Marcus turned around as William slowly walked over with his hands in his pockets. "No matter where William goes, he always looks like a beautiful work of art." Michael praised. "Pff! What nonsense is that? It's his sex appeal! Can't you see through his cheekiness?" As they were talking, William walked up to them and asked, "What are you guys so happily talking about?" Richard smiled and said, "Well, don't you think Valeria looks so beautiful tonight?" "Yeah, Valeria is so beautiful. I have never seen her dress up like this." Michael joined in. William sat down and followed Richard and Michael's line of vision. His eyes lit up when he saw Valeria who was getting food with Abbie. Abbie also noticed William and said, "Hey, William is here! He's looking at you. I can't tell if he is regretting it or not." As soon as Abbie finished her sentence, William immediately looked away. "Sh*t, you are so beautiful tonight, but William has no re
He thought of Ashley as sl*tty kind of woman. Although Ashley's intentions were not pure, she never regarded herself as an escort. She always felt that she was much better than an escort. After being approached by Lexis like this, she was a little unhappy. "You're mistaken. I'm not that kind of cheap woman!" "Really? Then what kind of woman are you?" Lexis smiled cheekily and groped her butt again. "Oh, it feels good," After saying that, his perverted hands went towards her chest. Seeing him touching her chest in public, Ashley was shocked and she backed up a few steps. There was a wall behind her so she had nowhere to retreat. Lexis trapped her in between his body and the corridor wall before he began to touch her inappropriately. Ashley was so scared that her face went pale as she struggled to leave. But Lexis was unwilling to let her go as he continued to touch her. Ashley was angry and anxious, "Let go! What are you doing in public?"
Watching Lexis leave, Hardy looked at Valeria and said, "Are you okay?" "I'm fine!" She forced a smile. Looking in the direction where Ashley was standing, she realized that Ashley had already disappeared. Instead of Ashley, a few more people took her place, which included William, Paisley, Richard, Marcus, and some others. Without noticing it, everyone was crowded there. Abbie quickly came over and grabbed Valeria's arm, "Hey, Valeria! What happened?" "Abbie, I'll tell you about it later." Paisley also came over, "Bro, what happened?" "It's nothing, just a little accident though," Hardy didn't want to say more. After all, Lexis had just regarded Valeria as an escort and he was about to harass her. Hardy naturally wouldn't tell them the real story. Since he wasn't saying anything, Paisley didn't push further into it, "Thank God, it's all okay. Let's go back to the main hall!" She was talking to William, but he didn't reply. He too
Valeria looked at the screen in his hand that showed a long list of money transfer records, "What is this?" She asked in confusion. "The bank sent this to me last night. It tells me that all the funds in the bank card have been transferred out." "How is this possible?" Valeria was shocked. "I also think it's strange though. Didn't you call me last night to say that you would return my card? How could you transfer the money out? I thought it was a mistake, but now you're saying that you lost the card. How can it be so coincidental?" "Uh... I really can't find the card. Did someone... But how is this possible?" Valeria did not understand what was going on. She remembered that the card was in her bag when she arrived home. Although she threw the card angrily at that time, there were no outsiders at home. Ronald did not enter her room either. How could the card be taken away and later used in a fund transfer? "Do you think it's a mistake?" "A
Valeria felt sad, but she had to admit that the two of them did dance well and were very in sync with each other. Abbie knew that Valeria was a little upset, so she snorted, "Valeria, let's go down too!" "Forget it, she's a professional while we're amateurs. Let's not join in the crowd." "Who said that? I must go!" Abbie was someone who would never admit defeat, "I want to go down and stir things up, I will definitely make sure they stop dancing!" "Forget it, Abbie!" Abbie refused to listen to her advice and went straight to Richard, "Mr. Clark, would you like to dance with me?" Richard laughed, "My pleasure. Please, Miss Clark!" The siblings went down to the dance floor, and many other couples joined them. Soon, more and more people gathered on the dance floor. Valeria stood next to it as her eyes followed William and Paisley. While dancing, Paisley spoke to William with a smile. He maintained a gentle expression throughout, and Valeria
He was not interested in dancing at all, but he had to dance with Paisley since she helped Hayden before. During the whole dance, William's mind was not present, and it got worse when he saw Valeria and Hardy dancing. Paisley could tell he was distracted and she asked, "Do you have something on your mind?" "Nah!" he shook his head. Since he didn't want to say anything, Paisley couldn't pester him about it. She noticed that Hardy and Valeria were dancing well together and she couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Brown dances so well. My brother really likes her a lot." "Hm?" William's brows furrowed slightly. Paisley noticed his frown and she was reminded of his conversation with Valeria just now. She smiled and explained. "My brother has never been so attentive to girls before, let alone inviting them to dance. Miss Brown is an exception for him." William had a good impression of Paisley, who was gentle, polite, and smart, but he was extreme
Seeing that Valeria was playing the piano in the talent show, Ashley, who was watching away from the crowd, sneered at her. Was Valeria provoking Paisley? She really was a good-for-nothing for challenging the queen of piano because of William. She was merely an amateur in the presence of Paisley. Later on, when she saw that Valeria changed her instrument to the pipa, she couldn't help but laugh inside. So, she did know her limits, huh? However, the pipa song that Valeria chose was very simple and easy. How perfunctory of her... If she wanted to play the pipa, she should have chosen a harder song. Pipas in general had very simple melodies because they were low-sounding instruments that usually serve as accompaniment. Other than that, the pipa's note fingering positions were also very easy to learn. Ashley was sure that Valeria would not win, so she also signed up to perform. When Ashley was a child, Julie had spent a lot of effort to train he
After the prelude ended, Valeria's pipa tune blended in with the melody as Richard's flute also joined in. The performance was flawless, and the audience was stunned. At the end of the song, the audience burst into thunderous applause. "William Howard! Gosh! It was him who played the piano!" "Didn't someone say that Mr. Howard doesn't play these kinds of things? I don't believe that he can play the piano like that without ten years of practice. Other than that, Mr. Clark is also capable of so many things. He formed a band back when he was in school." "I've always thought that Michael was only good in court, but I didn't expect him to also be proficient in music. He can play the flute! F*ck!" "Miss Brown too! She's beautiful and also good at playing the pipa. With so many handsome men being her accompaniment, what a brag!" "Miss Brown has a good relationship with Miss Clark. I suppose he did this for his sister's sake." "What about Mr. Howard?
