When William didn't respond, Marcus, who was right next to him, exclaimed, "Did she see you?" Triumphantly, Bobby shook his head and replied, "Of course not! It takes a lot for someone to catch me in action." "So, what happened? What did you find out?" William asked. "Miss Barnbook came up to the attic after she returned. There was no place to hide in the attic, so I climbed out of the window and held onto its edge, hiding right outside the window. I heard her searching for something, and then she stopped to call someone. She was comforting the person on the other side of the line, telling them to be patient for a little while more and that she would be sending some medication soon. After she hung up, she found whatever she was looking for and left. I didn't want to stay there for too long, so I quickly left her house as well." "Are you sure she didn't know you were there?" William asked. "I'm dead sur
Not long after Marcus left, a pasty-faced Raymond entered the presidential suite, and he collapsed onto the sofa, looking almost half-dead. Startled, William walked toward him and lightly gave him a nudge, "What's wrong? Are you sick?" "I'm fine. I just didn't know how unwanted I am until today." "What on earth happened?" Raymond groaned, "My dad says I'm an eyesore to him and wants me to go abroad immediately. He even said that he wouldn't leave a penny to me. Turns out I'm just a product of an elaborate scheme, and he has been plotting to get rid of me ever since he knew of my existence. It's ridiculous how my existence has become a source of grievance to him!" William didn't know how to respond to that. He could only imagine how deeply hurt Raymond must have been by Archer's direct proclamation of his hate towards Savannah and himself. Raymond was innocent in this case, and Archer had gone too far by punishi
Archer was shocked, "Who let him leave? Where did he go?" "They're being very discreet over there. I can't get more information," Lamont plopped down on a seat. "I'm guessing that it has something to do with Sir William because Ronald disappeared a few hours after Sir William visited him. Otherwise, there aren't any other explanations." "Why would he want to do that?" Archer frowned. He couldn't figure out why William would help Ronald get out of the detention. "Does Valeria know about this?" "She definitely doesn't know. She hates Ronald's guts and has been waiting for him to be punished. If she knew that Sir William had helped Ronald to escape his sentence, he'd definitely face her wrath." Lamont replied. He, too, couldn't comprehend why William would do such a thing. "President Saunders, do you think Sir William did this on purpose because he was bitter about his breakup with Valeria?" Archer p
Valeria was at work when she got a Whatsapp text from Gavin, saying that he was around the Central South Building, inviting her for lunch. A little surprised, she went out to see what was going on. Gavin was all smiles when he saw her. Going up to her, he said, "Valeria, I came all the way here to buy you lunch." "You don't need to do that," Valeria shook her head lightly. "I'm already here anyway. Accept my offer, will you?" Losing lost to the tender smile on Gavin's face, Valeria finally agreed after a moment of hesitation. As they were crossing the road, Gavin accidentally slipped. Valeria was quick to hold him, "Sir, be careful!" "Your knees are weaker as you're older, you know?" Gavin laughed as he held on to Valeria. And it surprised Valeria that Gavin was okay with her holding him. Remaining in that posture, the two of them walked across the road to the Chinese restaurant. Sin
Natalie was stunned as she heard Lucian. She tried to hold her temper in check before she murmured, "This cannot be. How would the Saunders know about Valeria?" "But there's no other reason that would make Sir Gavin approach Miss Brown. I have a bad feeling about this. What if they want to take Miss Brown in when he finds out about her identity?" Natalie's hand was pressing on her forehead, "No. I can't let them take Valeria away. I won't let it happen!" All of these wouldn't have happened if Gavin did not support Savannah in the past to separate her from Archer. So, Valeria had no ties with the Saunders. Natalie would never let them take Valeria away from her. Valeria was her child, and only hers. On the other side of the city, Raymond had been driving without a destination after he left the Wolf Group Hotel. He told William he was heading to catch a drink, but he didn't know where to go. He wasn't in the right mood. Just th
William didn't seem to mind that Raymond and Abbie met at the bar. What really caught his attention was the meeting between Gavin and Valeria. Gavin's motive was clear to him. He knew Gavin went through all those troubles to get closer to Valeria so that she would let him take her back to the Saunders in the future. And William wasn't very fond of this idea. He was foreseeing something more than that. If Valeria found out who Gavin really was, she would definitely go mad. Just how did Gavin think Valeria would be happy to reunite with him. Besides, Gavin's little tricks to get Valeria back would definitely catch other people's attention. Savannah would be the first to notice it, followed by Hayden and Archer. William thought it was too soon for Gavin to bring everything to light, but he didn't have a good reason to stop Gavin from meeting Valeria. After all, they were supposed to be separated. As much as William was troubled, Valeria came back in a g
Upon hearing that, Charles left the dining table and went to his study. Closing the door behind him, he noticed that something wasn't right with Savannah. "What is it this time?" he asked. Savannah showed the text to Charles, "Look." "What…" Charles was startled by the message. "What is this all about? Who's this person?" "I don't know. I would have settled him by myself if I knew who the hell this person is," Savannah cursed at the person. "Charles, what do I do now? I have totally no idea where this b*stard is from. What if he is just playing tricks on me?" "I don't think it's that easy. He probably knows some details... But don't worry too much since you've destroyed all the evidence at that time. They don't have any other evidence anyway," Charles tried to comfort her. "Yes, I know. But what if this person really knows something and makes it big? Archer is already waiting for a
Back at the quiet farmhouse, Natalie had recovered from another intense headache. Drenched in sweat, she headed towards the bathroom to take a bath. And she saw her reflection in the mirror, still graceful as usual. She was already fifty years old, but she looked like she hadn't aged a day since her thirties. After a hot bath, Natalie felt more energized, and the memories that had faded began to come back to her little by little. She couldn't help thinking of Archer, especially her past with him, his handsome face, sweet gentleness, and his betrayal. It still hurt her every time she thought of it. She was kept in the dark about Archer and Savannah's relationship for so long until Savannah got pregnant and came to flaunt to her about it. Naturally, Natalie was livid about it. Since then, she fought with Archer so many times, and every time she was promised that she was the love of his life. He also assured her that he would marry her, but in the end,
