Book Transmigration: I Wanted to Keep a Low Profile, but Everyone Noticed Me! Chapter 15: A Mother-Daughter Talk

Audrey and Anna had lunch outside before returning ho.

After returning ho and resting for a while, Audrey accompanied Anthea to her regular beauty salon.

Anthea was a mber of the salon, and the staff recognized her. They quickly ca forward to greet her as soon as she entered.

"Madam, who is this?" The manager hadn't seen Audrey before. Seeing Audrey and Anthea holding hands sowhat intimately, he hesitated in addressing them.

Anthea smiled and introduced, "This is my daughter, Audrey."

The beauty salon had hosted many wealthy ladies and young misses, so they were quite familiar with this social circle. They imdiately guessed Audrey's identity.

This young miss didn't have a good reputation among the social circle of wealthy ladies; she was said to always boast about her wealthy background and loved seeking attention.

Of course, even if the manager had such thoughts, he wouldn't show them on his face.

He extended his hand with a smile. "So, you're Miss Audrey. You bear a resemblance to Madam Anthea."

Audrey also shook his hand with a smile.

Anthea had been in a good mood all day; after all, this was the first ti her daughter had accompanied her to a beauty salon.

She smiled and ordered a full-body package for both Audrey and herself.

This was Audrey's first ti at a beauty salon; previously, she had been too focused on making money.

Audrey didn't expect the beauty treatnt to be so comfortable. She almost fell asleep while lying on the bed. She wasn't sure about the results, but after coming out with Anthea, she felt that her skin was refreshed, even though she didn't feel much else.

Seeing how Audrey enjoyed it, Anthea got her a mbership card so she could co whenever she had free ti.

After returning ho, Audrey returned to her room to read the script while Anthea pruned the flowers in the garden. She spent most of her ti in the garden.

Audrey ca out after reading the script for a while and saw that she was still in the garden.

But this ti she wasn't pruning the plants, she was watering them.

"Mom, don't you go out to et friends?" Audrey asked Anthea.

Anthea shook her head. "There's not much fun outside. True friends are rare in this social circle."

Audrey understood what she ant. People in this social circle could be fickle, often praising or criticizing others based on trends. Anthea ca from a modest background, and fitting into such an environnt would be challenging.

However, she was Gary's wife; presumably, no one would look down on her.

Seeing Audrey deep in thought, Anthea continued, "Audrey, rember, any honor gained by depending on others is fleeting. If you want others to respect you, you can't be seen as soone's wife or daughter. You must stand on your own."

Audrey nodded and replied, "Mom, I understand. Respect is earned through one's actions, not granted by others."

Anthea looked at Audrey with satisfaction, knowing that this ti she had truly understood.

Audrey had already realized how wisely Anthea lived, but she hadn't expected her to be so clear-headed.

If the original host had half of her mother's intelligence, she wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.

Before dinner, Gary, his father, and the two brothers arrived ho one after the other, each returning from the company office. However, they didn't arrive in the sa car, intentionally staggering their schedules to avoid coming ho simultaneously.

But no matter what, Gary was still very happy.

During dinner, Gary suddenly spoke up, "Let's have the birthday celebration at ho next Saturday."

Audrey didn't imdiately realize whose birthday it was.

But before she could think further, Eric interjected, "It's troubleso to host it at ho. We have to arrange everything."

Gary shot him a look. "You're not the one arranging it. Why do you care?"

Eric retorted, unwilling to back down. "Can't I care about the housemaids?"

Gary was annoyed by his response and then turned to Abner. "We've already obtained the cinema approval; give it to him."

Eric widened his eyes in disbelief. "You're using work to seek personal revenge on ."

Gary chuckled, not taking it seriously, "Your films, every single one of them, has been a flop. You'd better quit while you're ahead."

Eric abruptly stood up, seemingly ready to leave right then and there.

Audrey, who had been silent all this ti, looked up at him and sensed he was about to say sothing like "I'm full."

[You are throwing a tantrum at the dining table again. Seriously, are you still in elentary school?]

Eric noticed the subtitles above Audrey's head with a montary stiffness in his expression. Suddenly, he sat back down and retorted to Gary, "What do you understand? I make art films for awards, not money."

Gary had the sa thoughts as Audrey, but he hadn't expected Eric to sit back down. Gary raised an eyebrow, "Where are the awards?"

Eric replied with a cold tone, "You just wait and see."
