Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

They soon arrived at the Roscente family.

As one of the four major families in Northville, the Roscente family held a high status in Northville.

Besides, Phoebe was born into an intellectual family. Her father was a famous

calligrapher and painter, and her mother was a distinguished diplomat before retirement.

Although the Byrne family was not as wealthy as the Roscente family, it had significant influence in other areas.

The descendants of the Byrne family were scattered throughout Chritonia, with many holding prominent positions in politics, business, academia, and the arts.

Phoebe received a good education from an early age, exuding a gentle and scholarly temperament.

When Audrey arrived at the Roscente family, she expected to meet many people.

Unexpectedly, only Spencer, Phoebe, and Andrew were there.

Andrew was also surprised to see Audrey.

Audrey had declined the invitation when he called her earlier. He didn’t expect his mother to bring her back.

“Mr. Roscente.” Audrey greeted Spencer Roscente and nodded to Andrew.

Phoebe came over to Audrey and said softly, “Don’t call him Mr. Roscente. That’s too formal. Just call him Spencer.”

“Right, call me Spencer.” Spencer nodded in agreement.

“Spencer.” Audrey didn’t refuse and called out

Then Phoebe took Audrey to the living room and had refreshments brought out to entertain Audrey.

Andrew noticed Phoebe’s enthusiastic attitude, which seemed somewhat indulgent. And he was a bit surprised.

He remembered that Phoebe had never been particularly fond of Audrey before. Why did she seem like a different person now?

Andrew took a quick photo and sent it to Dylan’s phone.

Andrew: [Your beloved lady is at my house.]

Dylan quickly replied: [Got it.]

Since he had been protecting Audrey all along, he naturally knew that Audrey had gone to the Roscente family.

“Are

you coming?” Andrew looked at Audrey, who was chatting and laughing with his mother not far away.

Dylan: [No, once she’s done eating, let me know.]

Andrew: [Okay.]

After Phoebe chatted with Audrey for a while, Phoebe asked Andrew to keep Audrey company while she went to the kitchen.

The Koscente family had a housekeeper, but Phoebe liked Audrey and wanted to cook a couple of dishes for her in person.

As soon as Phoebe left, the spacious living room was left with only Audrey and Andrew The two were not very close. Andrew looked at Audrey, who always seemed indifferent, and said, “On the day you were imprisoned, Dylan, who had never been drunk before,

got

drunk. He stayed at the prison gate all night with red eyes, as if enduring great pain. The three of us took turns watching him until he drunkenly fell asleep before we could take him away. Since then, Dylan has suffered from headaches.”

Andrew spoke while observing Audrey’s expression. She seemed indifferent, as if she

didn’t care.

Andrew continued, “After that, Dylan came to the prison to visit you several times, but refused to see him each time. Later, he stopped going, just making sure you you taken care of. Dylan had been waiting for you to come out. Four years ago, Dylan went to pick you up, but you weren’t released. After that, there was no news from you.”

Andrew’s tone was calm, as if telling an intriguing story. However, beneath it lay a hidden concern for Dylan. His gaze at Audrey also softened slightly.

“Dylan also has a hard time all these years. If possible, why not give each other a chance?” Andrew said.

Audrey remained silent throughout, just listening to Andrew’s words. Her expression grew even colder.

“Are you done?” Audrey’s voice was cold and indifferent.

Andrew had considered all possible reactions Audrey might have to his words, but he didn’t expect her to just look at him with a cold expression and speak in a frigid tone.

Andrew didn’t know what else to say.

He felt that the current Audrey was too much like Dylan, cold and heartless, as if nothing could move her, not even the man she once deeply loved.

Audrey held her phone, feeling inexplicably restless and somewhat ironic.

While everyone was pitying Dylan, who had ever pitied Audrey?

What did it matter that Dylan got drunk outside the prison? He was the one who sent Audrey to hell. Visiting her countless times didn’t change anything. Audrey still endured beatings, insults, and abuse in the men’s prison.

Every day, Audrey’s ribs were broken, with new wounds adding to the old ones.

If she showed any weakness, she would face even more brutal treatment. She had to be tougher than them to protect herself, even if it meant being covered in bruises.

But even so, Audrey was beaten to death.

Finding someone to take care of her? Indeed, she was well taken care of. But when she was dead, who would care about Dylan’s affection?

Everyone thought that Audrey’s disgrace was her own doing.

Dylan remained like the privileged prince. If he wanted her, she should be grateful and continue to be with hi

But what about everything Audrey had been through? Who had truly pitied that poor girl?

At the age of eighteen, the most beautiful period of life, Audrey was sent to prison by Dylan, living a difficult life.

Dylan was not doing well, but neither was the former Audrey.

She wasn’t the former Audrey, so she could not give Dylan a chance to redeem his guilt.

She just hoped Dylan would stay away from her.

A voice interrupted Audrey’s thoughts.

“Mr. Andrew, Ms. Roscente has brought Ms. Hernandez over,” said the butler as he walked in and looked at Andrew.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

The Ms. Roscente referred to by the butler was Emely Roscente, Andrew’s cousin. As for Ms. Hernandez, she was Sarah, and the two were best friends.

Andrew immediately understood what the butler meant.

Regardless of the reason, Audrey was the Roscente family’s benefactor. Moreover, she was invited by his mother, so they couldn’t afford to be negligent.

Audrey’s relationship with the Hernandez family wasn’t a secret in Northville. Emely bringing Sarah over might upset Audrey.

Andrew promptly said, “Dominik, tell Emely that we have guests today, so she should come another day.”

Andrew didn’t have deep feelings for Emely, nor was he particularly fond of her.

But as soon as Andrew spoke, Emely’s voice came from the door. “Andrew, how could

drive me away? I’ll tell Phoebe.”

As she spoke, Emely had already brought Sarah inside.

Upon entering, they saw Andrew and Audrey inside the living room.

The expressions on Emely’s and Sarah’s faces changed immediately.

Emely, who had never liked Audrey, said displeasedly, “Audrey, what are you doing here?”

Sarah didn’t expect to see Audrey at the Roscente family. She bit her lips, and her pretty face became somewhat gloomy.

“Why can’t I be here?” Audrey glanced at her calmly.

“This is not a place for you to come. Are you failing to cling to Mr. Clifford and now turning your attention to my brother? Let me tell you, a woman like you isn’t worthy of him

at all.”

Emely looked at Audrey with disdain.

Emely thought, ‘Audrey has been to prison, yet she still dared to imagine marrying into the Roscente family. What a joke.
