“It’s Audrey. It must be her. I won’t let her get away with this!” Sarah seethed, recalling how her reputation had been destroyed tonight, yearning to see Audrey suffer a thousand cuts.

“Audrey is insufferable. Darling, you have to stand up for our daughter this time. We can’t let her bully Sarah like this,” Rebecca said, her fury deepening at the thought of her beloved daughter being slapped and humiliated by Audrey, forced to kneel before. her in public.

Instead of gaining prestige, they had been thoroughly shamed. Now, the whole internet. was mocking and insulting them as illegitimate. Rebecca thought with regret, ‘I should have killed Audrey when I married into the Hernandez family so she and her annoying mother could rot together in hell!‘

“Don’t worry. Sarah is my beloved daughter. I won’t let that wicked woman bully her,” William vowed. The disgrace they suffered today in front of high society was a blow he couldn’t bear.

“But what’s with Mr. Clifford today? Not only did he not defend Sarah, but he also threw us out. What about my dignity?” William complained.

He had always believed that, no how embarrassing the situation, he still held the status of Dylan’s future father–in–law. Who would dare to laugh at him? Yet, Dylan’s action of throwing them out further humiliated them.

“Mom, do you think Audrey will take Dylan away from me now that she’s back?” Sarah. asked, her voice tinged with fear.

“Don’t worry. Audrey, a convict with an illegitimate child, even if she tries, she won’t succeed. Dylan might want her, but Mrs. Clifford and the entire Clifford family won’t accept someone like her,” Rebecca assured confidently.

“But Dylan embarrassed me in front of everyone. Now, I’m sure people are laughing at me, Sarah lamented. Every socialite in Northville dreamed of marrying Dylan, and after today’s flasco, they would surely be mocking her.

“Why rush? Tomorrow, I’ll visit the Clifford Mansion and speak with Mrs. Clifford. Your engagement with Mr. Clifford should be settled soon,” Rebecca said.

The next day, at Northville Hospital.

In the VIP room on the top floor, where Samuel was receiving treatment, several members of the Roscente family were gathered. Dylan and his associates were also present.

“Grandpa, why hasn’t your teacher arrived yet? Do you think she’s not coming?” Shawn asked anxiously. He had specially called Dylan here today and was curious about his grandfather’s teacher, expecting her to be an elderly woman given his grandpa’s age.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“What’s the rush? If my teacher said she’s coming, she’d definitely come,” Aaron snapped at Shawn.

“Aaron, are you sure there won’t be any issues with my grandpa’s surgery?” Andrew asked again, concerned for his grandfather’s life.

“Rest assured. If I were doing the surgery, the success rate would be around 50% at best. But with my teacher, it’s an 80-90% chance. Your grandpa will be fine.” Aaron’s words brought a sigh of relief to everyone, and their curiosity about his teacher grew.

Someone capable of earning such high praise from a medical authority like Aaron must be incredibly skilled. ‘Maybe there’s even hope for Dylan’s chronic headaches, they thought.

Just then, Aaron’s phone rang. “You’ve arrived I’ll come down to meet you. Oh, you’re coming up? We’re in VIP Room No. 8 on the top floor.”

Shawn was stunned to see his usually stern grandfather so excited and happy, almost like a young man in love.

Three minutes later, a figure appeared at the VIP room door. All eyes turned toward the entrance, and everyone was taken aback.

A young woman stood there, clad in crisp, tailored black attire, her wavy hair pulled. back into a ponytail. Her features were strikingly beautiful, exuding an air of cold detachment and a nonchalant elegance. Even as she faced the roomful of people, she maintained her composure and indifference. Her cold, exquisite beauty was indescribable.

Even those who had seen Audrey just yesterday, including Shawn and the others, were taken aback to see her here.

“Audrey, why are you here?” Cade was the first to recover from the shock, asking bluntly. He wondered, ‘Could it be that Audrey knew Dylan is here and came for him?”

The Roscente family members were equally puzzled. They were familiar with Audrey, particularly recalling the infamous scene years ago when Dylan personally handcuffed her and sent her to prison.

After her release from Northville Prison four years ago, she disappeared. Now, seven years later, this once–disgraced heiress of the Hernandez family had returned.

Audrey’s indifferent gaze swept over everyone before settling on Aaron.

“Ma’am, you’ve here.” Aaron’s voice shattered the eerie silence in the room, intensifying the surreal atmosphere.
