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,
Natalie's thought was cut off by a door knock. She opened the door, and Lucian slipped in. "Why are you here? I told you not to come over. Send someone else to come if there's something important. People are going to notice you," Natalie complained. "I know, I'm just worried. How are you holding up? Did the pain hit again today?" Lucian was concerned as usual. "Yeah, it did," Natalie answered. "Take the painkillers if it hurts. I bought a few more bottles for you," Lucian said as she took out the bottles from her pocket and put them on the bedside table. Natalie took a glance at the painkillers and turned to her, "You can't be here only to give me the painkillers." "Yes, I want to talk to you about Sir Gavin meeting Miss," Lucian sat down. "I think there's a good way to solve that problem." "How is that?" "Since you hate Savannah and Archer, then we'll start
Archer fell silent. For a while, all Lamont could hear was Archer's heavy breathing. Archer was startled by the news. He never thought that he would have a daughter, what's more, Natalie and his daughter! Then, it dawned on him that he had a child with the woman he loved the most. The realization brought him so much joy that he was frozen in place, and he couldn't even give an appropriate reaction. Archer had no problem sealing hundreds of millions worth of business deals, yet he didn't know what to do with the sudden piece of good news. "President, are you still listening?" Lamont urged in a lowered voice when he didn't get Archer's reply. "I… What is going on?" Archer's voice trembled with excitement. "Lamont, why did you hide it from me?" "It's a long story. President Saunders, now that you know who Miss Brown really is, what are you going to do?" "I don't know," Archer answered truthfully. He always t
After letting Valeria take Oreo and Mocha with her, Gavin returned to his newly bought home, humming in happiness. The bungalow had been scrubbed clean before he moved in. And upon careful inspection, Gavin felt that although it wasn't as luxurious as the Saunders manor, it was still passable. He then walked to the room specially prepared for Valeria. Its decorations were mainly in pink color, with several dolls and teddy bears arranged atop the bed. Valeria would definitely like it very much, Gavin thought to himself. Still humming, Gavin returned to the first floor only to be startled by the sight of Archer standing in the middle of the living room. He stopped short, "What are you doing here?" "How could I have not come after you kicked up such a big racket?" Archer sat down on the couch. Archer's appearance here at the bungalow alone made Gavin convinced that Archer had already found out about the news too. He shrugged, "I can't
Hayden was stunned by Paisley's bluntness, "Of course! Why did you have to ask?" "I had my people to follow Valeria after those I sent to shadow William were seriously injured. And they told me that Valeria has been going to Wolf Group Hotel for the past few days. So I'm assuming that she's now living in the Wolf Group Hotel." "But what does that have anything to do with William? Is he living in that hotel too?" Hayden asked. "I don't know where he is now living, but might I remind you that he and Marcus from the Wolf Group have a very close relationship?" Paisley prompted. "And you think William and Valeria are, in fact, still together?" Paisley nodded, "Yes, that's what I think. But, unfortunately, I have no evidence to back it up. Oh right, Valeria brought a black cat and a black dog back to Wolf Group after work this evening. They both belong to Sir Gavin." "What?" Hayden raise
