Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

When Dylan said this, not only did Claire and Megan’s expressions change, but the guests were also shocked. They thought, ‘What did Mr. Dylan mean? Is he removing Mrs. Clifford’s authority as the matriarch?”

The guests looked between Claire and Dylan. There had always been rumors in the upper circles that Dylan and Claire did not get along. They had thought that it was just groundless rumors. Now, it seemed that it was more than just a disagreement. The tension between the mother and son was so thick it would be sliced with a knife.

“Dylan, what spell did Audrey cast on you to make you want such a disgraced woman?” Claire’s face was filled with anger and viciousness. She glared at Dylan coldly, her eyes filled with fury

Audrey suddenly smiled and looked coldly at the seething Claire not far away. She had always wondered where Claire’s intense hatred for her came from. From the past until now, Claire’s gaze toward her had always been filled with malice and hatred.

Audrey had tried to rummage through the memories of this host, but she found nothing. Audrey lowered her head slightly and suddenly felt that it was a little ridiculous.

When Dylan saw Audrey’s smile, his heart ached. Her hand was cold, but he held it tightly, refusing to let go. His deep and cold gaze was cold like never before. “Since everyone is here this time, aren’t you going to apologize for what happened seven years ago, Mom?”

‘What happened seven years ago?‘ Almost everyone thought of the same thing. Seven years ago, Audrey had almost killed Claire by mistake.

Although this incident was quickly suppressed, Audrey suddenly admitted to the crime. This also made everyone think that Audrey was vicious and deserved to die. They wondered if there was something that they did not know. They suddenly became curious and gossiped amongst themselves.

The expression on Claire’s face had darkened frighteningly. “Dylan, as the successor of the Clifford family, there are some things you have to think about before you speak.”

Claire looked at Dylan with a warning in her eyes.

No matter what, Claire was still the Clifford family’s matriarch. She was Dylan’s mother. If Claire had a scandal in front of so many people, it would embarrass the family. Dylan would not look good either.

However, to Dylan, nothing was more important than Audrey. Even the Clifford family’s reputation and status, his identity as the Clifford family’s successor, or his life, could not compare to Audrey.

Dylan’s aura was cold, and his presence was oppressive. His cold and deep black eyes stared at Claire like arctic pools. “Seven years ago, because you didn’t like Audrey, you wanted me to get rid of this fiancée. You directed and acted out an attempted murder, causing her to be sentenced to three years in prison. Mom, don’t you want to explain this in front of everyone and apologize to her?”

Dylan’s words were like a bomb that exploded among the guests. Everyone’s faces were shocked as they looked at Claire to determine if Dylan was telling the truth.

After Dylan exposed the Clifford family’s scandal in front of many Northville celebrities and wealthy families, Claire almost couldn’t maintain her expression. Her dark eyes looked at her son coldly. She was so angry that her hands were trembling. She thought, ‘Good. I can’t believe this is my son.’

“Dylan, if you don’t have any evidence, you’d better not spout nonsense. Back then, there were witnesses and evidence. It was Audrey who almost killed me. If it weren’t for my luck, you would have lost your mother long ago,” Claire said.

“Is that so? Do you think I would say this in front of so many people if I didn’t have any evidence? If I say it, it means I have enough evidence to back me up.” Dylan looked at Claire coldly.

Audrey looked at Dylanin surprise. Her cold eyes flashed slightly. She quietly retracted her gaze.

“No way, Dylan. Do you think I will believe you?” Claire was certain that Dylan would not have any evidence. After all, she had wiped clean all the evidence that could be left behind back then. This was also done to ensure Audrey couldn’t make a comeback.

Dylan’s dark eyes were deep and a faint light flashed in them. He naturally didn’t have any evidence, but it didn’t matter. If he exposed this matter in front of so many people, it would only increase everyone’s suspicion.

Regardless of whether there was evidence or not, Dylan had achieved the result he wanted.

At this moment, Megan walked out and looked at Dylan. She protected Claire behind her and said righteously, “Dylan, how could Mom do such a thing? Don’t believe the rumors outside. Some people are deliberately trying to sow discord between you and Mom. You can’t be fooled. In short, I won’t believe Mom is such a person.”

“I’ll hand over all the evidence to the police for investigation. I hope you can pay the price for everything you’ve done then, Mom.” Even if Dylan didn’t have evidence now, he would definitely find it.

“Alright, I want to see how you’re going to make me pay.” Claire sneered and glared at Dylan.

“Dylan, hurry up and apologize to Mom. She’s really angry. How can you wrong her for another woman?” Megan looked at Dylan anxiously.

Megan looked coldly at Audrey, who was standing beside Dylan. When she saw her being protected by Dylan, she felt an indescribable jealousy. Audrey had been in prison and had no right to Dylan’s love. She was not worthy at all.

Dylan stated, “Whether you’re innocent or not, you know very well, Mom. We’ll take our leave first. Please carry on with the party.”

Dylan looked at Claire coldly. He held Audrey’s hand and was about to leave.

The guests looked at Dylan in a daze. They couldn’t possibly continue when the party was already in such a state.

Seeing that Dylan was about to leave, Megan was extremely anxious. She hadn’t meant this by what she said just now. She did not want Dylan to leave at all.

Megan burst out, “Dylan, you can’t leave. Audrey is only a pretty face. She’s not worthy of your status.”

After Megan shouted angrily, the huge hall fell silent for a moment.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

The next second, a clear and indifferent voice sounded. “Miss Baxter, I disagree with you. My boss isn’t just a pretty face.”
