All Chapters of That Stranger Lying Beside Me: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Valeria was at a loss for words when she heard Hardy's voice. William smirked and looked at her mockingly. Valeria knew what he was thinking about, even without him saying anything.  "Didn't you say you didn't have anything with him? Why is he here then?" Valeria's face turned red. Hardy knocked on the door a few more times before he shouted, "Valeria! Can I come in? I brought you something to eat!" She did not want to let him in. Her hair and clothes were both messed up by William, and her lips were also swollen from the kiss. How could she let him see her like this?  She immediately refused, "Mr. Anthony, I am already in bed!" When William heard her answer, he thought that Valeria was worried that their relationship would be exposed to Hardy, so he scoffed mockingly.  He angrily got off the bed to leave, but Valeria was startled by his actions. That b*stard! What was he trying to do?  If he went out right now, she would be so embarrasse

Valeria was extremely embarrassed and pushed Abbie into the room as she closed the door. She immediately explained, "I didn't do it on purpose... I didn't know you were here last night, and William was being so shameless. I couldn't do anything about it either!" "Pfft, one excuse after another! I don't believe that he could've forced his way through your stubbornness. I know you like him and can't forget about him!" Abbie didn't believe her. "Don't be angry. Okay, I admit that I can't forget him! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have ignored you! I'm sorry, and I promise this won't happen again!" "How can you treat that good-for-nothing b*stard like treasure? You make me so mad!" She retorted bluntly after hearing Valeria's confession even though she wasn't actually mad. She couldn't bear staying mad at her anymore after seeing Valeria's smile.  "Alright, I don't have the strength to be angry with you anymore. I am starving. Let's go and eat something."

Abbie brought Valeria to the deck. William, the man with him, and the Anthony siblings were not there anymore.  "Where's everyone? Where's my brother and his friends?" Abbie looked around but did not see Richard, so she called him. "Bro, where are you? Why can't I find you on the deck?" "I'm already on the yacht. You should come here with Valeria right now!" Richard replied. Abbie immediately brought them to the stairs that lead to the yacht, while Richard saw and waved at them.  Compared to the ship, the yacht was much smaller. No wonder they needed a special list to control the number of people. The ship could withstand thousands of people, but the yacht could only fit tens of them.  Valeria and Abbie went on the yacht and followed Richard into the cabin. The inside of the cabin was not small, and there were quite a few people sitting inside already. Valeria saw William at her first glance. He was sitting on the sofa with the young man who was with

The more Andrew looked at Valeria, the more familiar she looked to him.  However, he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. William was unhappy at the fact that Andrew kept staring at her.  "Aren't you supposed to be fishing? How are you expected to catch any fish if you're not focused?" Andrew withdrew his gaze after hearing his words, "I just feel that Miss Brown looks a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before." He saw Mason as he spoke, and a look of realization appeared on his face. He said, "I remember now! Miss Brown looks like Mason's girlfriend." "She looks like Mason's girlfriend? Are you sure about that?" Paisley did not know about Valeria and Mason, so she was quite shocked at his statement.  "I don't think I'm mistaken. I saw her once when I came back a few years ago," He stared at Valeria again, "That's right, it is her. I remember very clearly." "They broke up a long time ago!" William replied.

Paisley didn't seem to be aware of the sarcasm in Valeria's replies, "I'm actually not a caring person. But it's different with William. I just have the urge to be good to him. He's so handsome and gentle..." The smile on Paisley's face was sheepishly sweet. Valeria obviously knew how charming William could be when he was gentle. She felt extremely uneasy upon hearing that. "William is indeed good-looking, but he has flirted with so many women. Don't you think he has a bad reputation, Ms. Anthony?" "Bad reputation? No, he's so handsome. It's normal for women to like him, isn't it? If he wasn't so charming, there wouldn't be this many women falling for him though?" Paisley didn't care about his reputation at all. There was an unpleasant feeling in Valeria that she could not hold nor release. Ignoring Valeria's gloomy face, Paisley smiled. "Actually, in the beginning, I also felt that William was too much of a player. However, I think that he is
