Sarah was convinced that the Roscente family would soon want her gone after seeing the photos and videos from that night..
“You’ll find out tomorrow,” Audrey said, getting into the car with Ramiro.
Though Rebecca didn’t want to believe Audrey had such influence, recent events since Audrey’s return made her worry.
“Sarah, do you think Audrey could really have that power?” Rebecca asked.
Sarah said, “Impossible, Mom. Audrey is just a lowly criminal. The Hernandez Group’s partners are prominent companies in Northville. How could they all follow Audrey’s command?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Sarah was confident that Audrey was nothing but a worthless figure in her eyes.
It was the Roscente family that was foolish to take Audrey in as a goddaughter, a position Sarah believed should have been hers.
Rebecca tried to calm her nerves but recent events had shaken her confidence.
Sarah said, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’m negotiating a lead role in a major movie. The investors are very pleased with me. Once I secure this role, no one in the entertainment industry will dare to challenge me.”
Sarah was determined to rise above the recent ridicule and establish her dominance in the industry.
As Audrey left the Hernandez family, she instructed Ramiro to draft a stock transfer
agreement.
“Ms. Hernandez, are you sure the Hernandez family will come to you for help?” Ramiro asked while drafting the agreement.
Although the Hernandez Group in Northville was not on par with some of the prominent families, it was still a force to be reckoned with. Despite experiencing a

decline in recent years, the Hernandez Group recently secured an investment worth 100 million dollars
“To prevent Hernandez Group from going bankrupt, William will come,” Audrey replied confidently.
She knew William too well. Tiernandez Group was his last hope, and he wouldn’t let it collapse, not wanting to return to the destitution of the past.
Ramiro, glancing at Audrey through the rearview mirror, couldn’t help but admire her strategic brilliance.
She had meticulously orchestrated everything to force William into a desperate corner, cutting off all his escape routes.
Holding the stock transfer document, Ramiro felt a chill down his spine, realizing how
dangerous it was to cross this formidable woman.
As they drove through the heavy rain, a black car was parked outside the Holland family.
Audrey glanced at it briefly before looking away.
Due to the rain and not having an umbrella, Audrey instructed Ramiro to drive into the yard.
As soon as the car drove in, Ramiro urgently hit the brakes.
Audrey frowned slightly, then followed Ramiro’s gaze forward.
In the pouring rain, a black figure knelt in the courtyard, with a pool of water already forming at his feet. His black suit and trousers were soaked through by the rain, but his back remained straight.
He looked desolate and lonely, exuding a sense of melancholy.
Hearing the sound of the car behind him, the kneeling figure slowly turned his face.
It was Dylan. His handsome and noble face was wet, rain dripping down from the bangs. on his forehead. His deep, dark eyes pierced through the rain and fell straight into the
car.
Even though the proud and aloof man was kneeling in the rain, looking disheveled and pitiful, he still exuded a strong and noble aura.
Those dark eyes were filled with deep emotions, meeting Audrey’s gaze.”
One knelt outside the car, with a gloomy and lonely face.
One sat inside the car, with a calm and indifferent face.
As their eyes met, Audrey pured her lips, staring at Dylan. Her gaze grew colder, but she felt an inexplicably shar and irritation.
The emotions were too intense for Audrey to suppress.
Dylan was the most esteemed young man of Northville, a ruthless and powerful figure, cold and strong, ruthless and noble. No one dared to provoke him.
Audrey provoked him and ended up in such a miserable state back then.
But she had never seen this strong and noble man kneeling humbly in the rain.
Ramiro, who was driving, was also shocked.
Ramiro had been startled by the person kneeling on the ground, which was why he urgently hit the brakes.
When that kneeling person turned his face, Ramiro was even more scared out of his wits.
As the top talent in Starglow Law Firm, Ramiro was naturally familiar with Dylan, the most esteemed man of Northville.
He had even heard many rumors about this big shot, but today’s scene was something he had never dared to imagine.
Fortunately, he hit the brakes in time. Otherwise, if he had really run into this big shot, he wouldn’t want to live anymore.
Thinking of it made Ramiro break out in a cold sweat..
“Ms. Hernandez, this…” Ramiro scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
“No need to drive over. I’ll have someone bring an umbrella,” Audrey said.
Audrey finished speaking and called Wendy. Soon, Wendy came over with an umbrella.
After handing the umbrella to Audrey, Wendy glanced at Dylan kneeling in the courtyard and said, “Not long after you left, Mr. Clifford came over and has been kneeling there ever since. He refuses to get up.”
“I see, Wendy. You can go back now,” Audrey said indifferently.

Seeing Audrey’s unpleasant expression, Wendy dared not say more.
“You can back. I’ll make another appointment with you later, Audrey said to Ramiro,
A go
opened the umbrella and got out of the car.
Ramiro didn’t dare stay here any onger. He didn’t even dare to look at Dylan and
hastily drove away.
Once Ramiro’s car left, Audrey stood there with the umbrella, her cold gaze looking at Dylan for a few seconds before she walked step by step toward him.
The rain was so heavy that Dylan couldn’t keep his eyes open.
But he didn’t dare close them, his deep eyes filled with too many emotions as he watched Audrey step by step approaching him.
He was afraid that in the next second, Audrey would disappear, just like she did seven.
years ago.
The distance between them shortened, and Audrey’s cold gaze moved away from Dylan. In the next second, her slender and cool figure passed by him.
