William, the playboy that broke hundreds of women's hearts, had been in her bed the previous night.
And now, in just a few hours, he had another woman next to him.
Valeria was so angry that she wanted to march up to him and slap him to vent her anger.
But when she thought about how she had scolded him that morning, and how he left in anger, she felt
guilty about it.
If she hadn't vented her anger on him that morning, she would have the right to march in and question
him.
But since she was the one who made things look bad that day, how could she reprimand him? If she
did so, she would be laughed by him.
Feeling despair, she heard William's charming voice say, "These are Wolf Group's famous
dishes.Please have a taste, Miss Anthony”
"Thank you!"
Paisley's voice was pleasant to the ear.
"Wow, is this how it feels when you choose hoes before bros? Why aren't you helping us to some as
well?" Richard exclaimed in exaggeration.
"Don't you have your own hands?"
"Miss Anthony can pick up by herself too.So why are you helping her and not us? You are exactly the
kind of person who chooses women over friends."
"Yes, you ditch your friends for women.You're too much! And because of that, you have to drink three
glasses as an apology!" Michael said angrily.
Listening to their conversations, Valeria could imagine what was happening inside.
Was he flirting with the woman inside? He was going to be the death of her! Valeria angrily returned to
her room.
Ronald could no longer hold it in and had already started talking to Hardy about work.
Hardy's expression was warm, but his gaze was cold and distant.
On normal occasions, he would never meet someone like Ronald or even allow him to talk so much.
But today, he had to endure it for Valeria.
After Ronald finished talking about the collaboration proposal between their companies, Hardy did not
give him a direct refusal and he said, "We can talk about it tomorrow"
"Then shall I go to your office to discuss the details?"
Ronald was pushing his limits.
Once Valeria walked in, she heard what her father said and her face immediately turned dark, "Dad,
aren't we just having a meal? Why are you talking about work now?"
Even after what Valeria said, Ronald did not feel awkward at all.
Instead, he was righteous about it.
"I didn't plan to.But it's because Mr.Anthony is always so busy, so this is the only time I can sit down
and talk to him.Ronald was really shameless.Hardy actually did not wish to meet him at all.
Valeria was embarrassed by her father's actions, so she turned to Hardy and said, "Mr.Anthony, my dad
has had too much to drink.He's always like this when he's drunk.Please don't mind him and don't take
his words to heart."
Other people's daughters would think of ways to help their families.
But Valeria was making things hard for him.It was infuriating to Ronald.
If it were Ashley, things would definitely turn out well.
She would try her best to persuade Anthony with just one look from him.
They might even be able to seal the deal then and there.
Ronald was extremely angry, "I am not drunk.I am talking about important matters with Mr.Anthony”
Valeria did not look at him at all, "Usually, drunk people won't say that they are.Please forgive my
father, Mr.Anthony.He must have had too much today: Upon hearing what Valeria said, the cold gaze
on Hardy was replaced by a gentle smile.
"It's okay.There's no harm in talking about a little business .If you wish, you can look for me at my
company tomorrow.
Hearing this, Ronald was surprised, "Really?"
"Yes, I should be available the whole morning"
Ronald had always begged and pleaded to see Hardy.
But now, Hardy was so accommodating towards him and it made Ronald smile in delight.
He could clearly tell that the reason behind it was because Hardy was interested in Valeria.
"Thank you very much, Mr.Anthony! Valeria, give Mr.Anthony a toast!"
Valeria was so sullen and unhappy that she ignored Ronald.
Hardy, on the other hand, smiled and raised his glass, "Valeria, this is to you."
He smiled gently and changed from calling her Miss Brown to Valeria.
She was uneasy with it but he was already holding his glass up.So she could only accept it and clinked
glasses with him.
Ronald could clearly see that Hardy's attitude towards Valeria was different.
If he really liked Valeria and they got married, things would be different then.
Even if they didn't get married in the future, he had to seize the opportunity as soon as he could.
His company's stocks were still at rock bottom.
If he didn't do something, it would be terrible when the stocks were announced the following day.
To reduce the loss of his company, he had to do something.
Ronald quietly picked up his phone and sent a message, "Get someone to wait in front of Wolf Group
and take some pictures of Valeria and Hardy.Send the pictures out as a rumor of them being together"
After dinner, Valeria left with her father and Hardy.
Once they walked to the lift, she saw Richard and Michael walking over to them lazily.
Valeria looked behind them but could not see William and that beautiful lady.
Were they still in the private room? While she was still thinking about it, Richard, Michael, and Hardy
greeted each other.
Then, Richard's shining and bright eyes looked to Valeria and said, "Valeria, are you not gonna greet
us?"
Valeria forced a smile and said, "Hello Mr.Clark and Lawyer Michael!"
"Hey, don't you usually call me bro? Why are you calling me Mr.Clark now?"
"That's true, Valeria.We didn't do anything to you.Why are you acting like we're strangers?"
Michael took a dig at Valeria too.
Seeing how the both of them were calling her by her name intimately, Hardy slightly knitted his brows.
When Richard saw it, a smirk flashed in his eyes, "Do you want to go to Climax Space later?"
"I'm not going!" Valeria replied gloomily.
"Are you sure you don't want to? It's going to be very fun tonight!"
"I said I don't want to go.Stop talking about it"
Valeria glared at Richard and stomped into the lift.
Richard and Michael then followed her in while smiling mischievously, "Are you angry? I didn't even say
anything, why are you so sensitive?"
Hardy frowned as he walked in behind them.
It seemed as if Valeria and Richard were very close.
Was Richard wooing Valeria? She was really beautiful, so it wasn't impossible.
Hardy quickly walked in and stepped between them.
Seeing this, Richard turned to Michael and said, "We'll have a show to watch later"
"Yes, it's going to be a marvelous one."
The both of them were speaking in riddles while Valeria ignored them and stood with her gloomy face
against the lift door.
Once the lift stopped at the ground floor, Richard and Michael walked out first.
They also asked Hardy casually, "What about you? Wanna join us to Climax Space later?"
"There's no need.Let's meet another day!"
"Well, Valeria.You had better come over later.Or else you will regret it!"
After saying that, Richard and Michael walked out of Wolf Group Hotel.
There were three cars parked outside.Michael and Richard got on their respective cars while there was
another car behind them with passengers in it.Valeria looked inside and froze.
