Paisley didn't seem to be aware of the sarcasm in Valeria's replies, "I'm actually not a caring person. But it's different with William. I just have the urge to be good to him. He's so handsome and gentle..." The smile on Paisley's face was sheepishly sweet. Valeria obviously knew how charming William could be when he was gentle. She felt extremely uneasy upon hearing that. "William is indeed good-looking, but he has flirted with so many women. Don't you think he has a bad reputation, Ms. Anthony?" "Bad reputation? No, he's so handsome. It's normal for women to like him, isn't it? If he wasn't so charming, there wouldn't be this many women falling for him though?" Paisley didn't care about his reputation at all. There was an unpleasant feeling in Valeria that she could not hold nor release. Ignoring Valeria's gloomy face, Paisley smiled. "Actually, in the beginning, I also felt that William was too much of a player. However, I think that he is
Valeria shouted in panic, "William and Bobby, help me!" Instinctively, Charlotte turned around. She was met with a slap so hard that her vision blurred, and the corner of her mouth started to bleed. The excruciating pain forced her to take a step back while she was covering her face with her hands, and then she was hit in the chest. Bobby did not show any mercy to her. William rushed forward and grabbed Valeria's hand to pull her up. Her legs were limp, so she could not stand at all. She leaned into William's arms and shook uncontrollably. There was a serious look on William's face. He hugged her and patted her on the shoulder. "Don't be scared, I'm here!" She put her arms around his waist and she curled up into a ball. On the other side, Bobby kicked Charlotte to the ground as she screamed in pain. He didn't stop. It was rare to see such a vicious woman. If he and William had arrived late, Valeria would have been thrown into the ocean by her.
When Ashley heard the commotion, she thought that Valeria had been thrown into the ocean, so she went over to watch the fun. However, she didn't expect to hear that Charlotte would rat her out. She was startled and wanted to escape, but Bobby had already found her. Bobby threw Charlotte to the side and dragged Ashley from the crowd. She was thrown in front of Charlotte, and Charlotte grabbed her while resisting her own pain. "You told me that my brother was beaten by Valeria. Tell them about it now!" "What are you talking about? When did I tell you this?" How could Ashley admit it? Compared to Charlotte, she was more afraid of William, so she immediately denied it. "You literally told me that. Why aren't you admiting it? You b*tch! How dare you lie to me?" Charlotte raised her hand and slapped Ashley's face. Ashley reached out to push her away, but Charlotte threw herself at her, so they got into a physical fight with each other. Looking at
Paisley was not an ordinary person and soon, she came up with a good idea. She had to tell Hayden about this matter. What she had told Valeria about how much he liked her was the truth. He was indeed very fond of her and he had always wanted William to ask for her hand in marriage. She had fallen in love with his looks. His player reputation initially made her think that she was out of his league. However, he was too good-looking, so she fell for him inevitably. Not only did his looks captivate her, but Hayden had also given her a condition. As long as she was willing to marry William, Hayden would let her enter the Howard Group and give their child 20% of the shares under his name. Even 10% of the Howard Group's shares was a large portion, so she was moved by the deal and accepted his conditions. Hayden's illness and her first aid were a play conspired by Hayden and Paisley to allow her to appear in front of William in a dignified manner.
"Shut up! Do you know what you're talking about?" Ronald was shocked. "I know, Ronald, don't you realize that Valeria is not like you at all in terms of her temper and character?" Julie asked. "She's not like me, but she is like Natalie Garcia, right?" Ronald frowned and retorted. Although he was very angry with Valeria for bullying Ashley, he didn't like Julie attacking Natalie like this, "You can't joke about things like this." "I'm not kidding, Ronald. I saw with my own eyes that Natalie cheated on another man when she was with you." Julie was ready to risk everything. She knew Ronald too well. He had trust issues, as he and Natalie had a disparity in their family backgrounds. He had always felt inferior. She wanted to take advantage of his personal issues and get her revenge on Valeria. "Shut up!" Hearing her words, Ronald had put on a ferocious expression. "If you dare say that again, I'll smash your mouth!" "You smashing my mouth do
After trying a piece, Abbie also frowned like Valeria and William, "It really is bad. Are you sure this is roasted fish?" She said it tasted bad but added more pieces of fish to her plate and gave some to Andrew and Marcus, "Mr. Field, you guys have to try it. It's horrible!" Andrew and Marcus also agreed that it was bad. At first, Michael and Richard thought it was for real, but they realized that the people claiming that it tasted bad did not stop eating it. These people were all foodies. If the fish was really bad, why would they eat it nonstop? When they found out that they had been fooled, they immediately rushed over to grab the fish. It was very delicious. William sneered, "You two are so shameless." "Why should I care about being shameless? As long as there's good food, I don't mind," Richard winked and replied. Michael was also very surprised. "This actually tastes really good. I think that William and Valeria could run a couples' barbecue s
Paisley felt very tired, so she hoped that Hardy would come back to console her. However, he hadn't come back since he left. She called him several times, but he didn't pick up. Paisley called Bevan, Hardy's assistant, "Where's my brother? Why hasn't he come back? I'm so tired." "Miss Anthony, something has happened to the company, so he might not be able to go back. Please deal with the guests for him," Bevan explained. "What happened?" Paisley asked in surprise. "It's not convenient to talk about it on the phone. He is still trying to solve the problem. Let's talk about it after it's solved," Bevan said vaguely. It was definitely not a small issue if Hardy had to leave the party he had prepared so much for. Paisley did not expect it to be so serious. She was even more depressed. This party was thrown to make her happy, but she was not in the mood at all. This was the worst party she had ever had. She hoped that it would end soon so tha
The car stopped after traveling for about 40 minutes. Seeing that Valeria opened her eyes, William's eyes brighten up and asked, "You're awake?" "Oh, I didn't realize that I fell asleep. You should have woken me up," Valeria said embarrassedly. "I just wanted you to rest more." "Why did your dad call you back? Was it something urgent?" "Don't worry, it's just a mess caused by Burtos family," William simply answered. "Were you scolded?" Valeria looked at him worriedly. "Not really, it was just some nagging. I'm fine." "Are you sure?" Valeria doubtfully asked. "Yes, I am. Alright, let's just forget about this and head in," William held her hand and they entered the villa. They both needed to wash up after a long day, so they headed to the bathroom. Seeing such an attractive lady like Valeria, William would never be able to resist himself and it led to a steamy make-out session in the shower. William carried Valeria out of the
