All Chapters of That Stranger Lying Beside Me: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

In the afternoon, Ashley went to the Brown's Company in the Central South Building Mansion. Meanwhile, Ronald was reading the report in the office. Ashley came in and sweetly called him dad. Ronald looked up at Ashley and said, "Why are you coming over at this time? Don't you need to go to work?" "I happened to pass by, so I came to see you," Ashley smiled and walked to Ronald, "Dad, I called Valeria, but she didn't answer. I sent her a text message and asked her to call back. Did she call you?" "No." Ronald shook his head. At the mention of Valeria, his face darkened, "That d*mn b*stard. I just hit her and said a few words, and she is making a fuss. I'm so pissed off!" "Dad, in fact, it's not Valeria's fault. Valeria was angry. It's all my fault. Because you recognized me as your daughter, and Valeria can't get it over." "I think she is spoiled! You two used to be as close as sisters, didn't you? She even told me to recognize you as a adopted daught

Valeria's jewelry and bags were put in a special place, Ashley opened the drawer only to find it was empty. She didn't know the password of the safe box, nor did she know if Valeria took the jewelry away or put it in the safe box. "Such a shameless b*tch! She hid all her jewels and bads." Ashley couldn't find what she wanted, so she was a little angry. "It doesn't matter. Let your dad buy it for you in the future," Julie comforted her. "But I have no reason to ask dad to buy jewelry for me." Ashley answered gloomily. "Who said that you can't buy jewelry before the Spring Festival? Do you forget your father's identity now? He is a person who often comes to the banquet of rich and powerful family. In the past, he took Valeria to participate in it and let that little b*tch show off. Now it's your turn." When she heard Julie's words, Ashley also remembered it, "Mom, something suddenly occurred to me that the opening ceremony of the party will begin in a

When William frowned slightly at her reply, Valeria added. "However, business needs fairness. I can only do this after you get the invitation. After all, who knows if you can get it? If you cheat me, don't I get the short end of the stick?" "Hoho," William narrowed his eyes and laughed, "This stupid woman has become smarter and she's trying to fool me." Was he that easy to fool? "Do you think it's a bad bargain to be with me?" He slitted his eyes and smiled. It gave Valeria the creeps. She reached out and touched William's face. "No, I'm just putting on an example. The fee of you must be very expensive since you're so handsome. I can sleep with you without spending a penny. Either way, I got the upper hand, didn't I? So, can you help me with the invitation?" "Don't touch me!" William took her hand away. It was the first time in his life that he had been touched on the face by such a woman. Why did he feel that he had been offended? Too da

Three days later, the annual B City Feast kicked off. Ashley and her mom had got their wish to the main venue, Wolf Group Hotel. It was the first time for both of them to attend such a grand meeting. They had been practicing social etiquette at home these days. In order not to be disgraced, Ronald bought jewelry and dresses for them. It was said that clothes make the man. The high-end dress made Ashley look more beautiful and sexy. Middle-aged Julie also changed a lot. Putting on a high-end dress and a piece of jewelry, she looked very graceful and elegant. Mason went to the feast with Ashley, and Ronald with Julie. When Mason came to pick up Ashley, he thought Ronald would bring Valeria. But when he saw that it was Ashley's mother, he was stunned for a while. He couldn't help ask, "Why didn't I see Valeria?" Ronald did not disclose the news of Valeria's disappearance, and Ashley did not tell Mason either. Now Mason asked like this,

Mason gritted his teeth and stared at Valeria, "Valeria, how did you get in here?? Why did you do that?" "Let me go! Mason, you are so disgusting! What does my coming here have to do with you? If you were not out of your mind, you would know that we have already broken up!" In disgust, Valeria tried to shook off his hand. "Make it clear, or I won't let you go!" Mason was unwilling to let her go, and he continued to hold Valeria's hand tightly. Valeria's face was cold. "Mr. Eich, face is as important to man as the bark is to the tree. We have already broken up. It will discredit me if people see you holding my hand like this." "You have to make it clear if you want me to let you go. You did it, right? I can't believe you were such a vicious and shameless person!" Mason continued to question her angrily. "What video? I don't understand." Valeria asked with an innocent face. "Don't pretend that you don't know. Do you dare to say that those videos have n
