Vanessa Sterling also embraced a "breaking the pot" ntality, if Miles Sterling changed his mind, she would still raise the knife against him.
In short, she didn’t want to continue living freely, or else drag Miles Sterling down to hell with her.
The next morning, Vanessa ntioned she wanted to buy an apartnt to live alone.
Audrey Sutton then thought about the apartnt where she had lived with Shane Warner for a period of ti. Flora Lane had been living there, but after confirming her relationship with Lucian Quinn, Flora moved to Lucian’s house. The artist she shared with also moved out recently, so the apartnt was left empty.
After breakfast, Audrey took Vanessa to check out the apartnt.
Coincidentally, Vanessa was also planning to apply for the adult college entrance exam to complete the studies she had missed.
This apartnt was quite close to the school, making it much more convenient living there once she was admitted.
The reason Vanessa was eager to find a place was actually to bring over Blackie, who was temporarily staying at Bianca Jennings’ place, and take care of him herself. Besides, Audrey had her own life and family, and Vanessa couldn’t always be a bother to Audrey.
Vanessa didn’t have much luggage, so once it was decided that she would move in, Audrey took her to a nearby supermarket to buy so daily necessities.
It seed like they hadn’t bought much, but the shopping cart was filled completely. Audrey was pushing Anna, who was sitting in a stroller, and felt it would be difficult to take everything back ho.
She initially thought of calling Six for help to carry the items, but unexpectedly found out Scott Sutton was nearby the school.
Audrey didn’t hesitate to ask Scott to drive over and pick them up.
Scott Sutton, naturally, wasn’t as particular as Six, and when he arrived, he didn’t hassle Audrey for any sort of fare like Six would.
He walked up and easily lifted the two large bags Audrey had placed by her feet, asking, "Why did you buy so much stuff?"
Audrey, pushing Anna in the stroller, followed Scott to the car, laughing as she glanced at Vanessa and said, "My friend moved to a new ho, and I accompanied her shopping."
Vanessa, slightly reserved, greeted him, "Hello, sorry for giving you trouble."
Scott Sutton pretended to sigh and tease, saying, "It’s no small trouble for . When it’s a good thing, you think of your husband, when it’s a tough job, you think of your brother."
Audrey chuckled and said, "How can that be? Helping your sister move things is a happy event, isn’t it? It’s just my husband is out on a business trip, otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you for such a good thing."
Scott Sutton looked at Anna, who was sitting in the stroller, looking around, and smiled, saying, "No worries, when Anna can run errands, I’ll use him then."
Audrey laughed, lowered her head, and said to Anna, "Rember, your uncle helped your mom move things today, so you have to show him filial respect in the future!"
Anna didn’t understand at all, thinking Audrey was just playing with him, and laughed joyfully, waving his hands and feet.
Scott Sutton put the items in the trunk and then ca over to help Audrey fold the stroller, speaking to Anna while folding it, "Hey buddy, don’t just laugh. With six uncles and a dad, your future retirent burden isn’t small."
Holding Anna, Audrey said, "My son won’t be providing your retirent, have your own kids."
After putting the stroller in the trunk, Scott Sutton walked over to gently pinch Anna’s cheek and said, "Don’t listen to your mom, the eldest brother is like a father, it’s only natural to provide for us when you grow up."
Anna just kept smiling foolishly.
The little boy, although resembling his expressionless father, burst into giggles whenever soone teased him.
Audrey held Anna and sat together with Vanessa in the car’s back seat, and Scott Sutton happened to receive a call just after starting the car, conversing all the way using a Bluetooth headset.
Audrey then played with Anna along with Vanessa in the back seat, Anna particularly loves outings, whenever he goes out, he opens up his big, round eyes, gazing curiously everywhere.
As the car was approaching the apartnt, ahead there appeared a girl riding a small electric scooter, with a large black plastic bag, filled with clothing-like items, fastened in the empty space at the back of the scooter.
The black plastic bag nearly obscured half of the girl’s body, faintly visible as she rode and had one hand free to take phone calls.
When Scott Sutton’s car was about to pass by the girl, he honked to alert her of the vehicle behind, a bit concerned that she might lose control with just one hand and cause unnecessary accidents like scraping.
Upon hearing the horn, the girl glanced at the rearview mirror and moved slightly towards the road’s edge but didn’t hang up the phone.
Scott Sutton didn’t mind too much and continued straight ahead, neither fast nor slow, passing the girl.
The apartnt entrance was just ahead; Scott Sutton slowed down, waiting for security to open the gate for them.
Looking through the rearview mirror, he saw the girl with the small scooter was following behind, seemingly also a resident here.
Having finished her call, she was tucking her phone into her pocket.
After securing her phone, she looked up, waiting to be let through.
When the girl looked up, Scott Sutton got a clear glimpse of her face.
She resembled soone, but he knew it couldn’t be her.
However, he recalled the girl once ntioned she had a twin sister.
Could it be such a coincidence?
As the barrier rose, Scott Sutton’s car drove into the neighborhood, with the girl following right behind.
At the first intersection in the neighborhood, they parted ways; Scott kept an eye out on the direction the girl headed. After helping Audrey carry the items upstairs, Scott didn’t imdiately drive out of the neighborhood. Instead, he turned in the direction the girl had gone.
A few buildings away, in one of the block’s bicycle parking areas, he spotted the scooter the girl had just ridden.
Sitting in his car, he scanned the area and morized the address. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw the girl rushing downstairs once more.
Without even catching her breath, she hopped on the scooter and dashed out again.
Curious, Scott drove after her, following all the way to Rivia’s largest clothing wholesale city.
Watching as the girl entered, roughly five minutes later, she erged pulling a woven nylon bag that looked heavier than she was.
She heaved it onto the small scooter, secured it with elastic straps, and imdiately turned to go back.
Scott was a bit puzzled; residents in that neighborhood were affluent and privileged.
Judging from what he observed so far, the girl seed to be in the clothing business, likely having made so money to reside in such a place.
But if that’s the case, why was she doing such physical labor herself?
Thinking from another angle, one could easily find porters nearby, could she possibly be unwilling to spend even that bit of money?
Perplexed, Scott continued to follow, but it seed like this was the girl’s last trip for moving goods.
Seeing she didn’t co downstairs for about half an hour after entering the building, Scott drove away with a thoughtful expression.
