Toby looked at Wendy in surprise.
"What did you say? Quit the entertainment industry?" Wendy had just won the Golden Television
Award, and she could be considered a very popular star. If she quit now, all her previous efforts would
be wasted.
In addition, Wendy had tried so hard to convince her parents to agree with her entrance to the
entertainment industry, but now she wanted to quit voluntarily.
Of course, it was not from her bottom heart to quit. After all... she had fought for so long and even won
the Golden Television Award.
However, her current reputation had gone so bad that even if she would return to the entertainment
industry in the future, she could not turn it back.
She had tried whatever she could to prevent Toby from hearing the breaking news that defamed her.
That was the reason why Toby was so surprised when he heard that she was going to quit the
entertainment industry.
There were tears in Wendy's eyes, showing her reluctance to quit.
"Since I entered the entertainment industry, I have caused so many troubles to you and our company.
Besides, I am going to marry Mr. Julian in the future. I don't think his family will like a wife who always
appears in public."
Toby looked at his sensible daughter and gently patted her shoulder, "I'm very happy that you can think
this way."
"But are we going to let the eleven patents slip away?" Wendy bit her lower lip. "I really can't accept it.
They should belong to our company."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtToby sneered.
"So what if they have got the eleven patents? Even if they start producing, they still can't develop new
and better products. The customers will return to us sooner or later!"
Wendy's worry was relieved a little.
"It's true, but this event has brought heavy loss to our company."
"What it takes is just money. It is just a matter of time that what belongs to our Munn Group returns to
us. For those that were robbed by the Stanton Group, we will take them back sooner or later."
"Yes, we will!"
At this time, the telephone in Toby's office rang again.
"What's it?"
His secretary said, "Mr. Toby, the front desk just called me that a lawyer called Audrey wanted to see
you!"
"Audrey, how dare she come here!" Wendy said in anger, "She's too arrogant. Keep her out."
"Let her in!" Toby said in a low voice.
When Wendy heard what her father said, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"What? Dad? Why did you let Audrey in? She is the attorney of the Stanton Group. I suggest you not
see her since she is such a jinx."
"I want to see if she is really a resourceful lawyer!" Toby objected.
...
Soon after that, Audrey was guided into the office by Toby's secretary.
As they passed by the Munn Group's chambers, Audrey felt as if her experience here was something
that happened a lifetime ago.
She never thought that she would be here again as... a lawyer.
It was when she was standing in front of Toby's office that Audrey finally felt that she had really
returned here.
She straightened her back and looked at Toby's darkening face. He was not far away from her.
Her lips curled up as she walked into Toby's office.
Toby raised his head and saw Audrey's face. His gaze soon focused on her.
He wondered why this girl was so similar to his daughter who was sent abroad six years ago.
A voice came from Toby's throat, "Who... are you?"
"Mr. Toby, I am Audrey Koch, the attorney of the Stanton Group!" Audrey smiled.
Although Audrey was smiling, there remained a sense of indifference on her face and a domineering
aura around her body. She was totally different from those girls who would be scared when they saw
Toby.
'She said her name is Audrey Koch.'
'There do exist some people in this world who look like each other.'
When Audrey saw that Toby was staring at her, she smiled and touched her own face, "Mr. Toby, why
are you staring at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?"
"You look quite similar to someone I know."
Audrey sneered in her heart.
'He said that I look quite similar to someone he knows. What a clear boundary he has drawn.'
"Really?" Audrey smiled, "Ever since I came to Peace City, many people have told me that I look like
someone. Her name is... Audrey Munn."
Toby's expression changed when he heard the name Audrey Munn.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAudrey continued with a smile, "I didn't know what Chinese name I should use when I came to Peace
City because I had lived abroad for so long. But My mother's last name is Koch, so I named myself
Audrey Koch after I was recognized as Audrey Munn."
'Audrey Koch, Audrey Koch, her name is Audrey Koch.'
Audrey then heard the sound of a phone dropping to the ground in the lounge next door.
She had heard that Wendy was also working in Toby's office. She thought, 'It may be because she
doesn't want to see me that she is hiding in the lounge.'
'Now she is shocked again when she hears my name.'
Toby became tensed and didn't say a word. Audrey asked, "Mr. Toby, your face turned pale soon after
you heard my name. Is there something wrong with my name?"
Toby gnashed, "Audrey Munn is the name of my unfilial daughter!"
Audrey covered her mouth in surprise, "Really? What a coincidence."
"Why did you come to see me?"
After knowing that the name of the girl in front of him was Audrey Koch, Toby immediately wanted her
out of his sight forever.
Audrey calmly took out a piece of material.
"Mr. Toby, this is the final contract between the Munn Group and the Stanton Group, about the previous
development project in Norm City. Please sign on it as well as its two copies!"
Toby glanced at the cover of the contract. It was "Contract of Final Payment Confirmation."
Toby directly turned it to the last page without hesitation, then he signed and sealed on it.
After Toby signed all three contracts, Audrey left one of them on his desk.
"Mr. Toby, please keep it. I will leave now if you don't have any questions."
Toby didn't even want to see her and waved at her in disdain.
After getting out of Toby's office, Audrey opened the contract. Another cover appeared on the next
page, and it was "Contract of Patent Transfer".
