《That Stranger Lying Beside Me》全部章節：第 221 章 - 第 230 章

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

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

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

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." "

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
