Chapter 1
The onlookers murmured, “So, she’s the top socialite in Northville. She’s stunning, but it’s a shame she’s a killer. After three years behind bars, her life is probably over.
“What’s the point of her beauty if she’s so ruthless? I heard Dylan Clifford, the heir of the Clifford family, put her behind bars himself. Everyone in Northville knows how much Audrey Hernandez was infatuated with him.
“Not only did her fiancé break up with her, but he also personally had her imprisoned. I heard the Hernandez family even disowned her. If I were her, I’d have given up. How can she still show her face to the world?”
In Northville Prison.
Sarah Hernandez gazed at Audrey, clad in prison attire, a smug expression crossing her face. “Audrey, it must be awful to be sent to prison by the man you love the most. I came here specifically to see you and share some good news. I’m getting engaged to Dylan.”
“Is that so? Congratulations,” Audrey replied, her face pale and indifferent as she cast a cold gaze at Sarah, her half–sister. When Dylan had personally placed the handcuffs on her, her heart had shattered.
“Audrey, you should understand that from now on, everything that was once yours – the title of the top socialite, being Mrs. Clifford, the status of Miss Hernandez – it all belongs to me.
“Perhaps you didn’t realize, but Dylan has always loved me. You were just a nuisance to him. Enjoy your time in prison.” Sarah laughed triumphantly, finally feeling victorious over the woman she had always envied.
“Sarah, tell him I no longer want him. He means nothing to me from now on,” Audrey replied coldly.
As Sarah left the prison, she made a phone call. “It’s me. Have her transferred to a men’s prison. Ensure she faces some hardship,” Sarah instructed coldly.
With that, a malicious smile crept onto her face as she thought wickedly, ‘Audrey, you’re going to wish you were dead in there.”

At Clifford Mansion

A tall, slender figure stood by the window, his eyes akin to twinkling stars, his brows stern, and his exquisitely handsome face exuding an air of indifference. His entire demeanor spoke of inherent nobility and authority. Merely by his presence, he exuded a commanding aura that sent shivers down others‘ spines.
After a long silence, Dylan’s icy voice echoed in the study. “What else did she say?”
Behind him, Sarah, adorned with delicate makeup, gazed affectionately at the noble and handsome man before her. “Audrey said she doesn’t want you anymore. She’s done with you,” Sarah stated, attempting to discern his reaction but finding his expression inscrutable.
Sarah bit her lip, feeling a mix of infatuation and frustration. ‘Without Audrey, this most noble man in Northville would be mine, she thought.
After a long pause, the cold, noble man spoke again. “Richard, throw her out. She is not to set foot in Clifford Mansion ever again.”
Sarah’s face turned pale as she looked at him in shock. “Dylan,” she uttered, her voice trembling with disbelief.
“Richard!” Dylan’s voice grew colder. The next moment, Richard Jackson, clad in black, escorted Sarah out.
“Get Dr. Freeman here,” Dylan commanded again.
“Yes, sir.”
Shortly after, a doctor arrived. “Mr. Clifford,” Dr. Freeman greeted respectfully.
“Do whatever it takes to restore my memory,” Dylan said firmly.
Seven years later.
“Audrey, wake up!” Brian Hernandez exclaimed.
