Chapter 87
“Where are Callum and Wendy?” Audrey asked coldly, masking the emotions in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, those two are in their rooms, taking a nap,” the man said.
Teagan Diaz looked at the lady in front of him, feeling that she wasn’t as cute as she used to be when she was little.
Back then, Audrey was just a cute and cold baby girl, yet, she was irresistibly adorable.
Knowing that Callum and Wendy were safe, Audrey relaxed slightly and cast a cold glance over the man before asking again, “Were you the one who saved me that day?”
“Just passing by,” Teagan replied casually, glancing at Audrey before adding, “Your vigilance is too low!”
Audrey’s doubts deepened a bit upon hearing his admission. “Have we met before?”
“I can’t answer that question. You’ll know in due time,” Teagan replied cryptically before checking the time. “It’s getting late. I should go.”
With that, Teagan handed Audrey a black jade stone.
It was small, about the size of her palm, with a translucent texture and exquisite carvings on it. Judging from her knowledge of jade from her past life, this piece should be considered a rare item.
“This belonged to your mother. Keep it safe. It might save your life when necessary,” Teagan said before disappearing into
the house.
As Teagan vanished, Wendy came out of her bedroom downstairs, still feeling puzzled.
Wendy murmured, “It’s strange. I was in the kitchen just now, and suddenly I found myself asleep in bed!”
Just as she was wondering, Wendy noticed Audrey standing at the door.
“Ms. Hernandez, you’re back. I’ll start cooking dinner,” Wendy said.
“No need to cook for me,” Audrey replied before heading upstairs with the black jade in hand.
Back in her room, Audrey examined the black jade stone closely
Upon closer inspection, she noticed finely carved markings of an eagle on its surface.
The eagle soared majestically, its sharp eyes and talons exuding a kingly aura.
Audrey suddenly seemed to remember something. She quickly flipped the jade over, then turned on a floor lamp and placed the jade under the light, examining it closely.
Indeed, on the back of the jade, there was a faintly carved character surrounded by a circle. The engraving of the character was extremely shallow. Without careful observation under the light, it would have been barely visible.
Blazefury Token!‘ Audrey’s mind quickly recalled.
She remembered Paxton mentioning this Blazefury Token before. It was said to be a token capable of commanding the entire underground alliance,
However, the Blazefury Token had disappeared over a decade ago, causing various underground forces to vie for it. Whether the legends were true or if the Blazefury Token could truly command the underground power remained

uncertain.
What puzzled Audrey was how her nominal mother, Vivienne, came to possess the Blazefury Token.

Vivienne had been gone for over a decade, so Audrey realized her mother was far more complicated than she appeared.
Who was the man from earlier?

As soon as William saw Audrey sitting there, his face darkened, and he glared at her angrily. “You wretch, what are you doing here?”
William’s expression turned dark, and he said with hatred, “Vivienne, that wench, treated me like a joke, like I was just a stand–in. She cheated on me with other men and brought another man’s bastard to marry me. Vivienne was nothing but a shameless, disloyal slut!”
“You didn’t leave me alive because of some familial affection. You knew that my veins carried the blood of th
family, and I was the rightful heir to the Holland Group. So you had to keep me alive to use me as your tool and pawn. After successfully transforming the Holland Group into the Hernandez Group, you used your other daughter, Sarah, to send me to prison and sever our relationship!
“Only this way can you avoid being criticized. The Holland Group won’t accept a woman who has served time in prison to take control, and the shareholders wouldn’t agree either. This way, your position becomes more legitimate.”
