Chapter 161
know that this beautiful lady won’t agree to dance with me?” Yannick said with a smile, still as “Uncle Troy, how do you charming as ever. “What if she does?”
Instead, he looked at Audrey, his tone was
Troy glanced at Yannick as if he were an idiot, too lazy to say anything more, completely gentler than before.
“Why didn’t you get something to eat?” he asked.
Yannick was stunned when he suddenly heard his usually cold and quiet uncle speak so gently.
The next moment, he heard Audrey, who was initially cold, say something as she raised her eyebrows indifferently. “I intend to leave after sitting for a while.”
After all, Dylan should still be waiting outside the Callahan family’s residence.
Troy knew that Dylan was outside. He had deliberately not sent him an invitation.
He thought, ‘Although I’m not Audrey’s real uncle, I genuinely consider her my niece. Dylan failed to protect Audrey, causing her years of suffering for nothing, so I don’t like him! He thinks he can just pursue her now, huh? Does he really think my niece has no one to protect her? Well, there is someone out there, even though Dylan is indeed exceptional in every way, was personally chosen by Vivienne for her daughter, and it’s hard to find someone in all of Chritonia who can match him or be more distinguished than him.
*Sit for a while longer. There’s no hurry.” Troy personally served Audrey two small cakes. “These are your favorites when you were a kid.”
Audrey glanced at the two small cakes that Troy brought over and then at him. His demeanor remained calm and gentle, but Audrey couldn’t shake the feeling that Troy was being intentional.
Yannick said, “No. Uncle Troy, so you know each other. Could it be that this beautiful lady would be my future aunt?”
As he looked at the two of them being affectionate and familiar with each other, he could not help but overthink things.
After all, his uncle was already of a certain age, still unmarried, and there were no women in his circle.
This was the first time Yannick had seen his uncle in such a familiar and intimate relationship with a woman, so he could not help but think more about it.
Troy glanced at Yannick indifferently. His eyes were cold, carrying a hint of warning
Feeling threatened, Yannick quickly fell silent, but he felt even more curious about Troy’s relationship with Audrey.
“There are quite a number of outstanding men here today.” Troy said. “Is there anyone you like? Audrey, tell Uncle Troy if you like any of them. I’ll be your matchmaker!”
Yannick was stunned, thinking, “Uncle Troy? How come my uncle suddenly has a niece?
All of a sudden, Yannick remembered that his uncle had been kidnapped by human traffickers back then and he was apparently saved and adopted by a rural family later.
‘Could this woman be the child of the family that saved Uncle Troy back then? he thought.
With this thought in mind, Yannick’s gaze toward Audrey changed. It turns out that this woman is from the countryside; he thought. ‘She is quite good–looking with her delicate skin, but it’s a pity that she came from the countryside.

Before Audrey could speak, a cold voice came from behind her.
“She doesn’t like anyone!”
The man’s voice was domineering and assertive, cold and indifferent, revealing a strong sense of possessiveness that came from within.
The next moment. Audrey was forcefully pulled into his arms.
Chapter 161
His dark and icy eyes swept coldly over Troy, carrying a sense of threat.
He thought, ‘No matter who it is, even if it’s the most powerful man, I won’t allow anyone to take my baby away from me
Troy squinted as he looked at Dylan, who was radiating cold and domineering possessiveness. Then, he smiled gently before extending his hand to him.
“So it’s Mr. Clifford, Troy said. “Nice to meet you!”
Dylan’s gaze was slightly cold. His dark and deep eyes were filled with icy coldness.
He stared coldly at the warm–smiling Troy in front of him. Then, he reached out to shake hands with Troy.
This was not the first time the two of them met. They had seen each other at important social events. It was just that when Troy saw Dylan in the past, he left with a cold expression and could not be bothered to exchange pleasantries with him, even though Dylan had a powerful background in both Northville and ladale City.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were just shaking hands socially. However, what outsiders could not see was the confrontation between two equally powerful and dangerous men.
Moreover, the two of them only had a handshake that lasted longer than the time others spent on exchanging pleasantries. “How come you are here?”
It wasn’t until Audrey spoke indifferently that the silent confrontation to determine which side was superior between the two
men came to an end.
However, their expressions remained cold.
Troy’s face was filled with contempt as he looked at Dylan suddenly changing expression and revealing a gentle expression
toward his niece.
“I missed you and was afraid that you’d be bullied. Dylan said gently, wanting to caress Audrey’s hair. However, he noticed that although Audrey did not specially dress up tonight, she still did a simple styling
He pursed his lips, leaned over, and gently planted a kiss on the corner of her lips, immediately declaring that she belonged to him in a domineering manner.
Troy said, “Pfft. Mr. Clifford, you have quite the method. The way you declare that Audrey belongs to you is quite outrageous!” Troy had always had a good temper, but in the face of Dylan, who had once hurt Audrey, he still let out a snort in disdain. Dylan straightened up and slightly tightened his grip on Audrey’s waist. Looking at Troy with a hint of joy in his deep and cold eyes, he said indifferently. Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Troy. I’ll do my best.”
Troy sneered inwardly, thinking, ‘No matter how gentle his appearance is, I’ll still be pissed off by him. To hell with the compliment!
“Mr. Clifford, you’re really shameless. I can’t accept the honor of being called Uncle Troy respectfully
“Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Troy. You deserve to be addressed respectfully”
Dylan’s cold, distinguished, and handsome face did not have the slightest hint of respect despite his seemingly respectful
words
Troy snorted inwardly, thinking, ‘He really is a scumbag, trying to use such contemptible words to pursue my niece!” Audrey frowned upon hearing the conversation between the two of them. Just then, her phone rang-
She took out her phone and glanced at the message.
[Someone is looking for Dr. Magic, offering six million dollars. Want to take on this job?]
Audrey pursed her lips. Without even asking any questions, she replied with three words. [Not taking it!]
She usually considered her mood and who the person was when treating patients.
Chapter 161
Audrey had just put away her phone when a person hurriedly ran toward Troy, appearing to be a servant of the Callahan family.
“Mr. Callahan, Grace’s illness flares up again. Everyone is asking you to come over.”
Upon hearing the servant’s words, Troy sneered. The gentle expression on his face faded as he said coldly, “What does the flaring up of her illness have to do with me? I’m not going!”
Noticing that Troy looked displeased, the servant dared not say more. She had no choice but to turn around and return to the
house to report,
A short while later, a few people came out of the house again. They walked up to Freya and said something to her. Freya then lifted her chin arrogantly and entered the house with them.
