All Chapters of That Stranger Lying Beside Me: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Watching Lexis leave, Hardy looked at Valeria and said, "Are you okay?" "I'm fine!" She forced a smile. Looking in the direction where Ashley was standing, she realized that Ashley had already disappeared. Instead of Ashley, a few more people took her place, which included William, Paisley, Richard, Marcus, and some others. Without noticing it, everyone was crowded there.  Abbie quickly came over and grabbed Valeria's arm, "Hey, Valeria! What happened?" "Abbie, I'll tell you about it later." Paisley also came over, "Bro, what happened?" "It's nothing, just a little accident though," Hardy didn't want to say more. After all, Lexis had just regarded Valeria as an escort and he was about to harass her.  Hardy naturally wouldn't tell them the real story. Since he wasn't saying anything, Paisley didn't push further into it, "Thank God, it's all okay. Let's go back to the main hall!" She was talking to William, but he didn't reply. He too

Valeria felt sad, but she had to admit that the two of them did dance well and were very in sync with each other. Abbie knew that Valeria was a little upset, so she snorted, "Valeria, let's go down too!" "Forget it, she's a professional while we're amateurs. Let's not join in the crowd." "Who said that? I must go!" Abbie was someone who would never admit defeat, "I want to go down and stir things up, I will definitely make sure they stop dancing!" "Forget it, Abbie!" Abbie refused to listen to her advice and went straight to Richard, "Mr. Clark, would you like to dance with me?" Richard laughed, "My pleasure. Please, Miss Clark!" The siblings went down to the dance floor, and many other couples joined them. Soon, more and more people gathered on the dance floor. Valeria stood next to it as her eyes followed William and Paisley. While dancing, Paisley spoke to William with a smile. He maintained a gentle expression throughout, and Valeria

Seeing that Valeria was playing the piano in the talent show, Ashley, who was watching away from the crowd, sneered at her. Was Valeria provoking Paisley? She really was a good-for-nothing for challenging the queen of piano because of William. She was merely an amateur in the presence of Paisley.  Later on, when she saw that Valeria changed her instrument to the pipa, she couldn't help but laugh inside. So, she did know her limits, huh? However, the pipa song that Valeria chose was very simple and easy. How perfunctory of her... If she wanted to play the pipa, she should have chosen a harder song. Pipas in general had very simple melodies because they were low-sounding instruments that usually serve as accompaniment. Other than that, the pipa's note fingering positions were also very easy to learn.  Ashley was sure that Valeria would not win, so she also signed up to perform.  When Ashley was a child, Julie had spent a lot of effort to train he

Valeria went to the back to change her clothes, and Abbie followed her, "My brother wanted to dance with you, but he had a sudden leg cramp, so he let William take his place. But, d*mn! William really surprised me with his tango skills. After all, he's William, the pro at drinking and f*cking around." Valeria did not reply. She knew that William would not dance with her for no reason. He must have had some secret intentions. The voting had already begun when she was changing her clothes. The performance that had the highest votes was her dance with William. According to the rules, Patek Philippe's watch should be their prize. However, Hardy said that she and William were not lovers, so the couple's prize was given to the second most voted couple, while Valeria won the Hermes' bag.  Valeria had no thoughts about the prize, but Abbie was very happy. "This trip wasn't wasted. You won a limited edition bag! Let me tell you, this bag costs a lot of money. No, i

Did someone see William ignore her? How embarrassing! Paisley turned around stiffly. Behind her, Ashley had a sly smile on her face. "Miss Anthony, I have something very important to tell you." "What's the matter?" Paisley looked at the woman in front of her as she was an unfamiliar face.  Other than seeing her at the talent show tonight, she was certain that she had never seen her before. Since that was the case, she could infer that this woman was of mundane status.  Seeing Paisley checked her out, Ashley immediately introduced herself, "Let me introduce myself first. I am Valeria's sister!" "What do you have to say to me, Miss Brown?" Since Ashley said that she and Valeria were sisters, Paisley naturally addressed her as Miss Brown. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ashley's face, and she immediately explained, "I took my mother's surname. My surname is Evans, and my name is Ashley." "What do you want to say, Miss Evans?" A
