After Michael left, Elizabeth and Ronald were the only ones left in the room.
Elizabeth looked at Ronald and said, "What's your plan, Mr.Brown?"
"That wretch did such a shameless thing, and I really want to beat her to death.She should really be
responsible for the apology."
"I'm talking about the compensation.Ashley is the one who caused this trouble.Mr.Brown, you wouldn't
be thinking of not paying for it, don't you?" Elizabeth reminded.
"It's the Howard family and Mason who harmed Valeria, so Ashley is just an accomplice.However, she's
at fault for framing her sister with those evil tactics.Therefore, I didn 't intend to let her out, just let her
be put into prison then"
Ronald was extremely miserly when it came to money.
Hence, how could he pay the compensation for Ashley? Elizabeth didn't expect Ronald to be such an
unbelievable niggardly on the money.
Then, she looked at Ronald coldly.
"So, you don't want to cooperate with the Howard family anymore? I'd like to remind you that if Ashley
is in jail, then she can't be with Mason anymore.Why not just let her abort the baby!"
She was obviously threatening him.
Then, Ronald thought for a moment.
Since the money would be given to Valeria, so he could still find a way to get the money back from her
afterwards.
"I'll pay 50 million, that's all I can manage!"
"One hundred million! One fixed price! If you're willing to pay this amount of money, I'll be taking care of
the collaboration between you and the Howard Group in the future.”
After weighing for a while, Ronald nodded and said, "Okay, deal, I will pay it!"
After the successful payment made by Elizabeth and Ronald, Mason and Ashley were released after
being locked up for 24 hours.
It was only a day, but Mason was already looking haggard.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth quickly got on the car with Mason without saying a word.
Mason sat in the car with a dispirited expression, "Aunt, I've caused you trouble.I'm sorry!"
Elizabeth was displeased after seeing Mason like this.
The four hundred million was basically all the savings that she had saved over the past ten years since
she married Charles.
Charles wasn't generous to her, and it took her a great effort to save the money.
However, she had lost all of it to Valeria now just for Mason's sake, and she was very pissed off.
But she knew that it was not the time to get angry, so she had no choice but to pull herself together and
start afresh.
"Mason, don't worry.We still have the chance and sufficient time.Let's go home and have a rest first.We
will be better after this matter is over!"
However, Mason wasn't as optimistic as Elizabeth.
After being locked up for 24 hours, he had been ruminating about tons of stuff.
He was regretful and angry.
If only he hadn't cheated on Ashley and the dispute with Valaria never happened, things would
definitely take a turn.
Suddenly, he was grossed out by the thought of how Ashley had peed her pants in the interrogation
room.
Just why in the world would he be willing to be with a disgusting person like her? Ashley came out a
few minutes later, and Mason had been taken away by Elizabeth.
She was fatigued and took on a ghastly expression after being locked up for a day.
There was also a strong odor of urine smell on her when she came out.
After seeing Ronald and Julie, she cried out tearfully.
"Mom and Dad! They won't let me go to the bathroom and they're torturing me...You guys have to help
me out!"
Ronald was disgusted by her appearance.
As the cold-hearted person that he used to be, he immediately gave her a slap in the face when he saw
her crying.
"How dare you still have the guts to cry? Do you know how much money I have lost because of you?
You shameless brat!"
Ashley stopped crying and started weeping silently in the car.
Then Ronald started the car angrily.
"Let me tell you this, you take good care of Mason.And if anything goes wrong with the cooperation
with the Howard family, I will never let you go!"
Ronald, Ashley, Elizabeth, and Mason felt extremely upset and uneasy at this moment, but Valeria was
extremely happy.
The Howard Group immediately clarified the plagiarism issue on the apology statement and the five
hundred million had also been paid.
In the meantime, Ashley and Mason's social media was pinned with the apology post.
Ashley also had to hold a press conference tomorrow to make a formal apology to Valerie.
Valerie had held back for such a long time, and she finally turned the tables.
She was extremely proud and satisfied.
Valeria immediately called William and expressed her excitement, "I'm telling you, we're getting rich
now! You don't have to be a driver, got it? I'll take care of you from now on!"
William was still in Hayden's ward.
Upon hearing this, he quickly walked outside and chuckled.
"Are you going to support me financially?"
"Yes, from now on, just stay at home and wait for me to pamper you.I'll take care of the family.” Valeria
said haughtily.
"Are you sure? But I don't want to be a house husband, ugh." William was in a distress.
"Anyway, I don't want you to be Marcus' driver anymore.You always come back late every day and
leave in the middle of the night.I don't want you to work so hard and I just want to be with you every
day."
"Well, I'll consider your suggestion" William smiled mysteriously when he hung up Valeria's call.
Was he such an easy person? Did she really think that 500 million was enough to support him? Indeed,
she was too naive and gullible.
She simply believed that Richard was the one who helped her.
After that, he shook his head in disapproval and turned around.
Hayden staggered out of the ward with a walking stick in hand and stood behind him, "Who's calling?"
"It's a friend”
"Is it a woman?"
"Yes!"
William didn't intend to hide.Then Hayden sighed, "William, it's about time for a change of
behavior.Don't go on to be a player like this.Cut off your relationship with the women outside, alright?
Dad will find a suitable match for you"
William frowned, "Dad, I'll make my own decision.You don't have to worry about it"
"How can I not be worried? Look at your carefree and playful behavior.What can you do without a good
wife?"
Hayden was really concerned about him.
Suddenly, Charles came in at the middle of their conversation and smiled, "Dad, how are you feeling
now? Oh, is William here too?"
"I'm doing much better!"
Hayden gestured for Charles to sit down.
"I asked you to come here today because of William.Didn't William refuse to work in the company last
time? But today I persuade him, and he finally agreed to it.So, he will be going to work tomorrow"
"Uh...Dad, this is too sudden.Why don't you give me two days for preparation?"
Charles was shocked by his decision and turned down subconsciously.
"Do you need two days to arrange for employment?" Hayden asked.
"Of course, William is different.He will be working for the management department and he can't join so
hastily.I'll have to arrange for someone to welcome him and it's going to be a big ceremony"
"Well, you're right.Since you're doing it, make it grand! I'll give you a day to prepare then! Do inform all
the members of the board directors and I'll accompany William there personally on that day!"
