At this, Meredith Rowan felt a headache brewing. "Audrey Osborne is helping Phoebe Ainsworth?"
'Everyone knows Phoebe Ainsworth and Audrey Osborne are enemies. Help her?'
'If she recalled correctly, Audrey Osborne had just had a showdown with Phoebe Ainsworth at the port. All kinds of stories about it were already circulating on the island.'
"Aunt Rowan, I didn't believe it at first either, but then someone sent me a message."
