Chapter 89 - Probing (2/2)

As expected.

Audrey pretended to be very sad and said, “Yes, when my mother left me, she only left me some things. I originally thought that my mother had just gone on a trip with her friends. I didn’t expect that my mother would never come back after she left.”

Lance frowned when he heard that. “I’m really sorry, miss Audrey. I didn’t mean to trigger your sad past.”

“It’s alright.” Audrey sniffled. “After all, I miss my mother very much.”

He took out a small square handkerchief from his universe bag and placed it in Audrey’s hand.

Although Audrey did not know what Lance was up to, Lance’s gentlemanly manners were still worthy of praise.

Could it be because of the good weather or that it was a major festival today? The main city was exceptionally lively and bustling today.

Lance did not take any unnecessary actions. He was also very gentlemanly as he protected Audrey along the way, preventing her from being bumped by the crowd around her.

The two of them walked and stopped, and under Lance’s deliberate introduction, they bought a bunch of snacks and drinks.

After Audrey said that she could not eat anymore, Lance stopped.

The guards in the main city looked at Audrey, who was beside Lance as if they had seen a ghost.

“Damn, is she going to be our lord’s wife in the future… ? This is the first time I’ve seen the lord bring a woman into the main city.”

“If I’m not mistaken, this person is miss Audrey of the Davis family, right?”

“Are you talking about Audrey Davis, who has been a good-for-nothing for a long time and suddenly broke through to a level-10 Fighter overnight as if she had taken the wrong medicine?”

The few guards thought that they were whispering, but in fact, all of them had entered Audrey’s ears.

Lance had been observing Audrey’s expression, intentionally or unintentionally, until he realized that this person really did not care about what others said about her. Only then did he unwillingly withdraw his gaze.

What exactly was the reason that could cause such a huge change to a person overnight?

Lance planned to find a suitable time to ask Audrey again.

Audrey looked at Lance when he asked, “Miss Audrey, what do you think of alchemists? Why did you put such a precious level-10 potion up for auction in the Lisi commercial building?”

It’s finally here.

Audrey was on high alert. She thought that this person should use some soul-stirring fighting technique.

She did not expect this person to ask her directly.

Audrey smiled bitterly and sighed. “What use would it be if I used the potion on myself… besides, how do you know if I’ve used it before?”
