Chapter 177
Carol was unable to stay calm.
She gritted her teeth and asked, “Are you saying this because you're afraid our family will fight for custody of the
child?”
“Mrs. Franklin, as | said before, I'm willing to do a paternity test.” Audrey calculated the time. “The child is
currently with my husband’s family. If we need to do a paternity test, it'll probably be in about 20 days. You can
contactanytime.”
Hopefully, Carol would still be in the mood to discuss paternity testing with her 20 days later.
With Audrey’s firm stance, Carol couldn't make up her mind. She let out a long sigh and looked at
Audrey.
“Audrey, since the child isn’t Nathan's, you should just leave! Don’t cback to the country! It's better for

Carol couldn't contain her anger, her voice rising as she commanded, “Then change your life plans!”
Audrey chuckled softly. “That's not for you to say.”
“You!” Carol's chest heaved tically. “Our family has raised a backstabber!”
“Mrs. Franklin, | am grateful for the support the Franklin family providedin those years, wasn’t without

Franklin Group? Would the Franklin Group have reached its current
scale?”

Audrey remained calm, but there was a hint of sadness in her cold eyes.
“I'm grateful you and Mr. Franklin would cback after every holiday and bringa gift, even if... it was just
for show to Mr. Lambert. At least then, it gavesrare moments of warmth.”
Carol didn’t expect Audrey to be so forthright about this matter.
She becangry and sneered at Audrey. “Things have indeed changed. With Mr. Lambert from the Lambert
Corporation backing you up, you've learned to talk back.”
“Mr. Lambert has been supportingfor a long time.” Audrey stepped aside. “If Mrs. Franklin doesn’t want tea,
then please leave.”
Carol approached Audrey and whispered, “Without Ryan, you're nothing! Even then, he’s just an adopted son of
the Lambert family. Without the Lambert family, Ryan would also be nothing.”
Audrey smiled and nodded. “Do you wantto pass on that message to Mr. Lambert?”
Carol hadn't changed at all. She still had a quick temper and often said things she shouldn’t-leaving

Carol's temper was precisely why she lost the battle against the mistress three years ago. Even though Carol and
Nathan's father hadn't divorced yet, he hadn't been hfor a year.
Carol's expression changed. She grabbed her bag and left.
Carol only calmed down after slamming the car door shut. She regretted her outburst, realizing she shouldn't
have said that about Ryan.
She had previously instructed her private investigator to find Audrey’s whereabouts and discovered that Audrey
had been frequenting casinos, which made her worry about her grandchild’s well-being
at home.
How could she tolerate Audrey abandoning her granddaughter to gamble with others all night?
She was furious and couldn’t think of anything else.
“Drive!” She vented her anger at the driver.
