Mason entered the house with a bruised face.He still looked badly hurt after getting beaten up by
William that day.He greeted Hayden the moment he stepped in.
Hayden noticed his bruised face and hesitated before speaking, "
Have a seat.
Tell me everything you know: "Well, I don't know anything much.What I know is mostly about Valeria
Brown.I don't even recognize Mr.William when I saw him yesterday.I thought he was the gigolo Valeria
had taken an interest in.’
"A gigolo?"
Hayden was furious.
His eyes were suddenly filled with anger.
Mr.William of the Howard Family was being regarded as a gigolo! He was Hayden's favorite son, man!
This was infuriating!
"No, it isn't me that called him a gigolo.It was Valeria who insisted that he’s one,"
Mason quickly pushed the blame on Valeria, "Valeria met Mr.William at a nightclub and had since taken
an interest in him by making him her sugar-baby:"
"This is unacceptable! Valeria must be a messed up woman if she's able to do such a thing!" Charles
interrupted.
He was being lectured by Hayden the other day and embarrassed himself.
He then went to Mason and Elizabeth that night.
After listening to their suggestions, he had decided to use Valeria as a stepping stone to defame
William.
William and Valeria were very close.
Charles planned to let Hayden separate them from each other.
Once William lost the woman he liked, he would most definitely become decadent.
As for Valeria, she would probably stop acting so arrogant! This sounded like a good plan indeed.
Mason had already discussed this with Charles and Elizabeth.
He then quickly complained about Valeria again "Her kindness is just pretentious.I only found out now
that she is actually very mean.She's definitely not a good person.I saw from the news today that she
kicked and punched a pregnant lady.The lady suffered a miscarriage afterward."
"What? She even hit a pregnant lady? That is inhumane!"
Hayden was disgusted by the information.
Mason immediately showed Hayden the news.
Seeing the pool of blood and the photo of the lady who was on the ground, Hayden was furious.
"Where's William ? I'm going to call him for an explanation right now!"
They just wanted to teach William a lesson, but if William came here to provide any explanations, it
would create trouble for them.
Charles immediately stopped Hayden who was about to give William a call.
"Dad, you'd better not call William.We all know how bad his temper is! If he knows it is Mason who told
you everything, he would definitely beat Mason up!"
"As if he dares!"
"He already threatened Elizabeth yesterday.He said Mason should probably avoid showing up in front
of him, or else he would beat the crap out of Mason every time he sees him’ "He's getting rebellious,
isn't he?"
Hayden became even more provoked.
Charles sighed.
"I think Valeria is a very complicated woman with bad intentions.I suspect she already knows about
William's identity way before, that's why she broke up with Mason.Now, the two of them are even
staying together! Dad, I think William should stay away from a woman like her”
"Well, of course! To think William is a gigolo at a club even when he dresses up So well and drives a
luxurious car...She must be very manipulative!"
Hayden let out a cold sneer.
"Also, Valeria also has a bad reputation.When she was still with Mason, she hooked up with different
men and even ended up aborting a child! She's such an embarrassment to the family!"
Charles continued defaming Valeria.
Hayden's expression darkened.
"I will not allow her to stay by William's side any longer.We would have to find a way to make her go as
far away from him as possible"
"Dad, you know William's temper very well.He is just going to rebel against you if you go harsh on him.I
think we should think of a plan first.It would be better if we can secretly make Valeria leave him on her
own.’
"I see.Alright then.I'll think of something.’
Charles and Mason were satisfied with themselves for making Hayden so mad at Valeria.
They didn't even do anything except slander her in front of Hayden! Hayden loved William too much to
punish him, but he was most definitely not going to let Valeria be with William anymore.
As for William, he was very protective of Valeria.
He would absolutely be furious if his father tried to separate them.
The two of them left the Howard family's house happily.
At this point, they were only waiting for their Hayden to act.
Then, Hayden watched both of them left before calling William.
The call was picked up and William's muffled voice came from the other side of the line, "Hello?"
"William, have you had breakfast?"
Hayden's voice was very soft.
There was not a single trace of displeasure that could be heard from his voice.
"Not yet.I just got up; William replied.
"Then come by and have breakfast with me? I'll have Laila prepare the dishes you love.How does that
sound?"
"No, it's fine.It's too troublesome!"William refused.
"What about breakfast at the Wolf Group? The food there is not bad.What do you think?"
William was in a bad mood, but at the thought of Hayden's poor health, he didn't refuse, "Alright, how
about you have breakfast at home and I'll treat you for lunch at the Wolf Group?"
"Great, see you later at noon then!"
Hayden sighed as he hung up the phone.
Lucas, the butler stood by his side and noticed that Hayden didn't look happy.
He said tentatively, "I thought you wanted to ask Mr.William about Valeria"
"No, I can't just ask him like that.Charles is right.William has a bad temper and he's extremely
stubborn.He is only going to be rebellious if I go hard on him.I shouldn't push this issue too harshly’
William hung up and slowly walked into the bathroom to take a bath and change his clothes.
Half an hour later, he drove out of the villa.
While he was on his way, Marcus called him.
"Mr.Howard, Charles, and Mason spread the incident to the public during the night.After doing that,
Charles asked his men to cover up the news.I really have no idea what he was thinking.’
"Maybe it has something to do with Valeria.He probably wants to stand up for Mason.Also, I'm guessing
he plans to defame me and pretends to be the good guy at the same time.And if that’s the case, ask
your men to spread the news, make it viral.I want to see how he’s planning on handling the
consequences."
"I don't think that's a good idea.It's going to ruin your reputation as everything that will be revealed is
negative"
"Well, bad news about me has been circulating on and on for a long time.One more bad thing about me
isn't very damaging, is it? Make sure they make it into the headlines “ William said carefreely.Then he
recalled the issue with Valeria that day and asked, "Anyway, is everything ready?"
"It's all ready.When do you think is a suitable timing forthat?"
"I'll handle it after lunch.Oh yeah, I'm having lunch with my father at the Wolf Group later.Get them to
prepare the dishes my father likes"
Marcus agreed and William hung up the phone.
His gaze fell on the picture of Valeria on the screen.After a while, he tossed his phone aside and sped
up.
