When Natalie returned to the company with Archer, the angrier she became thinking about what happened then. Natalie grumbled, "Raymond had gone too far. How dare he try to deceive us. We can't let him go on like this. I need to send him on a blind date." Archer shook his head with a smile and said, "Honey, you'd better not meddle with his affairs. Just let him be." "You can't let him do whatever he wants! Do you really want to see him live alone for the rest of his life?" Natalie firmly disagreed. Archer sighed and said, "I don't think Raymond is at fault here. You might have... misunderstood him today." "I've misunderstood him? Why do you say that?" "I think the girl Raymond met with today is the girl that William introduced to him." Natalie did not believe it at all. "Why do you think so?" "I can tell from my intuition! Raymond might have offended William somehow, so he pulled this prank on Raymond." "William is not that kind of person.
Raymond was stunned and did not dodge. The cup went straight at Raymond's head and slammed onto his forehead before dropping onto the ground and smashing into pieces. The intense pain finally brought Raymond to his senses. He stopped staring at Anna and felt liquid dripping down his forehead. When he reached out to touch the liquid, he realized it was his blood. After hitting her target, Anna scolded furiously, "You jerk! How dare you peep at me? I'll kill you!" Raymond's face and hand were covered with blood, and he regained his senses. He hurriedly explained, "I'm not peeping... I..." "You're not peeping? Then are you admitting that you're trying to harass me? Call the police! We have to call the police and have this pervert arrested!" Anna gnashed her teeth in anger. Although she grew up abroad, she was not so open-minded. It was frustrating for her that a jerk had looked at her naked. So she wanted to call the police. When the person in charge he
Hearing Raymond's words, Anna almost jumped up in shock. "William is married to your sister? Doesn't that mean... mean that you are Valeria's brother?" Anna's eyes were opened wide with surprise as she stared at Raymond. But as Raymond's face was covered in blood, she couldn't see the resemblance. Seeing that Anna was staring at him, Raymond could only explain, "I'm Valeria's brother! I truly am!" Anna still didn't believe it. "How is this possible? Valeria is such a nice person. How could she have a shameless brother like you? I don't believe it! I would never believe it!" Raymond didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Ms. Taylor, this is a misunderstanding. I'm not shameless. I just..." "Just what? Didn't you already do so many despicable things? You were harsh and rude at the restaurant that time. Then you hung out with that disgusting scumbag, Michael. And today, you did something even more out of line!" Anna was furious when she recalled Raymond
Raymond wore a mask and lowered his head as Anna brought him into the Saunders family's hotel like a criminal. Anna disagreed with Raymond to wear a mask at first. But Raymond felt that he would be too humiliated if he appeared in public in that manner. After much persuasion, only did Anna agree to his request. They soon arrived at the private room where Raymond was meeting his date. Anna crossed her arms and stood outside while watching Raymond take off his mask before going into the room. After a while, a woman's scream was heard from inside. Anna made a face proudly. She was sure that if Raymond were to meet his date in this manner, his date would surely be furious. If his date was a bad-tempered person, she might even beat up Raymond. Even if Raymond could escape unscathed, his date would surely be furious and tell Raymond's mother about this exaggeratedly. Raymond would definitely be unable to explain himself to his mother tonight. Since A
As Raymond was dragged into the elevator by Anna, he hadn't had the chance to see who was inside. When he heard the voice, he was dumbstruck as he looked over. William and Marcus was in the elevator, looking at him with a teasing smile. Raymond wanted to bury himself because William and Marcus had seen him in such an embarrassing state. Anna also didn't expect to run into William by coincidence. William's gaze fell on Anna's hands which were on Raymond's arms and smiled wryly. He then teased the both of them, "I didn't know that you two were this close?" Anna came to her senses and immediately let go of Raymond's arm. "Who says that I'm close to him? Fuck!" To prove that she had nothing to do with Raymond, Anna took out a wet tissue from her bag and wiped her hands with disgust. Raymond's face turned livid when he saw her actions. William's smile widened while Marcus chuckled at the sight of this. Anna then glared at Marcus. "What's so funny? What ar
Hearing William's words, Marcus burst into laughter. William was also laughing when a call came in. He then restrained himself and answered the call. "Did you find out more information?" "Yes, I've found out the information on the man who looks like you. His name is Leonard Floyd." "Leonard Floyd?" William racked through his brain but didn't know anyone with that name. "I've checked his background. Leonard has always been involved with the investment banking businesses and hasn't shown his face before this. He had always gained his profits through manipulating other people before slowly coming into the spotlight recently. He is now into business entities and is already a major stockholder of a few listed companies." "Is that so? Do his companies have any conflict of interest with ours?" William asked softly. "There's no conflict. I can't see where Leonard could be a threat to us." "Is that so? What about his girlfriend who was in a coma and pregnant?
William said lightly, "Why else? We are the ones who hit her. It's a given that we need to take care of her well. Or we would be in trouble if anything serious happens, wouldn't we?" "That's all?" Marcus pressed. "If not what else?" William glanced at Marcus wryly. Marcus stroked his own head while thinking that something didn't seem right. But he couldn't figure out what. A car then drove towards them and stopped beside them. Bobby opened the door and got out of the car. "Mr. Howard!" William smiled as he saw Bobby and turned to Marcus. "I will leave first with Bobby. Please bring the car for repairs." Marcus agreed to it and watched as William got into Bobby's car. The car then drove off very soon. Marcus was about to leave when the policeman in charge of this incident came over. After the policeman greeted Marcus politely, Marcus asked about the incident, "How's the investigation going? Do you know who she is?" The policeman shook his head a
William and Bobby went back to the Howard family's old mansion. It was quiet, and no one was in the living room. William then strode upstairs. When he turned around the stairs, he heard Hayden's and Lucas' laughter coming from the nursery room on the left. There were also Cade's and Santhos' cooing sounds. Needless to say, Hayden and Lucas were playing with Cade and Santhos in the nursery. William then returned to his bedroom, but Valeria wasn't in the room. So William guessed that Valeria should be in the gym. So he turned around and went downstairs to the gym. As expected, Valeria was practicing yoga on her yoga mat, with sweat pouring down her face. When she saw William come in, she stopped and asked, "Didn't you say that you can't come home tonight? Have you settled all your affairs?" "I did!" William wiped the sweat off her face. "Why are you bothering with this when you're sweating so much?" "I'm happy to do it for my body figure!"
