question drew the attention of everyone outside the room to Dylan.

Dylan’s cold eyes swept over 11

his emotions completely hidden. “Any objections?”

“No. Just trying to get used to the fact.”

de shook his head. Of course, he was not used to this. They were all single, and suddenly one of them was a father. It took them by surprise.

They had often speculated about who the father of Audrey’s child was. Brian looked exactly like Audrey, so there was no doubt he was her biological son. Now, they realized Brian was Audrey and Dylan’s child. Considering Brian’s age, everyone realized that he was conceived before Audrey went to prison.

This realization changed their perception of Dylan.

Before Audrey went to prison, she was young, Dylan’s actions seemed despicable, almost beastly. He had not only slept with her but also sent her to prison after that. Anyone in Audrey’s place would harbor lifelong resentment.

Suddenly, they felt a pang of sympathy for Audrey. The photos and videos of her in the men’s prison that were shown earlier made them feel even sorrier for her. They began to think that Dylan deserved the torment he was going through. If they were Audrey, they would have killed Dylan long ago.

Dylan stood guard outside the room, not leaving for a moment. Unable to smoke, hist dark eyes were filled with complex and painful emotions.

Seeing Dylan like this, the others refrained from saying anything.

Midway through, Richard called. “Boss, we found the person who released the photos and videos. It was Emely Roscente.”

Emely was never particularly smart. She had been spoiled since young, which led to her arrogance now. Furthermore, she had tampered in the Roscente family’s residence, but her actions were not well concealed and were easily traced. It didn’t take Richard much effort to find out.

Hearing Emely’s name, Dylan’s expression grew even colder. “Keep an eye on her. We’ll deal with her later. Also, find out how she got those photos and videos. If she refuses to talk, make her.” His eyes were filled with a fierce glint. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Richard replied, “Got it, boss. What about the guests? Should we let them leave?”

Dylan stated, “Let them go. Before they leave warn them. If anyone dares to leak what happened tonight, the Clifford family won’t let them off.”

After receiving Dylan’s orders, Richard hung up to handle the situation.

When Dylan finished the call, A w asked. Did you find out who it was?”

“Emely,” Dylan replied coldly, his dark eyes unable to hide his icy anger. His tone sealed Emely’s fate. Given Dylan’s usual methods, Emely would likely be left nearly dead.

Andrew frowned, not surprised but still disappointed. His cousin had always been arrogant and unruly. It was time to give Emely the harsh lesson she deserved.

Phoebe, on the other hand, was furious. “How dare she. Has our family wronged or owed her something to make her do such harmful things?”

Samuel and Spencer also looked displeased.

Fortunately, Samuel had recovered well after his surgery. Otherwise, today’s events might have landed him back in the hospital.

“No one in the family can interfere in this. Such a fool will inevitably cause trouble for our family sooner or later. She needs to be properly disciplined,” Samuel decreed. He looked at Dylan. “Dylan, don’t hold back on our family’s account. Do what you need to do, just spare her life.”

When Samuel finished speaking, Jake’s voice came from the staircase. Having

overheard Samuel, Jake’s voice was urgent. “Dad, Emely is still your granddaughter. She made a mistake, but you can’t be so ruthless.

Despite everything, Jake still cared for his daughter.

Spencer snorted. “How dare you have the nerve to speak up? You’ve spoiled her into what she is today. She’s a disgrace to our family. Just looking at you makes me angry. Scram. Samuel was infuriated by the sight of his son. When he thought of his failure of a granddaughter, his temper grew. He looked at Jake with annoyance.

Jake knew the trouble his daughter had caused was serious. It was beyond simply apologizing to Audrey like he could just now. He turned to Dylan. “Mr. Clifford…”

“Mr. Jake, sorry, but I can’t make any promises. She must be held accountable for her actions. If not by me, then someone else will eventually deal with her,” Dylan interrupted, his gaze cold.

Jake had no choice but to leave.

“Boss, do you want to get your hand bandaged first?” Andrew suggested, seeing Dylan’s bloodied hand. If he remained any longer then, the flesh might be bitten off entirely. Despite the pain, Dylan had reined silent.

“No need.” Dylan’s voice was com His dark eyes were fixed on the door, as if it might disappear if he looked away.

Downstairs, the guests had been escorted out by Richard. Before leaving, he sternly warned them. Given the power of the Clifford family and the Roscente family in Northville, no one dared to disobey. They all signed confidentiality agreements.

The Hernandez family also left the Roscente family’s residence. After getting in the car, Rebecca remarked displeasedly, “How lucky Audrey is. The Roscente family values her so much, even giving her 5% of Roscente Group’s shares. And Dylan is so protective of

her.”

If it weren’t for Dylan’s protection, Audrey wouldn’t have been able to stay in Northville. after those photos and videos were made public. Rebecca was fuming, especially since they too had been forced to sign a confidentiality agreement.

“I wonder who released those photos and videos,” Rebecca asked.

Sarah was equally resentful, especially when Dylan still protected Audrey after seeing her disgraceful past.

Hearing Rebecca mention the photos and videos, Sarah’s eyes gleamed. She had been. careful, and no one should be able to trace it back to her. Even if they did investigate, it would only lead to Emely.
