Chapter 12
As Claire heard that Dylan was with Audrey, her face darkened immediately. She angrily said, “What, he’s still with Audrey?”
Secing Claire angry, Sarah, despite her tear–streaked face, quickly tried to calm her down. “Mrs. Clifford, don’t blame Dylan. You know my sister always liked Dylan, so it’s normal for her to go after him once she got out of prison.”
Sarah placed all the blame on Audrey. After all, Claire already hated Audrey. Years ago, Audrey had nearly killed Claire. Although Sarah didn’t know the details, she knew Claire despised Audrey.
As Claire heard these words, her expression grew even more displeased. “That Audrey is truly shameless!”
“Mrs. Clifford, don’t be angry. This is our fault; we should have taught Audrey to know better. Don’t worry, I’ll go home right now and teach her some manners!” William said furiously. Yesterday, Audrey had embarrassed him outside Silvandel Auction House, and now this. He was beyond angry with Audrey.
“This isn’t your fault. It’s all because Audrey is too shameless. It has nothing to do with you!” Claire said coldly. “Rest assured, I only recognize Sarah as my daughter–in–law. I won’t allow anyone else to marry Dylan!”
Hearing this, the three of them were very pleased, though they didn’t show it on their faces.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure Dylan handles this properly,” Claire added.
Now Sarah felt reassured. Just as she expected, Claire’s dislike for Audrey had only intensified upon learning she was with Dylan.
As soon as Sarah and her parents left the Clifford family mansion, Claire immediately called Dylan. Her voice was icy as she questioned, “Dylan, are you with Audrey?”
“Who told you that?” Dylan asked coolly. He glanced at Audrey, who was eating across from him, his expression unreadable.
“Never mind who told me, I won’t agree to you being with that woman!” shouted Claire.
“Whether you agree or not is none of my concern!” Dylan’s voice was icy and domineering. Even though he was talking to his own mother, he remained emotionless.
“I advise you not to cause her trouble, or you won’t be able to handle the consequences!”

As soon as Dylan ended the call, Audrey’s phone rang. Somehow, William had found her number. The moment she answered, she heard William’s furious voice. “Audrey, get back to our house right now!”
The angry shouting made Audrey frown slightly, so she held the phone a bit farther from her car before replying coldly, “Don’t worry, I’ll go back there, but not now.”
“You brat, are you deliberately trying to disgrace the Hernandez family and Sarah? Smearing Sarah online so everyone can mock her? If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled you when you were a baby!” William roared.
Audrey let out a derisive laugh. “Too bad for you. I’m still very much alive.”
“Audrey, apologize to Sarah online right now and admit you seduced Mr. Clifford, or you’re in for a world of hurt!” William shouted, desperate to restore Sarah’s reputation.
“Why should I apologize to Sarah? The worse she has it, the happier I am,” Audrey retorted coldly.
“If you don’t apologize, don’t blame me for what happens next!” William’s voice grew even angrier.
Perhaps the old Audrey might have been scared, but not now. Putting away her phone, she turned to Brian, who was eating beside her. “Are you full?”
