Chapter 20
As soon as Audrey and Brian returned to the hotel, Simon called Audrey.
“How did it go? Dylan didn’t give you a hard time, did he?” Simon asked.
“You knew he would give me a hard time. Impressive!” Audrey said in an indifferent
voice.
Hearing the displeasure in Audrey’s voice, Simon couldn’t help but touch his nose. embarrassingly and clear his throat, saying, “just wanted to see the legendary cold- hearted, emotionless man going mad for love. Tsk. Tsk. Indeed, no matter how godlike, once touched by love, even the mighty needs to take a humble posture.”
“Alright, that’s not interesting.” Audrey said flatly, then hung up the phone.
She wasn’t sure if the original host’s feelings for Dylan still lingered in this body. After hanging up, Audrey felt inexplicably irritable and annoyed.
This uncontrollable feeling upset her, and she was quite resistant to it.
Fortunately, in the following days, Audrey was busy dealing with the house and had no time to think about anything else.
William and Rebecca had lived in the house for too many years, with many traces of their life inside. Audrey drew up a new design plan, intending to find someone to renovate it.
After reclaiming the house, Audrey’s next target was the Hernandez Group.
That was Damarion Holland’s life’s work, which William had taken after the original host’s mother died. Audrey naturally had to reclaim the Hernandez Group to retrieve everything that rightfully belonged to the original host.
Once the house matters were nearly settled, Audrey received a call from Aaron, inviting her and Brian to dinner at the Longman family.
Knowing Aaron wanted to consult her on some medical issues, Audrey agreed.
In the Longman family, Shawn rarely visited Aaron, but Aaron simply ignored and dismissed him.
Aaron said, “Over here, this window needs another wipe, and it would be best to place a potted plant here. And where’s my coffee set? Bring it out, and fetch my special edition

Aaron was excitedly directing the servants to tidy up the house, knowing his teacher would be coming for dinner the next day.
Seeing the busy scene left Shawn a bit puzzled.
Shawn thought, ‘What’s going on? Do they have some noble guests coming tomorrow?”
“Right, prepare more snacks and fruits too. Kids love to eat them,” Aaron said.
Shawn sneered inwardly, “Thinking even of snacks and fruits that kids like? This noble guest coming to the house must be bringing children along.”
After Aaron was almost done with the preparations, he finally noticed Shawn sitting on the sofa.
“What are you doing here?” Aaron asked.
Shawn was speechless. He had been sitting there for a long time, and his grandfather only now noticed him now.
“Who’s coming over tomorrow?” Shawn asked.
“None of your business. Get out of here. You’re an eyesore. Go deal with your own messy affairs,” Aaron said.
The Longman family had been in medicine for generations, yet Shawn, unlike his family, didn’t like medicine.
Not liking medicine was one thing, but Shawn went into the entertainment industry, even starting an entertainment company, which infuriated Aaron..
After Aaron went off to handle more preparations, Shawn found a housemaid to ask, “Who’s coming over tomorrow?”
The maid thought for a moment and said, “I heard it’s his teacher coming. That’s all we
know.”
