Valeria was dumbfounded. "Paternity test? With who?" "I don't know. I'm sure it's not you. But if you ask me, I think maybe he's going to do it with Ashley?" Abbie guessed. After a pause, she continued, "But if so, do you think your dad suspects that Ashley isn't his daughter? Then again, that b*tch doesn't look like your dad. So, it's possible that her dad is someone else." "I don't think so. My dad isn't a humanitarian who would be kind to Ashley even when he knew she isn't his daughter," Valeria shook her head. "Who's he doing the test with then? Should I ask Richard to look into it?" Abbie suggested. "Sure, thank you!" "Jeez, it's nothing," Abbie grinned. "Oh no, I need to go. Don't forget to video call William to see what's going on over there." It was already near midnight when William and Paisley finished work and they returned to the hotel. William was going to call Valeria once he entered his room, but Marcus called first.
Paisley heaved a deep sigh after she returned to her own room. She thought of what happened earlier in William's room and she was, once again, surprised by him. Earlier that day, Paisley had pretended to have failed to notice a flaw in their contract upon a discussion with Lucas, and it would act as an excuse for her to come find William that night so that they could spend more time together. In his room, Paisley gave a long-winded proposal to solve the problem. However, William showed no interest in carrying out her suggestion and he also rejected it. Instead, he casually put forward an alternative solution that was much better than the one Paisley had come up with. However, despite making no progress on her plan for the night, Paisley confirmed that William was neither a pleasure seeker nor incompetent. In fact, he was quite the contrary. Truth be told, once she thought about it, it made sense for her that William wasn't someone dim-witted. After all, h
Valeria only returned to the villa after staying out in the garden for a while more. Meanwhile, Danya was sitting on the couch and when she noticed Valeria coming in. She greeted with a smile, "Miss Brown, how's your walk?" However, Valeria didn't reply to Danya. Instead, she stomped her way up the stairs and she slammed her door shut. Listening to the loud noise, Danya grinned triumphantly. Judging by the frustration, Valeria must have heard Danya's call earlier at the garden. Therefore, Danya would only need to wait patiently for Valeria to throw a fit at William. No men would like their partner to be someone unreasonably distrustful towards them. Valeria's nonsensical inquiry would definitely anger William, and they would end up having fights. Then, Danya heard an earth-shattering loud noise coming from upstairs. Danya's eyes lit up with excitement. It sounded like Valeria was smashing things. So, Danya immediately got up and went upstairs.
Danya stormed off without having lunch. The maid's eyes darted back and forth between Danya's back and Valeria, and she finally asked, "Miss Brown, she..." "Don't mind her." Valeria bit a mouthful of the spicy chicken, "Come, eat with me." The maid waved her hand and declined. She was very conservative and she would not eat with her employer, "It's okay, I'll eat later." "It's fine. There are no other people here, it's just the two of us. Join me!" Valeria insisted. Then, she looked at the look on the maid's face and asked with a smile, "I didn't scare you earlier, did I?" "No, it's okay!" The maid waved her hand. "I did it on purpose just now. Danya was very mean to me. I'm only giving her an eye for an eye," Valeria said. She was being entirely honest with the maid, "She tried to provoke me several times now in these two days. Just now in the garden, yesterday in the laundry room. Even a worm will turn." Upon hearing that, the maid finally realized
Danya was tongue-tied. Valeria's questions seemed genuine, but Danya was still mad because there was nothing for her to say. She could have said the man was William to provoke Valeria upfront if Paisley really slept with him. However, it was only a story that Danya made up to irk Valeria. Danya, of course, wouldn't dare to put William's name on it. But it didn't mean that her plan failed. Since they were the only ones in the villa, Danya dropped her act and sneered. "Why won't you guess who's the man?" "I can't. That's why I'm asking you," Valeria chided. "Well, not everyone is worthy of Ms. Anthony. She's sophisticated and talented. So naturally, the man is someone tall, handsome, and has a high status. Also, she doesn't like foreigners. So, the person is from our country." Danya thought Valeria would jump when she heard the answer. But Valeria was undisturbed. Valeria nodded indifferently, "I see... Anyway, I've been wondering why Paisley cam
However, Danya was wrong. Valeria didn't seem like she was going to invite Danya to join her at all. Instead, Valeria slowly chewed on the chicken, ignoring Danya. Noticing that Valeria wasn't going to acknowledge her, Danya had to ask for herself, "Miss Brown, where did the maid go?" "Oh, she went home!" Valeria answered nonchalantly. "Home? Why?" Danya raised her voice in surprise. Valeria answered mockingly, "Something at home came up for her, of course." "But who's going to make dinner for us if she went home?" "Did you hear yourself? Can't you cook for yourself? Or do you feel so entitled and think that you must be served," Valeria asked coldly. "I can cook. But there are no ingredients," Danya replied gloomily. "You're joking! How are there no ingredients in the refrigerator?" Valeria said as she finished another piece of chicken. Danya gulped as she watched Valeria enjoyed her chicken, "I'm serious! Why would I lie?" "
Meanwhile, William wasn't as angry as Danya had imagined. He immediately went to call Valeria. He knew Valeria very well. She could even tolerate vicious and despicable people like Ashley and Mason. Why would she inexplicably try to fight Paisley's butler? William articulated his thoughts before he called Valeria, to which she answered almost instantly, "Yes?" "Valeria, did something happen between you and Ms. Anthony's butler?" "How did you know?" Valeria retorted, "Did she call you to complain about it?" "Yes. She said that you seem displeased with her and that you deliberately ask the maid to only cook spicy food so she couldn't eat. You even send the maid home and cleared out all the ingredients in the fridge on purpose. Is that true?" "Are you questioning me?" Valeria asked. "No, I know you're not that petty. Did something else happen?" "That's right, I'm not petty. But even you'd hit back when you're challenged again and again," Va
Danya thought to herself behind the door as Valeria carried on with her heated complaint. "You remember the servant Paisley brought with her? You won't believe how shameless she is. She had the audacity to come to question me when she's the one who started the fight. Jeez, just who does she think she is?" "No, of course, I didn't back down. That butler really thinks she's something else. I had to teach her a lesson. Since she can't handle spice, I asked the maid to prepare spicy food for lunch. Guess what? She skipped lunch! So I asked the maid to clear out the ingredients and go home. She must be starving now because there's nothing she can eat," Valeria couldn't contain her giddiness. "Oh right, she's not going to have anything for breakfast and lunch tomorrow too. I asked the maid to come back tomorrow afternoon." Danya was furious. Valeria never had the intention to order her food. Instead, she busy bad-mouthing about Danya to her friend. Valeria cont
