After William and Valeria had their dinner, it was still early. So, they took a walk in the garden. As they were going to get their marriage certificate the next day, they couldn't contain their excitement. They chatted happily as they strolled along. William had his hand on Valeria's waist, and he peppered her with kisses along the way. Romance and tenderness were in the air as they walked around the garden. After one round, Gavin called William. "William, are you up to anything now? If you're free, come and have a drink with me." Gavin and William rarely contacted each other. So there was obviously something fishy going on if Gavin invited him for a drink. Sensing this, William immediately refused his offer. "I have something on right now. Why don't I treat you to a drink tomorrow?" "Are you rejecting my offer, William? I feel humiliated. I won't take up much time anyway, so there's no need for you to reject me like this. Come on, show me some respect. I'm a v
When Hayden left, Valeria sat on the sofa dazedly with tears streaming down her face. She didn't believe that her mother would do such a mad thing to a pregnant woman! She would not believe it! What happened then must have been a misunderstanding. Lamont might know what really happened. Valeria wiped her tears and took out her phone. She dialed Lamont's number and he answered in a few seconds. Lamont's tone was soft as he asked, "Is there anything I can help with, Miss Brown?" "Uncle Saunders, I need to ask you something. Do you know how William's mother died? You must know the reason, right?" Valeria was sobbing as she said this, the tremble in her voice was evident. Lamont knew that Hayden had told her what happened. He sighed and said, "Yes, I know the reason. William's mother was pushed by President Garcia, and she died due to excessive bleeding." "Impossible! Why would my mother do something like that to a pregnant lady? I don't believe i
William went off to meet Gavin at the Wolf Group, who asked someone to bring them good wine. He acted as if he really invited him over for drinks. As they were drinking, Gavin said a lot to William. They talked for about two hours, but he did not even once mention anything about Valeria. William was confused. Did he guess wrongly? So the reason he asked him over was not because of Valeria? The only reason he came was because he thought Gavin was going to talk to him about Valeria. But since he was going on about irrelevant things, he did not have the patience to continue their conversation. He took a look at his watch and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Saunders. I shouldn't disturb your rest any longer." Gavin's initial plan was to lure William away from Valeria. Guessing that Hayden was done with speaking to Valeria, he agreed to let William leave. "Alright, William. Have a safe ride home. I'll have another drink with you tomorrow!" On the way home from Wo
Michael returned to attend his grandfather's birthday gathering. He had received Abbie's call, but he couldn't get through to her after that. There was no reply from her on Whatsapp too. She had blocked him, and this made him anxious. His grandfather's 80th birthday was not something to be trifled with, so he did not dare leave in the midst of it. He could only ask a bodyguard to go look for her. When the bodyguard found Abbie, he was relieved. He immediately left once the dinner was over and answered the phone call from his bodyguard. After hearing what the bodyguard said, he immediately scolded, "Are you dumb? Why didn't you immediately stop this from happening?" The bodyguard in black rushed out after them. Abbie was being helped by the two men in the parking lot. Michael's bodyguard blocked their path and said, "Let her go." "You... who the hell are you?" Abbie looked at the bodyguard with eyes wide open. "I know you! You... you are Michael's... that b*stard
Michael shouted angrily. Marcus laughed and said, "Michael, are you drunk? Miss Clark is your future sister-in-law. How could she be your woman?" "Marcus, I'm not joking right now. You had better get someone to look for her. If anything happens to her, I won't let you off!" Hearing Michael's ruthless threat, Marcus scoffed. "Mr. Davis, you are threatening the wrong person. If anything happens to Miss Clark, it's her business. What has it got to do with me?" "Marcus! Are you trying to piss me off? If you're not going to help me, I should just call William. Are we even friends? Why are you making things hard for me!" "Don't, there's no need for you to disturb Mr. Howard! I'll tell you where she is. The Wolf Group hotel has just called to say that Miss Clark asked for a room with two guys. "Get someone to stop her!" "I'm afraid that I can't agree to your request. The Wolf Group is open for business. How can we stop our customers from entering?" "D
When Valeria entered the bathroom to wash up, William called Bobby. "My dad must have come over to tell Valeria something. He might arrange for bodyguards to follow us today. So I intend to do the same." "Sir, tell me what I have to do." "I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Valeria in different cars at around 9 o'clock. Arrange for a bodyguard that has the same figure as me, and a woman that has the same figure as Valeria. Get them to change into our clothes and take our cars. Once you see someone following them, beat them up." "Okay!" Bobby promised. Valeria washed up and put on some light makeup. Once she reached the first floor, William was waiting for her in the dining room. After breakfast, William held her hand, and they left through the back door. Valeria looked at him strangely. "Why are we going through the back door?" "Didn't you ask me to avoid people? Let's just go secretly." A car was stopped outside their back garden and Mar
When the both of them got on their car, William told Marcus, "You can go back now. I am going to disappear with Valeria for a day!" Marcus laughed as he got down. "Mr. Howard, did you block Michael? He has been calling me countless times." As soon as he said that, Marcus's phone rang again. Marcus took a look and said, "It's Michael again." William could understand how he was feeling. He must be going crazy. He was in a good mood today so he didn't make things hard for Michael. "Tell him the room number, he can go look for her." Marcus complied and returned the call. William started the engine and brought Valeria to the seaside. On their way, Bobby called. "It's all settled! You should be prepared to get scolded by Mr. Howard." William pursed his lips and smiled. "Good job!" "By the way, sir, there were men from the Anthony family too. Mr. Hayden's men were just bruised, but those from the Anthony family might need to rest for a few month
Once Hayden said these words, the expression on Paisley's face changed drastically. Seeing that, Hayden sighed. "Please don't do that anymore. All his men are trained to kill. They don't go lightly on people. Someone might even die if you don't stop this. The thing is, we can't find proof that it was him. Even though we know the truth, there's nothing we can do about it!" Paisley came back to her senses and answered in a low voice, "Okay." Hayden could tell from her expression that she was embarrassed and angry, and he sighed slightly. "I've sent people to check, by the way. William and Valeria have not registered for their marriage yet. He's always been arrogant since young, so he must have done this because he didn't get what he'd wanted. So we can only let him vent his anger like this. It's better than holding it in, though." After saying that, Hayden stood up and left. Paisley sat in her chair without moving an inch. Seeing how her bodyguards wer
