Chapter 18
Simon turned to his team and said, “Show Mr. Hernandez the list.”
Audrey nodded. She trusted Simon’s team to handle it.
One of the lawyers handed the list to William. “Mr. Hernandez, please. If everything is correct, we need you to sign and pay the amount to my client.”
William’s face darkened. “I don’t have that much money.”
The lawyer smiled and pulled out another document. “If you can’t pay it all now, that’s fine. Just sign this IOU. You have one month to pay. If you don’t, my client will file a lawsuit. I don’t think you’d want that.”
William got angrier as he listened. He thought, ‘If Audrey sues, everyone will know I can’t pay. Who will want to work with me then? But paying over 100 million dollars all at once is too much. Despite the Hernandez Group’s loud reputation, it’s not as strong now as it used to be. The Hernandez Group’s funds are tight. The recent projects drained all our money. If I knew this ungrateful daughter would do this, I would’ve left her in prison seven years ago! But now, he had no choice. William grimly signed the
IOU.
Seeing William and his family leave with their things, Audrey felt much better.

“Audrey, is this our home now?” Brian asked, his voice sweet and innocent.
“Yes, do you like it?” Audrey smiled.
“I like anywhere you are!” Brian said, his face looking so cute.
“Brian, don’t you like me too?” Suddenly, Simon’s voice came from beside them. The Simon at this moment had a smile on his face, a stark contrast to the cold and ruthless. Simon from before.
“Of course, I like you, godfather!” Brian ran to Simon, grinning. “But why are you here?”
Simon ruffled Brian’s hair, eyes full of affection. “Your godmother made me come. Let’s go, I’ll tak
you and your mom out to eat.”
Simon glanced at Audrey. “What do you say, Audrey? Will you join us?”
Audrey smiled, her eyes sparkling. “Since you invited, I’ll go. But this meal’s on me, as a thank you for your help today.”
Simon laughed. “Even if I didn’t help, you could handle it. These people are nothing.
