Chapter 48
After more than an hour, the door finally opened. Those waiting outside immediately looked inside. Treating Brian had drained Audrey, leaving her pale and her presence weakened.
Seeing Audrey like that, Phoebe felt her heartache at once. âHow is Brian? Is he okay?â Phoebe hurriedly supported Audrey, worried she might faint.
âYes, heâs stable for now. Heâll wake up after some rest.â Audrey nodded.
Hearing that Brian was okay, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, Dylanâs brows remained tightly furrowed as he watched Audrey intently.
âThank goodness heâs finally okay,â Phoebe exclaimed with relief. She was so relieved. that she nearly fell to her knees to pray. Brianâs previous condition had frightened.
everyone.
âCome on, you need to rest too. If Brian wakes up but you fall ill, it will break my heart,â Phoebe said as she helped Audrey to a room prepared for her.
Throughout this, Audrey ignored Dylan, not even sparing him a glance.
Shawn and the others watching couldnât help but sigh for Dylan. But they felt he deserved it.
Dylanâs eyes remained fixed on Audreyâs retreating figure until she went into the room, then he turned and entered Brianâs room.
Brian was still pale but appeared much better than the agony he was in before. Dylan looked at Brian. His face resembled Audreyâs with a hint of his features. Dylanâs heart. softened. To him, Brian was a precious gift from his beloved, one he had nearly lost. through his actions.
Dylan stayed in Brianâs room for a while before heading downstairs.
Richard was already waiting for him. Seeing Dylan, Richard approached respectfully.
âWhere is she?â Dylanâs cold eyes gleamed with a fierce and icy light.
âOutside. Sheâs being watched,â Richard replied.
Hearing that, Dylanâs tall, imposing figure headed directly outside, with Richard following closely.
Outside, Emely was guarded by several men, looking disheveled and tearâstreaked.

Seeing Dylanâs cold demeanor, her eyes filled with fear, and her body trembled.
âTake her away.â Dylanâs voice was icy and unfeeling, his aloof and noble face looking sharp.
Hearing the command, Emel
amed and struggled. Tears streamed down her face. as she hoped for someone from her family to save her. But no one came. She was bound and taken into a car. At this moment, Emely truly felt fear.
Half an hour later, Emely was taken to the foot of a mountain. When the car stopped, she was dragged out and thrown to the ground.
Seeing the darkness around her, goosebumps rose on Emelyâs skin. Fear filled her. Her legs gave out, and she fell to the ground on her knees. However, the ground was full of small sharp stones. When her knees landed on them, they stung her.
Seeing the tall figure in the darkness, Emely felt utter despair.
Dylan looked coldly at the kneeling woman, his dark eyes almost blending with the night, yet his powerful and commanding presence instilled fear.
âWhere did those photos and videos come from?â Dylan asked. He lit a cigarette. The glowing ember flickered ominously in the dark, making the deserted mountainside appear even more terrifying. Furthermore, the sounds of insects and birds added to the desolate and eerie atmosphere.
Emely was raised in luxury and naturally couldnât take this. She was on the verge of breaking down as she sobbed desperately, âI donât know who sent them. They were mailed to me. You can ask my maid. She received the package.â She dared not lie.
âRichard, check it out,â Dylan glanced at Richard and ordered.
Richard nodded and went to the side to make a call. Ten minutes later, he returned. âIt was indeed mailed to her. Iâve started tracing the sender, Richard reported.
Hearing this, Emely, still crying, begged, âI told the truth. Now you know. Can I go home now?â
Emely was filled with fear. She didnât want to stay in this dark place for another second.
âGo home? You think you can go back?â Dylan sneered, his icy eyes filled with malice.
Dylanâs tone exuded danger, making Emely shrink in fear. âWhat are you going to do? Iâm the Roscente familyâs daughter, after all. Mr. Clifford, you canât treat me like this.â

âEmely, you must bear the consequences of your actions. I promised your grandfather to spare your life, but whether you survive is up to fate,â Dylan replied coldly.
âRichard, leave her in the mountains. Itâs up to her if she lives or dies,â Dylan ordered.
Emelyâs face went pale. âNo, plea
ât want to go. I was wrong, Mr Clifford. Please,
let me go back,â she pleaded, territ. The looming darkness of the mountain that blended with the night filled her with dread. She would go insane if she went in there.
âTake her away,â Dylan commanded icily.
Soon, Dylanâs men dragged Emely into the mountain.
Dylan wouldnât harm Emely himself. He would spare her life, but the mountain of dangers, and whether she would survive had nothing to do with him.
âBoss, you should treat your wound. It could get infected, Richard suggested, concerned about Dylanâs bloodied hand.

âLetâs head back to the Roscente familyâs residence,â Dylan said, dismissing his injury. The pain in his heart was far worse compared to his hand.
âYou have three days to find out everything that happened to Audrey in the menâs prison. I want to know every single one who touched her. I want all the details,â Dylan ordered. When he recalled the videos and photos he had seen today, his heart felt like it was ripped into shreds.
âAlso, find out who sent her to the menâs prison. Use any means necessary,â Dylan added, determined to seek vengeance on everyone who had wronged her, including himself.
âYes, sir,â Richard replied.
When Dylan returned to the Roscente familyâs residence, everyone was already asleep. He didnât drive into the courtyard, instead stopping on the small path outside the villa.
