Chapter 210
Three days later, Clayton got the property ownership certificate replaced and used it to secure a loan of 300,000 dollars as collateral.
To mend the relationship between Lillian and Wyatt, he transferred 100,000 dollars to his mother. Lillian was surprised at where he got the money, so she
met him privately.
“Mom, it’s all my fault. I won’t do such things again,” Clayton said with a sincere attitude. “Please stay at Wyatt’s house now. I’ll get you back to my house when I handle everything.”
Lillian saw that Clayton was thin and had dark circles under his eyes. She felt so distressed that tears fell. “Clayton, I know you’re proud, but don’t push yourself too hard. I’m doing fine at your brother’s house, so don’t worry.”
Lillian’s stroke symptoms had improved a lot, but she seemed to have much less energy than before. Clayton immediately sensed something was wrong and asked, “Did Alexa say something?”
“No, nothing,” Lillian denied immediately, but her tears couldn’t stop flowing.
After the Patel family lost power, Wyatt was transferred to a marginal position again. Even though Alexa’s father, Tony Woodson, used his connections, he couldn’t get Wyatt transferred back.
Plus, Riley dropped out of school and became rebellious, so Alexa had a bad attitude toward the entire Patel family.
Previously, the Patel family hired servants for Lillian. Now that Lillian was at Wyatt’s house, she couldn’t do housework, but if she didn’t do it, she would be criticized by Alexa.
Alexa had never been stingy with Lillian’s daily expenses, but Lillian just felt very uncomfortable, as if she were a redundant outsider and was looked down upon by Alexa.
During the years Lillian had been married to John, she had always been the head of the family and had never been treated like this by anyone.
“Clayton…” Lillian grabbed her son’s hand and said with a sob, “No matter how angry you are, you can’t ignore your health. You have a bad stomach, so
let-”
Lillian wanted to let Valerie cook some fine food to nourish his stomach, but then she thought that Valerie would only make Clayton take care of herself, so she swallowed the words.
She couldn’t help but sigh. “When Audrey was here, your stomach got much better. I remember you didn’t have a stomachache for more than a year.”
Lillian continued with tears in her eyes, “Although she was an orphan with no money or power, she was really good to you.”
After going through so much, Lillian also regretted being so mean to Audrey before. She held Clayton’s hand tight
en she said this.
Clayton held her hand back. “Mom, after I divorce Valerie, I’ll remarry Audrey. In the future, don’t say she’s an orphan or a foreigner anymore. Be nice to
her.”
“Will she agree?” Lillian’s eyes lit up. When she saw Clayton nod firmly, she quickly said, “I won’t say that again. As long as she treats me like she did before, I’ll pretend you two were never divorced.”
Clayton comforted his mother with a few more words, telling her not to conflict with Alexa, and then left.
Looking at the 100,000 dollars in the card, Lillian was in a very good mood. She wanted to buy some gifts for Alexa to prevent Alexa from thinking she was a useless person who couldn’t do any housework.
Lillian thought that being nice to Alexa would also make her speak well of Wyatt in front of Tony and get him a better job. She remembered that Alexa’s skin–care products were almost gone and planned to buy a set for her.
When she saw that the price of the skin–care gift box was about three thousand dollars, she hesitated.

Chapter 210
Lillian heard a familiar voice and suddenly turned her head. She saw Audrey and a noble middle–aged woman at the opposite counter. “Please show me this facial mask,” said Audrey.
“You mean this facial mask?” Amelia picked it up and looked at it, then said, “It costs two hundred dollars per piece.”
“We can try it,” Audrey said after looking at the ingredient list.
Amelia had returned to the Royal House last night and asked Audrey to go shopping with her today, so Audrey took the opportunity to check the pricing
of facial masks on the market.
“Do you like it? Then take it.” Amelia pointed to another product on the counter and said, “Wrap this one too, please.”
Audrey took out her card from her bag, but Amelia pressed her hand. “You’re accompanying me shopping today, so I’ll pay.” Amelia said.
“I should apologize to you because I didn’t inform you in time, which allowed Cecilia to meet Frank,” Audrey said apologetically.
The next day, Frank left with his mother, and now neither Cecilia nor Amelia had any news of him. The mother and son seemed to have vanished into thin
air.
“That’s a battle between me and Cecilia, and it has nothing to do with you.” Amelia paid the bill.
The waiter wrapped the goods and handed them to Audrey, then said, “Your husband’s mother is so good to you.”
Amelia and Audrey looked at each other. Amelia knew that Yann had announced his marriage and that many people online were guessing who his wife was, but since Audrey hadn’t agreed to reveal her identity yet, she couldn’t say that Audrey was her son’s wife.
Audrey called Amelia by her name because Amelia had divorced Logan, and Yann called her Amelia, so she had to follow suit.
The two smiled at each other.
“Isn’t she?” the waiter said in a panic, “I’m sorry, I thought you were…”
“You’re right,” Amelia said with a smile, putting her arm around Audrey’s shoulder. “She’s so excellent that she deserves the best.”
Audrey was praised in public for the first time, and her face turned red immediately.
Amelia took the shopping bag and stuffed it into Audrey’s hand. “That kid is so lucky to have you.”
“No, he’s too good for me,” Audrey said awkwardly.
Lillian was completely stunned after seeing what had just happened, feeling extremely complicated.
When Audrey was once Clayton’s wife, Lillian looked down on her. Now, in others‘ eyes, Audrey was excellent a buy such expensive facial masks for Audrey, but Lillian had never spent a penny on Audrey.
Served the best. Amelia could easily
Lillian followed them from a distance and saw the two stop at another luxury brand counter and buy several boxes of facial masks.
The shopping bags in Audrey’s hand became more and more, some bought for her by that noble lady and some bought by her for that noble lady.
After shopping for a while longer, the noble lady said something to Audrey, and Audrey then sat down in a rest area to wait.
Lillian walked slowly to Audrey and said, “Hi.”
Audrey smiled at her and said, “What a coincidence.”
Lillian wanted to sit next to Audrey, but there were many shopping bags beside her, and Audrey didn’t seem to want to move them. So Lillian had to sit opposite her.
“Audrey, Clayton has told me everything,” Lillian glanced at those shopping bags and forced a smile. “Clayton and Valerie grew up together. He mistook

friendship for love, which is why he did so many foolish things.”
Audrey leaned back in the chair and looked at Lillian with a polite smile.
Lillian had been following her for a long time. Audrey decided that as long as she didn’t bother her, she could treat her as a stranger.
However, since Lillian talked to her, Audrey also wanted to see what Lillian really wanted to do.

Seeing that Audrey didn’t respond, Lillian leaned forward. “Now that you’ve agreed to remarry Clayton, during this period, you can’t betray Clayton because of other rich men.”
In Lillian’s view, Clayton’s cheating on Valerie was a mistake that all men would make. Since he was willing to admit his mistake, Audrey should forgive and forget. As for Audrey, as a woman, she absolutely couldn’t date other men before remarrying her son.
After hearing this, Audrey couldn’t help laughing. “Mrs. Patel, you mean that your son cheated on me, and as long as he admits his mistake, he’s a good man, but if I look for a boyfriend, I’m being materialistic and have no sense of shame?”
Lillian looked uncomfortable but still insisted, “I agree to your remarriage on the condition that you don’t date other men. Otherwise….”
