Abbie gave Paisley a look over before she turned to William. They sure looked like a perfect match on the outside. But in other aspects, they probably did not. William was a rich kid who loafed around while Paisley was a smart and beautiful girl. Paisley was precious to the Anthony family, so how could they ever let her be with William, a boy that did not have any talents or redeeming qualities? Perhaps William was the one interested in her and not the other way round. This thought made Abbie felt much better. "Oh, I've heard a lot about you, Ms. Anthony!" "Hello, Miss Clark!" Although Abbie did not introduce herself, Paisley could guess who she was when Richard addressed her. Abbie had always kept a safe distance from beautiful and talented women like her. And she was going to do the same today. After knowing that the woman was Paisley, she didn't quite believe what Valeria said. There must be a misunderstanding! Abbie had in
Abbie was furious, but there was nothing else she could do. Her brother had never been so stern with her, so she had no choice but to listen to him. She had experienced her card getting cut off before, so she didn't want to risk it happening again. She then left Climax Space in annoyance. On her way back, she called Valeria, "Valeria, William is truly b*stard! I just went to Climax Space and checked upon them. I know who the woman is." "Who is it?" "Have you heard of the talented daughter of the Anthony family? Her name is Paisley and she is William's new lover." "How is this possible?" Valeria was shocked. "I thought it was impossible as well, but I had just confirmed it." "Did William admit that he's in a relationship with Paisley?" Valeria asked shakily. "He didn't admit it, but he denied your relationship. When I asked him, he said that you guys have already broken up. Doesn't this mean the same thing?" Abbie didn't want to make
As Paisley was still pondering over it, the door to the living room opened and Hardy walked out with both hands in his pockets. "You're back?" "Bro, why are you home today?" Paisley asked confusedly. "Why can't I be? Oh, right, who was the one who sent you back?" "It's William Howard!" Paisley answered. "William?" Hardy was surprised. "Why would you think of being with him?" "Why can't I be with him? Do you hate him?" Paisley asked with raised brows. "No, why would I hate him? I just didn't think that he was your type." "Really? What do you think is my type of guy, then?" "I don't know either. However, I heard that no one can resist his good looks and charm. I never expect that you'd be another victim of his. You had better take care of yourself. He's a well-known playboy that loves every woman he meets. You should make sure you don't fall too deep for his charms." "That won't happen. If I fall deeply in love with him, he woul
Ashley was so angry that she screamed out in anger. Julie, on the other hand, was confused when she looked at her, "What's gotten into you?" "Mom! What have you been planning? If you hadn't done this, dad wouldn't get closer to Valeria. And they wouldn't have met Hardy. It's all your fault. If Valeria really marries Hardy, you won't be able to do anything!" With a livid face, Ashley shouted at her mother. Julie was stunned when she heard this, "Valeria is going to marry Hardy? Are you sure?" "No, but dad is determined. If he decides on it, it would most probably happen." "It has nothing to do with you. Why are you so anxious?" Looking at Ashley's exasperated face, Julie frowned and said, "Keep your temper in check. I can tolerate it if you yell at me, but don't yell at your father." "I just can't stand it! Why is Valeria so lucky? I'm not even half as lucky as her." "Don't you know your dad? He likes imagining these unrealistic fantasies. Besides, ho
Charles hung up the phone and he went back to the discussion room. Valeria was uneasy as she sat in the waiting room. Charles wasn't a kind person. Would William get into trouble because of him? Should she inform William? She was so worried about him that she couldn't just sit and do nothing. As she decided to call William and inform him about it, she walked out of the room to go to the washroom. As soon as she walked out the door, the lift chimed and William walked out with his hands in his pockets. Bobby was behind him and they walked in the direction of Valeria. She opened her mouth and intend to say something. However, William's expression was cold to the core. He didn't even spare her a glance and he walked past her as if they were strangers. Valeria swallowed back the words that were caught in her mouth. She felt that she was being ridiculous and she almost wanted to laugh at herself. William now had Paisley as his girlfriend, so she migh
Once they reached their car, Bobby couldn't hold in his laughter any longer and laughed out loudly. "What are you laughing at?" William asked expressionlessly. "I'm laughing at how Hardy was scolded by Marcus in front of everyone. He must be really angry now." "Marcus was indeed telling the truth. He really does put on airs and steal others away for himself," William sneered. Thinking of how Valeria appeared at Hardy's office, William was frustrated even though he had the upper hand in the discussion earlier. Hardy had still stolen his love away, so there was nothing for him to be happy about. William sighed and ordered Bobby, "Let's go!" After William left, Charles left Acma Corporation along with a group of people shortly after. Hardy walked Charles and his assistant to the lift with a confident smile. Once the lift doors closed, his smile immediately morphed into a malicious look as he turned back to his office. Seeing that
Once Julie hung up the phone, she threw her phone on the sofa in anger. She then shouted angrily, "What type of luck is this? That little witch is on a roll. How did she get acquainted with William Howard and also with Hardy Anthony? Is she that great?" "What should we do now? Are we going to just sit and watch?" Ashley asked. "Of course not. Hardy probably doesn't know about her scandals in the past. We should find a way to let Hardy know about him and William. I don't think he'll still be interested in him after knowing about that." "But we don't even know him well enough. How are we going to tell him these?" Ashley asked. "We should look for Elizabeth Eich. Since we share the same enemy, we can be friends. Let's tell her about what happened between Valeria and Hardy. Mason is in such a bad state while Valeria is having the time of her life. I'm sure Elizabeth would not be happy to see her like that." In the Howard family, Hayden was all smiles in the li
William smashed the keyboard and monitors so ruthlessly that Elizabeth jumped in shock. She could not help but look at the shattered pieces on the floor in horror. William looked at her coldly and yelled, "Get out!" Elizabeth felt an inexplicable chill with that look. She stood up nervously and scurried out of his office. A mocking smile flashed across William's face as he looked at her retreating figure. Charles and Elizabeth were really shameless. Were they trying to provoke him by using Valeria and Hardy's relationship? Well, he had to admit that he was really provoked! He wasn't just trying to scare Elizabeth. In fact, he did it out of anger. "Valeria, that d*mn woman! How dare she treat me like that?" Elizabeth hurried out and returned to Charles' office. Once she shut the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. "That was scary. William can be really intimidating if he wishes too." "Did he get angry?" "He was livid. I
