Seeing Audrey soften a bit. Clayton quickly said, “I promise I’ll just do my job and won’t bother you.”
Tiffany looked at Audrey, angry but conflicted. Flora’s words were harsh but true.
Luther and Paul’s cooperation was set in stone. Audrey and Clayton’s conflict wouldn’t cancel it.
Basiness people only cared about profit, Even if Paul know Flora was deliberately targeting Audrey, he’d just make her take the hit first.
Audrey and Tiffany exchanged a reassuring look. Audrey turned to Flora. “Miss Shi, please lead the way.”
Flora rolled her eyes triumphantly, “You should’ve known you couldn’t get out of my hands–tter behave!”
She gestured to Clayton to stay close and led the group toward the assembly line.
Flora deliberately provoked, “Mr. Patel, why did you divorce Audrey? Is it because she’s restless and always flirting with men outside?”
“No…” Clayton tried to deny it, but Flora gave him a warning look
Flora’s commission was his only current income, so he couldn’t afford to ruin that.
“It’s not that.” Clayton quickly glanced at Audrey. “It’s because she gets violent when her emotions are unstable”
Audrey acted like she didn’t hear and seriously checked the production line certificates with Tiffany.
“Violent tendencies?” Flora raised her voice on purpose, handing the certificate to the manager. Her hand trembled, and the certificate fell to the floor.
Flora sneered and walked over to Audrey. “Audrey, I’m in charge here. If you get emotional and unstable, I’ll fight fire with fire. I advise you to behave, or else… Her eyes were full of maticn
Audrey gave Clayton a cold glance. Clayton quickly turned his head away, feeling guilty for saying that. Audrey then looked back at Flora
Flora was still arrogant and overbearing. “If you can’t handle this job, get Edana to do it. A little secretary dares to challenge me? Not happy about it? Either leave or keep quiet!”
Audrey didn’t put up with her and immediately took out her phone to make a coll
Flora thought she was calling Paul to complain, her mocking expression growing stronger. She had already arranged with Edana that at this time, Edana would be bothering Paul so he wouldn’t pick up Audrey’s call
“I’m reporting! Blackthorn Legal has shut down for reorganization, yet Clayton still scams people as a lawyer! And he’s attacked me personally. humiliated me, and slandered me?
Clayton reacted faster than Flora. Hearing it was a report against him, he immediately tried to grab the phone.
Although he was a bad example in the industry, ordinary people didn’t know. If this got big, he’d never get work again
Normally, he might have succeeded, but he was slow today after being beaten up by several people yesterday.
Tiffany saw his change in expression and quickly pulled over a nearby m
male manager.
Clayton bumped into the manager and lost balance, nearly reaching into a spinning machine
“Ah! You’re trying to kill him Flors screamed, terrified. Who would be responsible if there was a production accident?
Tiffany quickly raised her hand. “I was defending myself” Then she looked at Audrey, “Right?”

Audrey nodded. “Exactly! Self defense, emergency avoidance.”
“Audrey Clayton struggled to stand, his face pale. “Do you have to push me to death to calm down?”
“Getting angry wastes my emotional energy. You’re not worth it” Audrey looked at him with contempt. “Reporting crimes is every citizen’s duty!”
Flora’s eyes were practically shooting fine. She glared at Clayton unhappily, then challenged Audrey “Audrey, you say Mr. Patel slandered you. Can you prove it?”
Flora pointed to the ceiling. “This surveillance, I can break it anytime I want. Do you believe me!”
Clayton hurriedly looked at Audrey’s neck.
She used to wear a ruby necklace with a pinhole camera inside, recording the Patel family humiliating her and her father threatening her–her biggest weapon against them.
Seeing Audrey’s neck was bare, Clayton finally relaxed, leaning on a table gasping for breath. His ribs seemed cracked; deep breaths hurt.
Judicial staff and police enforced the law together. The male manager immediately contacted Luther, who rushed over and slapped Flora hard.
Flora covered her face in anger and grievance, glaring at Audrey. “It’s this bitch who reported me!”
“I’m Audrey’s lawyer and will hold Clayton and Flora accountable for slander and defamation against my client.” Malcolm appeared from behind the judicial staff.
was no chance; now when he didn’t want to see him,
“Senior brother?” Clayton stared wide–eyed, shocked. When he wanted to see Malcolm, there w Malcolm suddenly appeared!
Malcolm didn’t even glance at him and nodded slightly to Audrey, then walked over and quietly spoke to her, “I have my reasons, I can explain Audrey. help me explain…”
No matter how Clayton pleaded, the authorities took him away. He kept looking back unwillingly but it was useless
Flora wanted to say
to say something else but Luther gave her a fierce warning look. Then he turned to Audrey with a gentle smile. “Audrey, let’s talk in the office. Audrey was willing
In the office, Flora grudgingly spent 300 dollars and personally poured coffee and apologized to Audrey.
“Sorry, I didn’t know Clayton’s law firm shut down. Everything Clayton told you before…
Audrey tapped her fingers twice on the table and calmly accepted the coffee.
Flora’s face turned dark with anger. She deliberately poured the cup full so Audrey couldn’t lift it.
Audrey didn’t even blink, picked up the cup, and poured the extra water onto the table.
“Ah!” The scalding water dripped onto Flora’s foot, making her jump and scream.
She looked tearfully at Luther, wanting him to back her up, but Luther, who saw everything gave her a look full of hatred.
Flora angrily put down the teapot and ran out of the office. Tiffany picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup.
“Audrey, Flora is my friend’s child studying here, didn’t raise her well, she’s too spoiled.” Luther smiled but his weren’t joking.

If it was just Clayton, it would be easier, but if digging deeper they found the Lawyers who helped with company mergers, it’d be a big mess. No company’s clean, after all.
Audrey said nothing slowly sipping her coffer.
