The man at the door was short and plump, and he appeared to be in his fifties. However, what stunned Valeria were his sharp and fierce facial features, and she couldn't help but shiver at his intimidating presence. While Valeria was observing him, he had also been paying attention to her as well. Valeria had a slim and hourglass figure that showed off her curves whenever she walked. Her dreamy round eyes and other exquisite facial features only further highlighted her beauty. She was indeed every man's walking wet dream. This gorgeous woman with such beauty and grace could catch anyone's attention! Ronald must be insane, why was he so eager to marry off this stunning daughter of his? Of course, now that Ronald himself had offered Valeria to Declan, he had no reason to refuse this amazing gift. When Ronald had sent him a picture of Valeria, he had decided to keep his expectations to a minimum. This was because, with the power of plastic surgery
After leaving the room, Valeria strode out of the club lounge and headed to her car. When she was about to get on, the door of the car that parked next to her opened as a tall man approached her, "Nice to meet you, Miss! I'm Lamont Saunders." "Lamont?" The man standing in front of Valeria was broad and had defined facial features. She had heard that Lamont was more than forty years old, but this man looked like he was in his late twenties. "Yes, that's me!" Lamont smiled as he looked closely at Valeria. Valeria had grown up well, she certainly looked a lot more mature than she was four years ago. She had inherited the excellent genes of Natalie and Archer. However, Lamont personally thought that Valeria was more beautiful than Natalie ever was. "Let's find a place to talk, shall we?" "Alright," Valeria nodded, "Declan and my father are still in the club lounge, and it would be troublesome if they saw me. Why don't we go to the coffee shop there
William sat inside his office in Wolf Group with a strict expression on his face as he twirled the pen he was holding. Marcus reported, "What was Ronald thinking when he decided to bring Valeria to meet Declan in a VIP club lounge?" William chuckled coldly, "Are the results of Ronald and Valeria's paternal test out yet?" "They are. I sent their DNA out to ten different labs in three different cities so that the results would be accurate. It took a whole week, and the results were all the same. Ronald and Valeria aren't related at all!" "Ah! I see," William sighed in relief. "I had kind of expected this. After all, I didn't think that Ronald would commit these crimes against Valeria if she was his real daughter." "Ronald must have arranged for Declan and Valeria to meet so that he could push her into the tiger's den! Mr. Howard, I think we should deal with that lunatic as soon as possible!" Marcus exclaimed angrily. "I know, but I'm just worried
Lamont was deep in thought when he heard Valeria talking to Howard, "William, you don't have to worry about my safety anymore now that I have Uncle Saunders as my personal bodyguard. He's a well-known master in martial arts, so I'm sure he'll be able to protect me well!" "Really?" William's gaze snapped to Lamont when he heard the news, "That's great! Please take care of her then, Mr. Saunders!" William had humbled himself to call Lamont 'Mr. Saunders', and he had spoken to the latter without any hint of arrogance. However, William should have already known that Lamont was Archer's bodyguard and it was weird that William was calling him 'Mr Saunders'. In fact, William should've referred to him as 'Uncle Saunders' just like Valeria or 'Mont' if he knew that Lamont was Archer's personal bodyguard. However, instead of using the two names, William had opted to refer to him as 'Mr. Saunders'. Did William know that Lamont was more than just a bodyguard? W
As Valeria and William got into their car after leaving the coffee shop, Valeria decided to tell William what had happened today, "William, my father must be trying to use me again!" Even though William had heard the news from Marcus, he still listened patiently as Valeria recalled the events that had happened to her. However, he could not control his anger although this was his second time hearing about Declan's disgusting actions. Declan was in hot waters for trying to steal his wife. William patted Valeria's hand and comforted her, "Leave it to me, you'll be fine, I got your back!" "I'll be fine, Lamont will stop him anyways. I'm just upset at how heartless Ronald is! How could he do this to his own daughter?" "I guess we'll never understand the thoughts of a heartless b*stard like him." William sighed secretly as he pushed away from the temptation to tell Valeria the truth about her relationship with Ronald. He needed to get rid of Declan as soon as p
Valeria's eyes were glowing with happiness when she saw the exotic and delicious dishes that had been served. "I'm going to gain so much weight after eating all this tonight!" William had a smile on his face as he filled her plate generously, "Don't worry, eat as much as you want, I won't complain even if you gain weight." "You don't understand how hard it is to lose weight! I'll be too fat to walk properly in the future at the rate you're feeding me!" "You won't if we exercise at night to burn those calories," William winked at her. "You pervert!" Valeria glared at him, "You wouldn't torture a sick patient tonight, would you?" "I'll keep my hands to myself tonight, don't worry!" William replied as both of them continued to enjoy their food while joking around with each other. After their meal, William brought Valeria around the garden for a stroll. He walked behind Valeria as she admired the colourful decorative lights that were all around the
Could Valeria have plotted this scheme because she realised that his plans had failed? Valeria might not have been able to do this herself, but now that she was dating William from the Howard family, so she would have been able to get help from any of his bodyguards anytime. If Valeria was the mastermind behind his attack, then did that mean that she had found out about his plans? Ronald had grown even more suspicious of Valeria. He had gotten so suspicious of her that he was annoyed at the sight of her putting on a concerned facade in front of him. Even though he had no supporting evidence, Ronald believed that Valeria was the prime suspect behind his attack. In fact, he was convinced that she was currently in the room to admire the results of her plans. Ronald could not stand Valeria's mocking face any longer, so he grunted, "I have Kyrie here with me, so you all can leave first." "I'll stay with you," Julie refused as this would be a good opportun
Valeria replied, "I'll get my own people to set up the trap. I saw Declan walking around with some bodyguards yesterday, so find someone to protect me while blending in with the crowd too." Lamont smiled as he knew that Valeria had only thought of him as a bodyguard after reading her message. "Alright!" William turned to glance at Valeria a few times when he saw that she had been on her phone, "Who are you texting?" "I'm asking a huge favour from Lamont to prepare for tomorrow's banquet," Valeria replied as she put her phone away. "Don't worry, I'll arrange everything according to your plans," William comforted her. "I know, but I can't stay a coward forever. I should strike back instead of always being on the defensive end, right?" Valeria smiled at William, "I'm going to be an independent person so that I can stop relying on others. Once I can do that, you wouldn't have to worry about saving me when you're not around." "Alright, do whatever y
