Chapter 94
“Follow her!” Dn ordered coldly. He couldn’t let anything happen to her.
He hadn’t protected her well before, causing her so much pain and suffering. This time<b>, </b>he couldn’t let anyone hurt <b>her</b><b>, </b>not anyone, not even himself.
Audrey dropped David off at school. He had evening <b>sses</b>.
After turning around at the school gate, she noticed a car following her <b>at </b>a distance.
After a couple of blocks, Audrey saw that the <b>car </b>following her had changed.
It was now a different but somewhat familiar car<b>, </b>with a simr sequence of numbers on the license te.
The car that had been following behind her had disappeared.
Audrey suppressed her emotions and elerated towards Greencloud Mountain. Richard, in the car behind, also <b>sped </b>up to keep <b>pace</b>.
Both cars drove up Greencloud Mountain and stopped at the Hond family. Only then did the car following her turn around and leave<b>. </b>
Audrey watched it <b>go</b>, her brows knitted, her eyes filled withplex emotions.

After leaving Greencloud Mountain, Dn headed straight to Northville Hospital for
treatment again.
Every time Dn left the hospital, his wounds reopened, some even bing infected. Whenever his wounds <b>festered</b>, Dn refused anesthesia<b>, </b>allowing the doctors to scrape the pus away with sharp scalpels. The excruciating pain reminded him of the suffering Audrey had endured.
Only then did he <b>feel </b>a little relieved.
After all of Dn’s wounds <b>were </b>treated and the medical staff left, Richard entered the ward.
Dn asked, “Did you find anything?”
Richard said, “The people trying to kill Ms. Hernandez seem to be from <b>overseas</b>. <b>I’ve </b>already instructed The Patrons <b>to </b>investigate. However<b>, </b><b>it </b>appears that the ones who attacked Ms. Hernandez previously and this time are not the same group.” Dn’s brows knitted, his expression darkening, and his already <b>pale </b>face <b>grew </b>even colder and more <b>severe</b><b>. </b>
Dn said, “<b>Assign </b>a few members of The Patrons to protect <b>her </b><b>secretly</b>.”
Richard <b>was </b>taken <b>aback</b><b>, </b>ncing at Dn. He hadn’t <b>expected </b>Dn to <b>assign </b>The Patrons to <b>protect </b>Audrey.
“<b>Yes</b><b>, </b><b>I’ll </b>arrange <b>it </b>right <b>away</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>Richard nodded respectfully
Dn then <b>asked</b><b>, </b>“Any <b>news </b>from <b>Reba</b><b>?</b>”
Dn <b>had </b><b>been </b><b>keeping </b>tabs <b>on </b><b>the </b><b>Hernandez </b><b>family </b><b>to </b><b>prevent </b>them from harming <b>Audrey</b><b>. </b><b>Despite </b><b>William </b><b>and </b><b>Sarah </b>being <b>imprisoned</b><b>, </b><b>Reba </b><b>suddenly </b><b>disappeared</b>.
<b>“</b><b>We’re </b>still <b>investigating</b><b>, </b><b>Richard </b><b>said</b>.

Dn waved his hand, closing <b>his </b>eyes. His pale <b>face </b>looked utterly exhausted.
<b>As </b>soon <b>as </b>Richard left, Dn’s phone rang.

In the silent ward, the ringtone <b>was </b>jarring. Dn nced at the <b>caller </b>ID, <b>his </b>eyes darkening, and he hung up. The phone rang again within two minutes<b>, </b>so Dn turned it <b>off</b>.
Half an hourter, there was a noise outside the ward.
Dn opened his eyes. The door was pushed open, and ire, who <b>was </b>elegantly dressed, walked in, <b>her </b>high heels clicking, handbag in hand. The guards at the door couldn’t stop her.
“What, does a mother need an application to visit her son?” ire sneered, looking at Dn lying in bed.
Dn dismissed his guards, who respectfully closed the door behind them.
“What do you want?” Dn asked.
Dn’s gaze was icy as he looked at ire. There was no hint of familial affection in his expression, only indifference and alienation, like two strangers.
“No matter how much you dislike me, I’m still your mother. <b>It’s </b>only natural for a mother <b>to </b><b>see </b>her son!” ire’s cold as she looked at Dn.
“<b>If </b><b>I </b>could choose<b>, </b>I’d rather not be your son!” Dn’s <b>face </b>showed <b>a </b>self–mocking <b>sneer </b><b>as </b>he looked at ire.
“<b>Are </b>you here to stand up her coldness.

ire said, “Dn, you are my son. You must listen to me, or else I in prison!”

Dn’s <b>face </b>immediately darkened, his cold, <b>deep </b>eyes turning cold. He red at ire, his eyes intent that could almost kill her.

Dn said, “Try it. If you dare put her back in prison, I will make your life a living hell, cutting your flesh piece by piece and sending it to her!”
When she saw <b>her </b>son so protective of that woman, ire’s <b>face </b>twisted in anger. She suppressed her rage and said sternly, “Come home the night after tomorrow.”

When Audrey returned home, she went straight to her study.
On the desk, four <b>screens </b>were lit up, <b>each </b>disying <b>dense </b>lines of code running <b>across </b>them.
Following <b>that</b>, one of <b>the </b>monitors <b>disyed </b>a <b>page</b><b>, </bpletely ck <b>except </b>for the list of <b>posted </b>tasks. There <b>was </b>nothing else on the <b>screen</b>.
The top–<b>ranked </b><b>task </b>on the <b>list </b><b>was </b>her assassination, with a bounty <b>as </b>high <b>as </b><b>2 </b>billion dors.
Immediately <b>after</b><b>, </b><b>Audrey </b>made <b>a </b><b>call</b>.
“You’re <b>still </b><b>alive</b>?” came the <b>voice </b>from the other <b>side</b>, <bzy </b>and with a hint of <b>indifference</b>.
<b>“</b><b>You’ve </b><b>managed </b>to <b>save </b>this life, so I better <b>keep </b><b>it </b><b>safe</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>Audrey <b>said </b>with <b>a </b>smile <b>and </b>shrugged <b>off </b>the <b>voice </b><b>on </b><b>the </b><b>other </b>end of the phone<b>. </b>
<b>“</b><b>When </b><b>did </b><b>you </b><b>cross </b><b>Nightshade </b><b>Alliance</b><b>?</b><b>” </b><b>Paxton’s </b><b>voice </b><b>suddenly grew </b><b>serious</b>.

“Nightshade Alliance?” Audrey frowned, thinking. “I don’t think I have. Are you saying the one who put a 200 million dor bounty on my head is from Nightshade Alliance<b>?</b><b>” </b>
“Yes, The Silence just received the information,” Paxton said. Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Since the information came from The Silence, Audrey didn’t doubt its authenticity.
Audrey frowned. She couldn’t recall any conflict with Nightshade Alliance, let alone someone willing to pay 200 million dors to have her killed.
“I understand. I’ll be careful,” Audrey said.
After hanging up, Audrey focused back on her screens.
Her slender fingers kept typing on the screen as lines of code shed past.
An hourter, Audrey’s expression turned cold. She pursed her lips<b>, </b>staring at the <b>screen </b>for a few seconds.

Audrey’s hacking skills were unparalleled, even on an international scale, but she found the opponent’s defense <b>system </b>to be imprable.
She wondered who was behind the defense system of the Nightshade Alliance.

At that moment, rms sounded in a grand estate.
