Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

Richard stepped forward and lifted Sarah from the ground, causing her to scream in fear.

Suddenly, she shouted at Audrey, her gaze full of hatred directed at Dylan.

Since they wouldn’t let her live peacefully, she would make everyone suffer.

“Audrey, it’s all Mrs. Clifford’s doing! She made me do this! You can’t throw me in there. I’ll die, I’ll really die! It’s her. She’s the one who wants you dead!” Sarah pleaded desperately.

Sarah shouted, “Audrey, even if I die, do you think you can marry into the Clifford family? Impossible! Mrs. Clifford would rather see you dead than let you in! Audrey, save me, please, save me!”

Despite Sarah’s struggles and madness, no one spoke up. Richard carried her out of the farmhouse.

It wasn’t until the surroundings fell silent that Dylan looked at Audrey, feeling somewhat at a loss.

He had heard Sarah’s words, his gaze filled with fear and panic as he stared at Audrey.

He was afraid she would leave in the next moment.

And indeed, Audrey, carrying Brian, was about to leave as if Dylan were invisible.

“Babe, don’t leave,” Dylan pleaded.

Dylan’s voice was deep, laden with obscurity and hoarseness, full of pleading. He reached out as if to grab Audrey, but hesitated, fearing to incur her displeasure.

However, he was afraid of arousing Audrey’s disgust, so he let go

“Dylan, I’m angry right now. It’s best you don’t talk to me,” Audrey said coldly, her gaze icy as she looked at the tall man, his, arms stiff at his sides, veins bulging on the back of his hands.

It must have taken immense willpower to stand here, holding back whatever he felt.

Audrey didn’t want to dwell on any of this. But she was indeed furious, especially after learning that Sarah had taken Brian. Even though this kidnapping had nothing to do with Dylan, Audrey’s anger was redirected.

Dylan stood there, at a loss, his crimson eyes filled with fear and unease as he watched Audrey, waiting for her judgment.

Audrey said, “Dylan, no matter how you feel about your mother, it’s best she doesn’t give me any reason to investigate!” Audrey stood there coldly, her entire being exuding hostility.

–

Dylan moved his lips, trying to say something, his gaze almost greedy as he looked at Audrey.

“Ever since she forcibly erased and altered my memories, since the moment she schemed to kill you, my last bit of maternal affection for her died. Moreover, she never treated me as her son!” He was nothing but a tool for Claire’s revenge.

Dylan looked at Audrey almost indulgently. “Whatever you want to do, I’m on your side. I’ll do anything for you, even if it means being scorned by everyone!”

“Dylan, have you ever wondered why I never let you find me all these years, even during those three years in prison when I never gave you any news?” Audrey narrowed her eyes, suddenly asking.

Dylan’s voice was hoarse, his gaze obscured as he nodded. “I didn’t know then, but I know now.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Audrey said, “Look, to cut off all ties with you, I blocked all news. Even during those three years in prison, even though I knew that sending the old Audrey to prison was just a temporary measure in your eyes, the old Audrey knew everything. But you never thought that your mother and Sarah would hate her so much that they threw her into a men’s prison!

“Once, you were on top of the world, thinking you had everything under control, that you could easily release her from prison. In your eyes, it was just a procedure, but you never thought that the moment you personally put handcuffs on her, Audrey’s heart died. There were so many ways, yet you deliberately chose the most humiliating scene for her.

“She couldn’t stand any flaws in her eyes. She loved you too much and exerted all her strength, but she got tired. Whether she really wanted to kill your mother or not, it no longer matters. You were too confident, but you didn’t expect Audrey to admit to this crime herself and never see you again!

“So, even though you did everything you could to find her, you failed in the end. I have no otherues, just a grudge!”

Audrey’s gaze was cold and indifferent, even a little ruthless.”

Audrey’s gaze was cold and indifferent, with a hint of aloofness.

She continued, “The old Audrey hated you, but I don’t hate you, because hate comes from love. But I’ve never loved you. Whether I’m the real Audrey or not doesn’t matter. No one is obligated to wait for you to come back.”

Dylan said, “I know. It’s fine. Even if you don’t want to love me anymore, it’s fine. I’ll always be waiting for you. As long as you turn back to look at me, I’ll be there.”

Dylan looked at Audrey, his eyes reddening, his voice hoarse and obscure.

He felt a premonition that once Audrey clarified everything, she would truly leave him.

He had already paid for his past arrogance. If it weren’t clarified, he could still delude himself. But once everything was clarified…

Dylan felt utterly embarrassed.

Everyone thought he had sent the woman who loved him deeply to prison for his mother. He thought she would understand.

In his eyes, it was the fastest way to resolve the entire situation. He had plenty of ways to exonerate Audrey and free her from that prison. After all, Claire hadn’t died.

But he still disappointed her, so she unilaterally severed all ties with him and confessed her crimes.

Audrey’s words were suffocating him.

Even without memories of their past love, that beautiful woman was like a beam of light illuminating his cold and dark world in an instant.

It wouldn’t be difficult to fall in love with her again.

It was at that moment that he realized just how much Dylan loved Audrey.

But he still disappointed her.

“Please, don’t leave me.” Dylan looked at Audrey almost imploringly, his entire body drained of strength with that sentence, like a prisoner awaiting a death sentence.

Audrey turned her gaze away, her eyes stinging, and she felt a stifling sensation. The sourness made her somewhat irritable and inexplicably sad.

The pain in her heart throbbed, growing stronger and stronger until finally, she reminded herself that she wasn’t Audrey. Yet, the emotions, so intense that they seemed to burst forth, continued to tug at her, as if she were still herself, unchanged.
