Chapter 30 A Pinky Promise
Carlie Cutic: “Really? Audrey? The top three of the grade?” She sent an emoji which was a frightened face.
Carlie Cutie: “She wants to go from the bottom six to the top three? With her pathetic IQ, she’s lucky she doesn’t come last. Gosh, this is the biggest joke I’ve heard all year!”
Kel Here: “Carlie, don’t mock Audra. Perhaps she can do it indeed.”
Carlie Cutie: “Stop defending her. She is so cocky. Well, I happen to be on the second floor of the restaurant. I’ll come down right now to see how cheeky she is!”

Audrey, Elise, and Rylan were at the dining table.
Elise looked at Audrey with a smile, saying, “Audra, I know you want to improve, but there’s no need to talk big. It’s not a good habit.”
Rylan frowned and looked at Audrey more seriously. “Audra, Elise is right. Don’t make empty promises.”
“Agreed. Audra, you were sixth from the bottom in the last exam. It’ll be a fairytale if you can make it to the top three this time,” Kelsey said. with a look of disdain.
Audrey ignored Elise and Kelsey. She looked up, her eyes innocent and pure. “Dad, just have faith in me one more time. OK?”
The bright lights in the restaurant shone on Audrey’s head and her fair, flawless face. Her long eyelashes flickered, and her crystal–clear eyes.
were tinged with red. It looked like she was sad, because Rylan did not believe her.
Rylan couldn’t remember how long it had been since Audrey acted like a spoiled girl when she was around him.
She grew up to be an arrogant girl who was always disobedient to him, and she would only talk to him properly when she made a big mistake at school.
He knew that she was just bragging and that he ought to scold her, yet when she looked at him with her dark, watery eyes, he felt his heart soft a bit uncontrollably, and he could not bear to say anything harsh to her.
He raised his slender, distinct hand and patted her head gently. “If you can move forward by a hundred in rank, I will say yes to anything you
want.”
“Really?” Audrey’s big, watery eyes gleamed with surprise. She held out her fair hand to Rylan, and the two dimples at the corners of her mouth made her look sweet. “Dad, let’s make a pinky promise.”
Looking at the pretentious Audrey, both Elise and Kelsey looked irritated.
Rylan indulged Audrey and let her get her way. He indeed raised his hand and made a pinky promise with her.
Audrey wasn’t in the mood to join them for the late–night snack. She stood up and left despite Rylan’s attempts to stop her.
Then Audrey walked to the door of the restaurant and sensed a gaze on her. She looked back and saw Carlie, who was standing at the cash register, staring at her with a half–smile.
Audrey sneered, turned around, and left.

Chapter 30 A Pinky Promise
Rylan was still reveling in how much more obedient Audrey seemed to be, while Elise walked up behind him and massaged his shoulders. “Audra fancied a limited edition men’s watch in a magazine some time. ago, and I figured that she was going to send it to some boy in her class. I didn’t buy it for her, because it was too expensive. She hasn’t talked to me much lately. Perhaps she has been holding a grudge because of this.”
Rylan was busy at work, and Audrey hadn’t been close to him. Elise. kept an eye on Audrey most of the time..
Hearing Elise’s words, Rylan frowned. “You mean Audra is having puppy love?” He looked at Kelsey aside. Then he asked, “Kel, do you know about this?”
Kelsey looked down and said, looking too timid to tell the truth, “Rylan, I… don’t know anything.”
Elise said to Rylan gently, “Don’t ask Kel about that. You know Audra better than anyone. If Kel indeed tells you something. Audra will surely give her a hard time. You know what? After this month’s exam results are out, we may go to the school together to learn more about. it.”
Elise knew very well about Audrey’s academic performance. She figured that Audrey was talking big about making it to the top three. Let alone that, moving forward by a hundred in rank would be nothing but a fantasy.
Audrey’s recent changes and Rylan’s attitude toward her had Elise a little rattled.
Elise thought, “Over my dead b*dy will I let Audrey get in the way of me marrying into the Watson family. I have to let Rylan down completely with his stupid, loser daughter!”
