Bryson briefly explained the situation of the Cordova family to Audrey.

Right now, Audrey was in the Cordova Mansion. Only Bryson and his grandmother lived here. Bryson's parents lived in another villa. Furthermore, they had recently gone abroad and would not return any time soon.

Bryson and Audrey came out of Bryson's study and went to Kylee's room.

Bryson knocked. "Grandma!"

"I said I won't eat. If Elliana doesn't come, I won't eat!"

"She's right outside the door."

"Stop fooling me. I don't believe you. If she comes, let her call me."

Bryson signaled to Audrey.

Audrey cleared her throat. "Grandma, it's me, Elliana. Open the door."

The silence in the room was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps, and the door handle moved, but the door did not open.

"You naughty girl, why don't come see me since you are in the city? You want me to open the door. No way."

Audrey rolled her clever eyes.

"Grandma, if you don't open the door, then I'll leave."

The room quieted down, and Kylee did not say anything else.

Audrey continued, "I am leaving."

Just as Audrey finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened. Kylee dashed out and grabbed Audrey's wrist with great strength as if she was afraid that if she let go, Audrey would leave.

"Don't you dare!" Kylee glared at Audrey.

Audrey was touched as she saw the angry but affectionate look in Kylee's eyes, for she was reminded of her own grandma.

Audrey grabbed Kylee's hand and smiled charmingly, "Since you have come out, of course, I won't leave."

Kylee shook off Audrey's hands and turned around.

"If I hadn't threatened Bryson with a hunger strike, I don't think you would come to see me."

"Grandma, I've been busy."

"What's there to be busy with for a young girl like you."

"I need to work. Although our family is rich, I want to realize my own value."

Kylee softened.

She touched Audrey's face, feeling sorry for her little granddaughter.

"Work is OK. But don't get too tired. Look at you. You are skinny."

Audrey took Kylee's hand and blinked her bright eyes.

"So, grandma, you're not mad at me anymore?"
