Vengeful

Chapter 21

Brian also saw the big bad guy who bullied Audrey. He snorted coldly, and he immediately stood in front of Audrey.

Unfortunately, he was too short to block Dylan’s gaze from Audrey.

Brian couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened.

“There you are!” Aaron said.

Aaron immediately stood up and respectfully welcomed Audrey as soon as he saw her

arrive.

Audrey nodded lightly in response, not giving Dylan any attention.

“You know these two, so I won’t introduce them. Mr. Clifford is here today because of his health. The medicine I’ve prescribed is no longer effective, so I wanted to ask if you have any method to cure his illness.”

After Aaron finished speaking, Dylan also looked at Audrey.

Audrey frowned slightly, her tone cold and indifferent. “Let’s take a look.”

Although Audrey didn’t say much, it still made Dylan feel a bit relieved.

At least she was willing to examine him.

They followed Aaron upstairs, and when Aaron saw Shawn following, he glared at Shawn and said, “What are you doing here? Stay downstairs and play with Brian.”

Aaron got angry as soon as he saw Shawn.

Shawn pursed his lips, turned, and called out to Brian, who was playing a mobile game on the sofa. “Kid, how old are you?”

Brian glanced up at Shawn and continued playing his game.

Brian thought, “The bad guy’s friends are also bad guys.

“Hey, kid, why aren’t you talking?” Shawn nudged Brian’s shoe when the little kid ignored him.

Brian looked at Shawn and sneered, “Because you look kind of dumb.”

Hearing Brian’s words, Shawn–exploded and said, “Dumb? Can’t you speak like a

gentleman?”

Brian scorned, “Not to you.”

Shawn found this little brat really annoying and said, “Do you want me to beat you up?”

“If you were smart, how come you can’t tell that I don’t want to talk to you?” Brian said.

Shawn was speechless. He was actually being looked down upon by a little kid.

Shawn thought hatefully, ‘How naughty Audrey’s son is!”

In the study upstairs.

Audrey quickly reviewed Dylan’s medical history. When she saw that his illness started the same month the original host went to prison seven years ago, her eyes paused.

Then she continued reading.

When Audrey focused on reading the medical records, she had a serious and solemn air about her. Dylan couldn’t help but watch her intently.

After Audrey had almost finished, Aaron asked, “How is it?”

“Where’s the medicine you’ve been giving him?” Audrey asked Aaron.

“Here it is.” Dylan took out a small box and handed it to Audrey.

Audrey took it, opened it, smelled it, and then handed it back to Dylan.

“Keep taking this medicine,” she said to Dylan.

“Is there any way to cure him?” Aaron asked Audrey. “My current medicine is no longer effective for him.”

“No way to cure it.” Audrey said flatly, “I’ll come up with a new prescription for him to try, but I can’t guarantee the results.”

Hearing Audrey say this, Aaron nodded immediately. “Alright.”

From start to finish, Dylan just quietly watched Audrey.

Even though Audrey was indeed different now, in his heart, she was still the same

person.

Audrey discussed the case with Aaron in the study for a long time, which benefited Aaron greatly and made him respect her even more. They only went downstairs when the butler called them for lunch.

After lunch, Audrey was ready to leave with Brian.

Aaron had the driver give them a ride, but Shawn quickly said, “No need to trouble the driver. Let Dylan do it.”

“Yes, I’ll send them. Don’t worry, Aaron,” Dylan said.

Before Audrey could refuse, Dylan had already agreed.

Audrey frowned. She had planned to call for a taxi, but now that Dylan had spoken, she didn’t want to worry Aaron, so she didn’t refuse.

However, she thought to herself that it was time to buy a car to avoid situations like today.

It was really troublesome.

Thinking about it, Audrey felt a bit agitated again, especially remembering their last unpleasant encounter.

Dylan drove Audrey and Brian to the hotel. Knowing Audrey’s current resistance to him, Dylan didn’t want to push her too hard.

“Thank you.”

Before getting out of the car, Audrey thanked Dylan.

“You’re welcome.”

Dylan watched Audrey and Brian enter the hotel before looking away.

After Audrey and Brian got out of the car, Richard respectfully said to Dylan, “Mr. Clifford, Mr. Mauricio Cruz has been waiting for you all morning.”

Dylan’s eyes were cold as he replied indifferently, “Got it. To the company.”

Back at the hotel, Audrey received another message from the person code–named “Python.”

Python: [I have a lead on the person you’re looking for, but I need to confirm it in

person. I’ll get back to you once it’s confirmed.]

Aud: [Where?]

Python: [In Northville, but I’m not certain yet

Aud: [Thank you. Sorry for the trouble.]

Python: [No problem.]

Brian, sitting next to Audrey playing a game, lost again to his opponent and was in a bad mood. He threw himself into Audrey’s arms, complaining, “Audrey, someone attacked me.”

Audrey glanced at her son’s stats and saw it was indeed terrible, with teammates blaming him in the chat.

“If you can’t play, why take the role? You waste our time. Everyone, just surrender,” a teammate said.

Ignoring the chat, Audrey took over Brian’s game. Once she respawned, she quickly gathered resources.

As soon as her resources were boosted, Audrey went into a rampage mode.

Her slender fingers swiftly tapped on the screen, countering the enemy and taking down all five opponents for a pentakill.

Audrey wiped out the enemy instantly.

By the time the game was won, both sides were still in shock.

“What happened? Did they switch players?” one of the enemies asked.

“It was just a weakling, but now, it was a pro. Impressive!” another enemy said.

“Who’s the pro player behind this account?” asked the enemy.

As soon as the game ended, the doorbell rang.

Ignoring the in–game chat, Audrey handed the phone back to Brian and went to answer the door.

When Audrey opened it and saw who was there, her eyes turned cold with disdain.

“Ms. Hernandez, may I speak with you?”
