Chapter 23
Thinking about Brian’s episode just now, Audrey directed all her anger and hatred at Dylan.
The moment she exploded, her violent aura was overwhelmingly terrifying.
Even Dylan was shocked by Audrey.
Dylan’s eyes shrank slightly as Audrey unleashed all her emotions on him.
He didn’t know what had happened, but thinking that his mother’s arrival might have driven Audrey to this point, Dylan tried to calm her and said softly, “What happened? Tell me.”
“Out!” she shouted.
Audrey’s cold eyes stared at Dylan.
That fierce and indifferent gaze made Dylan’s heart ache.
“Alright, don’t be angry. Let me bandage your injured arm first, then I’ll leave immediately,” Dylan said.
Facing Audrey’s anger, Dylan could only compromise.
“Dylan, I want you to get out of my sight forever!” Audrey said.
Audrey remained unmoved, coldly looking at Dylan before turning away indifferently,
Watching Audrey’s indifferent back, Dylan pressed his lips tightly. After a moment, he left the hotel with a grim face and instructed Richard to drive to the Clifford family.
At the Clifford family.
As soon as the car stopped, Dylan got out with a sullen look and walked straight into the house.
“Mr. Dylan.” The servant greeted him with respect.
Most of the staff at the estate had been with the Clifford family for decades. Seeing Dylan’s grim face, they greeted him respectfully and quickly left.
In the living room, Claire was drinking coffee. Seeing Dylan walk in with a darkened

expression and a strong aura, she knew why he had come.

“What, did she complain to you? Or you wouldn’t have come home,” Claire mocked as she looked at her son’s grim face.
Dylan stopped in front of Claire, his deep eyes coldly staring at her. Then he asked. indifferently, “What did you say to her at the hotel?”
Claire had already guessed that Dylan was here to question her about Audrey.
Hearing Dylan’s words, she scoffed, “What could I have said? Just told her not to waste your time and to leave you. Didn’t she tell you?”
“I told you before, I hope you won’t interfere in my matters with her, and I hope you won’t do anything.” Dylan’s voice was lower and more dangerous.
His cold eyes coldly locked onto Claire, the powerful pressure making Claire’s heart skip a beat.
She hadn’t realized how important Audrey would be in Dylan’s heart.
“Dylan, I am your mother. You expect me to make peace with a murderer who once tried to kill me?” Claire snapped.
Claire also looked angry.
Ever since Dylan got involved with Audrey, he had been defying Claire in every way.
“Since you know you’re my mother, you should understand the consequences of angering me,” Dylan said.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Dylan’s eyes carried a warning as he looked at Claire.
Claire’s eyes widened, and she angrily shouted, “Dylan, I am your mother. How dare you.”
“There’s nothing I don’t dare to do,” Dylan said coldly, his eyes icy.
Even Claire, seeing this side of Dylan, felt a bit apprehensive.
Dylan suffered from emotional detachment, so cold–hearted that even she, his mother, never mattered to him. Only Audrey could stir his emotions.
“If you go to them again, I will not let it go, even if you are my mother,” Dylan warned. Seeing Claire’s apprehension, Dylan left this final warning before leaving the Clifford family.
“Mr. Dylan, where to now?” Richard asked when Dylan remained silent after getting into the car.
“To the hotel,” Dylan said.
Finally, the car stopped in front of the hotel. Dylan didn’t get out. He just lowered the window and lit a cigarette.
Dylan didn’t have a smoking habit and rarely liked cigarettes, only smoking one when he was truly agitated.
At this moment, he was surrounded by a strong aura, and under the swirling smoke, his refined, handsome face looked even colder and more detached.
Without any instructions from Dylan, Richard dared not say a word.
They waited almost until dawn. Only then did Dylan roll up the window and say calmly, “Let’s go back.”
“Yes,” Richard responded respectfully, then drove away from the hotel.
Audrey had no idea Dylan had spent almost the whole night downstairs.
After taking a quick shower and rebandaging her wound, she went to check on Brian.
Seeing that Brian’s condition had stabilized, she felt relieved.
Stepping out of the room, Audrey made a phone call.
“It’s me. Help me find a laboratory,” Audrey said.
“Come to my research institute, Jessica said with concern on the other end. “Did Brian have an episode?”
“Yes, but it’s not convenient to go to your institute. Just find a lab,” Audrey said.
Aripany Research Institute was filled with international talents and even some intelligent dangerous individuals.
Internationally, Aripany Research Institute was also known as “Prison One.” Although Jessica was the director, getting in was still too much trouble.
“Okay, I’ll take you tomorrow,” Jessica agreed immediately. “Is Brian alright now?”
“He’s stable for now I need you to find someone to take care of Brian for the day,” Audrey said.
“No problem, I’ll arrange it,” Jessica said.
The next morning, Jessica brought someone to take care of Brian.
After instructing Brian, Audrey left with Jessica.
Jessica’s chosen laboratory wasn’t far. After parking the car, Jessica called the lab’s director.
Then they got out of the car and walked towards the lab.
Not far ahead, a man and a woman walked hand in hand towards them.
Seeing the pair, Jessica glanced at them indifferently.
“Jessica, why are you here?” the man asked.
The man and woman clearly saw Jessica and Audrey too. The young, pretty woman quickly let go of the man’s arm and explained. “Jessica, don’t misunderstand. There’s nothing between Nathan and me. I just needed his help, so I asked him to pick me up.”
The handsome young man wore a deep blue suit, but his gaze towards Jessica was filled/ with disdain and dislike.
Hearing Carly Morse’s words, his brows furrowed in displeasure.
“Carly, you did nothing wrong. Why explain so much to her?” Nathan said.
“Nathan, don’t let Jessica misunderstand.” Carly’s eyes flashed with a hint of smugness, though her face showed concern.
