Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

Dylan almost dared not ask Brian how they had been doing these past few years.

At this moment, Andrew and

ers could clearly feel the sadness surrounding their

boss, though they couldn’t understand why.

The affectionate interaction between Dylan and Brian also caught the attention of many onlookers. They wondered, “Why is Dylan, the eldest son of the Clifford family, so close to Audrey’s child? Is it because he loved the mother, so he loved the child too? But doesn’t Dylan dislike Audrey? Otherwise, why would he have sent her to prison back then?‘ For a moment, everyone was puzzled.

Speaking of Audrey, people couldn’t help but be curious. No one had seen her so far, not even when her son was in trouble. They were also astonished that the Roscente family invited Audrey and her son to the party where they acknowledged a goddaughter.

At that moment, the lights of the entire hall suddenly went out. A spotlight appeared. In a dreamlike scene, a stunningly beautiful figure walked in. The woman wore a silver gown that shimmered brilliantly under the light, making her skin appear glowing. Ast she walked, the entire world seemed to fall silent.

The most striking feature was her face. She was almost indescribably beautiful. Even though her expression was cold, Audrey’s stunning beauty was undeniable. At this moment, she was undoubtedly the most beautiful and captivating presence in the

room.

Despite Audrey’s poor reputation in Northville, her queen–like entrance mesmerized many young men in the crowd. The former top socialite of Northville had not lost her charm. Even after seven years, she remained dazzling.

Seeing Audrey’s radiant presence made Sarah almost insane with jealousy. She couldn’t hide the hatred that burned in her eyes in the darkness. She thought, ‘Audrey, enjoy your moment of glory. Soon, you will be utterly disgraced.

Since Audrey appeared, Dylan’s gaze followed her. He always knew Audrey was beautiful, breathtakingly so. But at this moment, seeing her beauty coveted by all the outstanding men present, a strong possessiveness surged in him. He wanted to hide her so that no one else could see her beauty, for it was his to cherish.

The intensity in Dylan’s eyes seemed to ignite him. Feeling someone tug at his clothes, Dylan looked down at the child beside him.

“Too b

No matter how beautiful she is, she’s not yours.” Brian snorted coldly at Dylan. Then he turned and went to find Audrey.

Seeing Audrey dressed so splendidly, everyone already guessed the significance. But no one had expected that the goddaughter the Roscente family recognized would be once the top socialite of Northville, now the notorious woman, Audrey.

The Roscente family was one of the four major families in Northville. They had a status far above other wealthy families. Even though Audrey had a tainted reputation and an illegitimate child, her exceptional beauty and elegance still caught many people’s

attention.

Moreover, Audrey now had a new identity. She was the Roscente family’s daughter. The importance the Roscente family placed on this party indicated how cherished Audrey

Although the Roscente family was acknowledging a goddaughter, the grandeur and fanfare were akin to treating Audrey as their biological daughter.

Moreover, many socialites and wealthy ladies knew that the Roscente family was led by the main branch and that Phoebe, the matriarch, had only one son, Andrew. Many had already heard of Phoebe’s preference for daughters. The future status of Audrey in the Roscente family became even clearer.

After understanding this dynamic, many prominent families began to eye Audrey. Having Audrey as a daughter–in–law meant establishing a connection with the Roscente. family, and by extension, the other three major families. It was an advantageous alliance.

Samuel’s doting attitude shocked the guests, but Spencer’s announcement was an even bigger bombshell, instantly silenced the crowd.

As one of the four great families in Northville, the Roscente Group’s wealth, passed down through generations, was immense. It was once concluded that the assets of Roscente Group could not be calculated through material wealth.

William and Rebecca’s expressions had been sour since Audrey appeared. They never imagined that Audrey, whom they had cast out, would be pampered by the Roscente family like a princess. Hearing about the five percent shares made their faces turn even more ashen. A five percent share of the Roscente Group was enough to buy out the entire Hernandez Group.

Rebecca couldn’t believe that Vivienne’s daughter had such good fortune. She thought, ‘Is the Roscente family blind and deaf? Audrey is a notorious ex–con with an illegitimate child, yet they all adore her. My precious daughter is obviously better in every way, but no one appreciates her. It infuriated Rebecca.
