The hall was filled with arriving guests when Valeria made it back after she had finished her conversation with William. Mason felt a little awkward when he arrived and saw that Valeria and Kyrie were welcoming their guests with open arms. He decided to shake it off and greeted Valeria with a smile instead, "Congratulations on your promotion, Valeria!" Valeria could not offend any guests as the host, so she could not ignore him even though she detested Mason. Instead, she welcomed him warmly as well, "Welcome, Mr. Eich!" Kyrie interrupted her, "Greetings Mr. Eich, I've heard that your new company is doing well!" Mason glanced at Valeria before explaining quickly, "Of course not, we've only just started operating after all." Valeria was surprised to hear that Mason had started a new company. However, she decided to ignore it as she had no ties with him anymore. Mason was disappointed at Valeria's cold reaction as he had expected her to be shocke
The waitress shook Valeria gently before asking, "Miss, are you alright?" However, she got no reply as Valeria remained still on the sofa. She immediately picked up her phone as she thought that Valeria had fallen for their tricks, "You can come up now, she's currently unconscious on the sofa." She had been preparing to strip Valeria when she woke up groggily and smiled at her, "Who did you just call?" "Why...why...are you awake?" The waitress had only managed to blurt this question out before fainting as a blunt force hit her head. Valeria clapped happily as she glanced at Lamont, "Alright, let me prepare Declan's 'welcome gift' then!" Lamont threw the unconscious waitress on the bed after Valeria had stripped the waitress off her clothes. After they were done, the both of them waited in the room nervously for Declan's arrival. Soon enough, footsteps that were approaching their room could be heard ten minutes later. "He's here!" Valeria
Once the door had been opened, Charles was confused as he stared into the darkroom. What the hell was going on? He was trying to figure out what was happening when a strange smell reached his nose. He tried to leave the room after a shriek, but a hand caught him and pulled him in before he could react. Once Lamont had tossed the unconscious Charles onto the bed, he turned the lights on to check the two figures that were lying together. "Imagine how confused they would be when they see each other tomorrow!" He chuckled. Valeria sneered at the figures coldly with narrowed eyes, "This was Ashley's scheme. After all, she had planned to marry me off to a b*stard while she was planning to marry a millionaire. I wouldn't be safe right now if William hadn't saved me. I swore to get revenge on them after that incident!" Lamont looked at Ashley's figure in disgust, "You're too kind, Miss. I would have taken things a step further." "You wouldn't be able to stop Ashle
Lamont was driving back home after leaving the hotel when Archer called him, "How did it go?" "Everything was perfect!" Lamont answered, "I'm worried about Declan's supporters though, could you do something about them?" "To be honest, I came to tell you that someone else dealt with them before I could. I guess Declan won't be getting away this time!" Lamont was stunned after hearing Archer's words, "Who did it?" "It was Wolf Group who did it! I had to force them as they refused to reveal the details at first." "Wolf Group? Why is Wolf Group involved in this?" Lamont was even more shocked to hear this news. "I was wondering about the same thing. William has a good relationship with the CEO of Wolf Group, Marcus, so he might have asked a favour from him. Marcus probably took action thanks to William?" Lamont doubted him, "You know how powerful Declan is, so why would Marcus offend the Anderson family just for William? I think there's something m
Charles put on his clothes with a confused expression before being led out of the room by the police with Ashely trailing behind. The two were pushed into a police car by the police. Mason, who had been knocked out, also woke up and was taken outside by the police with a dazed look on his face. As he was pushed into the police car, Mason saw Ashley and Charles being brought out. He was shocked when he saw their disheveled appearances and was trying to figure out what had happened but a firm voice interrupted his thoughts. "Bring the two of them back to the police station and interrogate them for the charges of a s*x trade!" A s*x trade? Did Charles and Ashley sleep with each other? Mason was so caught up in his thoughts that the voices of the police faded out. Meanwhile, Valeria had fallen asleep in William's arms after a passionate night. He kissed her face and wiped the sweat on her forehead before getting off the bed to grab his phone. He had rece
Charles frowned at Mason's bloody face and immediately ordered his driver as they were driving out of the police station, "Head to hospital now!" Mason wiped the blood on his face before exclaiming, "I'm fine! I don't need to go to the hospital!" Charles did not insist after hearing his words, "Drive us to Mason's house then!" The driver immediately turned and headed to Merton Condominium. Charles followed Mason off the car when they arrived and coughed as he said, "That incident last night...stays between us!" Mason turned and stared at him, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation for your actions, uncle?" "An explanation?" Charles asked with a sneer. "Where do I even start? Ashley and I were both set up and we somehow ended up on bed together." "That's it?" Mason retorted. "What? Did you think that I would be interested in a woman that you slept with?" Charles replied coldly, "I'm saying this not because I think that I'm disappointing your aunt
After Kyrie made the phone call to report the news, there were no longer any updates from him. Ronald couldn't sleep and he kept calling Kyrie and Ashley on his phone. Six long hours later, Kyrie finally picked up the call at 4 in the morning. Kyrie said that he was taken to the police station for a routine inquiry and he was just released. If he was taken to the police station, then Ashley should also be there. Ronald and Julie were lost in thoughts for another half an hour before Kyrie rushed to the hospital and told them about what had happened in the Halcyon Hotel. Ronald had already read the news and he knew that the Declan was in danger. He was now concerned about Valeria. What was her current situation? He called her multiple times, but he could not get through. Kyrie was not surprised when he heard that Valeria was not picking up, but it was surprising to hear that Ashley wasn't either, "Didn't Miss Evans leave quite a while ago? Why
Ashley fiercely rushed over in an attempt to hit Valeria. However, Valeria kicked her first before she could even make contact. Valeria had always been a gentle girl, so Ashley was caught off guard as she didn't expect this fierceness from her. Ashley was a little weak after being tormented by Charles for so long, in addition to the time she spent locked up in the police station. On the other hand, Valeria had a good night's sleep so she was well-rested and energizes. The hard kick sent Ashley's body flying to the ground. Valeria did not stop there as she realized her violent potential. She went up and kicked her a few more times as she scolded, "How dare you scold me? I'm going to kick you to death, you shameless b*stard!" Ronald, who was lying on the hospital bed with his hand plastered, and Julie, who was standing next to Valeria, was stunned by her sudden outburst. It took Julie a while before she realized what was happening, "Help! Someone's
