Although the gathering turned out to be a little unpleasant at first, it became slightly harmonious by the
end of the night.
Abbie and William, who were initially going against each other, took a step back out of courtesy to
Valeria.
After dinner, they went to Climax Space for some entertainment.
William, Richard, and Michael sat on the sofa as they had a chat and some drinks.
Meanwhile, Valeria and Abbie began to sing.
Abbie took over the mic and kept singing until her voice turned hoarse.
Even so, she was still unwilling to stop and even pulled Valeria along to sing with her.
While both of them were so immersed in singing, they paid no attention to the three men on the sofa.
Then, Richard approached William and said, "Hey, William, you really have no shame'
"Not as shameless as you, Mr.Clark!"
"Cut the crap or I'll expose your true identity to Valeria.If she finds out that you're Howard's family
notorious playboy, she'd definitely smack you in the head!"
"I bet you wouldn't dare to do it!"
William narrowed his eyes and looked at Richard, "I'd break off our relationship if you dare expose me"
Michael sneered as he listened, "Stop using this to threaten us.How dare you have the audacity to bully
Abbie and fake a disguise on yourself? You're ruining our image!"
"Stop acting like you're any better than me.You and Richard are just two useless scumbags.Why don't
you take a good look at yourself before judging me? One of you is a sinister playboy, and the other one
is full of greed.How dare you flatter yourself publicly?"
"F*ck! You've gone too far!"
Richard and Michael cursed at him simultaneously.
Valeria heard the heated commotion and turned around.
Noticing that Richard and Michael were staring angrily at William, she immediately threw the
microphone away and ran over, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing.Mr.Howard said that he wants to sing a song with you, and we were just being supportive!"
"Do you want to sing with me? Let's go and choose a song.
"Valeria pulled William together with her.William's face was a little stiff.Then, he threw a sharp glare at
Richard as he stood up.Richard and Michael looked at each other and grinned, "We're so lucky to hear
William sing tonight.Let's make a bet, shall we?"
"Of course, I bet his singing is f*cking terrible.Monstrous voice, I'd say!"
Michael took the initiative first.
"Hey, aren't you being unreasonable? Everyone knows that he's bad at singing.If it's that good, then
why didn't we hear him sang before?"
Richard was displeased.
"Forget it.He's already famous for his bad singing, so what's the use of betting on this? Let's just watch
him make a fool out of himself.It's a great pleasure to laugh at him.Drink up!"
Michael and Richard raised their glass.
They looked at each other and smiled, waiting to see William embarrass himself publicly.
Meanwhile, Valeria grasped William's hand and said, "What do you like to sing? I'll help you with it"
"I'm not good at singing"
William answered honestly.
"It doesn't matter.Let's sing a familiar song.What song do you often listen to?"
"I know the song 'Right Here Waiting'?” William said.
Valeria didn't expect him to know such a classic song.
She was a little surprised because none of the people in Climax Space listen to English songs.
Therefore, she chose the song according to William's request.
Then, Valeria pulled on William's hand, "I'll sing the first verse, you'll do the second part, and we'll sing
together in the end, okay?"
"Okay!"
William nodded with the microphone in his hand.
Valeria followed the rhythm and began to sing affectionately.
Oceans apart, day after day, And I slowly go insane, I hear your voice on the line, But it doesn't stop
the pain, I see you next to never, How can we Say forever? William looked at her fondly as he admired
her pretty face and enjoyed her gentle voice.
It was as if she was directing it to him.
Then, he picked up the microphone and sang softly with his deep voice.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right there waiting for you, Whatever it takes, Or how my
heart breaks, I will be right there waiting for you.
Meanwhile, Richard and Michael held a glass of wine each and anticipated for William to make a fool
out of himself exchanged gazes, "What the f*ck!"
They never expected William to be so talented in singing.
That was absurd! Abbie was also surprised.
"D*mn, William's singing is unexpectedly good.
His pitch and tone are on point! He sounds amazing"
Valeria and William performed the classic song with deep affection and full of emotions.
Abbie listened to their singing with fascination and swayed her body with the rhythm.
Richard and Michael were gnashing their teeth in displeased, "Sh*t, William's really something."
They were waiting to laugh at him, but now it was like a slap in the face.
No, they couldn't let William continue to flaunt himself like this.
They had to humiliate him one way or another.
After the song was finished, Abbie clapped her hands in excitement.
"Awesome! Sing another song!"
Richard and Michael also followed along and clapped their hands.
However, their reaction wasn't as sincere as compared to Abbie.
Although Richard wore a smile on his face, his words were rude and savage.
"No wonder everyone says that Mr.Howard is good in singing.
Indeed, he really lives up to his reputation!"
"That's right, Mr.Howard's singing is as great as those famous singers.No wonder everyone likes to
hear him sing.I heard that many people come here purely to listen to his superb singing."
Michael also chimed in and added on to the conversation.
They winked at each other and continued to mock his singing.
Valeria noticed that something was odd about the two of them.
How could they be so familiar with what William did even though they weren't that close? William was
obviously held up as an object of ridicule by them.
Therefore, Valeria was unhappy.
"It seems that Mr.Clark and Michael know a lot about William.They even know that he sings well."
"Nah, it's because he's too famous.Didn't he work here before? Apart from his handsome appearance,
he's known for his talent as well.I heard that he even partner up with the guests and sing love songs
together.Older women are fond of his singing."
"Uh..."
Valeria's expression turned ugly.
She had just coupled up with William and sang a love song together, and she was filled with joy when
he looked into her eyes so tenderly.
Now, Richard's words made her felt very uncomfortable.She shrugged off William's hand and stomped
out angrily.
Shocked, William looked at Richard and Michael angrily and warned, "You just wait!"
Then, he hurriedly chased after Valeria.
Meanwhile, Abbie was a little pissed, "What are you guys trying to do?"
"Don't you hate that guy? We're just making fun of him.
"Although I dislike him, Valeria likes him! Didn't you see that she was angry? You guys really went too
far!"
