But neither Audrey nor Brisa said a word. The atmosphere was strained.
Eventually, Audrey spoke first.
"I've heard that Miss Easton just made a big deal. Congratulations on your first success in the Cordova Group!"
"Thank you, Audrey!" Brisa said indifferently, "Judge Samson told me that he met an excellent lawyer in the court.
That must be you. Congratulation on your case."
"Thank you, Miss Easton."
"By the way, I'm invited to lunch at the Cordova Mansion tomorrow. They want to celebrate with me. What about
coming together?"
"I'm sorry. I have an appointment," said Audrey.
"What a pity."
"Let's have dinner together another day."
"OK, I'm looking forward to it."
"I have to go to the company now. See you."
"See you."
After the stilted conversation, their smile disappeared when they turned around.
Though they didn't mention Bryson, their aggressive attitude was evident since they were rivals.
Audrey sneered.
She understood that Brisa tended to show off her close relationship with Caroline.
But Brisa's manner seemed low.

The next morning, Bryson came to pick up Audrey and Harold. The others went there on their own.
It was about an hour's drive from Audrey's home.
Seeing Bryson's car, Audrey was delighted.
Bryson opened the door for her. But she didn't get in the car.
"What's wrong?" Bryson was confused and glanced at her.
Pointing at the driver's seat, she said, "Let me drive!"
"You need a driving license."
Audrey immediately took out her license from the pocket. "I got it yesterday afternoon. Look!"
Bryson was speechless.
"No!" Harold refused before Bryson could say anything.
"None of your business. Go away." Audrey glared at him.
"Dear sister!" Harold folded his hands and said, "I don't want to die. I've to take care of you when you get older."
Audrey was angry.
She beat Harold on the head.
"What do you mean? Will I die before you?"
"Dear sister, you will live a long life! But I don't want to die now." Harold touched his head and chuckled.
"Damn! Don't doubt about my driving skill," Audrey pointed at Bryson, "I'm good at driving. He can prove that."
Bryson coughed and said, "We need to take the highway. The new drivers can't drive on the highway in the first
year."
"Yes, that's the point. Bryson is right. You can't drive on the highway in the first year."
Audrey couldn't argue.
She felt disappointed since she was eager to have a try.
She wanted to drive on the highway. It seemed hopeless.
Of course, Bryson knew what Audrey was thinking about.
She seemed to ignore the additional rule: a new driver could drive on the highway accompanied by a driver who
had had the driving license for at least two years.
Fortunately, she forgot about it. Otherwise, Bryson would be scared to death. He wanted to live a longer life with
her as well as their children and even grandchildren.
Audrey had no choice but to get in the car and sit down in the passenger seat.
But Bryson noticed that she was staring at the steering wheel. Her eagerness was obvious.
He almost couldn't help allowing her to drive. But he finally gave up.
That was all for their safety.
Audrey, in a bad mood, just kept looking out of the window.
On their way to the bungee jumping site, they passed through a circuit.
Audrey glanced at the entrance.
The circuit was always crowded in the past. But it was empty today. Audrey noticed that a piece of paper was
pasted on the gate. A large word "CLOSED" was written on it.

"The circuit is closed," Audrey said in surprise.
Bryson glanced at the circuit. It was the circuit that he ordered to close. So he remained calm and continued to
drive.
"Really?"
"Why is it closed suddenly?" Audrey was confused.
"That's nothing surprising. Car racing is dangerous. Maybe someone was involved in an accident here. So it is
closed." Harold said while playing the mobile game.
Audrey wasn't doubtful about his answer.
She nodded and said, "That's true."
She turned around and looked at the circuit again.
She once planned to participate in the competition. What was a pity!
Bryson glanced at Audrey and understood her mind. Then he sneered.
Fortunately, the circuit was closed. It would drive him mad if Audrey took part in the competition.
...
About an hour later, they reached the bungee jumping site.
Audrey and Harold got off the car before Bryson drove to the parking lot. Bryson gave his phone and wallet to
Audrey.
As soon as Bryson left, his phone rang.
Audrey glanced at the phone screen and saw that it was from Bryson's mother. She frowned.
She picked up the phone after hesitation.
