Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

Chapter 22



Claire found out that Audrey had returned.

She had been searching for quite a while, but her son had protected Audrey’s information so well that Claire couldn’t find any trace of her.

After much effort, Claire finally discovered that Audrey was staying at this hotel and came directly to her.

Claire was surprised to find that Audrey was indeed staying here.

When she saw Audrey, Claire’s eyes flickered with hatred.

The thought of Audrey staying in the presidential suite at the Grandview Hotel made. Claire’s expression even more displeased.

A single night there cost over 20 thousand dollars. How could Audrey, who had been kicked out of the Hernandez family and had served time in prison, afford such presidential suite?

Claire thought that her son must have paid for it.

The more she thought about it, the worse Claire’s expression became, especially since Audrey had almost killed her back then.

Audrey said coldly, “I have nothing to discuss with you. Please leave.”

Regardless of what happened seven years ago, Audrey had no memory of anything related to Dylan or of those events.

So she had no desire to talk to Claire.

Audrey finished speaking and was about to close the door.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Claire blocked the door with her hand, looked at Audrey with disdain, and said, “Audrey, since you don’t want to talk, that’s fine by me. I don’t like seeing you either. I just came to say a few words, and then I’ll be on my way.”

“What do you want to say?” Audrey looked coldly at Claire, her eyes filled with hostility.

Claire said, “To be honest, I don’t like you at all, and you should know that my son doesn’t like you either. I don’t care what your intentions are with my son, but he’s about to get engaged to Sarah. I hope you stay away from him for good. I’ve heard you brought back an illegitimate child whose father is unknown. You’re even less suitable for my son.”

Claire looked at Audrey with disdain and took a check from her bag, handed it to Audrey, and added, “Here are one million dollars. If you spend it wisely, it should be enough for you and your child to live on. Take it and leave Northville.”

Audrey looked at the check Claire handed her and sneered.

She mocked, “Mrs. Clifford, rest assured, I have no interest in your son and won’t cling to him. You’d better go talk to your son and tell him not to appear in front of me. He’s annoying.”

Audrey finished speaking and closed the door without caring if it hit Claire.

When he saw the unpleasant look on Audrey’s face, Brian also became sullen, especially since that bad woman had insulted Audrey.

“Audrey, let’s never talk to that big bad guy again. They all bully you,” Brian said.

They can’t bully me,” Audrey said.

Audrey rubbed Brian’s head, her expression softening slightly.

*But they made you unhappy,” Brian said.

Brian’s lips tightened, his usually bright eyes dark and his face grim.

His aura changed, and his soft, handsome face suddenly turned pale, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead..

Audrey’s eyes sharpened as she coldly commanded Brian, “Brian, don’t bite your lip. Breathe deeply.”

“Mommy, it hurts.” Brian’s soft voice trembled with pain, his whole body shaking.

Audrey was shocked. She immediately picked up Brian and placed him on the bed, quickly fetching the medical kit and taking out a small box.

Inside the box was a neatly arranged row of golden needles.

When she heard Brian’s cries of pain, Audrey’s expression became even more composed, though she was distressed.

She quickly removed Brian’s clothes and inserted the needles into his body.

“Mommy, it hurts.” Brian’s voice trembled with pain, barely audible.

Fearing he might bite himself, Audrey offered her arm to Brian and said gently, “Brian, don’t bite your lip, bite my arm.”

“Mom… Mommy, it’ll hurt you. I don’t want to.” Brian’s weak voice trembled, but he endured bravely.

“It’s fine. I don’t mind the pain,” Audrey gently coaxed him, using her other hand to hold his jaw, preventing him from biting his lip, and offered her arm to his mouth.

“It hurts,” Brian cried out in pain, his body shaking, his vision blurring. He bit into Audrey’s arm.

The sharp pain pierced through, but Audrey seemed not to notice, only looking at Brian with love.

She softly whispered into Brian’s ear over and over, “Brian, it’s alright. Just hold on a little longer. It’ll be over soon. You’re the best. You’re a hero.”

After half an hour, Brian’s pain finally subsided.

Exhausted from the ordeal, Brian fell asleep as soon as the pain eased.

Audrey withdrew her numb and bleeding arm, droplets of blood falling.

Ignoring her own injury, Audrey carefully removed the needles from Brian and covered him with a blanket.

As she stood up, she felt a bit dizzy, clearly having expended a lot of energy curing Brian.

After a while, Audrey finally regained her composure and let out a sigh of relief.

But her face was grim.

When she thought of Claire, a hint of murderous intent flickered in her eyes.

If Claire’s words hadn’t upset Brian, he wouldn’t have had an episode.

After tidying up the medical kit, she walked out of the room and saw the door of the suit being pushed open from the outside. A tall, straight figure walked in quickly.

Hearing his subordinates report that his mother had been here, Dylan hurried over.

He had rung the doorbell several times, but no one answered the door. Dylan worried that something had happened to Audrey and Brian, so he had his subordinates get a room card and enter without permission.

Seeing Audrey safe and sound, Dylan breathed a sigh of relief. But then he saw Audrey’s. bloody arm and her gloomy face.

He quickly stepped forward to check on her injured arm.

“What happened?” Dylan asked.

Audrey jerked away from his reaching hand, glaring at Dylan with coldness and anger.

Her lips parted slightly as she said in a sharp voice, “Get lost!”
