Ronald was stunned for a moment. Valeria was telling the truth. Valeria had money of her own. If she was to compensate, she would have to use her money first. No wonder Valeria wasn't worried at all. She must have already thought about it a long time ago. Ronald was pissed off. "You unfilial daughter, good at nothing but spending money!" "I'll spend it as I'd like!" Valeria talked back, "You wish I leave it to the mistress and her daughter?" "You!" Ronald was so angry that he gasped. He tried to hit Valeria, but Valeria took a few steps back and looked at him with a cold face. "If you hit me, I will sue you! If you don't want to be embarrassed, you'd better control yourself!" Ronald was shocked and angry with Valeria being snarky. However, there was nothing he could do. He didn't want to get into such a bad relationship with Valeria. He tried his best to suppress his anger. "Your mother is not in the world any longer, and I'm still so you
Ashley and Mason had gone to see Athena not just to cheer her up, but to intimidate her into silence. They meant to make Athena know that the Howard family was behind them. In order to force Athena to join them, they used both coercion and seduction. Nobody knew that Athena had already been discovered by Marcus. Marcus was straightforward. He directly told her that they were clear about what she and Ashley had done. It would be smart of her to choose the right side or she could end up in prison. Athena never thought that Ashley was not only against Valeria, but also the Wolf Group. She was clever enough to know not to be enemy against Wolf Group. So she divulged everything right away. So the meeting with Athena was actually a trap. Athena brought a recording pen according to Marcus's instructions. The whole conversation was recorded, and also Mason and Ashley's ugliness. Athena handed the recording pen to Marcus, and Marcus immediately called the pol
When the interrogator arrived, Ashley had already peed in her pants. Seeing this, the interrogator scolded her loudly. "What's wrong with you? Are you crazy? Why didn't you call me if you needed the washroom? How embarrassing!" "I... I've called you, but no one heard me," Ashley said in shame and anger. "What are you crying for! Stop that and tell me everything if you want to leave this place. Or else you can just stay here!" The interrogator spoke to Ashley harshly. "You had better not think that you will be lucky enough to escape this! We all know what you've done, so you'd better start talking. Or else, we'll just send you to jail with the evidence we have now." Ashley did not answer and she continued crying. Seeing that she was not going to talk soon, the interrogator ignored her and left. Sitting in the interrogation room with her pants soaked, Ashley felt utterly disgusted and uncomfortable. Mason, who was in the room next to her, started
The bodyguard at the door of the ward greeted William respectfully as he arrived. "Is everything all right?" William asked calmly. "Yesterday, Madam Elizabeth brought her men over, but we stopped her. She was pissed and wanted to call you, but none of us spared her any attention." "Well done!" William said before he walked into the ward. Meanwhile, Hayden was already awake and eating breakfast. When he saw William, his face broke out into a grin, "You're here!" "Are you feeling better?" William sat down beside the bed. "I feel much better after seeing you!" Hayden stopped eating his food, and he reached out to grasp William's hand. "You look well, but thinner than you used to be." "Really?" William touched his face. "Yeah, I know you're tired because you have to take care of me." Hayden looked at his beloved son. "William, have you considered what I said to you earlier?&quo
Ronald thought that the news of Elizabeth hiring Michael as a lawyer was just a hearsay. However, he didn't expect to really see Michael in person. Michael pushed Ronald away. Then, he stood still and replied calmly, "It's me! Don't you recognize me, Mr. Brown?" "You guys... Are you really her lawyer?" "Yes! I'm the lawyer hired by Miss Brown." Michael said with a poker face. "Mr. Brown, I'm warning you now! As a family of the criminal suspect, you're now being suspected of personal attack by the threatening words that you said to my client. And I can sue you justifiably!" "She... she's my daughter!" Ronald was a little afraid after hearing Michael's words. Michael was obviously not joking. He could definitely do it if he really wanted to ruin him. "She is an independent being and you have no right to dictate her or threaten her to do things that are against her will. I have recorded everything just now. Mr. Brown, good luck!" "Uhm... ab
After Michael left, Elizabeth and Ronald were the only ones left in the room. Elizabeth looked at Ronald and said, "What's your plan, Mr. Brown?" "That wretch did such a shameless thing, and I really want to beat her to death. She should really be responsible for the apology." "I'm talking about the compensation. Ashley is the one who caused this trouble. Mr. Brown, you wouldn't be thinking of not paying for it, don't you?" Elizabeth reminded. "It's the Howard family and Mason who harmed Valeria, so Ashley is just an accomplice. However, she's at fault for framing her sister with those evil tactics. Therefore, I didn't intend to let her out, just let her be put into prison then." Ronald was extremely miserly when it came to money. Hence, how could he pay the compensation for Ashley? Elizabeth didn't expect Ronald to be such an unbelievable niggardly on the money. Then, she looked at Ronald coldly. "So, you don't want to cooperate with the Howar
Charles just wanted to take the time to prepare so that he could stop William from entering the company. However, he didn't expect that Hayden would be able to see through his thoughts. Hayden even suggested holding a board meeting to introduce William in person. Wasn't this going to ruin his plan? Charles was displeased, but he couldn't do anything about it. And he had no choice but to agree to it. However, Hayden had no intention to stop his plan. He had to teach his elder son a lesson, because Charles was too scheming so that he even tried to stop his brother from working in the company. Then, Hayden picked up the newspaper on the bedside table and asked, "What's the matter with Howard Group's apology?" "It's about one of the company's designers. There's some incident that happened, but it's all settled now." Charles said in a vague tone. "Is it a small matter that will even lead to an official apology from the Howard Group? I heard that Elizabet
At night, Valeria and Abbie went to the Revolving Restaurant together, and they chose the seat next to the window. Abbie wore a neutral outfit and her hair was fiery red, which made her skin appeared white and tender. Meanwhile, Valeria was dressed conservatively. She wore a white princess-like dress, and her long hair was tied into a bun. Her delicate face and her slender neck were captivating. Everyone's gaze was fixed on them the moment they entered the restaurant. The B City's Revolving Restaurant was exceptionally famous. People had to make an appointment in advance before they came, and the consumption rate was extraordinarily high. Abbie and Valeria were foodies, but they never gain weight no matter how much they eat. Once settled down, she smiled and said, "Let's binge eating tonight, and go clubbing after this!" "Let's go home after dinner. I don't wanna my boyfriend to worry." "You're hopeless, why are you even worse than when you w
