All Chapters of That Stranger Lying Beside Me: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

His sudden change of expression startled Abbie. "Why are you so fierce? Who do you think you are?" "You can have a try if you don't believe me," Michael looked at her coldly. He had always been cheerful and humorous towards her. So this change in attitude made her feel afraid.  "What the hell! Can anyone just bully me? If you weren't my brother-in-law, I wouldn't have come to you for help, anyway! Let's go, Valeria!" Abbie took Valeria's hand and left. Michael sat in his chair with a scary look on his face. He looked like a devil that just rose from hell. Abbie pulled Valeria out of Michael's law firm and got on her car angrily. "That d*mn Michael. Who does he think he is to threaten me?" "Alright, cool down. I have money, you can use it first. He can't possibly cut your card off for the rest of your life, right?" Valeria persuaded her. "Well, there's nothing else I can do," Abbie started the engine and left. Suddenly, Valeria received a call f

In the next round, the question was, "Where did your first time happen and how long was the longest sex you've had." Richard shuffled his cards a few times and smiled devilishly as he did so. William warned Richard with an alarming glare. Unfortunately, he drew the cards with the least points while Valeria had the second least points. Richard was obviously deliberate. Besides Hardy and Paisley, everyone else knew the relationship between Valeria and William. Everyone looked at them. Valeria forced herself to ask, "Truth or dare?" "Truth," William answered as he took out a cigarette to light. He then puffed out a ring of smoke and looked at Valeria through it. "My first time was at a nightclub. As for how long was the longest sex, I don't quite remember. All I know is that I wanted it to go on but she couldn't handle it any more so it ended." He said it as if it were nothing. However, Paisley was awkward as she heard it. Did William mean that hi

Valeria was stunned, and she asked, "Cheating? Really?" Abbie lowered her voice a little. "I'm not sure, but I feel that they are cheating Hardy." "Why would they do that? Do they have a grudge against him?" "I haven't heard anything about it. It doesn't feel right though. Hardy can't possibly be as good as William in this. William gambles and drinks almost daily, so he's an expert at this. William must be cheating and Hardy has already lost 50 million dollars." "Huh? So much?" Valeria asked in shock. "That's right. He has always had a bad temper, so he is raising his stakes again. Look at William, he's really cunning, he keeps teasing him and agitating him. No one can stand being ridiculed by a young and idle rich kid." The bet was increased to 50 million dollars. Valeria walked up to Hardy, who was already in a bad mood. Suddenly, he smelled a faint fragrance. He looked up and saw Valeria standing next to him. His mood instantly changed.

Valeria closed her door and sat at the edge of her bed. She then picked up her phone and called William again. This time, he answered the call. His tone was very cold, "What's the matter?" "Why didn't you answer the phone just now?" Valeria was a little angry. "I just didn't want to, do I still need other reasons?" "William, you are going too far!" "If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up," William was utterly annoyed. "Pick a time and day, I want to return you your card!" Valeria was furious. "Didn't I tell you it's the breakup fee? Why are you acting so hypocritical?" William said mockingly. "I don't want your money! Even if I have to starve to death, I won't take it. Do you think money can do anything? You're such a bully!" Listening to Valeria's sobbing voice, William was silent for a moment. Valeria faintly heard the sound of the car. It proved that he was still outside. "Come over right now, I want to return it to

Valeria thought carefully. The only place she went to last night was Climax Space, and then she went home with Abbie after that, right?  Nothing happened on the way. How could the card disappear so suddenly? She frowned and thought for a while. Something was not right. She remembered calling William when she came back, but she was so angry during the call that she might have thrown the card somewhere.  Remembering this, Valeria began to look for the card all over the room. There were only two partitions in the bedroom. She searched everywhere, but she still couldn't find anything.  She sat down on the sofa with disappointment and said, "Abbie, I can't find the card. What should I do?" "If you can't find it, then don't bother looking for it anymore. Tell him that you can't find it. It's his card, so he should go to the bank himself to re-apply for another card." Valeria thought that what Abbie said was reasonable, so she stopped looking for the bank c
