After Raelyn finished speaking, Savannah burst out all of a sudden, "Are you sure? How is that possible!?" "Relax," Raelyn waved her hand dismissively. "It's only a suspicion, and we've not confirmed it yet." "So... you might be wrong? Geez, you gave me such a fright!" Savannah heaved a sigh of relief. "But, nine out of ten, the rumor might be real. Think about it, why would Paisley, such a stuck-up and prideful woman, be so determined to marry William if he's not the president of the Wolf Group?" "Well, because he's good-looking?" "What about my dad, then? Do you think he would accept a useless man like William to be his grandson-in-law? And Archer, too! Why do you think they put in so much effort to plot against you and Ronald? Isn't it so that Valeria could rightfully marry William? If William were what you think he was, they couldn't possibly go to such extents for him." "You'r
Raelyn felt like she had been punched in the face, but she managed to collect herself immediately, "You look like both your mom and your dad. You inherited both of their best qualities!" Talitha, who had been talking sweetly to Gavin, took this opportunity to chime in, "Valeria is so beautiful. Her beauty took my breath away the first time I saw her." Valeria simply looked at her with a faint smile, "You must be kidding, Ms. Anderson. I only remembered you throwing your bag at me and badly bruising my arm when we first met. Had I really taken your breath away, as you put it?" Talitha was flustered at this. Being the peacemaker, Raymond immediately tried to change the topic, "I think lunch will be ready soon. Grandpa had asked the kitchen to cook crabs today. We're going to have a feast!" "Really?" Talitha put on her act again. "I loved coming to grandpa's house for crabs when I was a child, but I never get t
Unlike Hayden, who was furious, William was all smiles, "Dad, did you come all the way here just to scold and hit me?" "Of course not! Tell me, are you the one who did those things to Paisley?" William shook his head, "No!" "Stop lying. I know it's you, you brat. I can't believe you actually did that just to make me give up on Paisley. Are you even aware of what you're doing?" Hayden just wouldn't believe William. "I said it wasn't me! I'll admit it if I really did do it. And why do I need to lie to you anyway?" William said as he spread his arms. "Really? Then who else could it be?" Hayden knew William well. If he had said so, then it must be someone else behind this. William frowned, "Please stop talking about Paisley. I don't really care about strangers. Did you come all the way here to stand up for her?" "Of course not. I came here for something important! We need to
Paisley spent a whole night thinking about her options before she called Raelyn. William was sitting not far away from her when she embarrassed herself the night earlier and he wouldn't have just let her be if he had even the slightest feelings for her. Her heart ached as though it was being stabbed at when she recalled how William looked on with cold eyes while she was molested by the stranger. She was no fool. After everything that had happened, Paisley wasn't expecting to be with William anymore. If she couldn't get him, Paisley wouldn't let anyone else have him too. But she and Hardy didn't have enough strength to ruin him, so she needed help, and the people that came into her mind immediately were Savannah and Raelyn. Since William was hiding his identity from everyone, he must be brewing something. And judging by the current situation, Savannah and Raelyn probably had no idea who exactly William was yet. So, the first thing that Paisley had planned to do w
At 6 in the evening, William came to pick up Valeria at the Brownard Group. Since she was on her period, Valeria looked pale and haggard, and this made William very worried, "I've ordered the chef at Wolf Group to make some soup for you. Let's have dinner and spend our night there. You really shouldn't go to work tomorrow. Just be good and take some rest, okay?" Seeing how much William cared for her, Valeria agreed without arguing. "I'll do as you say. Because I know my husband only wants what's best for me!" "That's right!" William smiled as he held her in his arms. Valeria then remembered her missed call to William earlier. She asked him curiously, "Why can't I reach you earlier? Did you see my text?" "I switched my phone off for an important meeting this afternoon. And yes, I saw your text after the meeting. But it was already past lunchtime, so I didn't reply." "Thank goodness you were
After Devon confirmed from Raelyn that William was indeed the president of the Wolf Group, he immediately called Lucian to inform her about William's identity. Then, he ordered Lucian to transfer Natalie out of the Juxemburg Hospital as soon as possible. Upon hearing the news, Lucian did not dare delay and executed his order right away. Soon, the nanny who had been taking care of Natalie had started to pack her belongings, and when Natalie noticed that something was wrong, she asked to go to the bathroom and had secretly sent a message to William. William replied almost immediately after she sent the message, asking Natalie to stall for time and to leave the rest to him. As William had told her, she left the ward under the escort of her nanny and bodyguards after stalling for half an hour. Surrounded by them, she went straight to the parking lot, where a car was there waiting for their arrival. Soon, the car left the parking lot without being stopped, and
Soon, when Raymond and Gavin arrived at the ward, Valeria and Natalie had stopped crying and had wiped away their tears. Gavin, however, was a little embarrassed when he saw that Natalie was still alive. Despite being embarrassed, he apologized to Natalie for what he had done. "It was all my fault back then. Please forgive me for doing those stupid things! I'm so glad that you all have finally reunited as a family. From now on, I will never harm you again, and you could be together with Archer happily." As Gavin apologized, Natalie stared blankly at him and did not answer. On the other hand, Raymond was a little shocked as he tentatively called, "Mom!" The situation was completely different from the last time when he saw Natalie in the hospital. This time, Natalie had no reaction when Raymond called her, and Gavin was stunned by this. "What's going on? What's wrong with her?" "She doesn't remember us now!" Archer replied as he smiled bitterly. "How..
Valeria was a little worried after hearing William's reply. "Hubby, Savannah and Raelyn are so ruthless. Do you think that they would hurt my mother?" "No, your mother is not a weakling. In fact, she's a strong and independent woman! Don't worry, your mother would be safe even without your father's protection." "But Lucian is a pain in the a*s! Savannah and Raelyn are easy to deal with because they have obvious targets, unlike Lucian, we don't even know what her intention is. If it wasn't for Raymond, that b*stard, I wouldn't be worried at all. I'm just afraid that he'll mess things up!" "You're right. The way Lucian treated your mother was not that bad, to be honest. Besides having drugged your mother to make her suffer from amnesia, she was always on her toes to serve your mother well. So what's her purpose for doing this?" William couldn't figure it out as well. Valeria guessed, "Is she teaming up with Devon to make a move on the Saunders family's inheritance
