William walked quickly to his car, but just as he opened the car door, Michael called him.
"William, you should come to Revolving Restaurant now.Your woman is being stolen by Hardy.Come
get even with him."
"Heh" William snorted coldly into his phone.
"What? You don't believe me? They are chatting and laughing happily.lt seems that they're quite close"
"Even if they are, so what? Don't bother telling me such things in future.I don't want to know."
"What do you mean? Are both of you still in a cold war? You're a man, you should just let it go."
"It's not a cold war, it's a breakup! She has nothing to do with me anymore"
"Are you...telling the truth?"
"When did I ever joke?" William answered as he got on the car.
Hearing the car door shut loudly, Michael jumped in shock .
Was he angry? Was he angry because he broke up with her? Michael had only wanted to agitate
William, but now he didn't dare to say anything else.
"Okay, let's have a drink tonight."
"Okay, meet you at our rendezvous" William hung up the phone.
Michael stood there for a while and called Richard.
"William and Valeria have broken up.He seems to be enraged.I shouldn't have told him about Valeria
and Hardy having dinner”
"It's normal to be pissed off after his girlfriend got stolen away.But it's a good thing that they've broken
up.They can just go their separate ways now, Richard said nonchalantly.
"So should we console him tonight?"
"Console him? He's smart and logical enough, he doesn't need us to console him.We just have to drink
with him."
After Valeria and Hardy finished their meal, Hardy sent her home.As she walked past the courtyard,
Ronald walked out of the house.He smiled at her when he saw her.
"You're back?"
"Yeah..." Valeria answered faintly.
"Did Hardy send you back?"
"Yes’' Valeria answered with a flash of annoyance in her expression.She walked past Ronald and
walked into the house.
Ronald followed her and asked, "Why didn't you ask him to come in?"
How could she, a single woman, asking a single man to come into her house? What the hell was he
talking about? Valeria sneered silently.She did not want to speak to Ronald at all and she just made her
way up the staircase.
Ronald stopped her.
"Wait, come here.I have something to Say.
Valeria walked to the sofa across him and sat down.
"What is it?"
Ronald coughed slightly and said, "Uhm...Did Hardy invite you to his cruise party?"
"No." Valeria shook her head.
"Why didn't he?"
Ronald couldn't quite believe her.
"Dad, why would he invite me? I don't even know him well? “ Valeria could not take it any longer.
"He's nice to you and even agreed to collaborate with me.He even asked you to work at his office and
prepared an office for you.He treats you nicely, so of course, he would send you an invitation card"
"Dad, I think you've got it wrong.He didn't agree to work with you, but it's you that kept clinging on to
him.As for me working at his company, that was your suggestion.He agreed to it because he didn't
want to embarrass you.Please don't think so highly of me"
"Even so, Hardy really treats you well.Didn't you notice that he is different towards you? Yesterday
night after the rumor spread, he didn't do anything about it.
He even let you work at his company.
That is enough to prove that you are special to him.
Hearing the word 'rumor', Valeria looked up in surprise.
Ronald was someone who could do anything for his own selfish means.
She was suspicious about the rumor between herself and Hardy went viral the other day.She looked at
Ronald doubtfully.
"You are the one that spread the rumor, right?"
"Nope." Ronald denied.
Although he denied it, Valeria could see the uneasiness in his eyes.
"You must have been the one who did it! Dad, how could you do that?"
"Alright, I admit it was me who spread the rumor.But this is not a big matter, and I just wanted to check
if it was true.That's all, I swear!"
Seeing Ronald speaking so righteously, Valeria was speechless.He didn't even think that he was
wrong.
"Valeria, I can tell that Hardy really likes you.And he will definitely invite you to the cruise party.
By then, can you help me get another invitation card?"
"What are you going to do with the invitation card?" Valeria looked at Ronald coldly.
"His cruise party is only for young people.With your age, I don't think it's suitable for you to go.”
"I'm not going.I'm just helping someone” Ronald scratched his head awkwardly.
"Who asked you to do this?" Valeria asked.
"It's...it's just a friend"
Ronald stammered.
Valeria could already guess who it was.
It must be Ashley! Of course, he wouldn't forget to make plans for her since they both were really close.
Valeria was furious.
Since he wouldn't tell her, she didn't want to expose him.
"Dad, Hardy and I aren't close.I don't think I can help you"
"Valeria, it's very simple.Just mention it to him; Ronald didn't give up.
"I don't have an invitation myself.How am I supposed to mention it?" Valeria said and got up to leave.
Ronald stared at her retreating back and clenched his fists .
Since Valeria was useful to him, so he couldn't afford to offend her.
Therefore, he swallowed the curse that was about to blurt at her.
At Climax Space, Michael got of his car and entered the lobby.
Meanwhile, Paisley was walking in his direction.
Seeing Michael, Paisley smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Michael."
"Miss Anthony, are you alone today?"
"Yes, I'm alone"
"William, Richard and I are going for drinks.Do you want to come together?"
Michael thought of William when he looked at Paisley.
Paisley seemed to be interested in William.
Besides, William was in a bad mood after breaking up with Valeria.He might feel better after seeing a
beautiful woman like Paisley.
"Won't I disturb you guys?" Paisley asked gently.
"No, of course not.Come on!"
Paisley followed Michael to their VIP room while Richard and William were chatting inside.
When they saw Michael entering with Paisley, they were stunned.
Michael smiled.
"I ran into Miss Anthony outside by coincidence.So I invited her to join us"
Richard glanced at Paisley, who stood tall and straight.He immediately understood what was going on
when he saw her gaze fall on William.He was fully aware of what Michael was trying to do.He smiled
and pointed to the seat next to William.
"Miss Anthony, please sit here." Paisley walked to William and sat down beside him.
"Hello , Mr.Howard!"
"Hey, Miss Anthony; William forced a smile when he saw her as he was slightly annoyed.
What the hell was Michael trying to do? Why did he ask her along?
