A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 73

As Mr. Shane saw Bryson and Audrey nestling together, he felt pleased and gratified.

If Bryson's grandfather could know Bryson had such a good wife, he would have peace in his grave.

Mr. Shane waved his hand.

"You two eat out. I still have something to do. I have to go now."

How could he be that silly to spoil these two lovebirds' fun by being their third wheel?

Mr. Shane had a good judgment.

Bryson said aloofly, "Since Mr. Shane still has something to attend to, we will leave you alone."

Bryson and Audrey escorted Mr. Shane into the car.

Bryson, wrapped Audrey with one arm, was still standing outside the car.

Mr. Shane said, "Stop here. I have to beg my leave. When I get a chance to Pine City one day, I will contact you."

"Alright, Mr. Shane, when you have time to come to Pine City, Audrey and I will pick you up together."

Audrey pulled a wry face.

At that time, if Mr. Shane came to Pine City again, she and Bryson would have already 'cancelled their engagement ', so she couldn't pick him up with Bryson.

Audrey smiled at Mr. Shane and said, "Mr. Shane, have a good trip."

"Well, I hope, next time, I can see you at your wedding ceremony!"

Audrey was silent.

Bryson smiled and tightened his arms to draw Audrey against him. He turned around to give an indulgent glance at her and then replied with a smile, "Hope your blessings will come true."

Mr. Shane waved his hand to Audrey and Bryson and asked the driver to set the engine.

Bryson and Audrey stood by the roadside as Mr. Shane's car heaved out of their sight.

Audrey heaved a sigh of relief when Mr. Shane's car turned the corner.

Bryson released his tight on Audrey's shoulder.

"I'm afraid that Mr. Shane will be disappointed when he comes to Peace City." Audrey dropped her shocking words.

Bryson asked, "Why?"

Audrey replied with a smile, "Since we are not really engaged. At that time, we must have already 'cancelled our engagement'."

Bryson looked at Audrey with anger.

"Perhaps Mr. Shane won't be disappointed."

Audrey raised her head in shock and then met Bryson's burning gaze. His gaze was so provocative that it made Audrey panic-stricken.

Bryson burning gazes all landed on Audrey. Then, Audrey felt her heart racing.

She turned around nervously, but she changed the subject with composure.

"Oh, right, thanks for your help in today's case. Without your help, I wouldn't have won!"

"You won because you did it."

Audrey shook her head, "Although I already have sufficient evidence to prove my client's innocence, yet it would be a different result without you and Mr. Shane's help."

She was the insider who knew the tacit rules of the courtroom.

"You really want to thank me?" Bryson asked mischievously.

Audrey's heartbeat accelerated again, and her cheeks reddened.

The promise to marry Bryson as a gesture of gratitude came back to her. Now she hated herself for ever saying that!

What would she say "thank you"!

Audrey clenched her teeth and said, "Well, I'll buy you lunch."

Bryson stopped playing trick with Audrey so that she wouldn't go back on her words.

"Deal!"

...

In Brook Villa!

There were fits of dropping sound and shouts in pain in the drill court.

Lance's bare upper body was drenched with sweats. The black lion tattoo on his back sprawled its terrifying claws, which was as frightening as its owner.

Lance's eyes glowed with excitement as if a wild beast had spotted its prey.

"More, one more!"

The subordinates were knocked to the ground one by one. They were so in fear that they didn't dare to get up again.

One of them lifted his jelly hand, but then put it down, "Boss, we can't win. Please let us go."

Lance kicked him in disgust.

"Don't slump there as a lump of dead meat. Get up and practice with me."

"We really can't win, boss. Please have some mercy on us. I've already got two broken ribs."

"You are good for nothing."

Because his subordinates pleaded to quit, Lance had to stop. He walked to the side of the arena, picked up his T-shirt and put it on.

As soon as his clothes were put on, Raye rushed over.

"Mr. Lance, bad news."

Lance shot a cold glance at him, "I'm not dead yet. What's bad news?"

"It's your brother-in-law, Kadin. Something bad happened to him."

Lance sipped his water and spoke.

"Didn't his case with Luis Thomson would be reopened today? What's wrong?"

"Kadin lost the case. Besides, the defendant showed the video footage and proved he was framed. Now Kadin is under apprehension."

Lance frowned.

"You said he was arrested by the court?"

"Yes!"

"The court could arrest him?"

"Well, we heard that Mr. Shane from Department J sat in on the trial too. It was his idea to arrest Kadin."

Mr. Shane! Lance narrowed his eyes.

"Why would Mr. Shane go to the court?"

"It is said that the defendant's lawyer is Audrey."

Audrey Koch! The defendant's lawyer was Audrey?

No wonder Kadin got caught.

Lance suddenly threw away the cup in his hand and looked at Raye, looking joyous. "You said that the defendant's lawyer was Audrey? Send me the video of the trial immediately."

Raye bit his tongue.

He could feel that what Lance really wanted to see is Audrey's performance in court, rather than the process of Kadin's arrest.

Shouldn't Lance be concerned about Kadin being captured by the police?

...

In the living room of Brook Villa, Lance was sitting watching the court video with his phone. When he saw Audrey standing up and righteously refuting Kadin's lawyer, Lance raised his eyebrows.

"My girl looks so good even in a lawyer's robe. She is so cute even if she speaks solemnly."

Raye, standing at one side, was lost for words.

'Boss, that wasn't the point right now.'

Raye couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Lance, Kadin is still in prison, aren't you..."

"My girl is talking, don't make any noise!" Lance roared impatiently, interrupting Raye's words.

Words once again failed Raye.

That's just a video. You can watch it again after a pause.

However, Lance was spellbound by Audrey, as if Audrey was already his woman.

He didn't have the heart to remind his boss that Audrey was Bryson's fiancée, and she would never be his woman, so his boss had better gave her up.
