Chapter 211
“I don’t agree.” Amelia walked out from behind and stood beside Audrey.
If Audrey divorced Yann, Yann would likely spend the rest of his life alone, and Amelia would lose completely in her battle with Cecilia.
Moreover, even if Amelia could tolerate Audrey being bullied, Yann could not. If Yann knew she had stood by and watched Audrey being bullied, he would probably cut off relations with Amelia immediately.
“Audrey is already married to my son,” Amelia patted Audrey’s shoulder and said arrogantly, “How dare you make such unreasonable demands of Audrey? Is he the richest man in the world or the most handsome man alive?”
Amelia sized up Lillian and then said disdainfully, “Your demands on Audrey sound stricter than those for selecting a crown princess, but you look like a beggar right now.”
Amelia’s voice was loud, and customers resting nearby all looked over to watch the drama. Lillian’s face turned pale, and the aftereffects of her stroke seemed about to flare up again. The corner of her mouth even began to twitch.
Lillian clenched her fists tightly, trying to keep herself calm. “Madam, I think you may have some misunderstanding.”
She glanced at Audrey and slowly said, “Audrey is my son’s ex–wife. She has promised my son she will remarry him, which shows she lied to your son.”
I know your son may be excellent, but Audrey just doesn’t love him. Besides, you clearly come from a noble family–how can you let a divorced woman marry into your family?” Lilian added.
After saying that, Lillian threw a pitying glance at Audrey. Since Clayton still loved Audrey, she could not let Audrey marry someone else, so she could only publicly damage her image in the eyes of this strange man’s mother.
Audrey felt Amelia’s hand on her shoulder tremble slightly. She held Amelia’s hand and said to Lillian seriously, “Since you have no shame yourself, don’t need to respect you. Don’t forget, your son is also divorced.”
“How can women be compared to men?” Lillian blurted out, “Women must be chaste.”
As soon as she said this, the onlookers began to murmur. “Is this person crazy? So openly practicing gender discrimination and using chastity to oppress
a woman.”
“Does she want her son to marry several wives?”
“Don’t you see how shabby she’s dressed? Maybe she wants her son to have as many children as possible, hoping one of them will become less failing than her.” Then, a snort of laughter arose from the crowd.
“No, that’s not what I meant,” Lillian said anxiously and tried to explain, “My son married someone else after divorcing her.” Lillian looked at Audrey resentfully and said, “Audrey, if you want to remarry my son, don’t ruin his reputation.”
Audrey sneered, “Your son was cheated out of everything by a gold digger and is in poor health. Why would I marry a penniless, weak man?”
Lillian trembled with anger and widened her eyes. “How dare you humiliate my son? You’ll never set foot in the Patel family!”
“Thanks a lot.” Audrey raised her hand and waved it at Lillian. The ring on her ring finger was simple in style, and the diamond in the center was not large, but its cut was exquisite, reflecting a dazzling light.
In her daze, Lillian heard Audrey’s calm yet joyful voice. “I’m already married. My husband is an excellent person who treats me very, very well. Please stop harassing me and my family, or I will use legal means to defend my rights.”
She held Amelia’s hand, picked up the shopping bags, and prepared to leave. Amelia felt as proud as if Audrey had praised Yann for herself.
She helped Audrey carry a few bags, turned back to look at Lillian, and said, “If you want to find a wife for your son, you can post his information on a dating website.”

Amelia added, “But since your son is penniless and has been divorced twice, no one will probably click on his profile.” With that, she pulled Audrey sway.
Lillian collapsed into a chair, muttering to herself.
The onlookers watched for a while and dispersed after finding staring at an old woman boring.
By the time Lillian came to her senses, it was almost dark. She took out her phone and called Clayton. “I–I don’t agree…
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Clayton was confused.
“I don’t agree with you remarrying Audrey.” Lillian covered her face and sobbed. “She actually dared to humiliate me in front of so many! I firmly oppose her marrying you again.”
Clayton was in a coffee shop for negotiations. Hearing Lillian’s distressed state, he quickly apologized to the other party and got up to leave the coffee shop. “Did you see Audrey?” Clayton asked wearily.
He had told his family countless times not to provoke Audrey, but they just wouldn’t listen to him.
Clayton irritably reached into his pants pocket for a cigarette, took out an empty pack, crumpled it up, and threw it into the trash. He asked, “What did you say to her again?”
Lillian cried as she said, “She called you trash and said you have nothing now… She dared to humiliate me before marrying you–once you’re married, she’ll definitely bully me to death.”
“Clayton, there are so many women in the world. Don’t want that kind of fickle whore,” she added.
“Mom-” Clayton interrupted her impatiently, “Calm down and listen to me. Think about how Dad went to prison and why Wyatt got transferred…”
His law firm had suddenly closed down just as business was improving, and Audrey had suddenly become the largest shareholder of Stride Commerce. He said, “Do you still think Audrey is ordinary?”
Lillian gradually stopped crying and said unwillingly, “She framed our family.”
“So, if she has the ability to bring us down, she also has the ability to help us rise again. As long as we can make Audrey change her mind, we can get her to help turn our family’s situation around,” said Clayton.
He suppressed anger and continued, “Mom, I really have nothing left. I can only use my sincerity to make Audrey come back. Please stop making trouble for me.”
Clayton had realized that, but Lillian did not agree. That young woman could only mess things up and had no ability to revitalize the Patel family.
“I think you’re obsessed. First you insisted on marrying Valerie, and now you want to win back Audrey. You’re pathetic, thinking that what you can’t have is good even if it’s garbage,” Lillian scolded.
Clayton said helplessly, “Mom-”
“Fine, I’ll never care about your affairs again. It’s your own destiny,” Lillian said resentfully and hung up the phone.
Clayton let out a long breath. He turned around, went back into the coffee shop, and sat down in front of the man. “How’s your brother’s case progressing?”
Timmy played with a lighter and looked at Clayton disdainfully. He had previously gone to Clayton’s law firm for his brother’s case of the manslaughter of a police officer.
At that time, Clayton had said he needed to consider it, and later, Blackthorn Legal had been suspended. “As far as I know, your lawyer’s license has been revoked,” Timmy said.
Clayton clenched his fists and nodded. “Although I can’t appear in court to defend him directly, I can prepare the pleadings, and another lawyer can
attend the defense.”

“I’ve studied your brother’s case. If I do the defense, he can get a sentence reduction of five to ten years. I won’t charge a fee. I just need you to do me a favor,” he added.
