Chapter 88
Audrey had just come out of Northville Prison when she was intercepted by Rebecca.
Rebecca had originally come to see William but unexpectedly ran into Audrey. “Audrey, release Sarah!”
In just a short time, Rebecca had completely changed.
Her once elegant and well–groomed appearance now looked haggard, with wrinkles covering her face. Her clothes were wrinkled, and she no longer exuded her former grace and luxury
From William’s betrayal and imprisonment to Sarah’s incarceration and Audrey taking over the Hernandez Group, Rebecca was burdened with huge debts due to William’s series of serious criminal activities, which required substantial compensation.
Rebecca and William were still legally married, so the burden of the massive compensation fell on Rebecca’s shoulders.
During this period, Rebecca faced not only the daunting task of paying off the debts but also dealing with Sarah’s situation in prison. Trying to spend money to get her out seemed like an impossible task.
As soon as she saw Audrey, Rebecca viciously lunged at her. Audrey barely dodged, leaving Rebecca sprawling on the ground.
The fall caused excruciating pain in Rebecca’s leg bones.
Due to the previous rain, her clothes and pants were soaked, sticking to her body and making her look even more disheveled than before.
Even during her lowest times in the past, Rebecca had never been as disheveled as she was now.
“Why such a grand gesture?” Audrey sneered at the kneeling Rebecca, looking at her as if she were a lowly ant.
Rebecca’s face turned purple with rage. She tried to get up from the ground, but the pain in her leg made her collapse again, her face turning pale with agony.
Glaring fiercely at Audrey, she growled, “Audrey, release Sarah, or I won’t let you off!”
Audrey stepped forward, her expression indifferent and cold. In the next moment, she stepped on Rebecca’s shinbone, her eyes gleaming with a hint of bloodlust.
“Release Sarah? But what about you and your family? You never showed any mercy to me!” Audrey’s foot exerted considerable force, almost breaking Rebecca’s leg bone.
“Audrey, don’t you want to know where your mother is?” Rebecca stared at Audrey viciously.
She didn’t believe that Audrey didn’t want to know her mother’s whereabouts.
“I want to know. Will you tell me?” Audrey replied, and Rebecca’s expression flickered.
Audrey continued coldly, “Since it makes no difference whether I ask or not, why bother?
“Rebecca, this is just the beginning. Rest assured, you’re next!” Audrey leaned down, whispering in Rebecca’s ear before releasing her foot and leaving.
Rebecca shuddered at Audrey’s words, then glared in the direction Audrey had left, her eyes filled with murderous intent. When Rebecca limped back home, she found the mansion’s gate sealed with a tape.
The entrance was littered with a chaotic mess of items.
As Rebecca approached, she realized that the heap consisted mostly of clothes and personal belongings. Everything had been haphazardly thrown on the ground, mixed with rainwater, and was now filthy and disheveled.
“Who did this? Who did all this!” Rebecca, on the verge of collapse, rushed forward and frantically gathered the clothes mixed with rainwater from the ground, her eyes filled with a twisted madness.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Several of the dresses were high–end designer pieces, each costing at least a million dollars.
She never imagined they would one day be thrown on the ground like this.
The empty mansion gate remained silent. Rebecca, trembling all over, moved forward to tear off the seal on the gate, but her trembling hands failed to open it. In the end, she smashed the key on the ground in frustration, collapsing to the ground and breaking down in tears.
For so many years, she had never been as miserable as she was now.
With her daughter and husband in prison, burdened with huge debts, and with all her assets seized, Rebecca didn’t know where to go or what to do from now on.
Even basic survival had become a problem.
“Audrey, it’s all because of you. I won’t let you off!” Rebecca’s vicious voice echoed in the empty night sky.
The security shouted, “What are you shouting about? Take your things and leave!”
The security guard at the entrance rushed over and rudely ushered her away.
Rebecca looked at the security guard, who had always greeted her with a smile and respect in the past but was now impatiently driving her away.
She was shaking with anger, feeling like the guard might as well have stamped “Get out, you poor thing” on her forehead.
Dragging a pile of belongings out of the mansion complex, Rebecca suddenly realized it was late, and she had r and nowhere to go. Due to her debt problems, all her cards had been restricted from use, and she didn’t even for a night bus fare.
At that moment, a black car suddenly drove towards Rebecca. The car stopped, and two bodyguards in black suits got out. “Ms. Jafferson, please come with us. Our boss wants to see you!”
“Who are you?” Rebecca looked at the two men, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes as she stepped back and asked.
“You’ll find out when you meet our boss!” The bodyguards were not gentle with Rebecca and directly took her to the black car.
Rebecca struggled violently, but then she felt a sharp pain in her neck and lost consciousness.

In the VIP ward at Northville Hospital.
Since returning to the ward a few days ago, Dylan had become increasingly cold and silent.
Even Cade, who was usually talkative, spoke less, fearing he might worsen Dylan’s mood.
Fortunately, there were many things happening in the gaming company recently. The quarterly tournament was about to begin, and with some issues arising with the company’s new game, Cade was busy dealing with it.
Shawn’s situation was even worse. Since Elizabeth left Winter Entertainment to join Star International and was subsequently implicated in a series of scandals by Sarah, Winter Entertainment had to lie low.
Even though Winter Entertainment immediately issued a statement that they had long since terminated their contract with Sarah, it still couldn’t change the dire situation Winter Entertainment was facing.
Luckily, talented pianist Yasmin Harvey signed with Winter Entertainment, slightly improving its reputation.
Nevertheless, Winter Entertainment still faced considerable challenges.
