Audrey was silent for a moment before calmly asking, “How do you want me to help you?”
Fiona said urgently, “I want to divorce Albert, but I don’t want to leave with nothing. Audrey, since you’ve already found out what he had done, you surely know how to handle him, right?”
Audrey shook her head slightly and said, “Sorry, I can’t help you
Fiona’s hopeful look dimmed instantly. She asked, “Why? Albert wants to kick you out of the company and leave you with nothing. Wouldn’t it be better if we teamed up?”
Audrey replied calmly, “I’ll handle my own issues. As for yours, no one can do it for you.”
Fiona blinked, gradually understanding Audrey’s point. She fiddled with her fingers, doubting herself as she said, “I… I can’t do it on my own, I can’t beat him…”
Fiona knew her own limits. Without anyone’s help, she couldn’t possibly deal with someone as cunning as Albert.
Audrey stared at Fiona and said, “You’ve been married to him for so many years, so no one knows him better than you.
“The sharpest blade is always with the one closest to you, and if you use your blade right, Albert won’t be able to beat you. this point, are you still hesitating?”
“Of course not,” Fiona instinctively denied.
Even though she was deeply in love with Albert, she realized what kind of person he truly was.
All the talk about love and romance was just hot air.
Only the money in hand was the real deal.
If Fiona didn’t want to end up broke for the rest of her life, she would have to steel herself against Albert.
Audrey smiled and pointed at the documents scattered on the floor, saying, “You can take these materials with you. I don’t need to teach you how to handle them, do I?”
“I understand,” Fiona said, her mind in turmoil.
The series of blows felt like they had aged her by ten years in an instant.
But Fiona’s tone finally became firm.
She picked up the papers from the ground and gave Audrey a serious look. Then she walked out of the meeting room.
After that, Audrey didn’t get involved in Fiona’s matter anymore
Audrey kept her usual routine. When she got home after work, she had meals made by Alistair. She frequently spent time wandering around the neighborhood with Sunny.
Sun
was becoming less shy around strangers, but he still wasn’t willing to speak.
Even though he moved here quite some time ago, he rarely went out and often preferred being alone.
Upon observing Sunny’s tendency to isolate himself, Audrey felt concerned, yet she was aware that patience was essential. Fortunately, she had a lot of patience now.

Two days later, Audrey got a call from Fiona.
“Audrey, he’s in jail!” exclaimed Fiona over the phone.
Albert was apprehended due to the misappropriation of company funds.
Audrey wasn’t surprised when she heard the news.
On that day, Audrey crushed all of Fiona’s hopes, doing so only to give Fiona the strength to send Albert to jail.

Hearing no response from Audrey, Fiona added, “I’ve also submitted the documents you gave me to the court, applying for asset freezing and divorce arbitration.”
Since Audrey started earning money, Albert hadn’t spent any money on Fiona, which conveniently now served as proof of Fiona’s innocence.
If the divorce arbitration proceeded smoothly, the embezzled funds would not be considered Fiona’s debt.
However, Zara and Felix weren’t so lucky.
To avoid losing assets in the divorce, Albert, persuaded by Zara, transferred all the assets to Felix’s account, including the 15 million dollars in the company funds.
Now with Albert convicted, all of Zara and Felix’s assets had to be used to pay off the debts.
Thinking of this, Fiona felt incredibly relieved.
The pain she had gone through these past few days was finally worth it.
After listening to Fiona ramble on for a while, Audrey finally replied, “Congratulations.”
Fiona finally smiled and said earnestly, “Audrey, thanks for providing the evidence. My promise to you will always stand.”
