Chapter 231 Marry Her to A Widower

"Huh?" Ronald was dumbfounded at first, but his confusion quickly turned into pure joy when he realised that Hayden didn't want Valeria to marry William as well. He was concerned that William might become a problem when he decided to deal with Valeria. But since Hayden disliked Valeria, surely he would prevent William from saving Valeria. It would be easy to deal with Valeria as Ronald could use that to his advantage. He couldn't contain his happiness at all as he nodded, "That's what I think too, Hayden. Don't worry, I'll keep her away from William." On the other hand, Hayden was equally surprised that things played out so smoothly. He never expected Ronald to agree to his suggestion so quickly. Suddenly, it dawned on him that Ronald might look down on William like how he looked down on Valeria, and Hayden was uncomfortable with that. Although William could be uncooperative at times, he was still a cultured gentleman. Therefore, Ronald, of all peopl

Chapter 232 Simply Impossible

The next day, Valeria and William landed at the international airport at B City after being on a plane for nearly twenty hours. It was only a few hours away from dawn as they touched down, but Valeria was wide awake because she had rested well on the plane. She wanted to go to Abbie's quickly, and William generously dropped her at where she wanted. Abbie had been walking to the living room groggily to check on the noises when she saw someone unexpected. She squealed, "Valeria! Why didn't you tell me you're coming back!?" "Surprise!" Valeria laughed and handed Abbie's souvenir to her. "This is for you. Open it up and tell me if you like it." "I know I'll love it," Abbie answered without even looking at it, "Give me a few minutes. I'll wash up, and we'll have breakfast at Wolf Group. I'm paying today!" Valeria took a seat on the sofa and smiled at her words, "Hurry up then. I'm starving already." She didn't wait long. Abbie returned to the living

Chapter 233 Sooner Than Later

Ashley was scolding an employee harshly with a furious expression on her face. "Are you deaf? Didn't I tell you that you have to arrange them in a specific way? You never listen to what we've told you. Just quit if you don't care about your job here, many other people are waiting to take your place after all!." Valeria frowned as soon as she noticed that Ashley was wearing the company's uniform. It was evident that Ashley was working in the company that Natalie had built up. Ronald had worn off whatever respect Valeria had left for him by letting his out-of-wedlock child work at Natalie's company. Valeria's face fell and Abbie, as her best friend, wasn't very happy to see Ashley acting so snobbish either. She seized the opportunity to bring Ashley down. Abbie scoffed as she strode over to Ashely, "Look who's here. Isn't this Miss Evans who enjoys stealing others' boyfriends and bad-mouthing about others? What are you doing here acting all high and mi

Chapter 234 Leaving Something Behind

After Valeria and Abbie left the Central South Building, there was a serious expression on their faces. Abbie thought that Valeria was angry because Ashley was working in Brownard Group, so she comforted her. "Valeria, Ashley is deliberately provoking you. You don't have to take it to heart. When the time comes, you can ask your father to kick her out." Valeria shook her head, "Abbie, I'm not angry because of that. I just feel strange. Why would my dad let a woman like Ashley work as a design supervisor in the company?" Abbie thought about it for a moment, "Julie and Ashley probably begged your father for it. And this was the result a lot of coaxing and pestering." "No! I don't think so. My dad is not so softhearted. He only thinks about the profits. He is so heartless with me, but he treats Ashely so considerately. Something must have happened that I don't know about." "That's true. I'm curious now. You were so obedient and filial before. Why does he trea

Chapter 235 The Key Inside the Safe

Valeria opened the safe and took out all the things inside. Her mother's shares of the company and some books were inside the safe, as well as the property ownership certificate of the villa alongside other company items. These were all things that were displayed as a distraction. Valeria knew that and she searched the safe for a while longer but she did not find anything else. She didn't give up and she continued to search. Finally, she found a string of keys and a business card under the compartment of a box. There were two words on the business card, Lamont Saunders, and a phone number below it. She had never heard of this name, but since her mother had put the key and business card in such a secret place, it must have been important. Valeria decided to look for him as she dialed his number. A low male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, who is it?" "My name is Valeria Brown, daughter of Natalie Garcia. Mr. Saunders, c

Chapter 236 Living Up to His Rumors

After hearing Abbie's words, Richard was stunned for a moment, "Lamont Saunders? Why are you looking for Lamont?" Looking at his expression, it seemed that he knew this person. Abbie was excited, "You know this person, right? Tell me, who is he?" "I know a person named Lamont, but I'm not sure if he's the same person you are referring to. You have to tell me why you want to know about him," Richard said slowly. Abbie had to tell the truth, "I'm not looking for this person, it's Valeria who is looking for him." Richard's narrowed his eyes, "Is that so? Do you know why she is looking for him?" "Here's the thing. Her mother left her a name card in the safe and asked her to find the person in the card when she is in trouble. The name on the card is a guy named Lamont Saunders." Abbie took a breath and said, "I am a little worried about her. After all, I don't know this person and I have never heard of him, so I want to find out who he is." After he

Chapter 237 As Long As I Like

Abbie stared at Michael's lips as he kissed her. The shock made her mind go blank. Michael wanted to punish her for talking nonsense to slander him. However, after he kissed her, he did not want to stop at all. Seeing her stare at him foolishly with her big and round eyes, he reached out his hand to cover them. When her eyes were covered, she couldn't see anything, and her mind was in a state of confusion. The familiar sensation she felt from his lips made her stop struggling. As she lost her sight, a few chaotic memories came flooding into her brain. It was full of scenes with Michael in it. His gentleness and romanticness flashed across her mind. It was strange. Did she and Michael had a thing? Otherwise, why would she be seeing these scenes? She tried to grasp those fleeting memories, but it was futile. The kissing sensation brought her back to her senses. Michael, this shameless b*stard! Ashamed, she gave him a big slap across his face.

Chapter 238 Troubled Heart

William strode out of the house while Bobby followed him closely. After getting into the car, William let out a sigh and he punched the headrest. Bobby hesitated when he saw that William was so angry, "Sir William, why did you choose this time to talk to Mr. Howard about this?" "I just wanted to get the gist of what was going on," William let out a sigh of relief, "It's okay though, this is all expected. I'm not mad about this." These words made Bobby confused. Wasn't he angry because Hayden didn't like Valeria? He thought about it and immediately asked, "Why are you angry then?" "I... Forget it. I'll tell you later!" William picked up his phone and called Valeria. However, her phone was busy with another call, so he put his phone away gloomily and said, "Let's go to Wolf Group!" Valeria put everything else back in the safe and she began to ponder with the bunch of keys in her hand after Abbie left. She had never seen this bunch of keys befor

Chapter 239 Only A Signature Left

Although Ronald had tried his best to suppress his anger, Valeria, who had been observing him, still caught the flash of resentment in his eyes. Her heart dropped. There was something wrong with his gaze. It was not the expression of a father looking at his daughter, but an expression of hatred towards his enemy. Why did Ronald look at her like that? Valeria suspected that he had done the paternity test that related to her and this just confirmed her suspicion. She felt a little scared. If Ronald really did carry out a paternity test on her because of Julie and Ashley's manipulation, the results would definitely not be good. Ronald's attitude towards her was so bad before. Now that he had proof that she was not his daughter, how could he speak so kindly to her? He must have a purpose tonight! Valeria became alert. Since she had doubts, she was naturally silly enough to trust him. Valeria immediately picked up her phone and sent a message to William,

Chapter 240 I Wish I Could Beat Her Up

She thought to herself as Ronald spoke again, "Did you find the person I asked you to look for?" "Not yet. Miss Evans said she has a suitable candidate. Why don't you go back and ask her?" "Okay, send Valeria home today!" Ronald looked at Valeria on the sofa in disgust, "I wish I could beat her up now!" Goosebumps rose all over her body when she heard such vicious words. Ronald reached out and pushed her, "Valeria! Valeria!" She continued to remain motionless. He helped Valeria up and out of the restaurant with Kyrie before putting her into the car. Kyrie started the car and they drove away from the restaurant. Valeria closed her eyes and continued to pretend to faint. In her heart, she wondered what the hell William was doing. Why was there no news from him at all? Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a crash and the car collided with something. She heard a pained cry in her ear, "F*ck, my new car!" The car tire explo
