurora in the hospital while arranging everything in the villa.

In the morning, he and Audrey came to the hospital together to pick up

Aurora.

Aurora’s face regained some rosy color, but she still looked extremely thin and weak, as if she would collapse with a gust of wind.

She could occasionally say a word or two, but only communicated. with Audrey. She remained silent with everyone else.

Audrey could tell that not only had Aurora been physically injured, but she also had emotional scars.

She needed the guidance of a psychologist and the support of her family in order to recover.

Audrey accompanied Aurora in the ward while Rylan went to complete the discharge procedures.

A news is being broadcasted on the television.

According to insiders, Mr. Sterling, the CEO of the Howard Group, had an accident a month ago and his whereabouts are still unknown. The internal situation of the Howard Group has now become chaotic, with stocks continuously falling. If Mr. Sterling does not appear soon, the position of the head of the four major families is likely to change hands.

Watching the news, Audrey was startled.

Sterling was usually low-key and didn’t often expose himself to the media, so the photos of Sterling that appeared in the news were always of his back or profile.

Aurora saw Sterling’s profile and seemed to have thought of

something. She tightly held Audrey’s hand and pointed at the screen, saying, “Audra, it was him who saved Mom.”

Aurora was feeling a bit excited, “Did he go missing?”

Thinking of Sterling, Audrey’s eyes welled up with tears.

During this period, she went to the island three times.

Every time in the past, I would sit there overnight.

At first, she would still shed tears, but later on, she didn’t cry much

anymore.

She knew that if Sterling were still around, he wouldn’t want to see her crying all day.

She didn’t want to worry her family and friends, so after coming back from the island, she continued with her normal life and studies.

Only she knew, deep inside, the pain had already been vividly felt.

She didn’t know when she could recover, maybe in this lifetime, she would never recover again!

The Howard family.

Ricky learned about Sterling’s accident from his third grandson, Antony, and he became furious, his face turning pale.

Since Sterling had an accident, Ricky fell ill.

Recently, there has been a slight improvement. The news of Sterling’s accident was exposed, causing chaos among major shareholders and senior management. The stock price plummeted again, and his dyed black hair turned completely white overnight.

Ricky called Antony to his house and said, “You beast, kneel down!”

Antony had always coveted the position of President of the Howard

Group. He was both fearful and resentful of Sterling, especially after he took an interest in Audrey and was caught by Sterling. After being severely reprimanded, Antony harbored a deep-seated hatred towards

him.

Lurking in the shadows all along, wanting to turn the tide.

After waiting so long for Sterling to have an accident, how could he possibly give up the opportunity to take over easily?

Moreover, he received support from Gianna.

Sterling had an accident, and Ricky had the authority to control his shares.

Ricky is getting old and can’t handle things anymore. Maybe one day he will pass away.

With such a large family, it is still up to the younger generation to take charge!

Antony looked at the furious Ricky, showing no intention of kneeling down. “Grandfather, accept the reality! Your beloved grandson is dead. and will never come back!”

“I am not inferior to Sterling in management, and besides, my great aunt also supports me!”

Ricky tightened his grip on the crutch and stared at Antony with a pale face, “Who did you say? Gianna supports you?”

“Yeah, my aunt really recognized my abilities! She would take out her shares and support me to take over as the President of the Howard Group!”

Without Gianna’s support, how could Antony dare to speak to Ricky in such a tone?

“Was she making a fuss?”

As soon as Ricky finished speaking, a cold voice came through, “Dad, I’m not fooling around. Sterling is in trouble, and I’m more upset than anyone else, but the Howard family can’t be without a leader for a day. Antony is qualified in terms of management ability, why don’t we give him a chance?”

In Ricky’s mind, no one’s ability could surpass Sterling’s.

But that child…

Why is fate so full of twists and turns?

Ricky’s eyes turned slightly red, “It was Samir, who was stronger than Antony!”

Ricky was really worried about handing over the company’s management to Antony.

Upon hearing Ricky’s words, Antony’s eyes revealed a hint of ferocity. “Grandfather, Samir is just your grandson, not a member of the Howard family. What comparability does he have with me? Or perhaps, do you want to hand over all the family’s assets to an outsider?”

Ricky looked at Antony, who was shouting loudly in front of him, with an even more unpleasant expression on his face. “How I decide is my business, and it’s not your place, a younger generation, to question me,” he said.

Ricky hadn’t finished speaking when Antony interrupted with a cold laugh, “Grandfather, I didn’t come here to inform you today. Here is a share transfer agreement. Please sign and stamp it.”

Antony took out a document and handed it to Ricky, expressionless. He said, “You have no choice. Today, you must hand over the

management rights of the company to me! Otherwise, don’t even think

about stepping out of here in the future!”
