Seeing that Valeria was angry at Archer, Gavin immediately chimed in, "Valeria, it's my fault. I wasn't thinking clearly back then. Your father had no choice but to go with it!" "You were in the wrong too, but he's worse than you! It's all his fault!" As he heard her words, Archer lowered his head in guilt. Seeing that he did not refute her accusations, she didn't continue. She just picked up the menu angrily and began to order food. All the dishes she ordered were spicy because she was furious at the moment. However, she took into consideration that Gavin was old, so she ordered two dishes that suited his palate. In truth, she didn't have any appetite to eat, and she had just wanted to spend Archer's money. After the dishes were served, she felt that her behavior was a little ridiculous and useless. Archer had so much money, so he wouldn't mind the money spent on this meal, right? She lowered her head and ate as Gavin kept putting food on her plate, with
"Talitha is your cousin, she's Raelyn's daughter!" After Abbie said that, she realized that she should have worded her sentence better because Valeria hadn't accepted Archer as her real father yet. "Look at my big mouth, you haven't decided to accept your father yet. Anything to do with Raelyn shouldn't matter to you. By the way, how was the lunch today?" Valeria sighed and said, "It was okay, but all my feelings are pent up. My mother has suffered so much because of him, but he was apologizing the whole time, so I don't think he's a bad person. Even though I've only met him a few times, I know that he's different from Ronald. He carefully reads my mood and is afraid of upsetting me by saying the wrong things. Also, he doesn't get mad at me no matter how harsh my words are. After living for more than twenty years, this might be my first time experiencing fatherly love..." "Valeria, if that's the case, then you should just accept him as your father. Why are you torturi
In a room of the Wolf Group's hotel, Talitha acted like a spoiled child as soon as she saw Gavin. She had spoken for two to three hours and still felt like she hadn't finished what she wanted to say. However, Gavin was a little tired, so he looked at the time and said, "Talitha, grandpa is tired, I'm going to rest for a bit." "Alright! I'll rest in the guest room too. I'll ask uncle to treat us to dinner tonight." She answered familiarly. "I'm afraid your uncle doesn't have time..." "Then grandpa, you can treat me instead. Raymond and my aunt can join us too." She immediately chimed in. He frowned and said, "I don't have time either. Let's do it some other day!" "Grandpa, do you not like me anymore? Did I do something wrong?" She pouted and looked sad. "No, you didn't. Why would I hate you?" "You don't? I realized that you treat me differently now. In the past, you would have a lot of things to talk to me about, but today you weren't very
William felt a little disgusted when he saw how Ronald was acting in front of him. He wondered what Savannah was thinking when she set Natalie and Ronald up together. Maybe Savannah wanted to embarrass Natalie? It was obvious that Natalie would never fall in love with such a disgusting man, so Savannah's plan had ultimately failed. He thought to himself and looked at Ronald with a fake smile. "Your problem has been settled. You're free now!" "Really? Thank you, William! Thank you so much!" There was a hint of excitement on Ronald's face. "You don't have to thank me. I came here because I've got one more thing for you to do." "What is it?" He hesitated for a moment before asking. "Haven't you always dreamed of marrying into the rich? Natalie wasn't that much of a wealthy woman in B City, so I will find you a daughter of a rich and powerful family. You can live a good life from now on." "William, are you kidding?" Ronald did not believe that such a go
Seeing that Abbie and Valeria had arrived, Gavin's mood immediately lightened up. "Oh! They're here!" "Mmm." Valeria nodded in greeting as her gaze landed on Paisley. Why was she here? When she saw Talitha, who was sitting next to Paisley, Valeria was stunned. It was the woman who had bumped into her shoulder at the Wolf Group this afternoon! When Talitha saw Valeria, she immediately stood up with a smile and said, "You must be Valeria! I'm sorry for what happened this afternoon! I'm really sorry, are you okay?" "Hah! Can she be okay?" Abbie let out a mocking laugh and looked at her with disdain. Gavin and Archer, who were oblivious to what had happened, asked, "What happened?" Valeria didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she answered nonchalantly, "She accidentally bumped into me at the hotel this afternoon." "I really didn't mean to..." Talitha said apologetically. Valeria did not mention anything else, so Abbie spoke up for her
Talitha felt upset too when she saw what was happening in front of her. No matter where she went, she was always the center of attention. But tonight, Andrew and Raymond were cold towards her, while William completely ignored her. Not only that, but even the men in their family were treating Valeria with the utmost care too, so Talitha was jealous and she hated her. There was fur on William's body, so he went to wash his hands. Valeria followed him out of the room to help clean up the fur on his body beside the sink. While the two washed their hands, William grabbed her shoulders, wanting to kiss her. However, she whined in pain at his touch, "Ouch! My shoulder hurts!" "What's wrong?" "Talitha bumped into me at the entrance of the Wolf Group Hotel, and it's all bruised up now. I don't know what was up with her bag." Her words made him narrow his eyes in suspicion. "She bumped into you at the Wolf Group Hotel? Had it been crowded back then?" "No
Talitha had never been so humiliated before. When she left, she thought that Archer and Gavin would stop her from leaving. However, everyone in the room treated her as if she was invisible. Except for Paisley, who followed her out, no one cared about her. After she was safely inside her car, her tears started streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably. As she saw this, Paisley took out a tissue and handed it to her. "Talitha, don't be angry!" "How can I not be angry? Look at my grandfather and uncle. How could they do this to me? Valeria is just a b*tch some woman gave birth to, so why are they treating her like something precious?! And what's with William? Doesn't he know that he and Valeria and relatives? I don't believe they'll get married that easily!" Talitha and Paisley were classmates, and they were super close, so she did not hide Valeria and Archer's relationship from Paisley and was cursing angrily. Paisley sighed and helped Talitha wipe her tears
After Talitha and Paisley went their separate ways, Talitha called Savannah and said, "Aunt, I'm here in B City now. Are you free? Let's meet up." On the other end, Savannah replied enthusiastically, "Alright, I'll be right out. It's dinnertime, so I'll treat you to a big meal! Let's go someplace nice." Half an hour later, they arrived at a high-end restaurant in the city. Talitha had already calmed herself down and redid her makeup, and they chatted while entering a private room in the restaurant. "Talitha, did you just arrive today?" Savannah asked with a loving smile. "Yes, at noon." "Aww, then why are you only calling me now?" She asked in a reproachful tone. "I thought that you were busy, so I didn't want to bother you and visited Raymond first. However, I didn't expect to encounter something like this." She sighed as she told Savannah what happened at dinner. "Aunt, Valeria is the child of my uncle and that b*tch. If he wants her to come
