âYouâre here too.â Danny saw Audrey and greeted her with a smile, giving her a warm hug.
Audrey glanced casually at the man in front of her. âI was brought here for a blind date.
âNo wonder,â Danny chuckled.. initially refused but ended up being dragged here. So, itâs for your blind date!â
Audrey narrowed her eyes and glanced at Dannyâs smiling face. âAmusing?â
Sensing the slight chill in Audreyâs voice, Danny restrained his smile, but his sharp, handsome features remained attractive.
âDo you
still need blind dates? Donât you know there are too many men who like including me?â Danny said, halfâjokingly.
you,
If he didnât have feelings for her, why would he willingly work for her after losing their gambling agreement?
He simply wanted to stay by her side, to let her see him.
Audrey gave him a cold look and said, âWatch your words.â
Danny pushed his thoughts aside, internally letting out a bitter smile while maintaining
a gentlemanly smile on his face. Changing the subject, he asked, âWhen are you leaving? Iâll give you a ride later.â
âNo need. I have someone with me. The Hernandez Group is on the verge of collapse, and William is probably keeping an eye on you today. Be careful not to fall into his trap,â Audrey warned.
People with their backs against the wall would use any means to get what they wanted.
âDonât worry, I know what Iâm doing,â Danny nodded confidently, understanding the situation.

Not far from them, a figure lurked in the shadows.

Shawn: [Andrew, your mom brought Audrey on a blind date again?]
Andrew: [I didnât know. Havenât heard about it]
Shawn: [Poor Dylan, I feel like heâs been cheated on.]
Andrew: [Whoâs this guy? Seems miliar.1
Dylan had just left the company when he saw the messages.
When he saw the photo in the group, his already weary face turned dark.
To Hollyvale Manor!â Dylan said to Richard.

Dylan stared coldly at the entwined figures in the photo, jealousy almost tearing him. apart, even causing his hands to tremble slightly.
Richard immediately started the car upon sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Dylan.
Seeing Dylan, who usually remained composed, experiencing such emotional turmoil, -especially over Audrey, made Richard realize the seriousness of the situation.
these past few days, Dylan would drive to Greencloud Mountain almost every night and stay until dawn the next day, just to watch Audrey.
In Northville, where Dylan was known for his unwavering confidence and distinguished. status, it was unusual to see him so cautious, especially towards a woman.
As soon as Danny left, Audreyâs gaze turned cold.
âHow long are you going to stand there? Come out,â Audrey said.
Cade was almost scared by Audreyâs voice and nearly dropped his phone before finally stepping out.
âWell, I didnât mean to stand there. Just to clarify, I arrived before you did!â Cade felt a chill down his spine under Audreyâs icy stare. He couldnât help but shiver.
Why did Audrey seem to become more and more like Dylan? They were both so terrifying.
Audrey glanced at him coldly
and walked away.
âHey, Audrey, where are you going?â Before Dylan arrived, Cade felt it necessary to

keep an eye on her.
âTo the restroom. Want to join me?â Audrey smiled faintly at Cade, her lips curling up
slightly.
Audrey was already stunningly beautiful, and with her cool and aloof demeanor, she looked even more breathtakin âer smile was so mesmerizing that Cade found himself momentarily dazed.
He quickly shook his head.
Audrey couldnât be bothered to deal with Cade any further and turned to leave.
As Audrey stepped out of the restroom, she was pulled into someoneâs arms. Her eyes immediately turned cold, and she was ready to retaliate.
A deep, husky, and familiar voice reached her ears. âBaby, itâs me!â
The familiar, gentle, and affectionate voice made Audreyâs heart skip a beat. The next second, her face turned cold as she pushed Dylan away.
Mr. Clifford, please refrain from touching me. Otherwise, I canât guarantee I wonât hurt you!â Audrey said.
Dylan felt a painful constriction in his chest at the sight of the distance and coldness in Audreyâs eyes.
âThen hurt me now. I promise I wonât fight back,â Dylan said, reaching out to pull Audrey into his arms again.
Audreyâs eyes narrowed as she stepped back, keeping her distance from Dylan. Her voice was even colder as she said, âDylan, Iâm not joking.â
âIâm not joking either. Even if you want to kill me, I wonât fight back.â Dylanâs deep eyes were fixed intensely on the woman in front of him.
Despite spending the past few days watching her from his car, it didnât compare to seeing her up close.
Even if she glared at him and treated him coldly, he liked it. Even if she hit or scolded. him, he was willing to endure it.
As long as she allowed him to be near her and see her, he was willing to do anything.
Audrey said, âDylan, stop being crazy. I told you, donât show up in front of me!â

Chapter 69
Audrey looked at Dylanâs cautious demeanor with some irritation. A surge of frustration and annoyance welled up from deep within her as she furrowed her brows.
âIf I canât see you, Iâll die. If I show up in front of you and you kill me, Iâll still die. Iâd rather choose the latter as long as I can see you.â
Dylanâs eyes were full of deep ction and love as he looked at Audrey.
At this moment, he was far from the lofty man he once appeared to be, resembling instead the most ordinary persons who had fallen from grace.
Dylan; in this almost insolent demeanor, was a side of him Audrey had never seen
before.
âBut seeing you annoys me, do you understand?â Audrey looked at Dylan, frustration evident in her tone.
Her exasperation caused Dylan immense pain.
It turned out my presence annoyed her this much, and she had grown to despise him to
this extent.
But what could he do? He didnât want to give up on her. Giving her up would mean losing his life.
âThen let me be an annoyance. I just want to see you,â Dylan said.
âYouâ¦â Audrey glared at Dylan coldly, her frustration growing. She decided to ignore him and turned to leave.
This time, Dylan grabbed her hand, his voice pleading as he begged, âBaby, donât go.â
âWhat do you want?â Audrey struggled but couldnât break free, looking at Dylan in exasperation.
If they werenât in someone elseâs territory, she would have already acted.
âI want you to come back to me, or let me come to you. Iâll do anything you ask, just donât leave me,â Dylan almost begged, throwing away all his pride, just wanting his beloved woman back.
He had knelt, he had pleaded, and he truly didnât know what else to do.
What could he do to bring Audrey back to his side?
