Chapter 347 Audrey, is it not good to rely on me?
The woman left, and Audrey didn’t even know what her name was.
She and Sterling buried her behind an orphanage on a mountain.
On the day of the burial, the sky was drizzling with a light rain.
Audrey found out her name at the orphanage and personally engraved her name on the tombstone.
Sterling stood silently behind Audrey, holding a black umbrella.
It has been three days since they found out the truth, and there have been very few words exchanged between the two. Audrey didn’t know what Sterling was thinking in his mind. Her mind was filled with hatred towards Landon and the whereabouts of her mother.
After a long time, Audrey’s slender body finally moved slightly. She turned around and looked at Sterling, saying, “Let’s go!” The two of them got into the car.
Sterling drove while Audrey sat in the passenger seat, and neither of them spoke.
The dead silence spread in the carriage.
After a while, Audrey’s phone rang and Sterling glanced at it out of the corner of his eye. He saw that it was a call from Russell and his grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly.
“Why did you still answer his call?” Without the things Russell's father

did. his mother might not have been driven insane, and she wouldn’t have had a car accident that left her disabled. Many tragedies could have been avoided!
Sterling hated Landon with all his heart in the past. He found out the truth, and he wouldn't just let it go like that!
Audrey, as if she hadn't heard Sterling’s words, answered Russell's call.
“Your phone has been turned off recently, have you gone missing?” Russell on the other end of the phone sounded a bit irritable. He searched for Audrey for several days, but she was nowhere to be found, which made him so anxious that he almost searched the whole city.
Audrey pursed her lips and said, “I recently went back to Cloud City for some matters, but | will be returning to the Southern Part soon.”
With a squeak, the moving Phantom suddenly came to a halt...
Sterling’s black eyes stared sharply and coldly at Audrey, as if trying to bore two holes through her.
Audrey positioned the back of her head towards Sterling, avoiding direct eye contact with his dark gaze as much as possible. Sterling had no patience, he directly took away Audrey’s phone and hung up Russell’s call.
With slender and fair hands, he grasped Audrey's delicate shoulders. and turned her around.
His dark eyes stared deeply at her, and his thin lips moved, “I will make him pay for what his father did, but from now on, you stay away from Russell!”

Audrey's slender feathered eyelashes trembled as she pushed away Sterling’s hands clasped on her delicate shoulders. She stared into his pitch-black and profound narrow eyes, her face tense, and said, “Dealing with Landon is your business, but my feud with him is irreconcilable. | won't rely on your help. I'll handle it myself!”
Sterling’s slender eyebrows furrowed tightly. She was so stubborn, so fierce, but had she ever considered that she was just a girl under twenty? And Landon, cu nning and ruthless, if she fell into his hands, her fate would be extremely tragic!
“Audrey, what’s wrong with relying on me?”
Audrey said. “I don’t want to be anyone’s subordinate. Sterling. | know you have the ability, but didn’t your father have the ability back then? He couldn’t escape the oppression from the Howard family and the Ryan family, and was forced to break up with my mother. In the end, they both started their own families!”
“You tell me, if | were to rely on you and be known by the people of your family and your mother’s family, would | still have a way out? You are not yet powerful enough to protect me from any harm, are you?”
“If you helped me get rid of Landon, this matter would escalate and it wouldn't benefit your family, the Howard family, in the slightest!”
Sterling’s brow furrowed with a heavy cloud of gloom as he unbuttoned the first two buttons of his black shirt. He took two deep. breaths, his chest heaving, and said, “If you’re willing, I'd rather give up everything from the Howard family and build a future with you...”
“Don’t be funny, have you forgotten how you abandoned me when you were being chased by your second and third uncles? Even if you don’t want anything to do with the Howard family, do you think they will spare you? You are now the only heir, they won't harm you, but they

will use all means against me!”
“Also, although it wasn’t my mother who had an affair with your father, your father’s heart belongs to my mother. Will your mother accept me as her daughter-in-law?”
“Many real problems were placed in front of us, to be honest, | didn’t have the courage to face all of this with you anymore.”
She hadn't finished speaking yet when he suddenly lifted her chin and forcefully and dominantly kissed her.
It felt like a century had passed since he last kissed her and went to the bathroom to vomit.
The moment our lips touched, we both froze.
Audrey's mind went blank for a moment, her ears buzzing, her fingers tightly curled around the man’s shirt in front of her. She wanted to struggle, but he kissed her with a manic frenzy, not allowing her to

After an unknown amount of time, he released her and looked at her with deep and intense black eyes. His rough fingertips gently touched the corner of her lips as he held his face in her hands, and he kissed. her once again.
This time, it seemed much gentler.
Audrey did not push him away, but scalding tears couldn’t help but fall from her eyes.

fascinated.
Deep inside, still longing for it, throbbing!
Her tears fell into each other’s lips, the salty taste made his body tremble for a moment.
He let go of her and looked at her tearful face. His eyebrows furrowed tightly. “My kiss, made you so miserable?”
Audrey raised her delicate little hand and wiped away the tears from her face. “Sterling, | signed a six-month contract agreement with Russell. During this period, | was his lover.”
The atmosphere in the carriage instantly dropped to freezing point, becoming oppressive and silent.
The whole person seemed to have been drenched with icy cold water from the top of the head, with a cold thin lip tightly pursed into a straight and chilling line.
He glared at Audrey with a sinister gaze, his large hand almost choking her slender neck. “Dam n it, why did you sign that dam n thing with him?
Audrey's lips twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.
“So, you still had to go back to Russell, right?”
Audrey lowered her long, dense eyelashes like butterfly wings, and bit her lip with her pearly teeth. “Sterling, I...”
“Enough, | don’t want to hear it anymore!” Sterling leaned his slender body against the back of the chair, pressing his long fingers against his temple as if it were being pri cked by a needle. “You have your own choices, and | have no right to interfere!”

He closed his crimson eyes and restarted the engine. In a low, cold. voice, he said to her. “I won't interfere with what you want to do, but if you trust me, make sure to contact me if you encounter any danger.”
He turned his head and glanced at her fair and delicate profile. “If we can’t be lovers, let's remain classmates, friends, or even family.”
