Vengeful Hearts Return Novel by Susan Clyde

Audrey glanced casually at William, whose face had turned deadly pale, and she couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smirk.

“William, after all these years of stepping over the bodies of the Holland family to climb to the top, how comfortable is your position now? Too bad you weren’t ruthless enough to completely wipe out the Holland family. You left me behind,” Audrey said.

Audrey had long harbored suspicions, but the memories of the original host were clear yet strangely elusive when she tried to recall them critically.

Her investigation into William was initially just to check for any wrongdoing during his time at the Hernandez Group. If there were any issues, bringing William down would have been easy.

However, what she hadn’t expected was to uncover other interesting details. Yet, there wasn’t enough evidence to prove William’s involvement. Still, it was enough to intimidate him.

But seeing the look on William’s face now, Audrey didn’t need confirmation to know that her suspicions about William’s involvement in the deaths of the original host’s mother, and possibly even her father, were justified.

“You’re talking nonsense! You can’t just make baseless accusations,” William said angrily.

William regained his composure quickly after his initial panic and glared at Audrey with narrowed eyes.

If he hadn’t shown his panic earlier, Audrey might have thought William was innocent of any wrongdoing, at least concerning his late wife and father–in–law.

But William’s reaction spoke volumes.

Audrey’s smirk widened. “Whether it’s nonsense or not, you know the truth, William. You’d better hope I don’t find out more. Otherwise, I might not be so lenient with you.”

“Well, you truly are my darling daughter. I should have killed you when you were born!” William’s face twisted with anger and resentment as he spoke, his eyes burning with hatred.

“What a shame that would have been!” Audrey’s expression remained cold and composed, her smile faint but bold, provoking William even further.

William thought, ‘This bastard is becoming more and more like her despicable mother.’

He couldn’t stand either of them. Vivienne had always looked down on him with that haughty, contemptuous gaze, making him feel insignificant in her presence.

He had really had enough of such gazes, which made him feel insignificant in front of them.

Audrey could see the murderous intent flickering in William’s eyes.

Selfish and scheming, Audrey couldn’t understand why the original host’s mother would marry William after becoming pregnant with her.

But William’s ambition was evident.

A poor boy from the backwoods, beaten down by the harsh realities of the big city, suddenly got chosen by a wealthy heiress and leaped up the social ladder, only to start craving more.

However, William was ungrateful!

“If there are no issues, then sign here.” Audrey handed William a contract for the transfer of shares. “Once you sign this, we’ll resides you dele of 120 million dollars paid in full

Impossible! William slammed his hand on the table, his voice filled with fury.

He had realized by now that Audrey was here to cause trouble.

“Don’t be hasty. Take a look at this first, Audrey said.

Audrey presented not only the share transfer contract but also document detailing every action William had taken at the Hernandez Group since taking over.

Some of those actions had already led to legal issues.

The more William read, the sullener his expression became. Eventually, all he could do was sneer at Audrey.

William said. “Fine. You truly are my precious daughter.”

Audrey remained calm, her gaze cold and arrogant.

She knew William well enough to understand that, given the choice between prison and transferring all his choose the latter.

After all, if he transferred all his shares, he could still find an opportunity to make a comeback.

However, once he was imprisoned, the unknown risk would not be too high.

William was selfish and knew how to protect his own interests.

ares, he would

Under the imposing aura emanating from Audrey, William swiftly grabbed the pen from the table and signed the transfer of shares contract. His face turned gloomy, a mix of anger and resentment brewing deep within him.

In that moment, William harbored murderous intentions toward Audrey.

William cursed inwardly, “This monster was becoming more and more like her despicable mother. I couldn’t let her be alive.

Killing intent flashed across William’s vicious eyes.

However, Audrey ignored it, taking the signed contract and handing it to Ramiro behind her. Ramiro then said to the other board members in the room, “Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Audrey Hernandez now holds 66% of the shares in the Hernandez Group, making her the largest shareholder. Mr. William, it seems, will no longer be fit to serve as the Chairman of the Hernandez Group. From now on, Miss Audrey Hernandez will be in charge of all affairs concerning the Hernandez Group.”

As soon as Ramiro finished speaking, William immediately shouted angrily, “That’s impossible. How could she have 66% of the shares? Besides, I don’t agree. She’s not qualified to be the chairman of Hernandez Group!“.

However, William couldn’t believe that Audrey would suddenly have so many shares in her hands.

The distribution of shares in Hernandez Group had always been clear to him. How could Audrey suddenly have such a large portion of shares?

Besides the fifty–one percent stake, any change in the remaining fifteen percent of shares would have surely reached him.

“Mr. Hernandez, if you don’t believe it, it’s fine. The Starglow Law Firm handles things in a way that will make you fully convinced. If you need to litigate, you can try Starglow Law Firm. Since we’re acquaintances, we’ll even offer you a ninety percent discount!”

Ramiro looked at William, his face suddenly breaking into a warm smile. To those unaware, it might seem like Ramiro was simply drumming up business for the company.

With that, Ramiro opened several other share transfer contracts and handed them out for William and the other board members to review.

When William saw the name “Neptune Investment” at the bottom of the contracts, his expression changed drastically, and he turned to Audrey accusingly.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

William said, “So, it was you who prevented the banks from lending to the Hernandez Group! What is your relationship with Neptune Investment?”

“Take a guess,” Audrey said.

Audrey’s lips curled into a smirk as she looked at William.

“Neptune Investment has transferred 15% of its acquired shares to Audrey. Additionally, after Audrey becomes the CEO of the Hernandez Group, Neptune Investment will inject 400 million dollars into the Hernandez Group and jointly develop a new Al research project with them,” Ramiro said.
