Chapter 228

Valerie Will

~•~

I listened to Alexis’s advice.

But before I could reach out to Celeste, she reached out to me. So I decided to give her a chance to explain herself.

We agreed on having lunch at her house after school hours.

I didn’t have much to do, so I practically spent the entire day in my bed.

When it was almost thirty minutes to the agreed time, I started getting ready. In no time, I was done and on my way to her house.

As I pulled up at the driveway, I let out a deep sigh. I still remember the last time I showed up at her house — the door was broken and that was the day our friendship ended.

I hated that memory.

I killed the engine and stepped out of the car. By the time I got to the front door, Celeste had already opened the door.

“Hey,” I said quietly as I stepped into the house.

“Hey.” She smiled at me. “I’m so happy you agreed to come.”

I nodded. “Yeah.”

Things were still awkward between us.

As I got into the living room, I sat on the couch. A few mom

    Chapter 231Valerie Will~•~“Massimo has been arrested for Benjamin’s murder.” That was the first thing Patrick said when he stepped into my room. I gasped in shock. “Are you serious? How did they get him?” I asked, my voice filled with curiosity. Massimo always acted like he was untouchable. “Apparently, Jordan and the police have been working on the case for a while without my knowledge. They also found out that he was also responsible for Jordan’s accident.” My eyes grew wide in disbelief. “Are you serious? Why would he want to hurt Jordan?” I asked, shaking my head. Patrick shrugged. “I don’t know, but I’m just happy that he has been arrested.” He said with a relieved sigh. “Madeline also called to apologize to me, she says she is sorry for accusing me wrongly.” “That’s great…you and your sister are now good,” I said, running my fingers through my hair. He nodded. “Yes, you have no idea how happy I am.” He responded with a wide smile. “I hope they also find the person who

    Chapter 230Patrick Banks ~•~Did I make a mistake by assuming that Fredrick was out to take my company? Maybe I should have at least given him the benefit of the doubt. But it was hard to believe that he was being genuine when he said he just wanted to success of my company. But even if he was, it was too late. I had already caused a rift between us. A part of me wanted to apologize, but my high ego wouldn’t let me apologize. I didn’t say anything else, I just stood there quietly until he turned around and walked away. After he left, I closed the door and turned to Jordan. “Fuck!” I said through gritted teeth. “He shouldn’t have heard that,” I added, letting out a frustrated sigh. Jordan remained calm. “What do you want to do?” He asked, his narrowed gaze fixed on me. I shrugged my shoulders. “I have no idea and I don’t think there’s anything I can say to convince him that I was just joking…even if I do, I don’t think he’s going to back down.” I needed a glass of water. “B

    Chapter 229Patrick Banks ~•~I made sure to call my mom every day, just to check up on her health. Things were finally getting back to normal between us and I was sincerely grateful. I always made sure to be careful and choose my words wisely whenever I spoke to her. I didn’t want to say the wrong thing that would make her upset. For a while, our conversations had been filled with tension and I didn’t want to get back to that. I also asked her to talk to Madeline and convince her that I wasn’t responsible for anything. But she said she couldn’t do that part and it was up to me to prove to my sister that I was innocent. After my routine call with her ended, I made my way to the bathroom and indulged in a quick shower. Then I started preparing to leave for work. I dropped the kids off at school first before heading over to the office. When I got there, my assistant told me that Fredrick was showing up at the office later in the day. He wasn’t meant to tell me but he just wanted

    Chapter 227Patrick Banks ~•~Fredrick had been blowing up my phone but I intentionally ignored him. Whatever he had to say to me, he could tell my assistant and he would pass the message to me. I wasn’t in the mood to go back and forth with the man. I was even tempted to switch off my phone, but I didn’t want to miss any other important call or text just because of one man. A few minutes later, I got a call from my assistant. Letting out a deep sigh, I answered the call and pressed it closer to my ear. “So your phone is working after all, and you’ve been ignoring all my calls?” Fredrick’s angry voice echoed through the other end of the line. Damn, he caught me off guard. I would have known he would pull some move like that and wouldn’t have answered the call from my assistant. I exhaled sharply. “I’m sorry…what is the issue?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Why didn’t you show up to work today?” He demanded, his voice stern. “Do I have to show up to work every d

    Chapter 226Valerie Will~•~“Why didn't you tell me that you were taking the kids to school? They left without saying goodbye.” Patrick asked as soon as I stepped into the living room. I shot him a blank stare, eyebrows furrowed in mild confusion. “I had no idea you were awake, and I didn’t want them to disturb you…I thought you had work today.” He shook his head. “No, I’m taking a day off, Fredrick is coming into the office.” He replied, intertwining his fingers with Isla who was sitting on his lap. I blinked. “So that’s how it’s going to be? You’ll skip going to work whenever Fredrick shows up at the office?” Patrick nodded. “Exactly.” I sat down on the couch across from him. “Are you serious? What if you have a meeting with an important client?” He shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know, but I guess that would be an exception.” He replied, his voice quiet. I folded my arms around my chest and stared at him for a long second. “Do you think it’s okay to skip work because of hi
