Chapter 221 The Anthony Family Has Bad Etiquette

Meanwhile, William wasn't as angry as Danya had imagined. He immediately went to call Valeria. He knew Valeria very well. She could even tolerate vicious and despicable people like Ashley and Mason. Why would she inexplicably try to fight Paisley's butler? William articulated his thoughts before he called Valeria, to which she answered almost instantly, "Yes?" "Valeria, did something happen between you and Ms. Anthony's butler?" "How did you know?" Valeria retorted, "Did she call you to complain about it?" "Yes. She said that you seem displeased with her and that you deliberately ask the maid to only cook spicy food so she couldn't eat. You even send the maid home and cleared out all the ingredients in the fridge on purpose. Is that true?" "Are you questioning me?" Valeria asked. "No, I know you're not that petty. Did something else happen?" "That's right, I'm not petty. But even you'd hit back when you're challenged again and again," Va

Chapter 222 The Nerve Of Her!

Danya thought to herself behind the door as Valeria carried on with her heated complaint. "You remember the servant Paisley brought with her? You won't believe how shameless she is. She had the audacity to come to question me when she's the one who started the fight. Jeez, just who does she think she is?" "No, of course, I didn't back down. That butler really thinks she's something else. I had to teach her a lesson. Since she can't handle spice, I asked the maid to prepare spicy food for lunch. Guess what? She skipped lunch! So I asked the maid to clear out the ingredients and go home. She must be starving now because there's nothing she can eat," Valeria couldn't contain her giddiness. "Oh right, she's not going to have anything for breakfast and lunch tomorrow too. I asked the maid to come back tomorrow afternoon." Danya was furious. Valeria never had the intention to order her food. Instead, she busy bad-mouthing about Danya to her friend. Valeria cont

Chapter 223 Seething Danya

Paisley breathed out in exasperation. "What do you mean? Just what did you do to provoke Valeria?" "Nothing. I just said you're close with William. What's wrong, Miss?" Danya asked in confusion. "William went back to check on Valeria because she told him you bullied her! He didn't come back to support you! Did you leave any evidence when you provoked Valeria?" Paisley fumed. Danya replied hesitantly, "I... I think not." "What do you mean by you think not? We have to be sure! Did you, or did you not leave any evidence?" Danya only realized the severity of Paisley's question and she mentally ran through the occasions she provoked Valeria. When she faked the call from Paisley in the morning, only Valeria and she were in the garden. Then, when she faked the call with Paisley in front of Valeria's door in the afternoon, Valeria had already sent everyone else in the villa away. Naturally, there was no one around when she went to find Valeria just now.

Chapter 224 Why Should I Admit

Valeria rolled her eyes, "Danya is putting on a show. She was arguing with me up until you came back a moment ago." "Why were you arguing?" William asked. "She said she picked fights with me because she wanted me to leave you. Apparently, Paisley has a crush on you." Valeria was answering truthfully. However, William took it as a joke. He put his arm around Valeria's waist and said, "Babe, not funny." "I'm not joking," Valeria pulled a straight face, "Danya said Paisley came here especially for you. She's here to seduce and steal you away from me." Danya freaked out when she heard Valeria complaining. But she was sure that she didn't leave any evidence when she provoked Valeria earlier. So, she had nothing to worry about. At the thought of that, Danya took a deep breath and began another round of howling as she headed downstairs. "She's lying! Why would I say something so outrageous?!" "Oh, now you deny it? Then who's the one that a

Chapter 225 Irrefutable Evidence

Lucas walked forward to support Paisley, "Ms. Anthony, please take it easy. You're not fully recovered yet. Please, sit down." Then, he helped her sit on the sofa as she was too feeble to walk by herself. Valeria grinned mockingly at Paisley's performance. "Ms. Anthony, you should've stayed in the hospital if you're still ill. What if you got worse during the ride back to Sydney?" "Miss Brown, do you have to be so cynical to Miss Anthony? She has done nothing wrong to you," Danya spoke up before Paisley could. "Stop, Danya!" Paisley cried out. Then, she turned to Valeria, looking apologetic, "Miss Brown, please forgive Danya. She didn't mean it. I would apologize on behalf of her." "Aren't you going to ask what happened before you apologize on her behalf? It seems like you already knew what she did," Valeria sneered. Paisley coughed weakly, "No, Miss Brown, I don't. I apologize because I failed to teach her manners." "You don't? Well then, I do

Chapter 226 Losing the Game

Paisley was rendered speechless. She never expected that Valeria would record Danya's taunting comments. She didn't even consider Valeria as her love rival before that! Paisley was ashamed. She slapped Danya in her face and hissed, "Look what you've done!" Then, she turned to William in embarrassment and said apologetically, "I'm sorry... Danya did this behind my back. I have no idea about everything she has done. I never know she could be this unlawful. I have no words to defend her with." It was a sign for Danya to take full responsibility. Taking the hint, Danya cut her act. "Yes, Miss Anthony had nothing to do with this. Valeria Brown, don't you dare to put the blame on her!" William looked coldly at Danya, "Why did you do all these?" "Because I hate her! We were in shock after the robbery on our first night here. Not only was Valeria unconcerned about the state we were in, but she was also gloating over our misfortune. She didn't even wait

Chapter 227 I Won't Give Up

Paisley trembled in anger and hatred after the realization. But there was nothing she could say for herself. Meanwhile, Lucas was also troubled by how little control they had over the current situation. He initially thought they could easily fool William, but it didn't seem like that was the case. What should they do next? Also, Danya's hit was surely a feigned attempt to get over the trouble, so it must have been nothing serious. It would have been awkward if William had stood guard and the doctor announced nothing serious about Danya. Lucas pulled a smile and suggested, "Sir William, it's quite late now. Maybe you and Miss Brown can go back to the villa to get some rest. Ms. Anthony and I will be fine here." William smiled faintly and agreed, "Okay then. Valeria and I will go back first. Just call me if there's anything urgent." Then, with Valeria in his embrace, William turned without hesitation. Naturally, Bobby went after them. Watching t

Chapter 228 No Blood Relation At All

Once Lucas left the ward, he called Hayden. Even though it was late, it was already breaking dawn back in their home country. Hayden was already up and taking his morning stroll in the garden. So, he answered Lucas's call immediately, "Morning! I expect good news from you if you're calling so early?" "No, Sir. Ms. Anthony failed," Lucas sighed, and he recounted what had happened earlier to Hayden. Hayden was silent even after Lucas had finished telling the story. Not knowing what Hayden was thinking, Lucas asked tentatively, "Sir, are you listening?" Hayden heaved a long sigh, "Yeah, yeah. I'm just wondering if I overestimated Paisley. Do you think she is capable to do this?" Lucas thought for a moment and answered gingerly, "Ye... Yes, I think she can. She must have failed this time because she underestimated her opponent. In fact, Miss Brown has caught everyone off guard tonight. After all, we have always thought that she only has a pretty face." "

Chapter 229 Unpleasant Realization

Ronald doubted the authenticity of the results. He jumped to his feet and instructed, "Bring me to the other two centers!" The test results from the second and third testing center were no different from the first report. Ronald's face was ashen. He stared at the three test results in his hands and he still couldn't believe that they were true. Based on the results, Valeria wasn't his biological daughter. Ronald was dumbfounded as he stared at the three identical test results. The fact that Valeria wasn't his own daughter meant something. It meant that Natalie cheated on him. Ronald clenched his jaw, fuming at how Natalie had treated him. Not only that she cheated on him, but she also let him raise another man's child as his own. No man should be put up with such humiliation. Then, Ronald, in a fit of rage, stumbled for a little while before passing out. The assistant was startled and he immediately sent Ronald to the hospital before informing

Chapter 230 I'll Be Frank

William frowned at the mess that he couldn't figure out. He raised his eyes and noticed that Valeria was already waving at him, asking him to go to her. Suddenly, he made a wild guess that Ronald might have done a paternity test with Valeria. It was said that daughters were supposed to look like their fathers. And Valeria did not even bore a bit of resemblance to Ronald. William's heart sank at the thought. Then, he quickly dismissed it because many children didn't resemble their parents. "Keep an eye on Ronald, will you?" He instructed Marcus. "I have a bad feeling about what he's going to do next." Then, he hung up and headed towards Valeria. She was pouting, "Who is that? Why do you need to answer that away from me?" He smiled, "It was an important call, and it's quieter over there." "Fine. Say, William, do you think I'm a little too unreasonable? I'm always worried that other better women out there will snatch you away from me. And given w
