Valeria took a shower once she returned.
After that, she took out her phone and saw that Hardy had sent her a friend request on Whatsapp.She
accepted it, and Hardy immediately sent her an emoji.
Valeria thought that he would be very busy and have no time to reply to her.She only accepted his
request out of courtesy, but she didn't expect him to send her a text.She sighed and thought of how
humiliating her father was .She felt that she needed to apologize for it.
"I'm sorry about tonight, Mr.Anthony.My dad isn't the most reasonable person.Please don't take it to
heart."
"I didn't, so you shouldn't think too much about it too.Valeria and Hardy were not familiar with each
other, so they didn't know what to talk about.They talked about some trivial things awkwardly for a
while.It was an embarrassing conversation.So, she ended their conversation with a good night's
text.Hardy could feel Valeria's uneasiness through the screen.
His impression of her remained for the time they were at the ski resort.
Since the day she took out the heart attack pill to save his friend, her charming big eyes and face had
been stuck in his heart.
He regretted not asking her name then.
Also, he had never expected that he would get the chance to see her now.
Nor did he expect that she was Ronald's daughter.
It was surprising how a shameless man like Ronald could be the father of a smart and kind girl.
Valeria must have felt very humiliated since Ronald was acting like a complete buffoon tonight.
Hardy felt a little sorry for Valeria.
At the same time, he was very interested in learning more about her and what she was like.
Hardy laid on the sofa and he stalked Valeria's profile.
It was just like other women's.
There were mostly pictures of food and travel.
Hardy's eyes fell on a picture of Valeria in Buxemburg.
It was a pose of her dancing in the desert in a red dress.
She looked like a beautiful fairy in such agile moves.
He couldn't help but gave her a 'like'.He really liked the picture of her dancing, so he downloaded the
picture on his phone.
Looking at her picture, his smile deepened.
Suddenly, his assistant called him and said, "Mr.Anthony, you've made the headlines!"
"What do you mean?"
"There is an account saying that you brought your girlfriend to Wolf Group for dinner yesterday.It even
has pictures of you and her.And now, everyone is digging up information about your girlfriend.Its views
are increasing steadily.I suspect that someone is buying the views”
"Really?"
Hardy frowned, "Could it be Ronald?"
"Huh? Why would he do that?" Bevan could not understand.
Hardy didn't answer him, "Let me take a look first."
Hanging up the phone, Hardy searched for the news.
It was a picture of him and Valeria in front of Wolf Group Hotel.
He was asking for her number and Whatsapp there Only he and Valeria were in the picture.
There was no sign of Ronald.
The smiles on their faces could be seen clearly.
However, Valeria's face was covered by him.
Since it did not show her face, Hardy decided not to suppress the news.He called Bevan and said,
"Don't worry about the news.You don't have to do anything and just let it spread.""
"Really? Didn't you hate rumors like this?"
Bevan was puzzled.
"Yes, I used to hate it.But this time, it's different.
I actually like this kind of rumor: After hanging up, Hardy threw his phone aside and poured himself a
glass of wine.
After having a sip, he smiled happily.
In a room in Climax Space, Richard started playing dice with a few guys.
Soon, the room was full of laughter.
Pushing open the door to the room, Abbie frowned when she heard all the laughter inside.
She looked inside and searched for William.She saw a group of people playing dice in a circle.Her own
brother, Richard, had a woman on each of his sides.
Michael was also surrounded by two sl*tty women.
Abbie's gaze shifted from them to William.
He was lounging lazily with a beautiful woman by his side.
This sexy lady must be the one Valeria mentioned.
Was she William's new lover? She was indeed beautiful and she had a charming aura.
Abbie somewhat found this girl quite familiar.
As Abbie was thinking about where she'd seen her before, Richard looked up and saw her.
If Abbie was here, Valeria must definitely be together with her.
She must have rushed here out of jealousy.
Richard winked at William and greeted his sister, "Yo, Abbie! Are you here alone?"
"What do you mean? Of course I'm here alone.Do you see anyone else?"
William raised his eyelids and looked behind Abbie.
To his disappointment, Valeria wasn't there and Abbie was indeed alone.
He squinted and smiled, "Ha! You lost!"
"That's impossible.I don't believe it!"
Richard had just made a bet with William that Valeria would come together with Abbie.
Not giving up, he walked to the door and looked outside.
The corridor was indeed quiet and empty at this moment.
It seemed Valeria was truly not here.
That was weird.
Richard then asked in a low voice, "Why are you here alone?"
"I don't have a boyfriend.Of course, I'm alone” Abbie answered in annoyance and she pushed him
away.
She was here for Valeria.
Since Valeria said that William had a new lover, Abbie had to find out who it was.
Ignoring Richard, she walked to Michael.She wasn't familiar with William, but she was definitely on
good terms with Michael.
Every time Michael saw her, he would greet her with a smile.
But today, he didn't.His change in attitude made her a little angry.
Was he pretending not to know her? Abbie marched up to him and pushed away one of the women.
Then, she sat down next to him.
That woman knew that Abbie was of superior status.
So she could only keep quiet and move aside.
Once she sat down, she nudged her head towards the woman next to William.
Paisley was also looking at her.
Once she locked eyes with the woman, Abbie could tell that she wasn't any ordinary person.
Her clothes were custom-made and she wore an expensive watch and necklace.
She narrowed her eyes at her and asked in an unfriendly manner, "And this is..."
"Hi, my name is Paisley Anthony!"
Paisley introduced herself with a smile.
Paisley Anthony? Wasn't she Hardy's younger sister, who was the talented and smart daughter of the
Anthony family? Abbie was so shocked that her eyes were about to fall out of their sockets.
Paisley was described as such a wonderful and talented person that was hard to reach out to, so she
was surprised that she was here with William.
She was not just any ordinary woman.She was a genius in her studies and she had received many
important awards.
So why would she get acquainted with a casual and ordinary guy like William?
