Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

Ransin’s ends chook all the board members present, and there their expressions brightened.

“Ms. Hemandes, is Neptune Investment really planning to invest 100 million dollars in the Hernandez Group? Are they inly going to collaborate with us on the development of a new project? one of the members asked excitedly.

Audrey nodded lightly and replied. “Of course. I believe all of y are seasoned directors of the Hernandez Group. Thank you for your years of dedication. I assure you that the Hermande Group will reach new heights under my leadership. However, if any of you have doubts, I suggest you sell your shangs and retire early. After all, I have a bit of a temper, and f might need some extra patience from you?

Andrey’s gaze turned cold, her indifferent and ruthless eyes carrying a hint of arrogance.

As she finished speaking, Ramiro thoughtfully pulled out several documents from his briefcase and placed them in front of the shareholders.

Originally, they had planned to leverage their status as an old shareholder, intending to use their seniority to deal with those people. However, their expressions all changed instantly when they saw what was placed before them.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

With a loud clap, one of the shareholders slammed the document on the table and angrily pointed at Audrey, saying, “What do you mean by this? Are you trying to threaten us?”

Audrey remained calm and unaffected, her eyes cold as she glanced at the shareholder who was red–faced with anger. She smirked faintly and said, “If that’s what you think, then so be it.”

Though her demeanor seemed casual, the shareholder felt a chill down his spine under Audrey’s gaze, unable to voice his discontent.

The other shareholders dared not speak up either.

William originally agreed to transfer all his shares to Audrey as a stalling tactic. After all, the evidence Audrey held was enough to send him to prison.

He intended to placate Audrey for the time being and later find a way to reclaim all the company’s shares.

However, he didn’t anticipate that Audrey would meticulously plan every step, leaving no room for error. Even the other shareholders, though angry, didn’t dare to voice their objections.

Furthermore, Audrey had Neptune Investment backing her, and William couldn’t fathom how Audrey had managed to establish a connection with Neptune Investment. She had certainly grown more formidable over the years.

The murderous intent in William’s eyes intensified. He couldn’t let Audrey continue to grow stronger.

Just then, the door of the meeting room was pushed open again, and this time, several uniformed police officers entered.

“Who’s William Hernandez? Please come with us!” one of the officers said.

The sudden intrusion startled everyone, and all eyes fell on William.

The police officers walked up to William and asked, “Are you William Hernandez?”

For a moment, William’s expression turned fierce as he glared at Audrey. “You set me up!”

Thinking of the incriminating evidence he had seen earlier, William almost wished Audrey would drop dead on the spot.

Audrey chuckled playfully and said to William, “How can you say I set you up? You’re not worthy of it.”

William realized that every gene today had been orchestrated by Audrey to keep him from ever turning the tables on her.

Audrey was truly formidable. He had underestimated her.

Audrey, you’ll pay for this William looked at Audrey with intellie hatred.

Audrey shrugged off his threat, not bothered in the least. She walked up to Williamn and said with a smile, “Before you go, let me give you a gift”

With that, Audrey took a document from Ramiro and handed it to William.

Ramiro felt like his briefcase was a treasure trove, containing everything they needed.

The document Audrey handed to William was a paternity test between him and Sarah.

As if William’s expression wasn’t already priceless enough, Audrey casually remarked, “I hope you like this gift!”

Audrey was somewhat surprised. She had thought discovering she wasn’t William’s biological daughter was shocking enough, but then again, maybe it wasn’t.

After all, William had never paid much attention to her since she was young.

Originally, she was just investigating William’s affairs and incidentally looked into Rebecca’s as well. Unexpectedly, she stumbled upon something so significant.

It was easy to imagine how precious Sarah was to William. Yet, in the end, Sarah wasn’t William’s biological daughter after -all.

This gift was like a thunderbolt out of the blue, leaving William stunned.

Even after the police took him away, he still hadn’t fully processed what had happened.

After William left, Audrey didn’t stay long either. She briefly discussed some matters and then left. Ramiro stayed behind to handle the aftermath.

At one point, Ramiro wondered if he was a lawyer or an assistant. He just hoped his boss would consider giving him a raise.

Just as Audrey left the Hernandez Group, she received a call from Danny. “The person you wanted has been chosen. He will report to the Hernandez Group shortly,” Danny said.

“Great,” Audrey said.

Audrey naturally did not have much time to guard the Hernandez Group every day, so she asked David to choose someone from Neptune Investment to be in charge of the Hernandez Group.

As Audrey drove off, she soon realized that something was wrong with her car. The brakes had failed, and her demeanor turned cold.

Fortunately, she was on a relatively deserted road leading to Greencloud Mountain after leaving the city center, so there wasn’t much traffic.

But even so, Audrey couldn’t afford to be careless.

She discovered that not only the brakes but also the steering wheel and doors had been tampered with.

It was clear that someone was trying to kill her outright, leaving no chance for her to escape, not even jump out of the car.

Moreover, the person behind this was meticulous, timing the sabotage perfectly so that Audrey wouldn’t notice until a certain point in her drive.

With a grim expression, Audrey stared ahead, her cold eyes glearning with a dangerous light. Without hesitation, she pressed the accelerator, aiming the car toward the mountainside. She instinctively braced herself, hugging her head for protection.

A loud crash echoed as the car collided with the mountain, shaking violently. Audrey felt like she was being to impact as all the airbags deployed.

The doors were locked, and Audrey couldn’t escape. Then, she saw a red light flash before her eyes, and in the next moment, she swiftly ducked down.

A bullet struck the car window, whizzing past Audrey’s head.

If Audrey hadn’t reacted quickly enough, the bullet would have pierced her skull.
