Vengeful

Chapter 29

After Audrey finished speaking, she ignored Dylan and turned to enter the room.

It was as if she wanted to escape. She was afraid that if she didn’t leave now, the pain in her heart would torment her even more, making her more miserable and irritable.

Seeing Audrey coming in with a furrowed brow and an unpleasant look, Brian couldn’t help but worry and asked, “Audrey, who was that?”

David also looked at Audrey.

Audrey said, “Just a friend. You guys continue I’m going back to my room.”

Audrey’s face turned a bit pale as she turned and entered the room.

“David, is Audrey sick? She looks so pale. My face gets like that when I’m not feeling well,” Brian said.

He looked at David, somewhat worried about Audrey.

David was also concerned about Audrey’s condition and said, “I will go check on Audrey in a while. Go back to your room and get some sleep, Okay?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Okay,” Brian said.

After Brian returned to his room, David got up and knocked on Audrey’s door.

By now, Audrey was feeling much better. She opened the door and saw David outside.

“Audrey, are you alright? Brian is very worried about you, afraid that you’re sick,” David. said.

“I’m fine. Tell him not to worry. You should go to bed too. There’s work to be done tomorrow,” Audrey said lightly.

“Okay, as long as you’re fine. I’ll go to sleep then. Goodnight,” David said obediently.

In front of Audrey, he was always obedient.

But in the moment he turned away, David’s expression turned grim.

A fierce and hostile light flashed in his eyes

David thought, ‘It must have been that jerk. Only that jerk would always bully Audrey, making her sad and upset.

David had to become strong enough to protect Audrey.

The next morning, after the three of them had breakfast, they left the hotel.

For convenience, Audrey arranged for a car and a driver.

As soon as they got in the car, Audrey received a message on her phone.

Carly: [Has the car and the driver arrived?]

Aud: [Yes.]

Carly: [I’m free next Monday afternoon.] There was a hint of grievance in her tone.

Aud: [Got it.]

Audrey put away her phone after replying to the message.

The car first arrived at the foot of Greencloud Mountain. Audrey planned to make use of a large piece of empty land at the foot of the mountain to build a new welfare home.

After determining the location, Audrey took David and Brian to rent some houses for Scarlet and the other children from the welfare home.

They would move to the new welfare home when it was built.

After they lived in the slums for a long time, the children’s health would be affected due to the poor living conditions and diet.

After arranging the houses, Audrey had someone deliver a lot of blankets, clothes, and food before going to the slums.

Almost everyone living in the slums was at the bottom of Northville. Not only was their living environment dirty and messy, there wasn’t even a decent road. There was only a narrow dirt road in the slums.

When it rained, the road was full of potholes, and passersby would get mud up to their legs with just one step.

The car couldn’t drive in, so Audrey had the car parked outside the slums, and then she led David and Brian inside.

Audrey and Brian were both beautiful, and they were well–dressed. It was clear they didn’t belong to the slums, which attracted the attention of many passersby.

David glared at them fiercely, and those people shifted their gaze.

Before long, they arrived at the place where the people from the former orphanage

lived.

Scarlet had been anxiously waiting outside the door. When she saw David return, she, was overjoyed.

Scarlet said, “You’re back. If you didn’t come back, I was going to go out looking for

you.

“Scarlet, look who’s here.” David happily stepped aside, revealing Audrey behind him.

“Th… This is Ms. Hernandez. Ms. Hernandez is back. Thank goodness, Ms. Hernandez has returned safely,” Scarlet said happily.

Scarlet looked at Audrey for a while before recognizing her, feeling excited and surprised.

“Scarlet, so nice to see you again.” Audrey then looked at Brian.

Brian’s pretty little face was filled with a cute and obedient smile as he said, “Hi, Scarlet.

“This child is so cute. Come on in,” Scarlet said.

Scarlet finished speaking, then looked apologetically at Audrey. “I’m sorry about the conditions here. It’s not very good. Please don’t mind.”

“No. It’s fine,” Audrey said.

Audrey showed no sign of disdain. She followed them inside.

“Scarlet, Audrey’s found a new place for you. We’re all moving there today and will stay until the welfare home is ready,” David said.

“No, we can’t accept this,” Scarlet said.

Scarlet knew about Audrey’s past imprisonment and being expelled by the Hernandez family.

It was precisely because of this that David went to plead with the Hernandez family, but he was severely beaten and nearly died. Even the former orphanage was demolished.

Scarlet felt that Audrey’s life must be tough as well.

“This is the least I can do. Scarlet, take the children to the new place. The environment

here isn’t good for their health,” Audrey said.

“How can we? Your life must be tough too. It has always been your mother and you helping us. We can’t let you support us again Scarlet felt guilty.

“Scarlet, just listen to Audrey and move. The children are important. I’ll work hard to earn money for the rest of us,” David said.

David had grown up in the orphanage since childhood. After Audrey’s mother adopted him, he was sent back to the orphanage by Rebecca after his foster mother’s death.

Even though he returned to the orphanage, Audrey continued to support him and the orphanage, never giving up on him.

“Okay, Ms. Hernandez, I really appreciate your great kindness on behalf of the children. Scarlet expressed her deep gratitude.

“I can’t do much. I’m just doing what I can,” Audrey said calmly.

In the afternoon, Audrey arranged for someone to send them all to the newly rented house.

“Audrey, can I come often to play with them in the future?” Just in one afternoon, Brian had made several friends, and he felt reluctant to leave.

“Of course, you can come whenever you want, Audrey said.

Whether it was Lucas or Brian, perhaps because of their high intelligence, far exceeding that of children of the same age, both had few friends.

Brian’s willingness to befriend these children was a good thing.

Besides, she couldn’t be with her children forever. They needed a world of their own.

“If you want to come over, I’ll bring you here, David indulgently said to Brian.

“Not you.” Audrey’s tone was cold as she looked at David and continued, “I’ve found several high schools for you. Choose one to attend for SAT.”

Upon hearing Audrey’s words, David was taken aback.

Ever since Audrey was sent to prison and the orphanage was demolished, David had to shoulder all the burdens of the orphanage. He hadn’t thought about going back to school.

At Audrey’s words, his eyes were slightly red.
