Valeria spent the whole afternoon complaining, so Abbie brought her to Wolf Group to fill her
stomach.Their car came to a halt at the entrance of Wolf Group.
Right at this time, William's Bentley stopped beside their car.
William sat in the car and looked at Valeria while she coldly ignored him.
She didn't even spare him a glance.
Abbie then pulled her into the building together.
William shook his head and got out of his car.
He just followed behind them.
Noticing that William was following behind, Abbie whispered, "Valeria, William is behind us.Do you think
he came to apologize?"
"Just ignore him.I get mad when I see his face! His apologies are meaningless; Valeria scoffed.
"Alright, as you wish.Let's pretend we don't know this person at all"
As they spoke, they entered the elevator.
William, who was behind them, strode forward.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, he reached out to block the door and stepped right in.
Abbie and Valeria moved to one corner of the elevator to be as far away from his as possible.
However, William didn't bother at all and he moved towards Valeria instead.
Valeria raised her head and glared at him.
She then moved to the side even further but William kept inching nearer towards her.
Abbie was speechless.
Why was William so brazen? Seeing that William's body was about to lean on Valeria's, Abbie quickly
switched position with her.
William noticed that and pulled himself back.
He then leaned against the wall.
The elevator stopped at the restaurant.
Valeria and Abbie hurried out of the elevator while William followed behind slowly.
Abbie turned around and glared at him.
"Why the hell are you following us, you shameful sh*t?"
William raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
He walked past them and disappeared at the end of the walkway.
Abbie scoffed and said, "He must have done that on purpose.I'm sure he would have clung to you like
a little kid if you have smiled at him just now!"
Valeria remained silent as she was feeling very irritated.
The two of them entered their reserved room and they quickly sat down.
Abbie ordered some dishes and started to check her phone.
"What the hell? Who did this? Could it be Mason Eich, that scum? Why would he slander William like
that? This is crazy!"
Valeria tilted her head to have a look.
When she saw the huge headlines, her face immediately darkened.
"I bet this is the work of Mason and Ashley Evans.They really are the perfect scumbag couple!"
"D*mn, they really have the balls to do this even after knowing William's identity? That's pretty bold,
isn't it? But don't you think it seems like William doesn't have any status at home? Even an outsider
has outdone him this time!"
Abbie couldn't help but feel sympathy for William suddenly.
"The thing between you and William, it was Mason that caused it.He and Ashley tried to manipulate
you, that's why you ended up being with William.And now they are saying that William was the one who
came to you first? That's disgusting! Hey, do you think the rumors about Williams were all made up?"
"Who knows? But he's definitely not innocent, or else there wouldn't be so many scandals about him,’
Valeria became more annoyed.
"Hm, I don't know for sure, but my brother once told me that Charles is not a good brother.When he
was still abroad, he repressed William a lot as he was afraid that William would try to fight for the family
inheritance.I kinda pity William a little"
"Abbie, I thought you hate him.Why are you pitying him now?"
"Hating him is one thing, but his background stories are still real, you know? I heard that he was sent
abroad when he was very young.William has always been very smart.He graduated with three degrees
when he wasn't even 20 years old.The university he graduated from is a top-tier university.Later,
Charles found that things were not going well and he tried to lure him into doing bad things...’
"Alright, stop right there.Your brother told you all of these, right? I'm sure he just wants to brainwash
you,’ Valeria cut Abbie off.
Abbie was stunned for a moment, "Oh yeah! My brother must have wanted to defend William...That's
ridiculous.Alright, let's not talk about him anymore.Our food is here, let's just eat."
In another private room, William walked over to Hayden with a smile and sat down beside him, "Dad,
I've asked them to prepare some dishes that you like.You should eat more later when food is served"
Hayden smiled as he looked at William, who was very handsome.
It was such a pleasant sight the more Hayden looked at William.
He said, "Uh, you still remember what I like to eat.You're so much better than those brothers of yours."
"Well, it's still your money that is being spent.I'm just benefiting from it while trying to be a good son"
"Ha...This boy!"
Hayden laughed heartily.
He couldn't find anything wrong with William at all other than being a playboy who didn't have a loyal
heart.
Thinking of what Charles and Mason had told him in the morning, he said tentatively, "William, you're
not young anymore, you should stop fooling around.Also, you should concentrate on your career and
having a family”
"Oh, sure!" William responded directly.
Hayden's heart thumped.
It was because William would always find excuses every time Hayden mentioned marriage.
But this time he actually agreed.Did he really fall for Valeria? The old man was worried and asked with
a straight face, "When will you bring your girlfriend to meet me?"
"Hm, not so soon,’ William replied.
"Well, can I know her name?"
"Nope,’ William poured himself a cup of tea.
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry? With such a handsome face and a good temper like mine, it's a
piece of cake for me to get married and have kids”
"That's true.But you should look for those who are from good family backgrounds.I don't like messy or
complicated women”
"Don't worry, I'll pick out a wife according to your preference.I promise I'll bring a good and pure girl
back"
These words made Hayden felt much more at ease.
Valeria had been with Mason for several years, and her pregnancy was all over the place.
She was definitely not a pure woman.
From the looks of it, William was just playing around.
So Hayden decided not to bring it up.
The dishes they ordered were quickly served.
Sure enough , they were all Hayden's favorite dishes.
William was all smiles as he served Hayden with dishes and soup.
Hayden was in a good mood and he ate a lot more than usual.
After lunch, William wanted to help Hayden get up.
But right at this time, his cell phone rang.
Richard's voice came, "William, where are you?"
"I'm having lunch in Wolf Group.What's up?"
"What's up? Don't tell me you're still kept in the dark about something as huge as this? I'm telling you,
you've been framed and it is really...ugly.The news mentioned that you stole someone else's girlfriend
and that you're unruly.How did I not know you have done that? Don't tell me it's your brother, his wife
and Mason's doing!"
Richard's voice was very loud.
William was holding Hayden at this time, so Hayden heard it clearly.
William actually did it on purpose.
After waiting for Richard to finish speaking, he let go of Hayden and walked over to the side, "It's fine,
I'm used to it.It's just a small matter, so don't worry about it.I'll talk to you later."
Then, he hung up the phone and looked at Hayden as if nothing had happened.
"Dad, let's go!"
