Marcus left the conference room and returned to his office, where he saw Valeria looking worried. She stood up as soon as she saw Marcus came in. Marcus smiled kindly at her, "Have your seat, please, Miss Brown. What do you want to see me about?" "She says your driver is in trouble and wants your help." Richard continued slowly, "By the way, where is your driver? Is he really in trouble?" "Nope. My driver is fine." Marcus sat down with a smile. "Is he really fine?" Marcus's words took a load off Valeria's mind, however, she frowned instantly, "I can't get through his phone. Why doesn't he answer it if nothing's wrong?" "Signal problems or battery hitting empty. Don't worry, he's totally fine." In spite of such assurances, Valeria was still not reassured, "Mr. Field, actually, here's the thing..." Then she told them what she had learned from Mason, and about the cops calling her the same. Marcus dismissed the event and laughed nonchalantly
The words startled the deputy sheriff. Ronald was indeed nobody to Wolf Group. The last deputy sheriff ended up in prison for getting in the way of some big shot in Wolf Group, he knew it well. "God, I don't really have a clear conscience, what if they aren't leaving me alone? I'm likely to get dismissed in those things then?!" Thinking of this, the deputy sheriff was sweating profusely and said, "I'll do it right away. But could you please tell me what kind of trouble I'm in? A big one or small one?" "You tell me what it is if Marcus Field called you personally. Thank God, you only caused some trouble to his driver. If it was someone more important, you wouldn't be there!" After all, the deputy sheriff had worked here for many years, so the top leader added, "Do it right now. Marcus said that your man's call scared Miss Brown. Just handle this right now!" After hanging up the phone, the sheriff immediately order everyone to break off all on-going a
Julie and her daughter had no idea it would turn out this way, and they were furious. They were not alone. Mason was literally blazing with anger at thought of Marcus's excessive shielding to his driver. Mason told Elizabeth about it, "Aunt Elizabeth, Marcus goes too far. It was a real slap in the face when he stood up for that driver. He never fluffed us off." Elizabeth was painting her nails when she heard the words that made her glance at Mason. "So what's on your head? You putting me up to persuade your uncle to go against with Marcus? Do you think I'm stupid? To get in Dutch with Marcus for an illegitimate daughter's sake?" Mason blushed for Elizabeth's words. He was indeed trying to make mischief between them to make Elizabeth convince Charles to go against with Marcus. To be seen through by Elizabeth, Mason felt embarrassed . "I'm only asking for uncle to put pressure on Marcus. He's just a chauffeur. Marcus doesn't have to be on a war p
William did not go back to Lake View Nest this night. Valeria woke up in the morning, saw nothing around her, and thought William had not come home again. "Does Marcus have to call William in the middle of the night to tell him to go to work?" "And Bob never comes back after being called away at night. They are not doing things Rated-R, are they?" Valeria was stunned when she imagined Marcus pulling William to the bed. She became more and more suspicious of their relationship. "But, given Bob's strength, he shouldn't have been pulled down by Marcus." "Besides, he always looks like that he's not getting enough of me, it doesn't make sense that he is bisexual. Furthermore, even if they have an affair, they won't be so blatant." "Enough daytime for them to hook up, why bother to take the night?" "So I must be out of my mind." But Valeria still felt uneasy. She had to get back to work immediately. Work and money could make her build confidence in f
Julie looked at Valeria with a triumphant look on her face while Valeria was angry, "Your home? You wish. I will never let you get into here. Get out of my home now" "No, I won't leave. Not only will I live here rightfully, but I will also make you call me mom!" Julie provoked. Valeria picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Security, come and get this woman out of here!" "I'm sorry, Miss Brown. Mr. Brown said that the person who lives here is his girlfriend, so we can't do anything about it." It was clear that the security guards around the villa were following Ronald's orders, and they were not listening to Valeria as they had last time. Valeria was at her wit end. The sight of Valeria's appearance made Julie smile. Valeria got something more important to do now or she would give Julie box on the ear. The Legal Affairs of the the Howard family sent her a lawyer's letter, which demanded one hundred million dollars. Valeria left the Brown hou
Upon hearing Valeria's words, Mason laughed out loud, "Valeria, are you losing your mind? One billion dollars? How did you get it? Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Valeria held the phone with a blank face and said slowly after Mason's laughter faded away. "You're the stupid one, Mason. You probably have forgotten who I am. I'm the young lady of the Brown family. The significant difference between us is that you are a poor man who has lost the protection of his family while I am the one with enough money. Whatever the Wolf Group wants, the Browns are going to pay for me!" "In your dreams. Uncle Brown had cast you away. How could he pay for it, for you?" "Why not? The company was established by my mom and dad together, and my mom owned twenty percent more in shares than my dad. And I don't have to remind you that my mom's shares have been left to me. Or you are thinking about the shares having gone to Ashley when I was away from home? That makes you extremely naive." Mason
This slap was so heavy that Ashley's face was turned aside. Ashley covered her numb face with hand and calmed herself down, then her eyes met Valeria's angry eyes slits of fury. "Ashley! F*ckiing b*tch! You have no shame!" Valeria was waiting in the car for William to buy medicine several minutes ago when she suddenly found Ashley was in the pharmacy. Seeing Ashley stop William, she rushed out of the car out of some bad feelings. And she met Ashley, so shameless a woman, a man-stealing b*tch. Valeria just could not tolerate it, she stepped forward and gave her a hand, vigorously. William was also startled by Valeria's toughness. He, however, changed into another look in an instant. With an aggrieved look on his face, William said, "It's not me! It was she who seduced me first. I didn't do anything! You know my heart!" Ashley covered her face and looked at William telling her on Valeria in such a look, speechless and angry. "Why are you a
This made Valeria confused, "Why do you say that? Are you gonna break up with me?" "No, what are you thinking about? It just occurred to me to ask you." Valeria stared at him for a while and sneered, "Yeah. I will ask you for my money and your life!" "Wow, you're so mean. You didn't even want Mason to pay you back, why are you so cruel to me?" "Because I will never leave you unless you betray me! And that will get yourself killed!" "It's an expression. Don't be so mean to me." William shook his head but thought, "A cold-hearted woman! Why I'm treated so differently? It can't be." With swollen mouth, Ashley naturally dare not go back to the hotel, so she called Julie to meet her out immediately. Soon, Julie was out and saw Ashley, whose face was distorted and broken, which turned her in a great fury. "Who did this to you?" "Valeria!" Ashley answered with a sad face. "Why did Valeria hit you? You provoked her again?" Julie felt
