William's words shocked Valeria. "You can't talk nonsense like that! Ashley should be my dad's child, right? He is such a shrewd person. Before he took them in, he must have done a DNA test." "Yes, he must have done the test, but the results may have been changed, right?" William replied with a smile, "Don't you think that Ashley and your father have no similarities at all?" "Well... But I don't look like my father either. It's possible for children to not resemble their parents, right?" Valeria retorted. "That's also a possibility, but it is not likely for children to have zero resemblance to their parents. Let me give you an example, what would you do if you are really not your father's child? This is just an example." "That's not valid, how can I not be my father's child? You can't spew nonsense like this!" She glared at him unhappily. "I was just joking. Don't mind me, and don't get angry either." He explained immediately. "Your jokes are crossin
William looked at the message sent by Marcus for a long time without replying. He had already suspected Valeria's identity a long time ago. Although Ronald was vicious and shameless, William had always believed that a true father could never be evil towards his own children. Since Ronald was good to his mistress' daughter, Ashley, how could he treat Valeria so badly? So, there was only one explanation, which was that she was not his biological daughter. He always had this assumption at the back of his mind, and it was not until Ronald did the paternity test that he confirmed that they were not biologically related. Since Valeria had nothing to do with Ronald, then Valeria's true identity was very obvious. Natalie had no relationship with any other men except for Archer. Therefore, her biological father must be Archer. This was the biggest problem for William. If this truth was revealed, there would be strong objections against his relationship with
Archer had already considered Lamont's assumption of the situation. If William was really the president of the Wolf Group, then he really had only one purpose to get close to Valeria. However, they had been together for so long, and William had been helping her the whole time. So far, he had not seen him do anything bad to Valeria. "Perhaps he did get close to her for revenge. But we can't rule out the possibility that he fell in love with her in the process. Valeria is so simple. She can't even fend for herself against Ronald, so how would she be able to do so against William? If he wanted to plot against her, he would have done it a long time ago. He wouldn't have waited until now." Lamont understood what he meant. If that was the case, then this would be good news. However, Lamont did not dare to let his guard down. "I hope that's the reality, but we can't ignore the worst-case scenario. We have to prepare ourselves in order to face unexpected situations, rig
To let Richard and Braelynn have some alone time, William was on a call with Valeria for almost an hour. A few minutes after William hung up the phone, Hardy called her. "Valeria, your phone is so hard to get through. I've called you more than ten times, but it was all busy. Are you busy with companies calling you for cooperation?" Upon hearing this, she blushed a little. "Mr. Anthony, what's the matter?" "Okay, so, I have a joint project that will be quite profitable, but I don't know if you are interested in it." As soon as she heard that it was business, she agreed. "Of course I'm interested." "That's good. Let's meet when you're free." He picked up his notebook on the table with a smile. "I'm free right now. I can go over now?" She naturally would not give up any opportunity for business cooperation. "Sure." He agreed. He actually planned to go to her office, but now that she was William's girlfriend, it would be quite outrageous for him to
After following the Hummer for more than an hour, it finally stopped. The bodyguards got out of the car while dragging the one-eyed man and his accomplice out. They were tied up the moment they were thrown into the Hummer, and they uneasily tried to come to an agreement with William's bodyguards. "Guys, you are all also part of a gang, right? We're all from the same family. Could this be a misunderstanding?" William's bodyguards did not want to waste their time talking to them, so they covered their mouths to shut them up. Seeing that the kidnappers were pulled out of the vehicle, Lamont also stopped the car. Valeria opened the car door in a hurry and went up to them. The bodyguards dragged the two kidnappers to the basement of the villa. They laid on the ground while gasping for air. When they saw Valeria come in, they were both stunned. "Are... are they your men?" The two of them were like mice in a trap. The bodyguards greeted Valeria with r
As Ronald was thinking furiously, an audio message was sent to his phone. He guessed that it was related to Julie, so he played it and heard that it was her conversation with another man. "The child will be born in December, right?" A man asked her. "Yeah, the expected date is around mid-December. You just can't wait anymore, can you?" She sounded very clingy. A fifty-year-old woman with a clingy attitude was quite disgusting. "I still have to wait that long? Of course, I can't wait anymore! I can't stand it whenever I remember that you have to stay with that b*stard every day. He's so disgusting and conceited, and he always bullies you and your daughter. I really want to kill him." The man was furious. "You have to bear with it. If you don't, it'll mess up our plans. Please endure it for our sake. After the child is born, we'll have Ronald claim him as his own child, then we can finally mess with him." She sneered viciously. "I'm afraid that he would stil
An hour later, Julie came to her senses again. However, she was woken up after getting splashed by a bucket of cold water. It was absurdly ice-cold water, and the icy temperature made her eyes fly open. When she saw Ronald's emotionless expression, she shuddered and had the urge to move, only to find that she was tied up with multiple ropes. "Ronald, what are you going to do?" She had a bad feeling about it. He must have found out about her affair. Her heart sank, but she still held onto the hope that he only heard of the affair and not that the children she had weren't his. As she thought about it, she said, "Can we talk it out nicely? This will hurt the baby in my stomach!" "The baby? Haha! B*tch, do you think that you can hide the truth from me forever?" He played the recording, and she turned pale upon hearing the recorded conversation between her and Paxton. He knew everything. She was dead meat! Julie knew how ruthless he could be. Since
Ronald's revenge was quick and fierce. After listening to the reports from his subordinates, William shook his head. Why did they start their plans without thinking about the consequences? Julie and Ashley were definitely in big trouble after their lies were exposed, and Ronald's punishment for them reflected his rage. He did not care about the outcome of his actions. Since he dared to punish Julie and Ashley, he probably would not let Paxton off the hook either. However, Paxton was different from Julie and Ashley, and William thought that it would be an interesting situation to watch. William was not a cruel person by nature; however, Julie and Ashley's viciousness towards other people made him feel no remorse towards them. They had made shameless plans since the beginning. For example, when they schemed against Valeria. If it weren't for him that night, Valeria's reputation would have been tarnished by the gigolo that Ashley arranged for her.
