Valeria waited for almost an hour in the pawn. Several staffs took magnifying glasses and carefully studied her jewelry one by one. Finally, they finished.

"These jewels are all real. I will report to our boss immediately. Miss Brown, what is your estimated price?"

Of course a hundred million dollars. But Valeria knew the jewels weren't worth that much.

She had also learned to be smart now, "What do you think the highest price can be offered?"

"Let's ask the leaders and then make a bid for you. Please wait for a moment, Miss Brown."

Less than ten minutes, they replied, "Miss Brown, our boss said that he would pay you 100 million dollars for your jewels."

"One hundred million?" Valeria was stunned. She suspected that she had heard it wrong.

The staff repeated it again. Valeria was shocked.

"But when I bought these jewelry, I didn't spend so much money. Isn't the pawn supposed to reduce the price? How could it be so much higher than the ori

    Ronald found the secretary's words a little strange, so he immediately turned on the news to have a check. Seeing that Valeria became the focus of attention at the banquet and the VCR of Wolf Group's boss, Ronald immediately began to think about it. The reason why he let Ashley and Julie move into the villa was not simply to make up for them. It was because he wanted to get connected with the Howard family, while Mason, the only nephew of Elizabeth, was deeply taken care of by Elizabeth and Charles. Ronald thought that Valeria and Mason would get married, but he didn't expect that Mason would change his mind and fall in love with Ashley. After Ashley revealed her identity to Ronald, Ronald thought that since Mason did not like Valeria, it would be the same that he fell in love with Ashley. Anyway, his ultimate goal was to rely on Mason to help him get connected with the Howard family. That was why he acquiesced in what had happened. The secreta

    It was Ronald on the phone. In the morning, she called Ronald, but he didn't answer. Now he called her on the phone. He must be calling now to scold her for driving Ashley and Julie out of the house. Valeria picked up the phone and waited to see what Ronald was going to say to her. But unexpectedly, there was no anger in Ronald's voice on the other end of the phone. "Valeria, where are you?" "What's wrong?" Valeria replied coldly. "I asked the nanny to prepare the dishes you like. Come back for dinner." Did the sun rise from the west? Ronald actually took the initiative to care about her. Valeria now did not believe Ronald anymore. She continued to answer coldly, "I'm eating outside." "Will you come back at night?" Ronald asked again. "No, I don't want to go back." Valeria refused. "My dear, why don't you go home? What kind of animosity can there be between parents and children? You see, I have asked them to leave as you asked. You

    William tossed and turned with a stomachache. Unable to take it anymore, he called Marcus and asked him to ask someone to take him to the hospital. The doorbell rang and the person Marcus arranged came over. Valeria held William and said, "You don't feel well? I'll call the doctor now." "The doctor is already here. Just open the door." Valeria opened the door and saw a doctor in a white gown standing at the door. She immediately invited the doctor in. The doctor saw that William was in great pain and his pale face was covered with sweat. Not daring to waste time, he immediately suggested sending William to hospital for treatment. Valeria, who was in a state of confusion, followed doctors to the hospital in her nightgown. After the examination, William took some medicine and was put on a drip. Valeria breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa, looking at William, "Are you trying to scare me to death? You're not feeling well. Why didn't you wake me

    Ronald put on an embarrassed smile as he heard Valeria's blunt question. "The main thing is to invite you to dinner. Of course, I have something else to ask you." "Oh." Valeria knew that it was just a cover to invite her to dinner. With a deadpan face, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat. Ronald thought that she would continue to ask him about something, but he didn't expect that Valeria would start to eat without saying anything. Suppressing his anger and unhappiness, he picked up a piece of shrimp for Valeria, "Well, I read on the news that you know the president of Wolf Group. Is it true?" "Of course not," Valeria replied. "I knew it. The president of Wolf Group never showed up and how could he possibly know you? Then why did you wear a custom-made dress at the feast that day?" "The president of Wolf Group gave it to me." Valeria replied. It was very clear that Valeria had been invited to dinner and was treated well just beca

    Valeria rushed into the inpatient building. The elevator stopped and the CEO of Wolf Group, Marcus, walked out of it. They met face to face. Valeria was stunned for a moment. Marcus greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Miss Brown!" "Hello, Mr. Field!" Valeria came to her senses and responded. Marcus walked away with a smile. Valeria looked at his back and felt a little strange, "Why is Marcus so friendly to me?" "And who did he come to the inpatient department for?" Then she went straight to the ward while William was lying on the bed and having an intravenous drip. When he saw Valeria come in, he smiled and said, "You're back? You don't look very well. Did something bad happen?" "How do you know something bad happened? I was so angry just now." Valeria told William how she had been bullied by Mason in the company. A dangerous glint flashed across William's eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Valeria did not notice it and contin

    When William's face touched Valeria's lips, time stood still and they stared at each other. After a while, a tingle of red flew from Valeria's face. She retreated a few steps back in a hurry and stood still, in a flurry. "I didn't mean it. Why did you turn around? You did it on purpose, didn't you? You're really shameless!" William laughed, "Can you tell me why I'm shameless?" "You are!" Valeria blushed and her lips seemed to retain some of the heat from his face. What a strange feeling. Her heart was thumping. Would young Master William think she had kissed him on purpose? She had to explain, "Let me tell you, I am not interested in you. I just accidentally touched you. Don't think too much." "Did you accidentally touch my face with your lips? Isn't your explanation too far-fetched? I'll forgive you, so you don't have to explain." "Isn't he too shameless?" She thought, "I'm just making it clear." William asked slowly, "Don't you th

    In the Hospital of B City, rapid footsteps sound in the quiet corridors of the VIP senior ward. Dressed in casual attire, William strode through the corridor with four bodyguards and headed straight for Master Howard's ward. Outside the ward stood Master Howard's bodyguards and caretakers. When they suddenly saw William, they were so excited. Especially Tracy Baker, the caretaker of Master Howard, came over and said, "Young Master William! Young Master William, you are back!" "Hm! What's going on with my dad?" "He's not very well. He has been talking about you all the time. It's good that you're back. The sight of you will make him half better." As she spoke, she pushed open the door of the ward. Master Howard, who was lying on the bed, heard the voice and was trying to sit up. William quickly walked in and stretched out to hold Master Howard, "Dad, you've lost a lot of weight!" "My child, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? If I hadn'

    Driving back to the Lake View Nest, William saw Valeria watching TV in the living room. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Valeria did not turn back and continued to stare intently at the TV. William walked over to her with a smile and took him seated by her side, "Why didn't you answer my call?" Without a word, Valeria just continued to stare at the TV screen. "I'm talking to you. Why don't you answer me?" William reached out to touch her hand. Valeria threw off his hand, "I don't want to talk to you. Get out of my sight!" "What makes you so angry? Is it about my discharge? I'm trying to surprise you." Then he pulled a bunch of flowers from behind his back and handed them to Valeria with a big smile on his face, "Thank you for taking care of me when I was sick. It's a thank-you gift." Valeria stared at the bright flowers in his hand. So beautiful and fresh the rose was! "A bunch of flowers for me? Is this an apology?" She

    On the day of Azalea's recovery, she was escorted out of the hospital by two police officers to wait for her sentence. She was wearing shackles and handcuffs as she walked through the parking lot. She saw Michael with Abbie, who was holding Emma in her arms. Michael was holding Abbie's waist, ready to get into their car. Seeing that Michael had recovered, Azalea was extremely perplexed. She had learned from the police that Leonard's man had tried to kill her to silence her and knew that Leonard was using her, so she did not regret her vicious behavior. Azalea stared at the child in Abbie's arms and Michael as she started to have vicious thoughts. If the one who got injured that day was Abbie, and if Abbie died, everything would be different now, wouldn't it? Michael would be living a life worse than death. His child would not have a mother anymore, and no one could have what she couldn't. She would be satisfied. However, all of this was just her imaginatio

    After Leonard's matter was settled, Richard returned to the Clark family. Abbie wasn't asleep yet and was sitting alone in the living room in a daze. Richard walked to her and sat down. Then, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "I can't sleep. Richard, he... he will be fine, won't he?" "Don't think too much. He will be fine." "I don't want anything to happen to him... Richard, I actually hate him very much and have never thought of being with him again. I have suffered enough! Every time I made up my mind to cut all ties with him, something bad would happen like what happened now. Richard, what should I do?" Richard understood Abbie's dilemma. "Abbie, do you still love him?" "I don't know! I hate him! I hate him so much!" "You can't let him go, can you? You and he broke up three times, but he has always been in your heart." Richard sighed. "To be honest, I don't want you and him to start over again. After

    It was late at night in Azalea's ward as she lay on the bed and fell asleep with her eyes closed. Three of Azalea's ribs were broken while one of her hands was handcuffed to the hospital bed. The policeman guarding her felt that there was no way she could escape, so he relaxed his guard. The man who was arranged by Leonard's assistant had been waiting for the right moment in the hospital. Then, they immediately entered the ward and attacked Azalea when they saw that the policeman had left. Just as they covered Azalea's mouth and were about to suffocate her to death, a soft voice could be heard by the door of the ward. "Hey! Are you trying to silence her?" The man turned his head and saw that Bobby were taking photos with his mobile phone while Silas was bent over in laughter. Later, Leonard was woken up at 2 a.m. in the morning when Richard and his bodyguards came to visit him furiously. Leonard had already guessed the purpose of Richard's visit as soon as

    It had been two days since Leonard's assistant brought Azalea back to the city and she was specially sent here today to attack Michael. Although Azalea hated Michael, she did love him immensely in the past and she didn't want to kill him. The one she hated the most was still Abbie. She had been overshadowed by Abbie since she was a child and she had never won against her before. It was all thanks to Abbie now that she ended up like this. Michael wouldn't deal with her if it weren't for Abbie, and she wouldn't have been driven to a dead end like this. She was going to die in the end anyway, so she wanted nothing more than to drag Abbie down with her. She knew that she couldn't get close to Abbie. Besides, she also knew very well that Leonard wanted to use her to kill Michael so that he could marry Abbie. Azalea acted as if she had been persuaded by Leonard's assistant to attack Michael, but in fact, her target was Abbie all along. She saw how desperat

    Azalea looked up when she heard the voice and met Leonard's assistant's gaze in the car. She stopped crying once he got out of the car. "Miss Clark, I've been looking for you everywhere!" Azalea lowered her head frantically when she saw him, but he said warmly, "Miss Clark, get in the car." She didn't know if Leonard's assistant knew about the murder she'd committed, so she hesitated for a moment before getting into the car. He then gave her a bottle of water and some food. Azalea was famished because she hadn't eaten anything for a few days, so she wolfed down her food desperately. Leonard's assistant had been observing Azalea all this time, and he said once she finished eating, "I know what you've done! The police are now looking for you everywhere." Azalea's expression was filled with panic. "Are you going to hand me over to the police?" "No, I'm here to help you." "How can you do that?" Azalea asked in frustration. "I won't be a

    It started to rain again early in the morning, which made the air in the mountains damp and cold. Meanwhile, Azalea lay motionlessly on the messy bed. She could hear the child's wailing from outside while Monthel's mother tried to coax the child. However, there was no sign of it ending even after some time. Monthel's mother started to become angry as well, so she scolded the child and eventually began to target Azalea again. "Why are you still lying in bed at this time? I've never seen someone as lazy as you. A wife should get up early in the morning to cook, but you are the only one who will laze around like this!" This was not the first time that Azalea had been scolded. Monthel's mother had begun to pick on her the second day after she arrived. Azalea would fight back initially, but she no longer dared to talk back after she was slapped in the face by Monthel. Monthel's mother cursed outside for a while. Then, she lifted the curtain and came into the ro

    Leonard's expression turned very ugly, but Richard did not give him a chance to even catch his breath. "After I learnt of your relationship with her, I sent someone to extract the DNA of the fetus in Evelyn's belly and compare it with yours. The results show that she's indeed pregnant with your child, but you can verify it personally if you don't believe me." Since Richard dared to say this, there was no possibility for Leonard to turn the tables. The veins on Leonard's forehead bulged as he was filled with humiliation. He initially wanted to get back at Fandrey by asking him to propose the marriage to the Clark family, but she ended up being embarrased like this. He was furious, but Richard continued, "We are very grateful to you for saving Abbie's life. Although she can't marry you, we can continue to be friends if you want to." What could Leonard say? He had done a terrible mistake, so he couldn't possibly tell Richard that he wanted to cut all ties between t

    Abbie tried her best to escape, but it was useless. Michael even kissed her on the face a few times, which made her so angry that her voice trembled. "Michael... F*ck you... I'm going to kill you!" Michael turned a deaf ear to her words because he hadn't been so close to Abbie for such a long time. He missed her like crazy, so how could he bring himself to let her go? Abbie kept struggling desperately, but her physical strength was no match for Michael's. Michael then carried her back to the sofa, which made her furious because she couldn't escape. "Michael, what are you trying to do?" Michael did not answer her at all. Instead, he just hugged her so tightly as if he didn't want to let her go at all. He hugged her for such a long time that her whole body had gone numb. "Michael, what's wrong with you? Let go of me! I can't move!" It was only then did Michael let go of Abbie. Her limbs had already gone numb and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Just t

    Michael happily placed the coffee he ordered for Abbie in front of her. "Here, I've ordered your favourite coffee." However, Abbie sneered and picked up the coffee to splash it all over him. The coffee was very hot, but Michael just smiled bitterly and said, "Do you hate me so much?" "What do you think?" Abbie looked at Michael coldly without any affection in her eyes. "My feelings for you have never changed! What happened between me and Azalea is all fake, and I've never had anything to do with her. The news with Anastasia was also fake. I was the one who used her to provoke Azalea, but Leonard made up those news articles to get back at me. I swear, I haven't been with anyone else apart from you!" Abbie let out a cold laugh, "Really?" "I'm serious! I swear that I'm not lying to you!" "There's no need to swear, or else even you'll beleive your own lies." Michael became desperate when it was obvious that Abbie didn't believe him. "What do I have
