Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again! Chapter 544: Living in the Gutter

lody Yardley looked visibly exhausted, probably because she didn’t sleep well last night due to this matter.

After sitting down, lody Yardley said, "These things are a bit lengthy to talk about."

Audrey Sutton: "It’s okay. Go ahead, we have ti."

lody Yardley: "Now my life is practically in your hands, so there’s nothing to hide anymore. Can I order so breakfast first? I left in a hurry and haven’t eaten, and my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable."

Audrey Sutton didn’t hesitate and asked the waiter to bring a nu.

After lody Yardley ordered breakfast, she looked up and saw the promotional poster on the wall of the shop. It was for the TV drama starring Simon Sue and Clarissa Morgan. There was a trace of envy in her eyes, and with a sigh, she said in a low voice, "I’m her biological sister, born of the sa father but different mothers, but we haven’t t often. She doesn’t like , and I don’t like her. My father and mother divorced because that woman got pregnant with her. After my mother’s divorce, she developed depression and committed suicide within half a year. At that ti, I went to find my dad, who only gave so money and said he’d support until I graduated from college, but only if I didn’t disrupt his current life. So, after that, we only communicated by phone and never t again."

Audrey Sutton, although unfamiliar with Clarissa Morgan’s family situation, felt that lody Yardley wasn’t lying.

"But the good tis didn’t last long. Before I graduated from freshman year, that woman discovered my dad had been secretly sending living expenses. My dad listened to her a lot and eventually gave a hundred thousand dollars, as if cutting off our father-daughter relationship." lody Yardley let out a bitter smile as she picked up her hot milk. Audrey Sutton thought she might need a glass of wine more at this mont.

Seraphina Vaughn couldn’t help but mutter, "No wonder that Morgan woman acts the way she does now. Her mother was a mistress."

Audrey Sutton suddenly turned her thoughts back and asked, "What does this have to do with your falsifying accounts?"

lody Yardley said, "Ma’am, I only hope you can forgive . I can’t lose this job. In the future, regarding Clarissa Morgan, I can help you."

Audrey Sutton: "Help ? Wait, how do you know my relationship with her isn’t good?"

lody Yardley: "I know she likes President Warner. She hasn’t given up yet. Like her whore mother, she enjoys wrecking other people’s marriages, so she’s surely tried to trip you up in private."

Audrey Sutton looked at lody Yardley with skepticism, worried that lody Yardley was actually in cahoots with Clarissa Morgan, pretending to be unfriendly to get close to her. Otherwise, how would she know so much when their circles don’t even overlap?

Seraphina Vaughn voiced Audrey Sutton’s concern, "How do you know all these things?"

lody Yardley explained, "When she was in college, she sent a picture of her and President Warner, boasting he was her boyfriend. At that ti, I was already working here. She probably wanted to tell she would be my boss soday. But then you and President Warner announced your marriage, and I mocked her, saying her boyfriend married another woman. She then said she’d definitely win President Warner back. Shortly after, she returned to the country, so I guessed she must have done sothing behind the scenes to harm you and President Warner."

Hearing lody Yardley’s explanation, Audrey Sutton felt her suspicions ease.

Clarissa Morgan has been busy breaking into showbiz lately, and the drama with Simon Sue catapulted her to fa. She seems to have grown more remarkable than before, and she did all this for Shane Warner. She surely won’t give up easily, and who knows what trouble she might stir up soday.

This lody Yardley might be helpful soday.

Seraphina Vaughn accused her, "But you can’t justify doing those heinous acts because of your misfortune."

Speaking of this, lody Yardley grew even sadder, her eyes brimming with tears, "I didn’t want to either. It’s tough for won to survive in the workplace. I joined Warner Group because I heard about its positive work culture, no inappropriate relationships, no casting couch, so I worked hard to get in, only to fall into Theodore Quinne’s trap."

Audrey Sutton: "Director Quinne?"

lody Yardley: "He seems refined and polite. When he joined the departnt, I was the one who showed him around, but I didn’t expect him to secretly drug at a party, violated , and recorded a video to threaten into helping him, becoming his puppet. If I refused, he’d release those videos online."

Seraphina Vaughn listened, increasingly unable to fathom lody Yardley’s actions: "Then you should have reported him to the police! Why let him manipulate you?"

lody Yardley frowned and lowered her eyes, a look of profound regret on her face, "I... I was too scared back then. I feared those videos would get leaked. If that happened, not only would I lose this job, but I’d also be shunned by others, so I ended up on this path."

Audrey Sutton listened and handed a tissue to lody Yardley, contemplating before saying, "I can’t cover up the things you’ve done, but I can give you a chance to report and disclose everything truthfully, allowing you a lighter punishnt. Then you can continue working at the company, but you must promise not to offend again, or next ti I won’t be so forgiving."

lody Yardley looked at Audrey Sutton gratefully, nodding, "Thank you, I understand why President Warner likes you so much."

"And with Clarissa Morgan, if I need any help, I’ll co to you."

lody Yardley nodded, gazing up at the poster on the wall, "She took everything from , pampered since childhood. Why does she get to live a glamorous life under the sun, while I have to struggle in the gutter?"

Audrey Sutton looked at her and said, "That’s not entirely right. Clarissa Morgan is wrong, but you can’t let her darken you. Believe that you can shine anywhere, and you have advantages Clarissa Morgan doesn’t, right? I’m not saying to do anything to her but just in case she doesn’t give up and troubles , I might seek your help."

lody Yardley nodded, "Ma’am, rest assured, on this matter, I stand by you."

Audrey Sutton: "Just call Audrey, and I’ll call you Joy. When you get to the company later, disclose everything to your President Warner, and don’t do such things again. As for your ordeal with Theodore Quinne, decide for yourself whether to report him. I’m not you and can’t empathize with your hardship, so I won’t make the decision for you. But he won’t get away with falsifying accounts."

lody Yardley: "I will tell the police. I’m likely not the only female victim; hopefully, he’d get a longer sentence."
