Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

Audrey introduced, “Brian, this is Wendy and Callum Sands.”

“Nice to meet you.” Brian looked at the two people in front of him sweetly and said proudly, “Everyone says I look like Mommy.”

The more Wendy looked at Brian, the more she liked him, especially his sweet and clever demeanor, which made her both fond and protective. “I’ll make some food for you, okay? Your mother used to love the food I made for her when she was little.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“That’s great.” Brian nodded happily, eager to eat the same food his mother loved as a child. However, he thought it was a pity that Lucas couldn’t taste it too.

After lunch, Audrey received a call from Phoebe, who was coming in the afternoon to take her to pick out a gown. Phoebe had originally sought a top designer abroad to create a custom gown for Audrey.

Since Phoebe had acknowledged Audrey as her goddaughter, she wanted her to appear as beautifully and perfectly as possible. She hoped Audrey would captivate all the young men in Northville.

However, the time was too tight, and Audrey showed little interest in the matter, so Phoebe had to take charge. She had waited for decades to have a beautiful and obedient daughter, to buy her pretty dresses and lovely jewelry. This dream was finally coming

true.

After picking up Audrey, Phoebe took her to a luxury gown shop named “Wellington” in the financial center.

Audrey glanced at the brand, raised an eyebrow, and followed Phoebe inside.

“Audrey, girls should dress themselves up beautifully. I will pick some clothes for you today because you don’t have enough.” Phoebe held Audrey’s hand, eager to dress her up like a princess.

Although Audrey didn’t particularly enjoy shopping, she didn’t want to dampen Phoebe’s spirits and obediently sat by while Phoebe picked out clothes.

“Mrs. Roscente, are you selecting clothes for this young lady? We have some new arrivals that you might like.” The saleswoman was quick–witted and immediately handed Phoebe a booklet of the latest collections.

Phoebe happily took the booklet and boasted “Yes, this is my daughter. I’ll give you an address, and you can deliver the new arrivals to my home.”

“Of course, ma’am.” The saleswoman nodded respectfully.

“Godmother, I have plenty of clothes, there’s no need to waste money,” Audrey said. She indeed had many clothes. While she rarely bought them herself, people frequently sent her new ones, particularly those that weren’t available on the market.

“No way. No woman ever complains about having too many clothes. I’ll buy you some more jewelry later too.” Phoebe held Audrey’s hand with gentle affection.

Be it in the past or now, Audrey had never felt a mother’s love. Being pampered by Phoebe, she felt a slight warmth in her heart.

“I’ll take this, this, and this.” Phoebe pointed to several gowns in the booklet.

Wellington was known for its luxurious gowns. They were often chosen by celebrities for formal events. Each gown was unique and exquisite, contributing to Wellington’s prestigious and high–end reputation.

When the saleswoman brought out the gowns, Phoebe urged Audrey to try them on. Audrey reluctantly got up.

Shortly, the dressing room door opened, and Audrey emerged in a dazzling silver gown. Her naturally glowing skin shone even brighter under the lights, making her look radiant. Her delicate features were further illuminated, making her look almost ethereal.

Phoebe was mesmerized at first sight.

“This gown looks stunning on her. It makes her look like a fairy.” Even the saleswoman was taken aback. She had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Despite serving many celebrities, none came close to Audrey’s beauty.

“Try these two next.” Phoebe was both excited and delighted, wanting to shower her daughter with the best of everything.

Audrey tried on several gowns, each one more dazzling than the last. Phoebe, thrilled, decided to buy them all..

After selecting the gowns, Phoebe picked out a few casual outfits and then dragged Audrey to buy more jewelry. For the first time, Audrey found shopping exhausting. Yet, seeing Phoebe’s joy and satisfaction, Audrey couldn’t help but indulge her.

By the end, Phoebe affectionately referred to Audrey as “Auddie” instead of “Audrey,”

The day only ended after they had dinner together. Phoebe dropped Audrey back at her home.

Three days later, the Roscente family’s party arrived. This was the first time they had held such a grand event. The family had gone all out, inviting almost all the elite families of Northville. The back garden was magnificently decorated, reflecting the importance of the occasion.

This grandeur piqued the curiosity of many attendees, eager to see the young lady who had earned such favor from Phoebe.

The Hernandez family, though not a top–tier family, held a certain status in Northville and naturally received an invitation too.

Phoebe had personally arranged to send them the invitation to ensure Audrey would shine in front of them. She wanted them to know the daughter they had neglected was now treasured by her. She also wanted them to see how remarkable Audrey was.

From now on, it wasn’t the Hernandez family who didn’t want Audrey but Audrey who couldn’t be bothered with the Hernandez family.

Since Sarah signed with Winter Entertainment, she had been laying low. She had also been waiting for this day. After today, she would see to it that Audrey met her downfall,

Sarah wouldn’t miss such a big event. She wanted to see Audrey embarrass herself before all of Northville.

Sarah got out of the car with her parents, a sinister glint in her eyes.

“Sarah, aren’t you close with the daughter of the Roscente family? Do you know who Mrs. Roscente’s new goddaughter is?” Rebecca asked. She eyed the luxurious manor with envy, recalling the unpleasant memory of being driven out of the Hernandez family’s home by Audrey.

“Mom, you’ll find out soon,” Sarah replied, keeping the secret for a grand reveal.

Rebecca detested Audrey. If it hadn’t been for Audrey’s mother occupying the position of William’s wife for so long she wouldn’t have been a mistress, and Sarah wouldn’t have been illegitimate.
