Due to Paxton's injuries, the interrogation had to be called off, so William took Valeria home. It was already eight o'clock at night, and they hadn't had a good rest since midnight, so they were very tired. While worrying for Valeria, he poured her a glass of milk and said, "Have a glass of milk first. Don't worry, I'll find a way to make Paxton confess!" "William, I know you've always been helping me, but this time... you don't have to if it puts you in a difficult position!" She took the milk and placed it on the tea table. "I'm not in a difficult position!" "I know you are! Paxton is your sister's servant, and your sister is the wife of the Saunders family. The Saunders family will definitely help your sister, and your father will not stand by. There's so much pressure from all sides... I don't want to make it difficult for you!" "I said it's not difficult for me!" He picked up the milk again and pressed it against her mouth. "Be good and listen
Outside the villa, Lamont's expression was stern. "Miss Brown, you can't trust Mr. Howard, do you understand?" "Why can't I?" She asked. "Paxton was the one responsible for your mother's death, and he is the younger brother of Savannah's maid. Savannah had a grudge against your mother before, so I suspect that she had something to do with this matter. If that's the case, do you think you can trust William?" "I trust him! If I can't even trust William, then there will be no one in this world who can be trusted!" "Miss Brown! You can't be so oblivious. William and you are just an ordinary couple. Haven't you thought about his true identity? Is he really as simple as he looks?" "What do you mean? What other identity does he have?" "I don't have any evidence now, but I'm sure that he's not an ordinary person!" Lamont gasped for breath and continued, "Miss Brown, you've been with him for so long, and you don't doubt him at all? Maybe he has a motive for g
Gavin closed his eyes after listening to Arthur's report, and the room fell into a dead silence. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "She's the eldest daughter of the Saunders family! It turns out that she's related to us!" "Yes! What are you going to do now?" Arthur asked. "Archer doesn't know about this, right?" "That doesn't seem likely! Otherwise, how could he not ask about it?" Arthur guessed. "She's now in love with the Howard family's son?" "Yes! They're even living together! They love each other very much!" He nodded. "We can't let them be together!" Gavin said slowly, "We must find ways to separate them!" "I think that would be difficult. You've seen Mr. Howard. Who can resist such a handsome face?" "Then, let's start with Valeria!" He stood up and paced back and forth in the room. "I'll bring her home and claim her as the eldest daughter of the Saunders family! This way, William will be her uncle, and they'll defin
William had been investigating the truth. The only thing he knew was that his mother had died of blood loss after being pushed down the stairs by Natalie. Why did Natalie, who had no grudge against his mother, push her down the stairs? After all, his mother was pregnant. Who would treat a pregnant woman like this? Hence, William investigated Natalie, and he always thought that she was a vicious woman. However, the results of the investigation showed that she was a kind and generous person. As the head of the Brownard Group, she had always kept a low profile. When he sent people to investigate her, they often saw her going to an orphanage or nursing home to help out. That was not something a vicious woman would do unless she was pretending. Not only was Natalie kind-hearted, but her daughter, Valeria, was the same. When he first saw Valeria, he was mesmerized by her raw beauty. He initially had little to no feelings towards women, but he felt an
William sat down and said with a smile, "Yeah, I do!" "Which family is she from? With your looks, your girlfriend must be as beautiful as a model, right?" "Yes! She's very beautiful." He nodded. When Hayden heard them talk about Valeria, he felt uncomfortable. Wasn't this taboo? He was against their relationship, so he was frustrated upon hearing this conversation. In order to prevent the conversation from continuing, he coughed and raised his glass. "Gavin, it's rare for you to come to B City, so stay a little longer. I'll free my schedule to show you around!" "Okay, sounds good!" He said with a smile. It was obvious from Hayden's expression that he didn't like Valeria. With that, Gavin felt that Hayden was crossing a line. Even though he was also against William and Valeria's relationship, he was annoyed when he realized that Hayden despised his granddaughter. He should be looking down on William, an ignorant and incompetent boy who did
Savannah was at a loss for words. Back when Hayden wanted to pursue Natalie to take responsibility for her actions, she was the one who knelt in front of him to ask him to call off the investigation. She remembered her words and promised that was the last time she would ask Hayden to let go of Natalie and make it work for her and Archer. She wanted to marry Archer, and if he didn't agree, she would die! He finally agreed to her request, but he told her to never beg him for another favor in the future. More than twenty years had passed, and she had long forgotten how she had knelt in front of Hayden and sworn with tears. She thought that he would also forget about it, but he had remembered everything very clearly. Hayden had a love-hate relationship with his only daughter. He didn't want to interfere in Savannah's affairs at all, but she was still his daughter, so he reminded her of it. "You should know what you did, right? Let me tell you, the Saund
Abbie and Valeria left the hydrotherapy center in a good mood. Abbie started the car and asked, "Where should we go now?" "Send me home. I want to prepare dinner for William tonight." She rolled her eyes and said, "Can you stop showing off your love in front of me? You're torturing a single person like me to death!" Since she put it that way, Valeria was a little embarrassed. "Uh... I didn't mean to." "I would beat you up if you did! Well, I'm a good friend, so I'll take you to get groceries!" "Aww! You're the best!" Valeria sent her a flying kiss. Abbie exclaimed, "I finally know why William gave in! Did you seduce him like this every day?" At the Howard Group, William hung up Valeria's call with a big smile on his face. When Steven came in and saw his beaming expression, he asked confusedly, "Mr. Howard, did something good happen to you?" "Yepp! Of course!" Since he was in a good mood, he was less irritated by his secretary. "What's the matte
Lamont saw the look of surprise on Hayden's face and sneered. "Why did you think that Miss Brown won? The Brownard Group's stock value couldn't have magically risen like that after the incident, and William said that the money is her betrothal gift!" "Ridiculous! That's nonsense! Where did he get 100 million? That b*stard! He's making me furious! I'd like to see how he's going to pay back the debt in the future!" Hayden couldn't remain calm and roared angrily. "Doesn't he have the shares of the Howard family? Wouldn't he be able to repay the debt if he sells those?" "He wouldn't dare!" After he said it, he realized that William might actually do that. He sulkily picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. Lamont put his hands together and said, "Choose the lesser of two evils, Hayden. You shouldn't hesitate anymore and settle this once and for all. Would you rather have William hate you or see your enemy's daughter frolick in front of you every day? Your wife is
