Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

“Miss Baxter, right? Just because you don’t have the ability to do it doesn’t mean that others can’t.” Jason walked forward and looked at Megan with disdain. His usually refined and gentle face had a faint mocking expression.

Everyone present was from Northville’s upper circle, so many people knew Jason. Especially during the last auction, when the general manager of Silvandel Auction House chased the Hernandez family out.

‘Wait a minute,‘ everyone thought. They looked at Jason, then at Audrey, and recalled Jason’s attitude toward Audrey at that time.

Many people who had witnessed that scene before could not help but have the same thought. ‘Damn. Could it be that Silvandel Auction House is also Audrey’s?‘

Just as this thought appeared in everyone’s mind, they saw Jason walking up to Audrey. There was a faint smile on his gentle and elegant face as he said, “Boss, don’t worry. From today onward, the Silvandel Auction House is close to the Clifford family.”

Jason thought, ‘Didn’t they look down on Boss? Didn’t they say that Boss is unworthy? Since that is the case, Silvandel Auction House would prohibit the Clifford family from entering

Hearing Jason’s words, everyone came to a realization. As expected, the secret boss of Silvandel Auction House was really Audrey.

After experiencing the shock from the previous few times, although everyone was still shocked this time, they had already gotten used to this a little. Star International’s boss, Neptune Investment’s boss, top trader Aud, Silvandel Auction House’s boss… They thought, ‘Is there anything Ms. Hernandez couldn’t do?‘

“Ms. Hernandez, you are indeed very impressiye.” Claire bit her lip and glared at Audrey.

The bastard Claire had once trampled on had suddenly gained so many identities. She hated every one of them. She thought, ‘Why? Why is that woman’s bastard so powerful? Why was that woman able to obtain his love?‘

Claire looked at Audrey, her dark eyes filled with hatred, thinking, ‘Why? Why could Vivienne give birth to that person’s child? Why couldn’t I?‘

The more stunning and outstanding Audrey was, the more disgusted and resentful Claire grew. Back then, Vivienne was also so talented that her name was well–known in Northville.

Claire thought, ‘But so what? In the end, Vivienne was still abandoned by that man. Even until her death, she probably thought that that man was dead. But why was she able to give birth to that person’s child? That person was high and mighty. He shouldn’t fall in love with anyone. Even if he fell in love, it should only be with me. How could he fall in love with Vivienne? Why is that so?‘

Whenever Claire looked at Audrey’s face, which was a combination of that man’s and Vivienne’s faces, she was out of her mind with jealousy.

“Mrs. Clifford, you’re not inferior either. All of this is thanks to your help back then.” Audrey’s Tips curled into a smile. Her smile was cold and indifferent. Her already beautiful face was now filled with arrogance.

Claire narrowed her eyes. Then, a smile appeared on her face. It did not reach her eyes and was bone–chilling. “I hope you can continue to impress everyone.”

Audrey could naturally hear the hatred in Claire’s tone. She curled her lips slightly and smiled radiantly. “Then, Mrs. Clifford, you’d better hide tracks well. Don’t let me find them.”

Audrey and Claire faced each other head–on for the first time.

Although Audrey still did not have any memories of the day of that accident seven years ago and did not know what exactly happened between them, it did not affect her judgment.

The bone–deep malice and hatred that Claire showed meant she would not let Audrey have an easy time.

Audrey did not care about Megan at all. She glanced at Megan indifferently and walked out of the hall.

Dylan hurriedly chased after Audrey.

“Dylan, don’t go.” When Megan saw that Dylan was about to leave, she hurriedly chased after him. She couldn’t let Dylan leave. She still had to get engaged to Dylan later. She thought, ‘How can Dylan leave? If he left, what would I do?‘

Megan didn’t get far before she was stopped by Dylan’s men. “Miss Baxter, please stop.”

Megan’s expression was ugly as she shouted angrily, “Get lost. I’m going to find Dylan.”

Dylan’s subordinates would not listen to Megan. They just stood in front of her coldly and blocked her way.

At the same time, Jason glanced at Danny and Rafe with a refined smile. “The weather is not bad today. Do you want to have supper and that?”

“That’s what I’m thinking.” Danny nodded.

“I know a good supper place. Let’s go.” Rafe smiled at them and turned to look for Elizabeth. “I’ll send you the address. You guys head there first. I’ll go find someone. See you there later.”

Jason and Danny left first.

When Rafe found Elizabeth, she was leaning lazily against the wall. When she saw Rafe looking for her, she raised her eyebrows and asked coolly, “Can we go now?”

“Yes. Do you want to have supper together?” Rafe knew Elizabeth was his boss’s friend. From the few times they had interacted, her identity did not seem simple.

“No, send me home. I’m tired.” Elizabeth yawned and left with Rafe.

It was not until the car drove out of Clifford Mansion that Yasmin found Shawn. When she saw Shawn standing in the dark, she could not help but be shocked. The expression on Shawn’s face flickered in the darkness, looking a little scary.

“Shawn, why are you here? I’ve been looking for you for a while. Are we going back?” Yasmin asked.

Shawn suddenly raised his head and looked at Yasmin. His eyes were dark and deep.

As the CEO of Winter Entertainment, Shawn had always done things his own way. He looked suave and flippant but was more clear–headed than anyone else. Everyone thought that he was with Elizabeth because he treated Elizabeth as Yasmin’s substitute.

Shawn thought, ‘What fucking substitute? How is Elizabeth similar to Yasmin? There is nothing similar about them at all.‘ He had once thought that he had feelings for Yasmin. After all, they had grown up together and he had cared for her more.

However, in reality, there was nothing between them. Even when Yasmin went overseas to study, Shawn remained indifferent and did not take it to heart. If she went, so be it. He didn’t care.

However, it was only recently that Shawn realized something was wrong. He was angry that Elizabeth had abandoned him after using him. She had dumped him just like that and said she did not want him anymore. She had even blacklisted him and cut all ties with him.

Shawn felt flustered and afraid. He wanted to see Elizabeth desperately. That sense of loss and panic was something he had never felt before, but now, he truly experienced it.

But Elizabeth came happily with another man and left with him with a smile.

Shawn used to think that Elizabeth was just a woman. If she left, so be it. Many women in the world liked him. Elizabeth was nothing.

But now, Shawn felt that everything was wrong and he was very upset.
