Chapter 6
Sarah pondered. Even though I was humiliated in front of Northville’s elite, as long as I have Dn by my side, who in Northville would dare to ridicule me?”
Dn turned slightly and cast a cold, indifferent nce at Sarah. His deep, dark eyes were icy and distant. “Richard, throw them out,” he ordered.
Upon hearing Dn’smand, Richard stepped forward to escort them out. Sarah trembled, staring at Dn in disbelief, while William and Reba’s faces turned sour.
“Wasn’t Mr. Clifford supposed to be engaged to Sarah? It doesn’t look like it,” someone. in the crowd murmured, their probing stares leaving Sarah feeling exposed and humiliated.
Sarah had basked in the admiration of everyone before Audrey arrived, but now everything had changed. Sarah seethed with a desire to exact revenge on Audrey for ruining her life.
Dn leaned over to whisper something to Richard before entering Silvandel Auction House with Andrew and the rest of the group.
That night, a video of Sarah, Northville’s top socialite and a popr star, kneeling and bowing went viral. The footage also captured the moment when the Hernandez trio were forcibly removed from Silvandel Auction House.
Within half an hour, another video surfaced, showing them being pelted with rotten eggs and garbage on their way home. Sarah and her family had never experienced such disgrace and humiliation.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
“Dn, what did you ask Richard to do?” Cade couldn’t resist asking once they were inside their private room.
“What else? He’s taking care of some business for someone,” Shawn chuckled, ncing at Dn.
“Audrey already has a son. Shouldn’t you just move on? Are you really nning to raise someone else’s kid?” Cade looked at Dn, unable to hold back.
“That’s cool. Instant fatherhood, isn’t it great? Shawn added with augh.
Dn’s eyes narrowed, his gaze turning cold, “Richard, take these two for some sparring practice.”

Richard stepped forward at Dn’smand. Cade and Shawn’s faces paled.
“Dn, we were wrong! I have an interview with a boxer tomorrow. Please don’t let Richard hit me,” Cade pleaded, covering his face. The prospect of sparring with Richard meant a month in bed.
Shawn quickly backed away, keeping his mouth shut.
The auction officially began at seven o’clock in the evening. Audrey focused solely on the Bamboo Reishi, ignoring everything else. Meanwhile, Brian attentively observed each item but didn’t find anything to his liking.
When the final item, the Bamboo Reishi, was brought on stage with a starting price of 200 thousand dors, Audrey didn’t hesitate. One million dors!”
If the owner hadn’t refused private sales, Audrey would have already bought it. This was a life–saving item for Brian, and she had to get it.
Few recognized the value of the Bamboo Reishi, so there wasn’t muchpetition. The bidding quickly escted to two million dors when a deep, cold voice from a second- floor room called out, “Four million dors!”
Recognizing Dn’s voice, most people stopped bidding.
“Ten million dors!” Audrey’s eyes narrowed as she icily ced her bid.
The deep voice immediately followed, “20 million dors!”
Audrey sneered, thinking, ‘You want topete with me in wealth? I’ll crush you with money!
The Bamboo Reishi, though rare, wasn’t worth more than a few million. 20 million dors was already an outrageous price.
*40 million dors!” Audrey’s voice echoed through the auction house. In the private <b>room</b>, Cade and the others were shocked.
“When did Audrey be so rich? 40 million dors for a nt? You two are insane!” Andrew and Shawn were equally stunned.
‘Seven years ago, Dn himself sent Audrey to prison and she was disowned by her family. How does she have this much money now? Could someone be sponsoring her?” they thought, sending shivers down their spines. <b>‘</b><b>If </b>this is true, Dn would lose it.”
They nced at Dn, whose tightly pressed lips and deep, inscrutable eyes revealed no emotion.

Outside the private room, everyone was also awaiting Dn’s bid.
“40 million dors going once, twice, sold! Congrattions to the guest in Room 88!” the auctioneer announced.
Dn’s eyes shed with a dark, inscrutable intensity as he nced towards Audrey’s room. “Richard, thoroughly investigate everything about her past seven years,” hemanded.
“Yes, sir,” Richard replied.
As the auction concluded and Dn and his group exited their room, they spotted <b>Jason </b>holding the young boy and engaged in conversation with Audrey. Dn’s gaze turned colder as he observed. “Seven years apart, and she’s be even more formidable, he thought.
Audrey noticed Dn’s intense gaze and responded with a cold stare of her own. Her eyes narrowed momentarily before she resumed her conversation with Jason. Dn’s demeanor grew even colder.
“Audrey, shall I escort you?” Jason asked respectfully, noticing Dn approaching.
“No need. Please take Brian with you,” Audrey replied coldly.
Brian frowned. “Audrey, I won’t leave you,” he insisted, concerned about the possibility of that bad guy bullying his mom.
“Be good, okay?” Audrey’s tone hardened. Brian pouted but obediently followed Jason. Before leaving, he shot a warning re at the approaching man.
As soon as Jason and Brian left, Dn stood before Audrey, his icy, piercing gaze fixed.
on her.
Audrey was no stranger to the man standing before her. Dn, Prince of Northville, the eldest son of the Clifford family, the current head of the Clifford Group, and the former fiancé of the person whose body she now inhabited.
Yet, she had no recollection of him. While she had inherited the original host’s memorics, anything rted to Dn was aplete nk
She wasn’t aware of how deeply this man had hurt the original host, but the sight of him still made her heart ache. Audrey frowned slightly, her difort evident.
