Chapter 81
Audrey asked Callum to give a brief overview of the situation.
She told Callum not to worry for now. After hanging up, Audrey immediately called Dylan.
This was the first time Audrey had called Dylan. Audrey hadnât saved Dylanâs number, but she had a remarkable memory. She remembered the number after just a quick glance when Dylan called her the first time.
The phone rang once, and Dylan answered, his deep, h**se voice carrying a hint of urgency. âBaby?â
When she heard his address of her, Audreyâs hand holding the phone trembled slightly before she asked coldly, âIs Brian with you?â
âBrian? He left over an hour ago. Whatâs wrong? Hasnât Brian arrived home yet?â Dylanâs voice sounded increasingly worried.
The distance from Northville Hospital to Greencloud Mountain wasnât short, but it wasnât rush hour. An hour was enough time to drive from the hospital to the Holland family.
Audrey didnât reply to Dylanâs question. Instead, she said coldly, If Brian calls you or contacts you, please let me know. Thank you
Audrey hung up without waiting for a response, her tone cold and distant, as if they were strangers.
Dylan thought to himself that if it werenât for Brian, Audrey probably wouldnât have even called him.
After he hung up. Dylanâs expression turned cold, and he immediately summoned Richard.
âHave you received any updates from the people I asked you to find to secretly protect Brian?â Dylan asked.
Ill go check right away,â Richard said.
Audrey had swiftly accessed various surveillance systems around Northville Hospital. She was meticulously reviewing the footage.
When she reached half past two in the afternoon, she saw the car return to the hospital gate. Everything seemed normal, and there was no sign of danger.
That meant Brian likely disappeared after entering the hospital.
After exiting the surveillance system, Audrey rapidly tapped on the keyboard. In no time, footage from various surveillance cameras inside Northville Hospital appeared on the screen.
Audrey followed Brianâs movements from the moment he entered the hospital after half past two.
In the surveillance footage. Brian entered the elevator in the hospitalâs inpatient department. The elevator was crowded, and Brian got off on the fifteenth floor.
Audrey switched to the surveillance on the fifteenth floor, but the footage abruptly cut off, as if something had blocked the camera, utacuring the view.
Audrey tried to locate surveillance cameras in the corridors but found no trace of Brian.
Frowning, Audreyâs eyes grew colder.
Brian seemed to have disappeared on the fifteenth floor of Northville Hospital!

Chapter 81
Audrey exited the surveillance footage and immediately hacked into the hospitalâs inpatient department system.
On it, Audrey saw the name âSarah Hernandez.â
The next moment, Audreyâs phone rang.
Just by looking at the number, Audrey coldly answered, âSarah, where is my son?â
Her icy tone carried a chilling aura. Even though they were separated by a phone call, it still made Sarah feel uncomfortable.
âAudrey, arenât you clever? If you transfer all the shares of the Hernandez Group to me, Iâll return your son to you. How about it?â Sarah said.
Sarah, realizing Audrey had figured it out, was no longer beating around the bush and went straight to the point.
She hated Audrey, wishing she could skin her alive, tear her apart, and drink her blood.
She was supposed to be the favored daughter, the top socialite of Northville, and Dylanâs future wife.
But everything changed the moment Audrey came back. Even her esteemed position in the entertainment industry was shattered.
Now her innocence was also destroyed. Sarah hated Audrey with every fiber of her being.
She should not have lived. Only when Audrey died could she recover.
However, Sarah did not expect Audrey to send her father to prison and take away all her shares.
When Sarah heard the news, her mind went blank.
She hated Audrey for stealing everything from her. She wanted to make Audrey suffer.
It so happened that Audreyâs child actually came to her. How could Sarah let go of such a good opportunity?
Audrey snapped, âSarah, I can give you the shares of the Hernandez Group, but if you dare harm my son, remember, I will make you pay a hundredfold!â
Audreyâs voice was cold and ruthless, her eyes filled with a chilling intent, bloodthirsty and merciless.
âAudrey, your son is in my hands now. You have no right to negotiate terms with me!â Sarah was infuriated.
âIâm warning you. Donât seek your own death!â Audrey warned coldly.
Audrey hung up the phone, and it rang again a second later.
Audrey ignored it, but the phone rang again after two seconds.
She furrowed her brows. When the other party called for the third time, Audrey impatiently answered, âWhat is it?â
Audreyâs tone was icy, tinged with impatience and annoyance.
âDonât worry, Audrey. Iâve received news about Brian. My men are following him. Donât worry, I will bring Brian back to you safely, Dylan said.
Despite Audreyâs cold indifference, Dylanâs voice remained gentle, with a hint of coaxing.
He was afraid Audrey would worry too much,
âJust send me Brianâs current location,â Audrey said.

Chapter 81
Audrey wasnât accustomed to placing all her bets on others, even if this person was Brianâs father.
But Sarah wanted to see her, and she wanted all the shares of the Hernandez Group.
@ + 70%
âPlease wait a little longer, baby. My men will safely bring Brian back to you. Brian is also my child, and I wonât let anything happen to him,â Dylan said.
Dylanâs voice was h**se, almost pleading, begging Audrey to believe that he would truly protect Brian.
Dylan added, âSarah is a l**tic now. Iâm afraid sheâll hurt you.â
Audrey sneered, suddenly saying, âDylan, no one can harm me. The address?â
âIâll have someone send it to you!â Dylan paused before speaking h**ely.
Audrey didnât reply and directly hung up the phone.
The next moment. Dylan sent a location to her.
Audrey instructed Callum to come back and then drove out herself.
Meanwhile, in an abandoned farmhouse in the outskirts of Northville.
Richard respectfully reported to Dylan, âMr. Dylan, itâs here!â
Dylan struggled to get out of the car.
He then looked coldly at the dilapidated door in front of him, his voice indifferent and filled with murderous intent as he said, âKick the door open!â
Since he had promised Audrey to bring Brian back safely, he would never break his promise, nor would he trust his subordinates entirely.
