บททั้งหมดของ That Stranger Lying Beside Me: บทที่ 271 - บทที่ 280

William was preparing to leave the hospital with Valeria, whose fever had gone, when the maid that Lucas had sent arrived with a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.  William reached over for the soup and poured a bowl for Valeria delightedly. It was obvious that she needed it after having four IV drips just now. However, Valeria refused to drink as she disliked the bitter taste of ginseng. William could only feed her slowly while persuading her with gentle words until she had finished the entire bowl. The maid was stunned as she never knew that William was such compassionate and gentle. When she left the hospital, she immediately gave Lucas a call to update him, "Sir William is fine, he gave the soup to Miss Brown because she wasn't feeling well." "Do you mean Sir William is not sick?" Lucas was stunned as there would be trouble again. "Yeah, he was just accompanying Miss Brown to the hospital," the maid continued, "They both finished the soup together tho

The man at the door was short and plump, and he appeared to be in his fifties. However, what stunned Valeria were his sharp and fierce facial features, and she couldn't help but shiver at his intimidating presence. While Valeria was observing him, he had also been paying attention to her as well. Valeria had a slim and hourglass figure that showed off her curves whenever she walked. Her dreamy round eyes and other exquisite facial features only further highlighted her beauty. She was indeed every man's walking wet dream. This gorgeous woman with such beauty and grace could catch anyone's attention! Ronald must be insane, why was he so eager to marry off this stunning daughter of his? Of course, now that Ronald himself had offered Valeria to Declan, he had no reason to refuse this amazing gift. When Ronald had sent him a picture of Valeria, he had decided to keep his expectations to a minimum. This was because, with the power of plastic surgery

William sat inside his office in Wolf Group with a strict expression on his face as he twirled the pen he was holding. Marcus reported, "What was Ronald thinking when he decided to bring Valeria to meet Declan in a VIP club lounge?" William chuckled coldly, "Are the results of Ronald and Valeria's paternal test out yet?" "They are. I sent their DNA out to ten different labs in three different cities so that the results would be accurate. It took a whole week, and the results were all the same. Ronald and Valeria aren't related at all!" "Ah! I see," William sighed in relief. "I had kind of expected this. After all, I didn't think that Ronald would commit these crimes against Valeria if she was his real daughter." "Ronald must have arranged for Declan and Valeria to meet so that he could push her into the tiger's den! Mr. Howard, I think we should deal with that lunatic as soon as possible!" Marcus exclaimed angrily. "I know, but I'm just worried

As Valeria and William got into their car after leaving the coffee shop, Valeria decided to tell William what had happened today, "William, my father must be trying to use me again!" Even though William had heard the news from Marcus, he still listened patiently as Valeria recalled the events that had happened to her. However, he could not control his anger although this was his second time hearing about Declan's disgusting actions.  Declan was in hot waters for trying to steal his wife. William patted Valeria's hand and comforted her, "Leave it to me, you'll be fine, I got your back!" "I'll be fine, Lamont will stop him anyways. I'm just upset at how heartless Ronald is! How could he do this to his own daughter?" "I guess we'll never understand the thoughts of a heartless b*stard like him." William sighed secretly as he pushed away from the temptation to tell Valeria the truth about her relationship with Ronald. He needed to get rid of Declan as soon as p

Could Valeria have plotted this scheme because she realised that his plans had failed? Valeria might not have been able to do this herself, but now that she was dating William from the Howard family, so she would have been able to get help from any of his bodyguards anytime. If Valeria was the mastermind behind his attack, then did that mean that she had found out about his plans? Ronald had grown even more suspicious of Valeria. He had gotten so suspicious of her that he was annoyed at the sight of her putting on a concerned facade in front of him. Even though he had no supporting evidence, Ronald believed that Valeria was the prime suspect behind his attack. In fact, he was convinced that she was currently in the room to admire the results of her plans. Ronald could not stand Valeria's mocking face any longer, so he grunted, "I have Kyrie here with me, so you all can leave first." "I'll stay with you," Julie refused as this would be a good opportun
