Noticing that she was being teased by William in front of Abbie and Richard, Valeria was extremely speechless. She shook William's hand away and changed a seat. The smile on William's face disappeared. Richard had known him for so many years and he understood him better. Of course, William was not so shameless. He already put down his ego to be so nice to Valeria today and yet she gave him a cold shoulder. Of course, William would be unhappy! He picked up a bottle of wine and poured some for William, "You like barbecue, don't you? Eat more!" William remained silent as he lowered his head to eat. He drank a lot of wine speedily but didn't really eat much. Seeing that he kept drinking, Richard reached out to stop him, "Hey, don't drink too much. It's bad for your health, you know?" "I'm fine," William drank another glass of wine. Richard looked at Valeria and said, "Miss Brown, please talk to him. He doesn't have a good stomach and he's gonna end u
Ronald called Charles to complain while Julie went to the bedroom with Ashley. After Julie closed the door, her face turned evil, "That little b*tch! How dare she treat us that way! I'm gonna make her pay!" "Mom, do you have any plans?" Ashley asked. "I'm going to expose to the media that we've been driven out tonight, and also reveal the truth about your father's poor background!" Julie answered. Ronald was born into poverty, and he had been living a smooth life these years. He might have already forgotten that he was once poor. This time Julie was going to use Ronald's background as news! "Mom, are you out of your mind? If you reveal that, the public will really be mad at us! Plus, dad will hate us for it!" Ashley immediately objected. "Our reputation has already been ruined. Why would I be worried if I do one more thing? It's your father who has been making himself look like a noble. If we exposed what happened before, he would definitely be fu
In the Howard family, when Hayden was about to rest, Charles came over. As soon as he entered the door, he began to complain, "Dad, Ronald just called me and said that William sent bodyguards to stir trouble in his house. Not only did they hurt him but also hurt his daughter and his pregnant girlfriend. They went too far." "They hit her daughter? Do you mean William sent someone to attack Valeria?" Hayden's face was filled with shock. "Not Valeria. It's Ronald's other daughter," Charles explained. "Ronald has a mistress and they had a daughter together. Now the mistress is once again pregnant and they fought with Valeria, so William was helping her out." "Oh! William has indeed gone too far," When Hayden heard that it had something to do with Valeria, he was unhappy. "Yeah, William went overboard indeed. He allowed his men to bring others trouble! Fortunately, Ronald didn't blame him for my sake. If he really wanted to punish him, it would be difficu
Scratching his head, Lucas said, "Sir William didn't expose to Miss Brown who he really is. So Miss Brown thinks that he's just a gigolo from a nightclub." "What! That's ridiculous!" "Miss Brown even sold her jewelry worth 100 million dollars to redeem Sir William from the nightclub." "That is simply absurd! How could the grandson of the Howard family be thought as something so degrading!" Hayden said angrily and was overwhelmed with fury. "Does William even look like a gigolo? With his posture and demeanor, no one would ever think he was one. That woman, Valeria Brown, must have done it on purpose." Hayden didn't believe that Valeria would be so generous to a mere gigolo, "She must have known who William is so she did this to get close to him." "Uhm... I don't think so," Lucas hesitated and said, "Miss Brown seems to be naive. She asked to break up after knowing his real identity. "She's probably just playing hard to get. I know what games wom
The door shut with a loud bang and Valeria shuddered. Looking at the dishes scattered on the floor, a guilty feeling arose in her heart. Did she say something wrong? She was so angry that she couldn't remember what she had said. William had never smashed anything in front of her. This was the first time he did that and it was frightening! He must have been furious. Obviously, she had offended him today. Whatever then, so be it. It was not as if she expected him to be good to her for the rest of her life. They could just go their separate ways from then on. William left the condominium in anger and he got on his car. He then sped off away from Lake View Nest. He went straight to Wolf Group Hotel. Once he arrived, he met Michael and Richard. They were shocked when they saw his dark expression, "What happened?'' ''I am pissed off! They say that women are unreasonable creatures. I didn't really believe it until today," William answered
Once she received her father's call, Valeria rushed to the office. She was prepared to get scolded once she arrived. But instead of scolding her, he smiled when he saw her. He said, "You're here. Let's have lunch together." "Have lunch?" Valeria asked in confusion. She looked at him and wondered if he wanted to have lunch or her head. Ronald was about to explode in anger as he was sure that Valeria was behind this. But judging by how the news had spread, he did not dare to scold her. What he had to do then was to suppress the news. The online rumors had claimed that they had got into a huge fight. So now, he wanted to make sure news of him and Valeria being chummy again would spread online. He held in his anger and pulled Valeria's hand as he walked out. "Come on, let's have your favorite steamboat today." What was happening? Valeria was stiff as she was dragged out of the company. On their way to the restaurant, there were people taking pictur
Ronald looked at Mr. Anthony like a little kid staring at his favorite chocolates in a candy store. It was evident that he wanted to please Mr. Anthony as well. Valeria was a little dispirited and embarrassed when she looked at her father. She replied gloomily, "I just met him today." "Really? I was wondering why you had never told me about it! Mr. Anthony, Valeria is quite bad at socializing and she has a bad temper. Please forgive her if she offended you in any way." "No, Miss Brown is smart, kind, and cute. It is such a blessing to have a daughter like her," Hardy praised Valeria sincerely. "Really? I was worried that she might have offended you. I'm relieved that you think that way. It's running quite late now, do you want to have dinner together? You can decide on the location, Mr. Anthony." "Dad!" Valeria's expression changed immediately but her father was oblivious to this. "Would you care to do me this honor?" Hardy felt a little dismayed whe
The woman who saved his father was Paisley Anthony. Her face was red with sweat and heat while smiling shyly at him. Seeing this, Hayden was confused, "William, do you know this kind-hearted lady?" William replied, "Yes, dad. She is Paisley Anthony." "Paisley? You're the talented and smart daughter of the Anthony family." Hayden was very surprised. Paisley smiled and said, "Yes, I'm Paisley! But me being talented and smart are just rumors." Paisley was not a spoilt rich kid from a wealthy family. She looked good-natured and easy-going. William couldn't help but take another look at her. Paisley was indeed very beautiful and had a charming charisma to her. She had what it took to make guys fall in love with her. At noon, Michael and Richard were praising her looks and talents. He didn't really think much about it, but now that he was meeting her in person, he finally believed it. Paisley also happened to save Hayden, so of course, William was g
