Valeria and William left the hospital together and returned back to the car.
Valeria sighed heavily and said, "Do you know why my father was chasing me away?"
"Was it because he couldn't scold you while I was there? Chasing you out would be equivalent to
chasing me out as well!"
"That's just one of the reasons.Another one is that if we leave, he could call his mistress and her
daughter to come to accompany him.
"Really?" asked William.
"Yes.To him, I'm the disobedient and rebellious one.That lady and her daughter are sweet and
gentle.I'm betting that he is going to say things about me later."
William caressed her head and asked, "Are you upset?"
"No, I think I've gotten used to his way of treating me!"
"Was he like this from the start? Does he hit you all the time and whenever he wants to?"
"Actually, he was nothing like this when my mother was still here.He treated me so well, just like how a
father should.After my mum passed away, he totally changed."
Valeria sighed again and said, "Maybe it's really because I was disobedient."
"You're already good enough.Don't start putting the blame on yourself.It's definitely not you, it's him."
"You're the only one who will say words like these to me.William, you're the best! If it weren't for you, I
wouldn't even know how to get through this.I'm just so grateful to have you."
Valeria clung to his neck and immersed herself in the smell of his cologne.
"I'm so blessed to have you..."
William hugged her tightly upon hearing the depressing words from her.
"Valeria, you are the most genuine person I have ever met.I'm so lucky to have you too.I promise to
treat you well forever!"
"Really? You better keep this in mind.You have to treat me well for the rest of your life.Don't ever break
my heart!"
"I promise!" William assured.
Ashley and Julie rushed to the hospital as soon as they received the phone call from Ronald.
Without asking further, they could guess that it was because of Valeria that he had ended up in the
hospital.
When they entered the ward, Julie asked worriedly, "How did all this happened?"
"It's all because of that disobedient daughter of mine! Ugh, I'm so pissed off!"
Ronald put the blame on Valeria completely.
Hearing Ronald's words, Julie said with a distressed face, "How could she be so mean to you? You are
her dad, after all.
How could she hurt you like that?"
"I didn't expect her to be this rebellious as well.D*mn it, she thinks she's a grownup now and my words
don't matter anymore."
Ronald was mad at Valeria, and the fact that he couldn't cooperate with Hardy angered him more,
"What's so good about William? A pretty face is all he got.Hardy is a capable man.She must be blind if
she doesn't like him!"
"Indeed.Why wouldn't she like someone like Hardy? If it's Ashley, she would have tried her best to help
you.How heartless of her.Julie immediately tried to draw a line between Ronald and Valerie.
She said, "Ronald, I'm not trying to say anything bad about Valerie, I just feel that it shouldn't be that
way.How could a daughter be so cruel toward her father? It's as if she's your enemy."
"I know right.I'm just so disappointed that I've raised such a daughter like her for 20 years."
Looking at Ronald's disgusted face, Julie added oil to the fire and said, "Ronald, you should really
consider what I said.I've always felt that there is something wrong.It would be best if you take a
DNAtest."
Julie brought up a sensitive topic.
He usually would be furious hearing these words from her.
However, this time, he was actually considering it.
"Let's talk about that next time!"
"Stop delaying it.If she really is your daughter, you should educate her properly.You should have a plan
if she isn't.What if she becomes worse and brings outsiders to fight against you in the future?"
Ronald thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine with taking the test, but that girl is going to travel
abroad.I don't have anything for the DNA test."
"It's actually simpler than you think.The cup she used before or even her hair can be used as samples."
Ronald finally made a decision and he said, "Alright, let's do it! I'll let someone look for her hair for the
test."
Hearing that from Ronald, Julie and Ashley secretly eyed each other delightfully After having dinner
with William, Valeria was still worried about Ronald.She then specially bought some food for Ronald
and headed back to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, just as they reached the hospital, she saw Ronald walking to the parking lot, escorted by
Julie and her daughter.
Valeria smiled bitterly as she saw how happy they were when they entered the car.
She clearly knew in the first place that Ronald would call that woman and her daughter to accompany
him after she left.
So why did she even bother to do this? Seeing what happened, Valeria went back to the villa with
William.
Before this, she was still worried about Ronald and even considered canceling her plan to Australia.
But it seemed like she didn't need to worry anymore.
He was enjoying his time with Julie and Ashley.
After packing up her passport and some clothes, Valeria and William returned together to his villa.
The next morning, they boarded the plane together with Bobby.
Hayden had arranged for Lucas to accompany them.
Lucas was looking around for William in the airport.
He only found William when he got on the plane.
Seeing Valeria who was next to William, he was shocked.
He then immediately reached out to his phone and wanted to report to Hayden.
William placed his hand on Valeria’s waist and raised his eyebrows at Lucas with a wicked smile.
For some reason, Lucas’ courage dropped, and he slowly retracted his hand.
He greeted respectfully, "Sir William!"
"Yes, I'm bring Valeria along for a trip.Why are you so surprised? You know Valeria, don't you?"
William said with a smile, "Valeria, this is Uncle Lucas."
"Hello, Uncle Lucas!"
Valeria greeted him politely.
Lucas replied with a smile, "Hello, Miss Brown!"
After greeting Valeria, Lucas looked around for Bobby but he was nowhere to be seen, "Where is
Bobby?"
William put his hand on Valeria's shoulder and said with a smile, "I've asked Bobby to take Valeria's
seat.Help yourself and take a seat!"
Lucas sat down, but he felt that William's smile meant something else.He continued to stay in his seat,
as he was filled with guilt about what he had done.
The plane rumbled as it took off from the runway.
Lucas felt a bit uneasy as time went by.
William was arranged by Hayden to go to Australia.
At the same time, Paisley was also on her way to Australia.
If she knew that William brought Valeria along with him, it would be extremely awkward.
However, the plane had already taken off.
There was no way to tell Hayden about it.What should he do now?
