SWNOVELS Chapter 100
“I thought you weren’t coming, Ms. Hernandez. I didn’t expect you to really come.” Megan walked forward with a gentle smile on her face.
However, the words that came out of Megan’s mouth were meaningful.
After all, everyone knew Audrey used to be Dylan’s fiancée. Megan was also part of the Clifford family. They naturally knew each other long ago.
In addition, Audrey was personally sent to prison by Dylan because Audrey had almost killed Claire. Although Claire was rescued in time, Audrey still personally admitted to the crime and went to jail for three years.
They thought, ‘Why did Ms. Hernandez want to kill Mrs. Clifford back then? Why was she willing to admit her crimes and endure three years of jail time?‘ No one knew the reason. However, it was rather surprising Audrey came to attend the party today.
After all, the conflict between Audrey and the Clifford family was not trivial. Moreover, this party was personally organized by Claire.
“Mrs. Clifford sincerely invited me. Of course, I have to come. Otherwise, how can I satisfy her?” The corners of Audrey’s lips curled up slightly. There was a hint of arrogance on her exquisite face. Her gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Claire’s face.
They looked at each other, and a sharp glint flashed across their eyes.
Claire had to admit that Audrey was smarter than she was seven years ago. However, if she could destroy her seven years ago, she could still do it seven years later.
“Damn, my idol is so cool.” In the crowd, Cade stared at Audrey with admiration.
Ever since Cade found out Audrey was once the legendary Blizzard in the gaming circle, Cade felt that even if she farted, he would still find it pleasant. However, that seemed to be a little over the top.
Andrew looked at Cade and felt he was an idiot. He looked around and saw that Dylan had yet to arrive. He could not help but send a message to him. [You’re so useless.]

At the same time, Dylan had not intended to attend the party. He did not want to go to Clifford Mansion nor see Claire and Megan.
However, Dylan did not expect Audrey to agree to attend. Recalling the scene that happened seven years ago, Dylan’s mood sank. When he heard Audrey had gone to Clifford Mansion, he immediately rushed over.
Dylan did not reply to Andrew’s message. He only instructed Richard to drive faster.

At this moment, Claire had already walked toward Audrey. “Ms. Hernandez, of course, I welcome you. I invited many people today because I want everyone to be a witness.” Claire had a faint smile on her face. Then, she waved at Megan. “Megan, come here.”
“Mom.” Megan obediently walked to Claire’s side.
Claire took Megan’s hand and announced with a smile, “Megan was just a child I adopted, but I like her very much. Although she has always been a part of the Clifford family, she is not related to us after all. Thus, I plan to make an announcement today.” Claire glanced at Audrey and continued, “Since everyone is here, please bear witness. My son, Dylan, will be engaged

to Megan tonight.”
When Claire finished, the entire hall was filled with shocked voices. After all, there had never been any news of this before.
Many people had wanted to match their son with Megan.

With Sarah’s imprisonment, many socialites turned their attention to Dylan, wanting to marry the most prestigious man in Northville.
Unexpectedly, Claire immediately wanted to match Dylan with one of their own. ‘Didn’t that mean Megan was brought up to be Dylan’s wife?‘ they thought.
Everyone looked at Megan differently. They could not help but look at Audrey. After all, if Audrey had not been imprisoned seven years ago, she might have married the Clifford family’s heir. What was more, everyone knew how much Audrey liked Dylan back then. It had caused a sensation in Northville.
It would be natural for Audrey to feel disgusted when Claire announced Dylan and Megan’s marriage in front of her. Anyone would be in her shoes.
Audrey suddenly smiled. Her gaze remained cold and indifferent. Her face was expressionless. However, she looked at Claire more seriously. “Congratulations to all three of you.”
Before Audrey could finish, an exasperated voice came from outside the hall. “Audrey, how dare you.”
The cold voice that suddenly rang out shocked everyone in the hall. They turned to look at the door.
The man outside the hall was wearing a black shirt and black trousers. He had to have rushed over. His breathing was a little hurried. At this moment, his deep and dark eyes stared coldly at Audrey. His eyes were red and his lips were tightly pursed His handsome face was pale.
No one had expected Dylan to appear suddenly. They were stunned.
Audrey also looked up at Dylan who was outside the door. Just like that, they stared at each other not far away, neither giving
in.
After a long time, Dylan backed off and admitted defeat first. He quickly walked into the hall.
Dylan walked up to Audrey. He gently and lovingly held her hand tightly, not giving her any chance to pull away. The next second, he said in a gentle voice, “I won’t marry anyone. Other than you, I don’t want anyone else.”
Hearing Dylan’s words, everyone in the hall was stunned. They never expected Dylan to confess his love to Audrey in public.
Moreover, the rumors had always been that Audrey was deeply in love with Dylan. Now, it seemed the rumors were wrong. Dylan appeared to be the one deeply in love with Audrey. Even if Audrey was jailed and had an illegitimate child, he didn’t mind.
Everyone could not help but look at Claire and Megan’s faces. Their expressions were so dark that it was scary.
“Dylan, I will not allow you to marry this woman. Your future wife, the next matriarch of the Clifford family, cannot be someone who has been in jail,” Claire declared.
Dylan moved his gaze away from Audrey and looked at his mother coldly. Then, his thin lips curled up slightly as he said coldly and heartlessly, “Whether you agree or not, my wife will only be her.” Dylan looked deeply at Audrey, his deep eyes filled with gentleness.
Dylan looked back at Claire coldly and said, “Mom, you must be tired after being in charge of the Clifford family for years. You should enjoy retirem
