Simon turned to his team and said, “Show Mr. Hernandez the list.”

Audrey nodded. She trusted Simon’s team to handle it.

One of the lawyers handed the list to William. “Mr. Hernandez, please. If everything is correct, we need you to sign and pay the amount to my client.”

William’s face darkened. “I don’t have that much money.”

The lawyer smiled and pulled out another document. “If you can’t pay it all now, that’s fine. Just sign this IOU. You have one month to pay. If you don’t, my client will file a lawsuit. I don’t think you’d want that.”

William got angrier as he listened. He thought, ‘If Audrey sues, everyone will know I can’t pay. Who will want to work with me then? But paying over 100 million dollars all at once is too much. Despite the Hernandez Group’s loud reputation, it’s not as strong now as it used to be. The Hernandez Group’s funds are tight. The recent projects drained all our money. If I knew this ungrateful daughter would do this, I would’ve left her in prison seven years ago! But now, he had no choice. William grimly signed the

IOU.

Seeing William and his family leave with their things, Audrey felt much better.

Bria

“Audrey, is this our home now?” Brian asked, his voice sweet and innocent.

“Yes, do you like it?” Audrey smiled.

“I like anywhere you are!” Brian said, his face looking so cute.

“Brian, don’t you like me too?” Suddenly, Simon’s voice came from beside them. The Simon at this moment had a smile on his face, a stark contrast to the cold and ruthless. Simon from before.

“Of course, I like you, godfather!” Brian ran to Simon, grinning. “But why are you here?”

Simon ruffled Brian’s hair, eyes full of affection. “Your godmother made me come. Let’s go, I’ll tak

you and your mom out to eat.”

Simon glanced at Audrey. “What do you say, Audrey? Will you join us?”

Audrey smiled, her eyes sparkling. “Since you invited, I’ll go. But this meal’s on me, as a thank you for your help today.”

Simon laughed. “Even if I didn’t help, you could handle it. These people are nothing.

Anyone could’ve dealt with them. I believe even without me, you can handle them on

your own.”

“That would take all the fun out of it!” Audrey glanced at Simon.

To William, especially Rebecca and Sarah, Audrey was a thorn in their side. Sarah always wanted to take what was Audrey’s. Today, Audrey showed Sarah how big their gap was. Rebecca and Sarah probably hated her even more now. The shame of being kicked out would forever haunt them, making it unforgettable. Audrey felt like she had finally gotten her revenge, and it felt satisfying.

“You’re as ruthless as ever!” Simon chuckled. He knew how scary Audrey could be, and was glad she wasn’t an enemy.

With Simon’s team handling things, Audrey felt at ease. She paid the bodyguards and left with Brian in Simon’s car.

Dylan soon heard about what happened with the Hernandez family.When he found out Audrey and Simon went out for dinner, Dylan got upset. His dark expression made Richard think he’d rush over and grab Audrey any second.

“Find out Simon’s relationship with her!” Dylan ordered.

Dylan had some interactions with Simon in Iadale City, so he wasn’t completely unfamiliar with him. Simon came from a prestigious background and held a high position, but he became Chritonia’s top lawyer and founded Starglow Law Firm. without relying on his family’s help. Since starting his company, he had never lost a

case.

But Simon was very mysterious; he rarely personally defended others. Usually, he assigned his staff to interact with clients. However, for reasons unknown, he suddenly came to Northville and became Audrey’s lawyer. Dylan thought there must be something special between Simon and Audrey.

Dylan’s eyes narrowed, his lips tight. He wanted to know what happened in those seven

years.

At 9 PM, a black car stopped in front of a hotel. Audrey, with Brian beside her, said goodbye to Simon in the car and then got out, smiling, clearly in a good mood.

In a dark corner, another black car was parked. Dylan watched Audrey’s smile with cold.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

eyes, his mood worsening.

Dylan ordered Richard coldly, “Crash into them!”

Richard thought he misheard at first. But Dylan repeated it, then Richard followed orders. The black car sped out of the shadows and crashed into Simon’s car. The collision made a loud noise, catching people’s attention.

As soon as the car hit, Audrey recognized Dylan’s car. Her expression changed. “Dylan, what are you doing?” she demanded coldly..

Inside the car, Dylan’s body was tense. Through the half–lowered window, he glared at Audrey with fierce eyes.
