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.
At dawn, William was woken up by Marcus' call. "Mr. Howard, Ronald confessed to everything. Julie and Paxton were the murderers who killed Natalie. The police are now asking Miss Brown to go over. What should we do..." William suddenly sat up. "Are you sure?" "I'm sure. Please explain it to Miss Brown beforehand. I'm afraid that she won't be able to take it." He remained silent. Beside him, Valeria muttered to him in confusion, "William, who is calling? Did they mention my mom and dad?" "Um... Valeria, something happened. You should get up first. We need to go to the police station." Her sleepy eyes shot open. "Why are we going to the police station?" This was the first time William felt that it was hard to speak. "Your dad... is now in the police station." "What? Did something happen to him?" She was not too surprised when she heard that Ronald was in the police station. After witnessing his viciousness towards her the past few days, nothing s
At the Saunders family estate, Savannah was woken up by several knocks on the door. She impatiently got out of bed and opened it. Her servant, Dixie Baker, came in. "Madam, something bad happened. Paxton was caught!" Dixie was also abruptly awakened by a call from Paxton's friends. They told her that Paxton had been caught, but Dixie didn't take it seriously because she thought that he would be released soon due to his connections to Savannah. However, his friends told her that the situation was not so simple. Paxton got into big trouble this time, and he was involved in a homicide case. Upon hearing that, she panicked and immediately came to Savannah for a solution. Savannah frowned when she saw Dixie's panicked demeanor. "This isn't the first time he got caught. Why are you so flustered?" "No... It's not the same this time! Madam, he got into big trouble!" Dixie lowered her voice. "I heard his friends say that Ronald was involved this time, and h
Ronald used the recording as his trump card, and the police found the recording in the mailbox he provided. The recording was very clear. Ronald angrily questioned Julie for her reason behind poisoning Natalie's medicine while she cried and explained that it was an impulsive decision. She lost her mind because she was too in love with Ronald. The content of the recording completely corresponded to his story. However, Valeria still didn't believe that Ronald was oblivious about it the whole time. He must have known Julie's plan to poison Natalie since the beginning, but he did not stop her and allowed her to do all this. After all, if Natalie was dead, he could inherit everything related to the company. Ronald had been managing the company for so many years, and he was a cunning man. He was now at the lowest point of his life, so he probably wanted to put all the blame on Julie. Therefore, Valeria firmly believed that he must have helped to fulfill Julie'
