Chapter 40
Everyone knew Star International and Winter Entertainment were the two giants of the domestic entertainment industry and longtime rivals.
For Elizabeth, Winter Entertainment’s top actress, to openly switch to their rival, Star International, it was no wonder that Shawn, the CEO of Winter Entertainment, was furious.
Moreover, Shawn and Elizabeth had a personal relationship.
After calling over a dozen times, Elizabeth finally answered. Shawn roared immediately, “Elizabeth, what do you mean by this? Do you think I’m dead?”
“Shawn, I’ve repaid you for the support you gave me back then during my years at Winter Entertainment. Now that we’re over, let’s not contact each other again, Elizabeth replied calmly
“Elizabeth, do you think you can ever repay me? Without my support, do you think you could be where you are today? Believe me, I can push you to the top, and I can also destroy your Shawn was infuriated. He thought, I have been too good to Elizabeth. That is why she dared to defy me. Did she really think I can’t do without her?”
Elizabeth sneered, “Aren’t you planning to blacklist me? Shawn, let’s wait and see.”
With that, Elizabeth hung up the phone and blocked all of Shawn’s contact information. She had no patience for people who were no longer relevant to her.
After that, Elizabeth called the agent assigned to her by Star International. She had not retained any of her previous team from Winter Entertainment.
Shawn was in a terrible mood, especially after Elizabeth had hung up on him. He couldn’t understand how the once obedient woman had become so bold. He had underestimated her.
Shawn messaged in the group chat. [Anyone up for a drink?]
Andrew: [Drinking in the middle of the day? Are you crazy?]
Cade: [Shawn, did you really break up with Elizabeth?]
Shawn: [Tsk. It’s just a breakup. Do you think I lack women? Believe it or not, I can show you my new girlfriend tomorrow.)
Mentioning Elizabeth made Shawn even angrier. He swore, about to lose his mind.
Andrew: [Sure. Just don’t cry then.]
Shawn: [If I cry, I’ll be a loser and run naked around Northville.]
Andrew: [I’ll wait.]
Cade: [I’ll wait too.]
Shawn thought, Fuck. What a bunch of lousy friends.
Andrew texted then: [I’m not sending you guys an invitation. Just remember to be there in three days.]

The house on Greencloud Mountain was ready after a month. Audrey moved in with Brian and David. Living in a hotel wasn’t as convenient as having a home. Audrey had also set up a laboratory in the villa, but the medical equipment had to be shipped from abroad, and required some time.
When Dylan received the news, he immediately sent gifts over, as well as dispatching two people.
In the new environment, Brian was excited, constantly video–calling Lucas to show him around, making Lucas eager to come to Northville.
“Lucas, when are you coming?” They had never been apart for so long. Brian missed his brother.
On the other end of the video, Lucas remained stoic, but his eyes were soft. “Wait a bit longer. Godmother said I can take a break in a month.”
Lucas had been training at their godmother’s base. Brian was supposed to go too, but his health couldn’t withstand the rigorous training. If it weren’t for the intense daily training. Lucas would have flown over to join Audrey and Brian.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Is that person still bullying Audrey?” Lucas asked after thinking for a moment.
“It doesn’t seem like it anymore. Don’t worry, Lucas, I’ll protect Mommy. Uncle will protect her too,” Brian said earnestly.
When the doorbell rang, Audrey thought it was the food she ordered. She was considering hiring a maid to help care for
Brian.
When Audrey opened the door, she saw Richard. Her expression cooled.
Richard said, “Ms. Hernandez, Boss sent me here with presents.
Audrey replied coldly, “No need. Take them away.” She began to close the door.
“Hold on, Ms. Hernandez,” Richard hurriedly added, “Boss also sent another gift to you.”
Richard stepped aside, revealing two people behind him. It was a man and a woman, both around fifty years old.
“Ms. Hernandez,” the woman exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Audrey.
Audrey examined them for a while before recognizing them. They were the couple who used to take care of her mother, Vivienne, in the Holland family. After Vivienne’s death, they continued to look after Audrey. However, they were dismissed by Rebecca after she married into the family.
“Wendy Sands?” Audrey looked at the middle–aged woman.
“Ms. Hernandez, it’s so good to see you. You’ve grown. Your mother would be so happy if she knew.” Wendy approached, her voice filled with emotion.

“Thank your boss for me.” Audrey glanced at Richard.
“Ms. Hernandez, you’re welcome. I’ll leave now.” Knowing Audrey wouldn’t accept gifts personally chosen by his boss, Richard left after respectfully saying goodbye.
Audrey brought Wendy and Callum inside and called Brian and David over. “Callum, Wendy, this is David. You already know him. This is my son. You can call him Brian.”
David had been adopted by Vivienne and used to live with the Hernandez family, so the couple recognized him. However, they were surprised that Audrey had a child.
