Vengeful

That night, Audrey had the recurring dream again.

In the dream, the tall, upright figure kept walking towards her. This time, Audrey saw

the face.

He was cold and noble, haughty and proud, exuding an air of indescribable prestige.

The man had a tall, slender build and was dressed in a black suit, his entire demeanor radiating an icy, aristocratic aura. His eyes looked down at her with a condescending gaze, as if she were a tiny ant.

His deep eyes showed no trace of emotion, and his thin lips curved slightly as he said. the harsh words.

He cuffed Audrey’s wrists with a pair of silver handcuffs and said coldly, “Audrey, a lifet for a life. You injured my mother, so three years in prison for you is fair.”

The cold handcuffs snapped shut around her wrists, instantly jolting Audrey awake, from the dream.

Audrey glanced at the time. It was still carly. She got out of bed, washed her face in the bathroom, and then went to the study.

The next morning, as soon as William got up, his assistant called.

“Mr. Hernandez, something’s wrong. Neptune Investment is pulling out!”

William said, “What?”

William was shocked at the assistant’s words.

He urgently asked, “How could they pull out? We had everything settled, and the funds. were supposed to come through this month. What happened? Have you asked Neptune Investment about the situation?”

The Hernandez Group’s cash flow was already in serious trouble, and the investment from Neptune Investment had been settled. How could there suddenly be a problem?

William was deeply worried.

Without this investment, the Hernandez Group could face bankruptcy due to a broken cash flow chain.

“They didn’t give specifics, just said they were pulling out,” his assistant said.

William looked grim.

At this moment, Rebecca came over to call William down for breakfast. Seeing his grim. expression, she gently asked, “Wh ang? Why do you look so upset?”

William said unfriendly, “An investment we secured is being withdrawn.”

“What? Why are they suddenly withdrawing?” Rebecca was startled, then remembered Audrey’s words from the previous day, her heart sinking.

Rebecca thought, ‘Could it really be that bitch Audrey causing trouble? But how could that be possible? How could Audrey have such power?”

Rebecca gritted her teeth, feeling unwilling.

Rebecca said, “Honey, it must be that bitch Audrey. I didn’t want to tell you, but I didn’t expect her to actually do something like this!”

William asked, “Audrey came by? What did she say?”

William became even more furious at the mention of Audrey.

Rebecca said, “What else could she say? She wants us to return the 100 million dollars

to her. But we don’t have the money now. When I told her off, she threatened us, saying she would cut off all our business partnerships!”

William said, “Outrageous! She doesn’t even respect me!”

William was livid at Rebecca’s words.

Rebecca incited, “Exactly! After all, we’ve raised her. Now that she’s become Mrs. Roscente’s goddaughter, she doesn’t even think of helping you. Instead, she’s trying to oppose you. If it were Sarah, she definitely wouldn’t do this!”

As expected, William’s expression darkened further.

“I don’t know what the Roscente family sees in her. Sarah is a hundred times better!” William said. He suddenly had an idea. “Doesn’t Sarah have a good relationship with Emely? Have her visit the Roscente family more often. Maybe they’ll take Sarah as their goddaughter too!”

Rebecca’s eyes lit up but then she sighed, “I’m just worried Audrey might speak ill of Sarah to the Roscente family. They might end up disliking Sarah.”

“She wouldn’t dare! William snorted, full of disdain for Audrey. “I’ll call her later and have her take Sarah to the Roscente family. We’ll make sure they also accept Sarah as their goddaughter!”

“I’m afraid Audrey won’t agree.” Reberca’s eyes shone, but she added cautiously.

“If she refuses, I’ll disown her!” Wi nothing could change that. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

said. After all, he was Audrey’s father, and

William’s plan seemed perfect; but he hadn’t finished his breakfast when his assistant called again.

“Mr. Hernandez, several of the project partners we previously discussed are now seeking to terminate their contracts with us!”

William said. “What? I’ll be there immediately!”

William had no time for breakfast. He grabbed his coat and rushed out the door.

After breakfast, Brian hadn’t seen Audrey. His big eyes darted around

Brian asked, “Wendy, is there more oatmeal?”

“Yes, would you like another bowl, Brian?” Wendy offered.

“Not me. Can you pack a bowl for me?” Brian said.

“Are you taking it to Ms. Hernandez?” Wandy assumed he was.

“No, I want to take it to a patient,” Brian said.

Wendy looked at Brian with a tender smile and said, “Are you taking it to Mr. Clifford?”

“Shh!” Brian quickly put a finger to his lips and said in a low voice, “Wendy, keep your voice down. Don’t let Audrey hear.”

“Alright, I’ll pack it in a thermal container for you. Callum can take you later!” Wendy smiled dotingly.

“No need, Andrew will pick me up,” Brian said.

By the time Andrew arrived, Brian was waiting outside with a thermal container.

As soon as the car stopped, Brian jumped in.

Ror.

“Andrew, why are you so slow?” Brian complained.

“Do

you know how far it is from the Roscente family to here? Don’t complain. What’s in the container, breakfast for me?” Andrew asked.

Andrew glanced at the container

was holding.

“Not for you. If you want some, I’ll ask Wendy to make you some next time,” Brian said.

“Like I need it!” Andrew chuckled, “Does your Mom know you’re visiting your dad?”

“No. She’s still sleeping,” Brian said.

The car left Greencloud Mountain and headed towards Clifford Mansion.

Shawn and Cade were there and were surprised to see Andrew bringing Brian here.

“Brian, what are you doing here?”

“Bringing some love!” Andrew said, then looked at Brian. “I’ll take you upstairs to see your dad.”

Carrying the thermos, Brian followed Andrew upstairs.
