Chapter 127
Claire had just been hung up on by Dylan. She was trembling with anger.
Ever since the Clifford family’s banquet, Claire’s freedom had been restricted by Dylan’s people. She could not go anywhere except the old residence.
After more than a month, Claire was about to go crazy.
When she found out that Mike did not come home, she was even angrier.
After smashing everything in the house, she finally vented a little.
Claire broke out in a cold sweat after venting. She had just returned to her room to take a shower.
As soon as she pushed open the door, she was suddenly pulled in by a force.
The cold scalpel was like a poisonous snake, pressing against her neck, making her tremble in fear.
“Who’s in the room?” Claire asked shakily.
There was no light in the room. Claire stood facing the wall with her back facing the back. She had no idea who was holding a knife to her neck.
Then, a light chuckle sounded behind her with a hint of casual mockery.
“Mrs. Clifford, how have you been?”
Claire’s expression changed when she heard the mocking voice behind her. Her entire face was filled with hatred and viciousness.
“Audrey, it’s you. How did you get in?” Claire asked angrily.
“Of course I walked in!” Audrey chuckled and looked at Claire indifferently. Her gaze was cold, but there was a smile on her face.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Audrey, stop threatening me. Do you believe that I can send you to prison again, just like seven years ago?” Claire sneered, her voice filled with hatred.
“Claire, I cared about your son seven years ago, but I don’t care at all now. Do you think it’s faster for you to send me to prison or for me to use the knife in my hand?” Audrey suddenly chuckled.
The bloodthirsty coldness made Claire’s expression change.
She knew that Audrey was indeed different from before. She hated herself for not being able to kill Audrey in the men’s prison back then.
“What do you want?” Claire asked fiercely after a while.
Audrey held the cold scalpel and slid it around Claire’s neck bit by bit, scaring her so much that she froze on the spot.
“It’s nothing much. I just wanted to collect some interest. How boring would it be if I finished it all at once!” Audrey smirked. Audrey’s casual words made Claire’s expression worsen. With just a slight movement, Claire felt a sharp pain in her neck.
“Audrey, kill me if you dare!” Claire said fiercely with a dark expression.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die so early!” Audrey said.
As Audrey said that, she moved her finger, and another bloodstain appeared on Claire’s neck.
However, Audrey was the hand that held the scalpel. Her technique was exquisite. With just a slight movement of the scalpel, another wound appeared.
After a few cuts on Claire’s neck, Audrey moved the scalpel directly to Claire’s face.
“Audrey, how dare you! Dylan won’t let you off!” Claire screamed.
Claire was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she did not dare to move. She was afraid that the scalpel in Audrey’s hand would really pierce her heart.
“Then let him come. I want to see how he won’t let me off!” Audrey sneered with a hint of mockery on her face.
In the next second, she moved her finger and a trail of blood suddenly appeared on Claire’s face.
Claire was so frightened that she immediately screamed, “No, my face!”
“I’m really sorry. You scared me just now. My hand trembled, and I accidentally cut you!” Audrey said.
When the servant downstairs heard Claire’s terrified scream, she immediately went upstairs to knock on the door. After knocking for a long time, no one opened the door, and the door could not be opened. She could only rush downstairs to call Dylan.
Dylan thought that it was another call from Claire after seeing the Clifford Mansion’s phone call, so he did not pick up.
Ten minutes later, Richard rushed in.
“Mr. Clifford, something happened at the old residence. I heard that someone snuck into Ms. Hernandez’s room in the middle of the night!” Richard said.
Dylan’s gaze paused for a moment. “Have you found out who it is?”
Richard glanced at Dylan and said, “My subordinates at the old residence said that it seems to be Ms. Hernandez!”
When he heard Ms. Hernandez’s name, Dylan’s gaze froze for a moment. Then, he looked at Richard. “I’m sure it’s her!”
“It shouldn’t be wrong!” Richard nodded.
Dylan did not suspect anything. He got up from the bed almost immediately and went straight to the Clifford family’s old residence after leaving the hospital.
When Dylan arrived and asked his subordinates to knock open the door, he saw Audrey casually playing with a scalpel in Claire’s room. Claire no longer had her usual arrogance.
At this moment, Claire’s face and neck were covered in blood. It was a shocking sight.
Hearing the commotion at the door, Audrey raised her eyebrows and looked at Dylan with her cold black eyes.
Dylan did not expect such a scene inside. He frowned slightly and his deep black eyes landed on Audrey’s face.
“Dylan, call the police. Call the police and arrest her!” Claire shouted.
As soon as Claire saw Dylan, it was as if she had seen her savior.
Audrey looked at Dylan’s mocking and cold face and laughed casually.
That mocking sneer made Dylan’s heart ache. After a while, he looked at Audrey with a soft look.
“Does your hand feel sore after slashing her so many times? Do you want me to rub it for you?” Dylan asked.
Dylan’s words stunned the two people in the room. Even Richard, who was following behind Dylan, was stunned.
“Dylan, I’m your mother. How dare you defend this vicious woman? Do you still care about me?” Claire shrieked uncontrollably.
It was as if she could not believe that her biological son would actually side with another woman.
“Can you give me the scalpel first? I’m afraid you’ll hurt your hand!” Dylan ignored Claire completely and only spoke to Audrey.
At this moment, he only had Audrey in his eyes and heart.
No matter if he was heartless or cruel, from now on, he only wanted to
protect his baby.
As for Claire, she only had herself to blame!
Audrey looked up at Dylan indifferently. Then, the corners of her lips curled up and she sneered.
“Good, you’re indeed my good son. How did I give birth to a bastard like you back then? I should have killed you. I should have killed you directly. Why don’t you just die!” Claire screamed.
Audrey frowned slightly at Claire’s scolding.
On the other hand, Dylan seemed to be used to Claire’s scolding. He walked up to Audrey and carefully checked if she was injured.
He was relieved to see that she was as good as new.
