Valeria had purposely searched online to look for shops that replicated stamps privately in B City. Once she found one, she immediately rushed to the shop and paid a huge sum of money for the shop to fabricate the Brownard Group's stamp.  After the seal was made, she rushed back to the Central South Building. Valeria had just parked her car when she saw Kyrie. He had one eye bandaged, and he was getting off his car hurriedly with his bag in his hand. Kyrie was Ronald's slave. He was the one in charge of helping Ronald carry out his dirty deeds. Then, Valeria rushed towards him and greeted him, "Mr. Gibson, you're coming back to work? How's your eye? You should've taken an extended break." Hearing her voice, Kyrie turned and hastily tried to hide the bag that he was holding as he stammered, "Good morning, Miss Brown... I mean, Vice President Brown!" "You don't have to address me so formally. It's just a powerless title given to me," Valeria smiled and said.

Wearing a cap and a pair of sunglasses, Lamont had arrived in West-Hill cafe and was scrolling through his phone while waiting for Archer. Around ten minutes later, he heard footsteps coming his way as Archer entered the coffee shop through the front door.  Then, Lamont stood up to greet him, "Mr. Saunders!" Archer gestured for him to sit before asking, "What's wrong? Why are you looking for me so urgently?" Next, Lamont nodded, "Yes, I wanted to ask a quick favor from you. It's about Miss Valeria Brown." "Valeria? Do you mean Natalie's daughter?" A mysterious expression flashed across Archer's face a while before disappearing. "What about her?" "Valeria came to me for help when she heard that Ronald was preparing to transfer his funds. As you know, I'm not too knowledgeable about business issues, so I thought I'd ask you. Valeria is just a helpless young child, surely you have some idea to help her, right?" Lamont explained. After that, Archer

Valeria arrived outside Howard Group half an hour later, but there was no sign of William. She had no choice but to park her car before calling William, "Hey, I'm here, are you coming down soon?" "I'm coming!" William answered as he grabbed his coat before leaving his office. Steven, who had been working outside the door, looked up to William with a smile before greeting him, "Are you leaving now, Sir?" "Yes!" "Sir Hayden has requested you to wait for him, Sir." "What? Why do I have to wait for him?" William paused. Steven sighed and scratched his head, trying to evade William's sharp gaze. "He wants you to go to the company dinner with him and Ms. Anthony, but his driver's out running an errand so you all can only leave later." "Alright," William agreed readily, "I'll meet you all downstairs then." Steven heaved a sigh of relief at his answer. He was fully prepared to deal with William's anger, but it appeared that he got lucky as Willia

How could he see through the meaning behind her words? William completely ignored what Elizabeth had said, it was as if she wasn't even there.  Elizabeth on the other hand wanted to disappear into thin air out of embarrassment as she had gotten no reply. Did William think that she would give up just because he had ignored her? Elizabeth was clear about the feelings Paisley's feelings towards William. Paisley should be burning with jealously now as William and Valeria were flirting with each other in front of her. All she needed to do was to give Paisley a little push and she could get into Paisley's good graces. Paisley must be desperate for someone to step in and back her up right now.  Elizabeth decided to suck up to Paisley instead by filling up her plate, "Miss Anthony, I hope you're enjoying the food. How is it working with William?" "It's alright," Paisley replied coldly, having heard about all of Elizabeth's cunning tricks. Paisley was smart e

In Merton Condominium, Mason had just finished his shower when his doorbell rang. He opened the door and the sight of a haggard Elizabeth greeted him. "Aunt Elizabeth, why are you here? What happened?" Elizabeth kicked her shoes off angrily and made her way to the sofa before sighing heavily, "William embarrassed me in front of all the other executives tonight!" "That b*stard embarrassed you? How dare he do so?" Mason had never gotten along with William. "Our great Sir William is the next head of the Howard Family, who would dare to stop him from doing so?" Elizabeth smiled coldly, bummed out at the events that had happened. "After the dinner tonight, I realised that they never treated me like one of their family members after all. Hayden, Charles, William, none of them recognise my efforts! It's even more annoying because I can't do anything about it!" Mason was furious after hearing about Elizabeth's complaints, "The Howard family has gone too far!
