Chapter 408 Mary was already quite exhausted. Upon receiving the hot drink and food at the estate, she heartily drank two large bowls of stew and even asked if she could have another bowl.

Carissa placed a stack of banknotes, amounting to ten thousand silver coins, along with the stew on the table. Mary's eyes widened in shock; she looked up at Carissa, visibly trembling with awe and emotion. She had spent two days raising only seven hundred silver coins.

As Mary struggled to find words in her astonishment, Helen. interjected from the side, "Bringthe box for storing the banknotes. Give her twenty thousand silver coins." As Carissa's mother-in-law, it was only right to support her daughter-in-law, and to do so generously. Mary stood up in excitement, her tears nearly spilling over.

"Please, don't be so overwhelmed. Sit down, Madam Clayton," Carissa said, concerned that the old woman's emotional response. might lead to a health issue.

Mary's granddaughters-in-law couldn't help but be moved to tears as well.

One of them, unable to hold back, said, "When we went to the Warren family today, we didn't intend to ask them for a donation. We knew they had their own difficulties with successive marriages. But Grandmother was exhausted and thirsty, so we hoped to get a bowl of stew.

"To our surprise, as soon as we knocked on the door, Madam Auroral cout and asked why was our grande other, at her age, out begging? it was disgracefull But howGrandmother have even » Copperin her pocket? She alread,nated most of her own private funder Silence Mary scolded sharply.

Despite her reclusive nature, Mary knew well about the past Vetween the Warren family and the Hell Monarch's princess consort. Such matters were not to be brought up at this moment.

The granddaughter-in-law, chastised, quickly apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring it up. Seeing how Lady Helen and Lady Carissa 25 generously donated madeefhotional Thope you will forgive my indiscretion, Lady Carissa." Flustered and at a loss for words, Mary's granddaughter in law desperately wished to clanty that she had no ill intentions and was only wiring her grandmother in law's grievances.

Realizing that Mary's granddaughter in law was talking about her daughter in law's old adversary, Helen becenraged.

Before Helen could finish her words, Garissa Interjected, "Madam Clayton, you're performing an act of kindness Kind deeds often invite coticism. It is this endurance of hardship and eritietam that earned you the title of 'sant. Please don't let this bother you." Helen changed her tuns, saying, "Vee, not everyone will understand Your true intentions. There will always be those who assthe worst of others. Vie should focus on doing our part and not be concerned with the opinions of such people Helen had becquits adept at ng nating conversations like this.

Mary smiled gratefully.

"Lady Helen, Lady Cerissa, you're both quite right. It's from the bottom of my heart that I say this: once you undertake a good deed, you should not worry about criticism. If you fear criticism, then you should refrain from doing good. Previously, I used sof my private funds to send over a batch of cotton clothing, but it was only a small contribution. With these funds now, we can do so much more." "Your kindness will surely bring you more blessings and a long life," Carissa responded warmly.

"That is not what I seek. I only wish to act with a clear conscience," Mary said, smiling and waving her hand.

Before that, she turned and formally addressed Helen and Carissa, 'I will send a donation list to the .n

authorities. Whether they will.

After they left, Helen expressed her confusion, "Is Aurora out of her om mind? How could she dare to insult the matriarch of the Marquis of Jadehill's family? She's a revered and respected figure." Violet replied, "Perhaps she had just quarreled with someone at the residence and was in a fit of anger. Seeing Madam Clayton's arrival and knowing she was there for

donations, Aurora lashed out. She's known to be a little crazy now. Let's focus not worry about her we should foo of doing good ourselves. I'd donate smoney too if I had more on hand." X
