The furious Brian quietened w

he heard Dylan’s words, but he still glared fiercely at

Emely. “I want her to apologize to Audrey. Brian pressed his lips together and coldly said to Dylan.

“Alright.” Dylan nodded.

Only then did Brian contentedly stay in Dylan’s arms, though his heart was still pounding wildly.

This was the first time Brian was held by Dylan. He thought, ‘Is this what it feels like to be held by Daddy? It’s not bad. However, this baddie treats Audrey poorly, so I’m still on Audrey’s side and don’t want to acknowledge him.

“There’s no way I’d apologize to Audrey. I didn’t say anything wrong. Why should I apologize?” Emely, although fearful of Dylan, still appeared arrogant. After all, she was the daughter of the Roscente family. If she apologized to Audrey, she wouldn’t be able to hold her head high next time.

“You don’t want to apologize? Fine. Richard, escort her to apologize.” Dylan’s dark, cold. eyes swept lightly over Emely.

The chill in Dylan’s gaze nearly terrified Emely. Dylan would never show mercy to anyone. She protested, “No. You have no right. This is my family’s home, and I’m their daughter.”

Emely couldn’t believe Dylan would force her to apologize to Audrey. She was frightened yet unwilling. But she knew Dylan, nicknamed the “Prince of Northville“, always kept his word and was ruthless. Seeing Richard coming over to take her away, she became even more scared.

“So what if you’re the daughter of the Roscente family?” Dylan always remained aloof and never cared about anyone. The only person who could affect his emotions was Audrey.

At this moment, Dylan’s expression remained indifferent as he looked at Emely. His thin lips were pressed into a sharp line and he exuded an intimidating presence. Dylan wore a black, hand–tailored suit, appearing noble yet aloof. Just by standing there, he induced fear.

Emely’s face turned nearly pale.

When Emely’s father, Jake Rosçente, heard the news, he hurried over to apologize to Dylan. “Mr. Clifford, my daughter is young and ignorant. I hope you won’t hold it

against her. Don’t worry, I’ll have her apologize to Ms. Hernandez later with a big present.”

Jake naturally knew today’s part

for Audrey. Audrey had healed his father, and his father valued her highly. Thus, he couldn’t let Emely cause any trouble today. Otherwise, it would disgrace the entire family

“Dad, why should I apologize to Audrey? I’m not going.” Emely was furious that even her father wanted her to apologize to Audrey. She thought, ‘Why does everyone want me to apologize? I’m not going.”

Smack! Jake was angered and slapped Emely. He said angrily, “You must apologize today, or you can’t come back home.”

Jake had spoiled his only daughter since young. But now, with the heir of the Clifford family looking on, he couldn’t continue to indulge Emely.

No one knew how Dylan would make Emely suffer if Jake continued to indulge her. Jake. knew Dylan’s methods well. He looked at Emely with a more serious expression.

Emely couldn’t believe her father, who had always doted on her, hit her for Audrey. Her resentment and jealousy toward Audrey deepened.

Seeing Emely’s hurt expression, Jake suppressed his heartache, hardened his heart, and quickly said to Dylan, “Mr. Clifford, rest assured, Emely knows her mistake. I’ll take her to apologize now.”

After that, Jake dragged the unwilling Emely away.

In the crowd not far away, Sarah, who had been watching, almost vomited blood with hatred. She didn’t expect Dylan to protect Audrey so much, even tightly guarding her bastard child. Emely should have killed that bastard child just now.

“Are you okay, Brian?” Andrew and the other two hurried over.

If something had happened to Brian in the Roscente family’s home, they would have had a hard time explaining it to Audrey. Moreover, the whole family liked Brian. If something happened, Phoebe would be the first to throw a fit.

“Andrew, I’m fine.” Brian shook his head. Luckily he had fallen on grass, or it would have hurt a lot when he fell. Even though that bad woman scolded him, he didn’t lose out. He had pricked Emely with a silver needle. She would suffer later.

Thinking this, a fierce light flashed in Brian’s lowered eyes, completely unlike what a six–year–old child should have: He thought, ‘No one can bully Audrey. Those who

bullied Audrey must die.

Emely dared target a child in front of so many people today. It showed a serious lack of discipline.

“Yeah. I’ll remind Uncle Jake later.” Andrew nodded lightly, feeling a bit angry too.

“Brian, Brian…” The video on the phone on the ground wasn’t hung up yet.

Dylan, holding Brian, walked over and picked up the phone. He saw a young face on the other end that looked just like his. Dylan’s eyes narrowed as he gripped the phone tightly. His icy black eyes almost pierced through the screen to see the other side’s

Lucas.

Lucas didn’t expect Dylan to pick up the video, he pressed his lips together. His body exuded coldness as he stared icily at Dylan.

Lucas and Dylan had nearly identical faces and almost the same cold commanding presence. Both refused to give in to each other as they stared at each other icily.

Finally, Brian snatched the phone from Dylan and struggled to jump down from Dylan’s embrace.

Dylan placed Brian on the ground, his dark, cold eyes still fixed on him. There was shock in his gaze.

“Lucas, I’m fine. I’ll hang up now.” Brian was a bit scared after being discovered by Dylan. After speaking to Lucas, he hung up the video call.

After putting away the phone, Brian looked up at Dylan.

Dylan’s heart was pounding, but his face remained calm and almost indifferent. His eyes were filled with overwhelming emotions. After a while, he closed his eyes, suppressing the intensity in them. When he opened them again, his gaze was calm. He walked over and ruffled Brian’s small head.

“Don’t tell Audrey you saw Lucas, or she will be angry.” Brian slapped away Dylan’s hand, pouting angrily. There was a hint of regret in his tone.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Dylan nodded. His voice was slightly hoarse. Alright.”

Dylan knew why Audrey didn’t want him to see Lucas. It was because once he saw

Lucas, it wouldn’t be hard to guess the father of Brian and Lucas. This was probably why Audrey only brought Bri ack this time.

Dylan never knew that when he handcuffed Audrey, she was already pregnant with his children. If he had known… Dylan dared not recall that scene. Each time he did, it felt like it was tearing his heart torturously apart.

If Dylan had known, given that he had lost his memory at that time, he would still have sent her to prison after seeing his mother severely injured by Audrey and lying in a pool of blood.

Dylan couldn’t imagine how his children were born in prison, or how Audrey felt back then. She had to hate him for how ruthless he had been then. That was why Audrey never sought him out. It was because she had already despaired of him.

Dylan couldn’t help but remember Audrey’s last words to him. She would never be with him ever again.
