Vengeful

“Follow her!” Dylan ordered coldly. He couldn’t let anything happen to her.

He hadn’t protected her well before, causing her so much pain and suffering. This time, he couldn’t let anyone hurt her, not anyone, not even himself.

Audrey dropped David off at school. He had evening classes.

After turning around at the school gate, she noticed a car following her at a distance.

After a couple of blocks, Audrey saw that the car following her had changed.

It was now a different but somewhat familiar car, with a similar sequence of numbers on the license plate. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

The car that had been following behind her had disappeared.

Audrey suppressed her emotions and accelerated towards Greencloud Mountain. Richard, in the car behind, also sped up to keep pace.

Both cars drove up Greencloud Mountain and stopped at the Holland family. Only then did the car following her turn around and leave.

Audrey watched it go, her brows knitted, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

After leaving Greencloud Mountain, Dylan headed straight to Northville Hospital for

treatment again.

Every time Dylan left the hospital, his wounds reopened, some even becoming infected. Whenever his wounds festered, Dylan refused anesthesia, allowing the doctors to scrape the pus away with sharp scalpels. The excruciating pain reminded him of the suffering Audrey had endured.

Only then did he feel a little relieved.

After all of Dylan’s wounds were treated and the medical staff left, Richard entered the ward.

Dylan asked, “Did you find anything?”

Richard said, “The people trying to kill Ms. Hernandez seem to be from overseas. I’ve already instructed The Patrons to investigate. However, it appears that the ones who attacked Ms. Hernandez previously and this time are not the same group.” Dylan’s brows knitted, his expression darkening, and his already pale face grew even colder and more severe.

Dylan said, “Assign a few members of The Patrons to protect her secretly.”

Richard was taken aback, glancing at Dylan. He hadn’t expected Dylan to assign The Patrons to protect Audrey.

“Yes, I’ll arrange it right away.” Richard nodded respectfully

Dylan then asked, “Any news from Rebecca?”

Dylan had been keeping tabs on the Hernandez family to prevent them from harming Audrey. Despite William and Sarah being imprisoned, Rebecca suddenly disappeared.

“We’re still investigating, Richard said.

Dylan waved his hand, closing his eyes. His pale face looked utterly exhausted.

As soon as Richard left, Dylan’s phone rang.

In the silent ward, the ringtone was jarring. Dylan glanced at the caller ID, his eyes darkening, and he hung up. The phone rang again within two minutes, so Dylan turned it off.

Half an hour later, there was a noise outside the ward.

Dylan opened his eyes. The door was pushed open, and Claire, who was elegantly dressed, walked in, her high heels clicking, handbag in hand. The guards at the door couldn’t stop her.

“What, does a mother need an application to visit her son?” Claire sneered, looking at Dylan lying in bed.

Dylan dismissed his guards, who respectfully closed the door behind them.

“What do you want?” Dylan asked.

Dylan’s gaze was icy as he looked at Claire. There was no hint of familial affection in his expression, only indifference and alienation, like two strangers.

“No matter how much you dislike me, I’m still your mother. It’s only natural for a mother to see her son!” Claire’s cold as she looked at Dylan.

“If I could choose, I’d rather not be your son!” Dylan’s face showed a self–mocking sneer as he looked at Claire.

“Are you here to stand up her coldness.

Claire said, “Dylan, you are my son. You must listen to me, or else I in prison!”

Dylan’s face immediately darkened, his cold, deep eyes turning cold. He glared at Claire, his eyes intent that could almost kill her.

Dylan said, “Try it. If you dare put her back in prison, I will make your life a living hell, cutting your flesh piece by piece and sending it to her!”

When she saw her son so protective of that woman, Claire’s face twisted in anger. She suppressed her rage and said sternly, “Come home the night after tomorrow.”

When Audrey returned home, she went straight to her study.

On the desk, four screens were lit up, each displaying dense lines of code running across them.

Following that, one of the monitors displayed a page, completely black except for the list of posted tasks. There was nothing else on the screen.

The top–ranked task on the list was her assassination, with a bounty as high as 2 billion dollars.

Immediately after, Audrey made a call.

“You’re still alive?” came the voice from the other side, lazy and with a hint of indifference.

“You’ve managed to save this life, so I better keep it safe!” Audrey said with a smile and shrugged off the voice on the other end of the phone.

“When did you cross Nightshade Alliance?” Paxton’s voice suddenly grew serious.

“Nightshade Alliance?” Audrey frowned, thinking. “I don’t think I have. Are you saying the one who put a 200 million dollar bounty on my head is from Nightshade Alliance?”

“Yes, The Silence just received the information,” Paxton said.

Since the information came from The Silence, Audrey didn’t doubt its authenticity.

Audrey frowned. She couldn’t recall any conflict with Nightshade Alliance, let alone someone willing to pay 200 million dollars to have her killed.

“I understand. I’ll be careful,” Audrey said.

After hanging up, Audrey focused back on her screens.

Her slender fingers kept typing on the screen as lines of code flashed past.

An hour later, Audrey’s expression turned cold. She pursed her lips, staring at the screen for a few seconds.

Audrey’s hacking skills were unparalleled, even on an international scale, but she found the opponent’s defense system to be impenetrable.

She wondered who was behind the defense system of the Nightshade Alliance.

At that moment, alarms sounded in a grand estate.
