Mason stood at the side with a cold expression. Julie had been crying since just now, and he was utterly annoyed. He really had an urge to just turn around and leave. However, he decided to stay since Ashley was pregnant with his child, and that he was also partially responsible for the accident. Also, it may seem too cruel if he were to leave like this, so he waited patiently outside. Since Ronald was here, he decided to leave instead of enduring the annoying cries. Mason excused himself and said, "Aunty and uncle, I have something to do. I have to go now!" "Now? Don't you want to accompany Ashley here?" Ronald asked with an ugly expression. His daughter was unconscious and had a miscarriage, yet Mason still wanted to leave? Wasn't he heartless? "I have something that I need to do. I'll come back tomorrow! If there's anything you need, just let me know." Mason was being patient now. He knew that he could break off his relationship with Ashley now that the chi
Ronald comforted her while she cried. Just then, the sound of footsteps resounded in the corridor, and Valeria appeared at the ward. Upon seeing her arrival, Ronald glared at her and scolded, "You unfilial daughter, look at what you did to Ashley!" "It wasn't me who harmed her, she fell all by herself!" Valeria argued. "Valeria, Ashley is already in this state, you can't just deny responsibilities like that," Julie chimed in. "Let me repeat myself, I did not touch her. It was she who rushed over and fell!" "Ashley is so gentle and kind. She can't even bear to trample on ants. How could she pick a fight with you? You're lying through your teeth," Julie would never admit the truth and immediately refuted. "What? How could a kind person be so shameless and snatch away other people's man?" Upon seeing Ronald's fierce gaze, Valeria knew that he sided with Julie. Therefore, it was no use for her to defend herself. She looked at Julie and sneer
Valeria looked in the direction that Abbie pointed. At the entrance of Howard Group, William was walking down the stairs with his phone. Why was William here at the Howard Group? He looked like he was just exiting the building. At the thought of this, Valeria immediately asked, "Where are you now?" "Me? I'm at the entrance of the company." How could William be working here? Elizabeth alone could have given him a lot of trouble. Unless there was another reason for him to come here. Valeria thought about it and immediately added, "Which company are you working at?" "I'll tell you when I get back," He wasn't willing to say anything more, so he must be hiding something. Valeria felt her heart went cold for a moment. She couldn't imagine the consequences of William lying to her. What reason did he have to lie to her? She suppressed the question she wanted to ask, "Well, I'll wait for you at home then." After hanging up, Abbie snorted an
Richard nodded and immediately dialed a number, "They are at a night bar, come now!" "Who are you calling?" Upon hearing Richard's call, Abbie immediately questioned him. "A friend of mine!" "A friend that needs our whereabouts? Oh no, I think I'm going to puke! Bro, keep an eye on Valeria! I need to go to the washroom!" Abbie said and rushed to the washroom. Richard shook his head and sat down to look at Valeria, who was sleeping on the seat. A few minutes later, William rushed in. "Why is she so drunk?" "Who knows? You should get her into the car first. I'll be here waiting for Abbie." William immediately carried Valerie up in bridal style and left. Abbie vomited in the bathroom for a while and she staggered out. When she came back to the table, she saw that Richard was alone. Valeria was gone. She asked in horror, "Brother, where is Valeria?" "She's in the car outside." "Oh, then please hold on to me.
Valeria didn't sleep well that night as she had been having nightmares. In her dreams, people bullied her, so she cried helplessly to no avail. Valeria felt a hand wiping away her tears gently in a daze. She felt like she had found something to lean on. It was like the hand was her support system and she was nestling in his arms. William smiled when he saw she was onto his arm and he refused to let go. He lowered his head and gently kissed Valeria's face. She reached out to hug his waist and nestled in his arms. Soon, she fell asleep again. The next morning, Valeria opened her eyes and she felt that something was wrong. Her head seemed to be buried under something. She stiffly raised her head, and what came into her sight was a magnified handsome face. William looked at her with a gentle smile, "You're awake?" Valeria looked at William in a daze. After a while, she came to her senses and she pushed William away. William extended his arm and pul
Valeria arrived at Gorham City and knocked on Abbie's door. Abbie came out while rubbing her eyes, "Valeria... you're here?" Valeria entered the house dejectedly and sat down on the sofa, "Abbie, how did I end up with William last night?" "Uhm... Valeria, he didn't do anything to you, did he?" Abbie looked at Valeria's face carefully. "He didn't do anything to me, but I am furious. Why did he lie to me? I even said all those words to him before this. As I think about it now, I'm such a foolish!" Valeria began to complain to Abbie, "I gave him money and told him not to pretend to be rich. I also advised him to keep a low profile and even said I wanted to control his financial status. He must be dying of laughter on the inside." "Well, he's really despicable! My brother said William tried to explain to you but you didn't want to listen, so he just let it be." "He could have just told me who he is, but he didn't. He must have seen me as one of those
Mason entered the house with a bruised face. He still looked badly hurt after getting beaten up by William that day. He greeted Hayden the moment he stepped in. Hayden noticed his bruised face and hesitated before speaking, "Have a seat. Tell me everything you know." "Well, I don't know anything much. What I know is mostly about Valeria Brown. I don't even recognize Mr. William when I saw him yesterday. I thought he was the gigolo Valeria had taken an interest in." "A gigolo?" Hayden was furious. His eyes were suddenly filled with anger. Mr. William of the Howard Family was being regarded as a gigolo! He was Hayden's favorite son, man! This was infuriating! "No, it isn't me that called him a gigolo. It was Valeria who insisted that he's one," Mason quickly pushed the blame on Valeria, "Valeria met Mr. William at a nightclub and had since taken an interest in him by making him her sugar-baby." "This is unacceptable! Valeria must be a messed up w
Valeria spent the whole afternoon complaining, so Abbie brought her to Wolf Group to fill her stomach. Their car came to a halt at the entrance of Wolf Group. Right at this time, William's Bentley stopped beside their car. William sat in the car and looked at Valeria while she coldly ignored him. She didn't even spare him a glance. Abbie then pulled her into the building together. William shook his head and got out of his car. He just followed behind them. Noticing that William was following behind, Abbie whispered, "Valeria, William is behind us. Do you think he came to apologize?" "Just ignore him. I get mad when I see his face! His apologies are meaningless," Valeria scoffed. "Alright, as you wish. Let's pretend we don't know this person at all." As they spoke, they entered the elevator. William, who was behind them, strode forward. Just as the elevator door was about to close, he reached out to block the door and stepped right in.
