Chapter 154
Valerie got the money ready and turned around to see Audrey whispering something to the shop assistant. When they saw her approaching, dev immediately fell silent.
Audrey still didn’t give up an
I Valerie again, “Ms. Patterson, didn’t you say you came to choose jewelry for the wedding?”
She continued, “This brooch is dispensable to you. Besides, if Clayton knows you bought emeralds for investment and made the wedding sloppy, he wil definitely be afraid you’ll embarrass his family.”
“It’s none of your business,” Valerie
The more Audrey didn’t want her to buy it, the more
she insisted on buying it.
After leaving Clayton, Audrey had become stylish, so there must be someone powerful helping her around. Valerie couldn’t give up such a good opportunity to make money. “Check out, please. I’ll take this emerald brooch,” Valerie said grandly to the shop assistant.
The shop assistant gave Audrey an apologetic smile, then said to Valerie, “Please check if there is any damage to this brooch. We don’t accept returns after the sale.”
“I won’t return it,” Valerie said. She was going to make a big profit out of it.
The shop assistant quickly processed the payment. Valerie first swiped Cheryl’s card and then used a loan. Soon, the beautifully packaged emerald brooch was presented to Valerie.
Audrey shook her head and sighed with regret, saying to the shop assistant, “What a pity. I had my eye on it. Be sure to notify me when the auction
starts.”
Valerie said, “I’ll notify you then.” Making money from Audrey was just as exciting to Valerie as stealing her man.
Audrey gave her a sideways glance and refused firmly. “It’s better for me to have no connection with the Patel family. Besides, since you know I like this brooch, you’ll definitely bid up the price on purpose.”
Valerie scoffed and rolled her eyes. She was determined to make money.
After Valerie pulled Cheryl out of the jewelry store, Audrey smiled at the shop assistant and said, “I should get a 10% commission for the sale just now, right?”
The shop assistant said with some apology, “Commissions are a service only available to our members.”
“Oh, I see,” Audrey said, getting up and walking into the VIP room.
Yann was sitting at the corner of the sofa, talking on the phone. The TV for VIPs to public welfare projects.

Government officials were surrounded by many people and guided work, and among the crowd was the head of Hawdia Group.
It was said that the woman who had slandered Yann in the restroom had injured her spine in a fall and was still in the hospital. She thought Audrey was from Hawdia Group, so she cursed Hawdia Group all day long.
Audrey sat on the sofa and continued watching the news. Paul seemed to have participated in the bidding, too, but she hadn’t heard any follow–up.
Yann hung up the phone and pulled her into his arms. “All settled?”
Audrey looked at the jewelry store manager and asked, “Does buying a ring

being a member?”
“Of course,” the manager said.
Audrey asked again, “just promoted a product for you. Should I get a commission?”

“Of course,” the manager said.
Audrey looked at the display case. She didn’t want to be too high profile, but Yanin wanted to glva far the bed. They fo choosing before finally picking a pair of simple matching rings.
In the car waiting for them, Calvin was passing the time by scrolling through his phone when he suddenly reelsed a seifica

He quickly clicked to check and saw a photo of Yann’s hand without any filters. A ring was on Yann’s ring finger.
Calvin was so happy. He thought, ‘Mr. Winifred can finally marry Ms. Henderson.
He was about to excitedly give a thumb–up, only to find that Quentin had given a thumb up before him. Calvin waited a dozen seconds and speed the tweet again, only to see that only Quentin had liked it.
Calvin thought, ‘Wait, what’s going on? With Mr. Winifred showing off so high profile, there must be many people sending congratulations, sinceraty or not, or asking about Mrs. Winifred’s identity. Is this tweet only visible to Quentin and me?”
In the store, Yann paid for the rings, and Audrey smiled as she accepted the commission for the emerald brooch.
In the Ironhaven Medical Center, Carson had just finished an important work report and was sitting back in his chair, exhausted, ready to rest for a while Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“Dr. Wilson, the bone marrow matching report urgently needed in Ashbourne has come out,” the nurse stood at the door, looking strange, as if she wanted to say something but held back.
Carson’s heart tightened. He quickly stood up and walked to the door, asking, “Is there a problem?”
He took the various test sheets from the nurse’s hand and opened them with a nervous heart. When his eyes fell on the name column where the match was successful, he froze instantly. It clearly read Clayton’s name.
Carson widened his eyes and said in disbelief, “Why would he do a bone marrow match?”
The nurse sighed helplessly and said, “His wife arranged it. She said her husband is a great man who would be willing to donate his internal organs to those in need even after death, and he would be even happier to help others while alive.”
Then, the nurse couldn’t help but roll her eyes, looking annoyed.
Listening to the nurse’s description, Carson sighed inwardly. Valerie was not as gentle and caring as she seemed, but cruel and selfish. “Does Clayton know about this?” Carson asked urgently.
The nurse shook her head and said, “I didn’t take the blood sample, but there is indeed his signature on the consent form.”
Carson quickly flipped the folder to the last page and saw that there was indeed Clayton’s signature on the bone marrow donation consent form, though the handwriting looked a bit awkward.
“The patient has an injury on his right hand, so the handwriting is different from before,” the nurse explained when she saw Clayton’s confusion, adding, “He’s your friend. You can confirm again. If there’s no problem, I’ll proceed with the process.”
“Okay, I’ll ask about the situation first,” Carson sald, temporarily keeping the file with him.
He had known Clayton for years. Although he didn’t know everything about him, he was familiar with his personality. idea of donating organs after death, let alone being so kind as to donate bone marrow to a stranger.

After finishing his work, Carson went to Clayton’s ward. Coincidentally, Emilia had come to visit and happened to be reporting the progress of the lawsuit to Clayton.
Chapter 154
Leo had not hesitated to drag Clayton down to seek a reduced sentence. According to him, it was Clayton’s idea that allowed the perpetrator to escape the charge of intentional injury in the case of the teenager’s death by beating.
He also said that Clayton, out of personal desire and regardless of his wife’s wishes, forcibly sent her to Ashwood Mental Hospital for a month and told Leo to “take good care” of her during that time.
Now that Malcolm had this confession, Clayton’s charge of illegal detention of his wife was basically confirmed.
Emilia said calmly, “The best way now is to get Audrey’s letter of forgiveness, otherwise…” Clayton was
facing a prison sentence of at least three years.
