Chapter 127
“Audrey, don’t worry, I’ll find a way to
in gel Clayton to divorce Valerie. Then
Audrey waved her hand to stop Lillian and spoke into the phone, “This is Audrey Clayton’s older brother and mother pressured me to wilde the report. Yes, they’re right here in front of me…….”
“Audrey!” Lillian instantly lost her temper. “You’re talking nonsensel Nobody pressured you, we came here to negotiate”
Audrey didn’t even look at her and continued, “They came to my company to cause trouble, seriously affecting my work and life. Please, boss, help me got justice!”
Liban tried to say something else but was pulled away by Wyatt.
Audrey sneered and hung up. Soon after, Tiffany came out.
“I thought you
you had something for me to do.” Tiffany put her phone in her pocket.
When she first got Audrey’s call, she was confused. Her first thought was to have Audrey secretly take photos to prevent the Patel family from bullying
But then she realized something was off. Audrey just wanted to intimidate the Patel family. “Why not really report it and have Clayton punished severely?” Tiffany asked.
Audrey said calmly. “Some favors, if used once, are mutual achievements. But used too often, they become burdens.”
Malcolm and his son looked at her differently, mostly because they wanted Yann’s favor. Even if she didn’t say it outright, Malcolm wouldn’t let Clayton off easily. But if she called Malcolm repeatedly over trivial matters, she’d just end up owing him favors.
“Want me to walk you out!” Audrey smiled and asked.
Tiffany declined, “No thanks, I live in the old district, narrow streets and lots of cars. I’ll go ahead.”
When Audrey got home, Yann had prepared dinner again. It was lighter today, with her favorite sweet potato porridge, plus one meat dish and one vegetable
“Wild amaranth?” Audrey pinched it right away.
“Go wash your hands!” Before Yann’s hand could come down, Audrey quickly turned and tossed the cold wild amaranth salad into her mouth, grinning mischievously.
The man smiled indulgently and put down his fork.
“By the way!” Audrey casually wiped her hands and took a black card from her bag. “This is the one Ms. Smollett gave me when I bought clothes the other day. Here, it’s yours.”
The smile vanished instantly from Yann’s eyes as he pushed the card away, “If I gave it to you, it’s yours.”
“We’re still just..
“Just on probation.” Yann sat down with a serious face. “Even probation can’t be freeloaded on.”
Audrey stood by the table, looking straight at his sharply defined profile. This man was excellent in every way, what did he see in her? it couldn’t be
money, so it must be her.
But she wasn’t a stunning beauty; in Yanny’s social circle, international actresses and domestic stars were everywhere. Audrey bent down and gave hima, quick kiss on the side of his face.
Chapter 127
Yann froze, the food on his fork suddenly falling back onto the plate.
“You’re right, probation can’t be freelanded on Audrey smiled and sat across from him. “I enjoy what you give me, to i need to ge back? She picked u her fork and cheerfully started eating
Though she didn’t want to be a clingy woman depending on a man, having a strong support made it unnecessary to stubbornly suffer alone and fight against herself.
She should better use the advantages Yann offered to become stronger herself.
After dinner, they walked around the villa. Audrey felt like someone was watching her from nearby.
Passing by a shadowy spot, she looked back again and saw a dark figure quickly hide behind an artificial rock
“Someone’s following us,” Audrey whispered.
Yann squeezed her hand and kept walking forward. “Ignore it.”
Audrey went speechless. He already knew?
Royal House’s property management was very professional, probably because it was expensive. Only registered owners and those authorized by owners were allowed in; outsiders weren’t,
The neighbor next door was renovating, and the workers all got access permits; entering or leaving the community required face recognition scans. Also, multiple high–definition surveillance cameras were installed around the villa cluster, along with patrol personnel. In theory, no criminals should be able to sneak in.
Yann’s palm was broad and thick; holding Audrey’s hand gave her a sense of security.
But even knowing someone was following them, she really couldn’t relax. Audrey tried to speak a few times but was interrupted each time by Yann squeezing her hand hard.
at far away, a shadow emerged quickly from behind an artificial rock and followed fast. “Amelia, this isn’t good,” Calvin said helplessly from behind.
Nat
“Don’t talk!“Amelia hissed in a low voice. “Birds of a feather flock together, you lonely thing, you’re useless!”
Calvin was speechless.
Amelia lightened her steps, turned the comer, and lost the target. “Quick, find out where they went!”
Calvin looked around and pointed. “They went toward the waterside pavilion.”
Amelia told him to follow. When the two arrived outside the pavilion, they didn’t see anyone
“Are you stupid or what? You can’t even follow one personi Amelia used to think Calvin was virtuous, maybe good enough to be a daughter–in–law. Now looking at him, it was like his nose wasn’t a nose, his eyes weren’teyes!
Calvin rubbed his neck, said nothing.
“This son didn’t inherit any of my social skills! How can you only hold hands when dating? At his snail pace, when will ever get grandchildren!“Amelia angrily sat down on the pavilion bench
“Audrey hasn’t even agreed to marry Sir yet, and you’re already thinking about grandchildren? isn’t that too far ahead?” Calvin muttered.
“I wouldn’t mind a double celebration!“Amelia stood up with righteous air. “If they can’t speed things up, I’ll stop Yann from having children?
“Absolutely can’t lose to her Amelia leh Calvin behind and stormed off
Watching A
Amelia’s figure disappear, Calvin finally turned to one side.”
Chapter 127
Yann, holding Audrey’s hand, stepped out with a cold, handsome face. She’s fighting again?
Calvin frowned and explained everything. The fight between Amelia and Cecilia had escalated from whose son marries first to who has grandchlinen
first.
After learning Cecilia had a “suspected grandchild,” Amelia immediately started investigating By tracking Cecilia’s movements since arriving in Ironhaven, she quickly found the other party.
She deliberately leaked Cecilia’s whereabouts to make the other woman think Cecilia was there to snatch the child, so that woman fled overnight with
the child.
Amelia’s strategy now was to have her own biological grandchild before the paternity test was done. That way, no matter the grandchild’s age, she’d have the advantage.
Audrey’s mouth twitched repeatedly listening to this. She thought, is Amelia fifty or fifteen? How could she be so childish?”
Compared to Audrey’s shock, Yann was very calm. He had even witnessed Amelia’s more childish and brainless behaviors.
“How’s it coming along?” Yann changed the topic.
Calvin also got to work, serious and rigorous. “John found out about his granddaughter’s outrageous behavior, had a heart attack, and is now receiving treatment outside the hospital.“
