Seeing Audrey's suspicion, Sienna felt extremely guilty and quickly explained, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying!" Audrey chuckled, her eyes showing a mysterious knowing look. "If you really are Dr. Ausline, then why is Sunny agitated by your so-called professional treatment?" Sienna was speechless. She couldn't come up with an answer at all.
After all, her mind was completely blank, and she couldn't even make up some technical terms to bluff her way through. Moreover, she knew Audrey wasn't someone easy to fool.
After a moment of thought, Sienna decided to be stubborn and said, "Child psychology is a very complex subject. Each individual is different, so naturally, the symptoms in children can vary too!"
"Since you don't believe me, there's no reason for me to stand here getting insulted." She then turned around and was about to leave.
Audrey said, "Stop right there!"
Sienna turned back angrily, shouting, "What more do you want..." Before she could finish, a blinding light suddenly froze her in place.
With her back to everyone, Audrey gently twirled the chain of a pocket watch between her fingers, her voice soft and tender. "Sienna, you lied, didn't you?"
The swinging pocket watch was reflected in Sienna's pupils. She instinctively nodded obediently. "Yes, I lied..."
Their voices were so soft, like whispers, that no one else could hear them.
A few seconds later, Audrey put away the pocket watch and asked coldly, "Sienna, what did you just do to Sunny?"
Hearing this, Francis couldn't help but think Audrey was being unnecessary.
Asking this question now was a waste of time; they might as well just take her to the police.
Just as Francis was about to call the police, Sienna spoke in a robotic voice, "I took him to the room to try and hypnotize him for treatment, but he wouldn't listen or cooperate, so I grabbed him to give him a sedative. "He went wild and tried to hurt me, and I pinched him a bit..."
Hearing that Sienna had attempted to sedate Sunny, rage surged within Audrey. But for the greater good, she had to hold back her anger, take a deep breath, and continue to ask, "Do you really understand child psychology?" Sienna's expression faltered clearly, but her mouth moved uncontrollably, "I don't. I've never studied child psychology. I'm a fraud pretending to be you."
Hearing this, Michael was
completely stunned. He thought, 'What does, she mean? Isn't SiennÄ… supposed to be Dr. Ausline? Why did she say she was pretending to be Mrs. Hayes? Could it be that Mrs. Hayes is actually Ausline?
Audrey ignored Michael's surprise, turned to Sienna, and asked, "How did you get out early?"
Sienna blinked and said without expression, "Six years ago, three months after I was imprisoned, my parents paid to get me out. To keep it a secret, they had to send me overseas... en
"Back then studying abroad wasn't just about having money, especially for someone with a record. Many schools overseas wouldn't accept me unless I could give them a reason to take the risk.
"During that time, I was feeling down and spent a lot of time online. I stumbled upon a forum where Ausline had published a paper on child psychology..." Sienna couldn't tell if the paper was good or bad, but many people on the forum praised it for being very professional.
Driven by selfish motives, she printed out the paper and put her own name on it.
Unexpectedly, a renowned principal from abroad noticed this paper.
Thinking the paper was hers, the principal not only arranged for her free admission but also celebrated her as a genius in psychology.
At first, she didn't know that the mysterious Ausline was actually Audrey.
One day, she accidentally stumbled upon traces Audrey left online, and after investigating further, she learned the truth.noveldrama
However, she didn't stop impersonating; instead, she continued using the papers even more boldly. Until she became the internationally renowned Ausline. After getting the answer she wanted, Audrey stepped forward and gently patted Sienna's shoulder.
Sienna suddenly snapped back to her senses. She had been aware of everything that had happened just now.
Realizing she couldn't keep it a secret anymore, she crouched on the ground in agony, covering her face and choking up.
She said, "I didn't want to do this, Audrey. If you hadn't refused to settle privately and insisted on pushing me to the brink, I wouldn't have pretended to be you..."
Audrey looked at her silently, her beautiful eyes as cold as ice. "I won't let you go. Get ready to face the law."
Sienna collapsed to the ground, knowing she probably couldn't escape this time.
