Audrey didn't expect herself to break her promise shortly after entering the venue. Once inside, Kim led Audrey to the crowd and introduced her. Normally, such events would feature celebrities to elevate their status. The more powerful the guests were, the more famous the celebrities who would attend. Today, a big-name celebrity like Audrey indicated the distinguished nature of the evening's attendees.Kim, trying to maintain a smile, was taken aback when a middle-aged man suddenly spoke out. "Miss Swann, long time no see." Audrey instinctively turned to the speaker and, upon seeing his face, her expression darkened. "It's you!" Kim was surprised to learn that Audrey knew one of their boss's esteemed guests for the evening. However, seeing her expression, he felt uneasy, sensing that something was amiss. The middle-aged man gazed at Audrey with a sinister smile. "Can't believe that you still remember me, Miss Swann. What a coincidence!" The host immediately put on a smile. "I

Triston followed Audrey all the way, just a few steps behind her.After a while, Audrey couldn't help but turn around to look at him in confusion. "Why do you follow me?" she asked coldly.He ignored her indifference, smiling gently. "It's late. I can't risk letting a girl as pretty as you go home alone, can I?"Audrey was amused by him. Triston was relieved to see her smile finally. He took off his coat and handed it to Audrey. "Put it on. It's windy now. You wouldn't want to catch a cold, sweetie." His voice was low and filled with endless tenderness.The wind was chilly at night. Audrey took his coat and put it on. It was still warm with a good smell. She looked back at him, handsome, glowing under the moonlight."Let's take a walk," she said. Triston immediately said yes to her invitation.They walked along the river in front of the hotel. Looking at the neon lights shining in this magnificent city, Audry felt lost. She halted suddenly and turned to Triston, her eyes not

But nothing happened in the next few days. The brand didn't even ask Audrey to dinner. Kim got some pros to look into it, but they found nothing."Isn't it weird, Audrey, how some rich folks just give away millions of dollars worth of jewelry?" asked Kim. How it felt like being that rich was beyond his imagination, though.Audrey looked at Kim helplessly. "Well, I don't know."Kim thought for a while and asked, "Could it be Triston? People capable of this can be counted with one hand in Casier."Audrey paused. For a moment, she almost thought it was Triston, too. But it was so not him, given he always kept a high profile.Although she had to admit he had changed a lot recently. So, it could be him.Kim poked her after moments of silence. "No way! Is it really him?"Audrey shook her head. "I have no clues. But I'll take care of this." Her head ached at the thought of this.Seeing her frowning pensively, Kim left her alone.All she could think about was the free jewelry, which

The assistant reported to Triston about Iris. "Mr. Lambert, there is something unusual going on. Iris is paying Miss Swann more money for advertising than they pay an international star."That was strange because popular as Audrey was as an actress, she was no match for an international star. So, it meant Iris was overpaying Audrey for no reason. The assistant sent the picture of the jewelry to Triston. "This is what they gave to Miss Swann. I heard her manager is looking into this. They seem to have concerns about it, too."Born in a wealthy family, Triston knew its value at the first sight of the picture. They gave her the jewelry set for free, which was worth more than her endorsement fee. They had to be after something.Triston inhaled a deep breath of the cigarette between his fingers and asked, "Have you found out who the boss is?" His voice was low and distant."Not yet," answered the assistant guiltily. He had put quite a few men on this, but whatever or whoever behind Ir

Audrey waited for a while and didn't hear from Triston.Worried that nothing good would come of it, she contacted Kim. She was about to ask him to bargain with the media and bury the news. Then she heard Kim's cheerful voice from the other end, sounding like he was in a good mood.Audrey was curious, and then she heard him say, "Aud, I did not expect Triston to be so reliable. We are lucky to have him today. Or else you will have to pay that three billion dollars."Audrey was still confused and did not even understand what was going on. "Kim, what are you talking about? Did Triston do something?"Only then did Kim realize that Audrey didn't know anything about it. He thought it was Audrey who had asked Triston to do it. "Sweetie, go check it online."Then he hung up. He knew she would find out by herself. There was not much for him to say.Audrey logged on to Twitter and saw the new trend immediately. Triston was still the key figure. She clicked into the entry and saw Triston's
