Ronald comforted her while she cried.Just then, the sound of footsteps resounded in the corridor, and
Valeria appeared at the ward.
Upon seeing her arrival, Ronald glared at her and scolded, "You unfilial daughter, look at what you did
to Ashley!"
"It wasn't me who harmed her, she fell all by herself!" Valeria argued.
"Valeria, Ashley is already in this state, you can't just deny responsibilities like that; Julie chimed in.
"Let me repeat myself, I did not touch her.It was she who rushed over and fell!"
"Ashley is so gentle and kind.She can't even bear to trample on ants.How could she pick a fight with
you? You‘re lying through your teeth; Julie would never admit the truth and immediately refuted.
"What? How could a kind person be so shameless and snatch away other people's man?"
Upon seeing Ronald's fierce gaze, Valeria knew that he sided with Julie.
Therefore, it was no use for her to defend herself.
She looked at Julie and sneered, "Excuse me, but did you see me hitting her with your very own eyes?"
"I didn't, but I know clearly that it was you who beat her up first."
Julie suddenly switched over her innocent look and became aggressive.
"Ronald, I wasn't feeling well today and Ashley took care of me at home.Suddenly, Valeria came back,
and so Ashley went out to have a look.I didn't know what happened.I only heard voices of Valeria
scolding her.Later, I heard Ashley shouting for help, so I quickly ran out .By then, Ashley was already
lying helplessly on the floor and covered in blood.She was on the verge of death..."
Julie sobbed so hard that she choked on her words.
Upon hearing this, Ronald was burning in fury and almost had the urge to beat Valeria up.
Abbie, who remained silent throughout the conversation, suddenly came out from behind Valeria and
stopped Ronald, "Uncle Brown, calm down.Let's talk about it!"
Seeing Abbie, Ronald immediately retreated his hand and said, "What's there more to say? Miss Clark,
I know that you have a good relationship with this bloody girl, but this is our family's internal affairs.I
hope you won't meddle in it! "Yes, I absolutely understand, and I don't intend to interfere.I just feel that
it's not right for you to hit someone before judging the circumstances."
Abbie's attitude was harsh in front of Ronald, and her tone was unpleasant.
"Valeria, what are you still doing there? They slandered you indiscriminately.Can't you defend yourself?
You haven't done anything wrong, have you? Take out the evidence and show them! It's impossible for
them to distort the facts now’
"Huh? What evidence?"Ronald asked.
Valeria took out a copy of the video recording and showed them, "Look, this is the surveillance video
outside our villa .Please take a closer look at it on how Ashley got hurt!"
The video had clearly recorded everything that took place during that period.
Meanwhile, Ronald's face turned red after watching the video.
He felt even more ashamed with the presence of Abbie.
"Will you explain this?" Ronald glared at Julie in anger.
Julie never expected to see such a video.
She only schemed to slander Valeria.
She had forgotten to consider the fact that there were surveillance cameras all over the house.
"I...I...How could Ashley possibly hit her? She must have said something harsh.Anyway, she must have
provoked Ashley somehow!"
Ronald immediately chimed in, "That's right.You must have said something that triggered her
emotions."
It was useless no matter how much she explained.
In the end, Ronald would still insist that it was her fault.
Valeria was extremely disappointed.
Therefore, she looked at Ronald with a sneer.
"So, tell me now.Did I hit her or did she fell by herself?"
"You..."
Ronald was ashamed and furious.
"I'm off the hook now, right? And I don't have to apologize anymore, correct? I don't need for
compensating her loss, yeah?"
Valeria looked at Ronald coldly and disregarding his feelings.
She said, "Is there anything else? Otherwise, I'll be on my way: After Valeria and Abbie turned around
and left, Ronald stood there in exasperation.
How did he reach the point he was at if he had been a complete fool? He just had a moment of blunder
and he had followed along Julie to scold Valeria so that he wouldn't look bad.
However, there was no need for him to pretend anymore since they had left.
Ronald turned back and looked at Julie fiercely, "This is all because of you!"
"Ronald, I..."
"Get out of my way!"
Ronald lashed out at Julie and pushed her away.
Julie staggered back by the sudden push, while he strode out of the ward.
Meanwhile, tears rolled down from Valeria's eyes after she closed the car door.
Abbie knew that Valeria was having a difficult time, but she never expected it to be so hard on her.
Ronald didn't believe her in the slightest.He even turned a blind eye to the evidence that was placed in
front of him.
What was the use of a father like that? Abbie sympathized with her.
She took out a tissue and handed it over to Valeria.
"Valeria, don't cry! It can't change anything.They did all this to see you sad and miserable, and we can't
let them have their way.C'mon, let's go and have fun!"
Abbie started the car while comforting her, "Let's go have a meal at Wolf Group.Dinner is on me.After
dinner, let's go have for ladies’ night.Tonight, we are motivated to drive the two b*tches mad."
Valeria wiped off her tears as they headed to Wolf Group.
Along the way, Abbie kept comforting Valeria.
Valeria finally stopped crying under the care of her best friend.
Suddenly, Valeria's phone rang.
It was William, and she picked it up with a choked voice, "Hello?"
"Valeria, why did you call me?"
William's phone was switched off the whole afternoon.
He had been in a meeting for a few hours, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He made a fuss about
wanting to leave as soon as the meeting ended.
Hayden knew that he was exhausted after his first day of working, so he told him to leave.
William finally switched on his phone after leaving the company.
He noticed Valeria and Marcus's missed call, so he immediately called Valeria back.
"Why didn't you answer my call just now? Where are you?"
Upon hearing William's voice, tears welled up in her eyes again.
"I'm sorry, Valeria, I wasn't allowed to turn on my phone during the first day of training in the company.I
just saw your call.What happened? Why are you crying?"
"I am so sad! William, you b*stard! Why are you not here when I needed you the most?"
"I'm sorry! It's my fault.Where are you now? I'll come to find you right away.’ William comforted her
immediately when he heard her crying.
"I'm..."
Before Valeria finished speaking, Abbie suddenly braked and pointed to the front, "Look!"
