Chapter 23
Audrey's front and rear paths were blocked, and they all had a stick in their hands.
They were going to teach her a lesson!
After she returned to Peace City, other than the Four Seasons Group, she did not offend anyone else.
It was Julian's way to ask people to pick on her.
Audrey smiled as she looked at the crowd in front of her.
"Please move aside. You guys are blocking my path."
One of them sneered at Audrey, "You are Audrey, aren't you?"
"That's right. It's me."a
"Well, beat her!"
As soon as that person gave the order, the surrounding people swarmed towards Audrey to attack her.
Audrey calmly looked at the people around her, and slightly narrowed her eyes.
She had already reminded them just now. But they still rushed over ignorantly, so they shouldn't blame her for being impolite.
Just as the stick in one person's hand was about to hit her, Audrey suddenly lifted her foot and kicked the person away. Then, she dodged the other's stick and kicked him flat. Then, another person attacked her. She booted his wrist, leaving the stick in his hand fall to the ground.
Not long after, the six people encircling Audrey were all knocked flat.
Noticing that the situation was not favorable to them, the six people exchanged glances and fled.
After those people left, Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a pain came from her arm. She frowned and looked at her left arm. There was a cut on the outside of it. The blood tinted her white shirt red.
Just as she was dodging the gangster's stick, she accidentally hit the wall and was sliced by the nail on the wall.
It was neither proper nor polite to meet the client in this way. Audrey remembered that there seemed to be a health service center across the street from the alley.
...
Audrey was about to walk in the direction of the sidewalk. Unexpectedly, just as she left the alley, someone suddenly rushed over and grabbed her arm.
"Why is your arm hurt?" The one shouted sharply.
The one grasped Audrey's arm with great strength, and Audrey felt pain. Just as she was about to free herself, she heard Bryson's voice.
Audrey looked up and saw Bryson standing right in front of her.
Bryson's black eyes revealed a trace of anger.
"Mr. Bryson, why are you here?" Audrey regarded Bryson's face in surprise.
"What happened to your arm?"
Audrey glanced at her injured arm and tried to get rid of Bryson's grip. However, Bryson's strength was so great that she could not break free.
She realized it the night Bryson forcefully kissed her.
Therefore, she did not continue to struggle.
"It's just a minor injury. Would you please let me go?"
"Those who just escaped hit you?" Bryson's eyes narrowed slightly, and his entire body emitted a murderous aura.
Audrey smiled embarrassedly, "I broke quite a few of those people's ribs. They were more seriously injured than me."
"Get in the car. I'll take you to the hospital."
As he spoke, Bryson pulled Audrey to the side of the car.
Audrey saw that it was Bryson's Bentley Mulsanne. The lights had already been fixed, and it looked like it was new. The automobile service company was really efficient.
Seeing that his car was fine, Audrey felt relieved.
Upon hearing that Bryson was going to take her to the hospital, Audrey immediately stopped.
Noticing that Audrey was resisting, Bryson looked even colder.
Audrey hurriedly explained, "Mr. Bryson, there's a health service center across the street. I'll just bandage the injury there. There's no need to go to the hospital."
Bryson looked in the direction Audrey was pointing and saw a very dilapidated health service center.
"How can such a small clinic treat your injury? Go to the hospital!"
He said an authoritative tone as if he didn't allow others to disobey him.
Audrey was stubborn.
"Mr. Bryson, I have an appointment. I'm going to my client's company right away. I'm fine. I just need to bandage the wound."
"You need to go to the hospital for a general examination. You can see your client tomorrow."
"No, I won't put off till tomorrow what should be done today. I must keep my promise!"
Bryson narrowed his sharp eyes and squinted at Audrey, while Audrey fearlessly met his gaze.

The driver, Kolby, sat in the car in a cold sweat.
No one had ever disobeyed Bryson. Audrey was the first person who dared to say no to Bryson.
Those who confronted Bryson would only have one outcome.
Their future would be ruined.
However, what Kolby was worried about didn't happen. Bryson did not get angry.
After a while, the malicious aura around Bryson slowly dissipated. However, his grim face represented his displeasure.
"Go treat the wound!" Bryson said coldly.
Kolby couldn't believe it.
Bryson was surprisingly not angry.
Then, he watched Bryson bring Audrey to the health service center that Bryson despised.
...
The one who treated Audrey's wounds was an intern male doctor.
Audrey did not notice that Bryson's eyes were filled with hostility when he stared at the male doctor.
Especially when the male doctor tore the sleeve of Audrey's shirt to treat her wound, Bryson's gaze was so fierce as if he wanted to dismember the intern.
Although he was just an intern in this health service center, he had dealt with many patients' wounds, and he was quite skilled.
However, when he was treating Audrey's wounds, he repeatedly made mistakes in the face of the oppressive aura of Bryson.
While cleaning up the dirty blood on Audrey's wound, the male doctor used alcohol cotton with tweezers to cleanse the wound. The tweezers suddenly went loose and failed to clutch the cotton and they poked Audrey's wound.
When the male doctor wiped Audrey's wound with alcohol cotton, the pain was tolerable. But he touched her wound with tweezers, causing Audrey, who had shut her mouth and gritted her teeth to endure the pain, to let out a cry in pain.
It sounded awful.
Following Audrey's painful cry, Bryson pushed the doctor's hand away, and the doctor fell from his chair.
Then, Bryson grabbed Audrey's arm and looked at the wound on her arm worriedly.
"How are you feeling?"
There was no word.
Audrey didn't have time to respond to Bryson.
She pushed Bryson's hand away and helped the male doctor up.
"I'm really sorry. Did you get hurt?"
After the male doctor stood up, he hurriedly pushed Audrey away, "No, no, I'm fine."
Bryson was holding his breath.
