Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

“No, I do want to go! Dylan, you heartless bastard! You can’t do this to me! I curse you to never get what you love!” Sarah was forced to step back, the lead kidnapper already grabbing her by the neck and slapping her face several times.

Men had strength, and these thugs Sarah had hired were especially brutish and used to violence.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Those slaps were anything but restrained. They were delivered with full force, causing Sarah’s head to jerk to the side.

Both sides of her cheeks were swollen and red, with even the corners of her mouth battered and bleeding. Blood trickled down from the corners of her mouth.

Her face looked horrifying, and if she hadn’t been held by the neck and beaten, she would have been sent flying by the force of the blows.

Sarah’s face was numb with pain, her ears ringing, and she was unable to hear anything else.

The other two kidnappers joined in, dragging her to the ground and raining blows upon her.

Sarah couldn’t bear the beating, screaming in agony as she curled up on the ground, unable to move.

The lead kidnapper kicked Sarah’s stomach hard, causing her to groan and tremble.

“Playing dead, huh? You dare pretend to be dead!” With that, he kicked her twice more.

Dylan kept Brian’s eyes covered the entire time, soothing him gently. “Brian, don’t look. It’s not nice.”

By the time Audrey arrived, Sarah was lying motionless on the ground, beaten.

Audrey’s icy gaze swept over the ground, finally landing on Brian, who was being cradled by Dylan.

When Brian saw Audrey coming, his eyes lit up, and he ran to her, snuggling into her embrace. “Audrey, I thought I’d never see you again. They hit me!”

As soon as Brian threw himself into his mommy’s arms, he began whimpering and rubbing against her.

Audrey’s aura was terrifying, and she must be angry.

Audrey’s cold gaze softened slightly, but the next moment, her demeanor turned icy again. “Who hit you?”

“That bad woman did it, but Mr. Clifford already taught her a lesson for me!” Brian was afraid Audrey would be sad, so he comforted her and added, “I’m not hurt at all, Audrey. Don’t be sad.”

Audrey pursed her lips, her cold gaze fixed on Sarah, who was curled up on the ground, trembling in fear.

With a cold smirk, Audrey walked towards Sarah step by step,

Sarah, still dazed, heard Audrey’s voice and struggled to open her eyes. She was numb from the beating and her face was swollen, and she couldn’t say a word.

But as soon as she saw Audrey, the anger in Sarah’s heart surged uncontrollably. Her eyes, a fiery crimson, were filled with madness and a sinister glare.

Sarah tried to speak, but she realized her entire face was numb and painful, making it impossible for her to utter a single word.

All she could do was glare fiercely at Audrey with malice, Audrey was not polite at all, directly breaking Sarah’s hands. Her gaze was cold and ruthless as she looked at Sarah, saying, “Didn’t I warn you not to mess with me?”

There was a hint of hostility in Audrey’s eyes, her presence imposing and arrogant.

Sarah’s face contorted in pain, sweat pouring down her forehead, her broken hands hanging limply, unable to move.

“Why? Aren’t you quite capable? You think that you’re the heiress of the Hernandez family and that everything I have belongs to you, right? Sarah, didn’t your mother tell you that you’re not William’s biological daughter at all?”

Audrey’s cold and merciless voice sent a shiver down Sarah’s spine, and then Sarah shook her head desperately.

She didn’t believe Audrey’s words at all.

“How does it feel to taste living hell?” Audrey suddenly took out a military dagger from her pocket, gleaming with a cold light.

Audrey approached Sarah’s face, her voice was as cold as a demon’s whispering in her ear.

The fear Sarah felt was overwhelming, and she trembled violently.

Especially when her face was pressed against the dagger, she felt even more terrified.

Sarah trembled violently, her gaze filled with terror, so scared that she had lost her voice.

“Don’t worry, I won’t take your life. But since you slapped my son a few times, I’ll make a few cuts on your face. Fair deal,” Audrey said.

Sarah trembled in fear.

Audrey applied a little force with the dagger, and a sharp pain spread across Sarah’s swollen face, causing her to cry out in fear.

“No…”

Even though her entire face was already numb and swollen from the beating, the sharp, piercing pain that followed made Sarah cry out in fear.

Audrey moved to the other side of her face and made another cut, blood flowing down her cheek.

At that moment, Sarah truly felt despair and fear from the depths of her heart. The icy blade pressed against her skin, and the piercing pain was magnified with each passing moment.

Thinking that her face would be completely ruined, Sarah almost passed out from fear.

But Audrey didn’t give her the chance to faint. In the moment she was about to lose consciousness, another cut was made on her face.

The sharp pain was so clear that she couldn’t have been more awake.

Audrey stood up satisfied, her gaze cold as she looked at Sarah like she was looking at a tiny ant.

Throughout, Dylan and Brian stood quietly on the sidelines, watching Audrey deal with Sarah. Even seeing Sarah’s miserable state, there was no trace of pity in their eyes.

“Richard, take her to the men’s prison!” Dylan ordered coldly once Audrey was done, not wanting this woman to continue bothering Brian and Audrey.

“No, Audrey, don’t you want to know why I was able to send you to prison so easily and why someone wants to ruin your
