All Chapters of That Stranger Lying Beside Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Having cried for a while, Valeria dried her tears and went to the bathroom in exhaustion. Her shapely figure was reflected in the mirror, and her body was full of scratches, included her neck. Valeria felt extremely sick so she washed her body over and over again. However, what's done cannot be undone. She felt so annoyed! Obviously, Valeria was set up by Ashley last night, and she had to find Ashley and demanded an explanation. Soon afterwards Valeria went out of the hotel and took a taxi heading to Ashley's home. When she arrived, she found that it was Ashley's mother, Julie Evans, who opened the door. Julie was wearing a nightgown and her hair was messy. And she seemed to be very surprised when she saw Valeria. "Valeria, are you here for Ashley? She is not at home now." But Valeria did not believe Julie at all. She pushed Julie away and broke into the house. Julie saw Valeria break down the door and hurriedly tried to stop

Valeria had pissed Ronald off for what she said. Ronald stared at her and said seriously, "Valeria, call them Aunt Julie and Sister Ashley from now on! And I don't want to hear any rude words coming out of your mouth anymore!" Julie continued to pretend to be gentle and virtuous in front of Ronald, so she said, "Ronald, don't force her if she doesn't want to.  Ashley and I have already suffered for all the past years and it's okay for us to suffer for a bit longer. I know that you had been through tough time these years..." Her words touched Ronald's heart indeed. For a long time in the past, he had behaved like a good man, obediently obeying Valeria's mother, Natalie Garcia. Now he could finally act on his own since Natalie had past away already. Thinking of this, Ronald glared at Valeria and said angrily, "Whether you are willing or not, you have to accept the fact that Ashley is your sister. And I tell you now, they will live with us in no time!" Hearing Rona

Valeria wandered along the streets despairingly until it was night time. Finally, she was exhausted and felt extremely hungry. She took out her mobile phone and check, but found no new messages. Ten hours passed and Ronald still hadn't called her. Was he going to abandon her and stay with the shameless mother and daughter? Abandoned by her father, Valeria felt desperate. She could not go back home now. What's more, her best friend Abbie Clark was on her vacation abroad, so she had no place to go. Having no choice, Valeria went to the nearest Wolf Hotel. When she walked into the lobby, she bumped into Ashley. Ashley was sitting in the lounge in a good mood with her mother Julie. And she was stunned when she saw Valeria came in.  After whispering a few words to Julie, Ashley strode over to Valeria. "What a coincidence! Valeria, are you also here for dinner?" But Valeria didn't want to waste any time on this shameless woman. But Ashley obvio

Ashley wanted to show off to make Valeria angry, but she was kicked out in the end. Now she felt extremely upset. But she and her mother had gone through so many of these humiliations. Therefore, she did not feel much shame this time. However, it was a different story with Ronald and Mason. They were celebrities in B City and had never been humiliated by others before. Now they must be displeased. Ashley guessed. Ashley thought that she must seize this opportunity to continue to sow discord between Mason and Valeria. "How did Valeria get to know the boss of Wolf Group? She must be up to something. I think she set us up with others, did she?" "Set us up with others? But who?" Mason asked. "Maybe her friend, Abbie Clark? I heard that Richard Clark, the elder brother of Abbie, is on good terms with Marcus Field, who is the CEO of Wolf Group, so maybe..." At Ashley's words, Ronald went mad with anger, "How dare she! It's time to teach her a l

Valeria couldn't believe the man would offer to pay for the bill for her. She looked up at him and found that he was looking at her too. He was perfectly charming with his dazzling eyes. Being stared at by him, Valeria felt more embarrassed. Before that, she hated him to the bone, but now she seemed to have a good impression of him, for it was he who had helped her out of trouble. "We're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that's not a small amount of money." Valeria said. "I know!" The man picked up the pen and scrawled his name on the bill handed over by the cashier. For some reason, Valeria thought he was so attractive when he signed that he didn't look like a pimp at all。 Then William put down the pen and walked away. After a few steps, he found Valeria stood still blankly. He was amused by the way she looked and asked, "Aren't you going?" Soon Valeria nodded and kept up with him. But she felt strange and questioned herself
