Chapter 81 The Sports Meet
Kelsey went to the hospital after school.
Rylan and Elise had a meeting in the conference rooni. By the time the meeting ended, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening. Seeing Kelsey coming over. Rylan took the mother and daughter to a restaurant not far from the hospital for a late-night snack. Rylan had been living at the Watson’s house for most of the recent past, seldom going to Flowery Garden.
Although Elise was extremely annoyed, she knew how to conserve her energy. Recently, she had been behaving herself, being a good wife to Rylan, working late for several nights in a row. Despite her well- maintained face, she couldn’t hide her exhaustion.
Rylan admired Elise’s work ethic and ordered a portion of bird’s nest for both her and Kelsey. “Kel, mom’s phone ran out of battery. Can you lend your phone to mom to call your uncle?” Kelsey handed the phone to Elise.
Elise had a phone call with Hayden Beltran, and Kelsey heard that her superstar cousin, Camille Beltran, would be returning to the country soon. She felt a bit excited and anticipatory.

she comes back, even Audrey can only stand aside!
After finishing the call, Elise was about to return the phone to Kelsey when she suddenly saw a message on Line.
Carlie sent the photos she took that day to Kelsey's phone.
Elise clicked on the photo on her phone, her brow furrowed in confusion, “What’s going on? Why is Audra standing between two groups of boys, who look like they're about to fight?”
Kelsey’s eyelashes fluttered as she made a show of trying to take her phone back from Elise’s hands. “Mom, stop asking,”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Elise dodged Kelsey's hand and handed the phone to Rylan.
“Rylan, take a look,”
Kelsey looked uneasy and nervous, “Rylan, a friend of mine said she saw two groups of boys fighting over Audra. | didn’t believe her, so she sent me a picture. | don’t think Audra is like what the rumors say...”
Rylan’s brow twitched, “Which one in the rumors?”
“Rumors had it that Audra was playing both sides recently, flirting with the school bully on one hand, and messing around with some punk outside on the other... But they were all rumors, | believed Audra wasn’t that kind of person.”
Regarding the last exam, Rylan misunderstood Audrey without getting the full picture, and he had been feeling guilty ever since. Recently, he heard from an old lady that Audrey would study for more than two hours in the study after returning home from evening self-study, and she had become much more obedient and sensible. He found such rumors hard to believe.
“Audra isn’t like that,” Rylan said seriously, handing the phone back to Kelsey. “Kel, don’t just follow the crowd. Audra is your sister, you should stand by her and protect her!”
Kelsey bit down hard on her back teeth, her hands under the table clenched into fists.
Just because Audrey got first place in the grade, Rylan trusted her like
that?
Alright, she was determined to ruin Audrey's reputation at the sports. meet, to make Rylan ashamed of having Audrey as his daughter!
Soon, the day of the sports meet arrived.
Apart from the opening ceremony where school uniforms were required, one could wear their own clothes during the three-day sports
event. Many girls had changed into their private clothes, put on makeup, and done their hair. The swimming competition was held in the afternoon, and Rylan and Elise were going to come to watch.
In the morning, Audrey and Hannah went to watch an archery competition, had lunch in the cafeteria at noon, and then each returned to their classrooms to rest on their desks.
When Audrey was sleeping groggily, sudden sounds of argument and low sobbing came to her ears.
