Valeria's face suddenly changed at this thought.
If that was the case, then Julie and her daughter were the murderers who had indirectly killed her
mother.
Lucian saw the change in her expression and asked, "Miss Brown, did you think of something?"
Valeria nodded.
She didn't know why, but she trusted Lucian even though they were not very familiar with each
other.She told Lucian about her mother's situation before she died.
Lucian was shocked, "So she did not fall sick gradually? It was a sudden illness? That's not normal..."
"Yes, even though she was in poor health before, she was only weak and had no other symptoms
then.My father asked her to hand over the company responsibilities to him to reduce her load, so that
she would have time to take care of her sick body.She only handed over the entire company later."
Valeria recalled, "I accompanied my mother abroad, and we stayed there for about three months.She
became very healthy during that time.She used to be out of breath simply from walking, but when we
were abroad, she could even climb mountains as well..."
"However, she started to feel dizzy again once she had returned to the mainland..." Valeria frowned.
"The doctor couldn't find anything wrong with her.However, I realised that the relationship between her
and my father became a bit abnormal.They had always respected each other before, but they began to
quarrel, and I heard it even though they tried to do it behind my back.Later on, my mother suddenly
gave me all the shares and property under her name before she passed away"
Lucian looked serious after hearing Valeria's story.
"Something's wrong.There must be a reason behind her sudden change.Your mother trusted Ronald so
much, and even she entrusted the company to him and let him inherit her property back then.Why did
she suddenly leave all her shares and property to you? She must have found out something."
"What do you think she found out?"
"She had the capabilities to deal with Ronald quietly when she found out that he had been cheating on
her, but she chose not to do so.What was her reason?"
Natalie was beautiful and talented, and she hated evil deeds.She also had the capabilities to manage a
company.
If she found that Ronald had cheated on her, she would not tolerate him and would definitely deal with
him.
However, Natalie didn't do that.
Instead, the first thing she thought of was to make a will and left her property to Valeria.
This was not her style of doing things.
Did that mean that Natalie had no idea about Ronald's affair? Lucian thought about it but she could not
figure anything out, "Miss Brown, we can slowly look for evidence later regarding your mother's
matters.
Let's talk about the current matters at hand, why are you looking for Lamont? What do you want him to
help you with?"
"Actually, I don't know what he can do for me" Valeria told her about the phone number she found in the
interlayer of the safe.
Lucian immediately replied after hearing about the string of keys in Lucian's safe, "Those keys are the
keys to the bank safe!"
"I thought so too, and I plan to check my mother's safe box information in the bank.However, I don't
know why she left Lamont s phone number behind as well.Lucian, you know him, right? What do you
think he can help me with?"
She smiled and said, "Lamont can protect you from being bullied"
"Just that?"
Valeria didn't believe it.
She could simply find a bodyguard herself, why did it have to be Lamont?
"I'm joking.Your mother actually wanted you to find me, because you can find me once you find
Lamont.He's my man"
"Your man? You and Lamont are husband and wife?" Valeria looked at her in surprise.
"We're not husband and wife" Lucian shook her head.
"We have been together for a long time, and we have a daughter who is one year older than you, but
we are not married. Lamont and I are not considered a couple, and we can't get married for a certain
reason."
Valeria was stunned.
They were not a married couple, but they had a daughter that was only a year older than her! The
relationship between Lucian and Lamont was too complicated! Lucian smiled when she saw Valeria's
reaction, "Your mother knows about me and Lamont.She knows that my daughter is his child.I think she
left the phone number so you could look for me through him, and I would be able to help you this way."
Her explanation was reasonable.
At this point, Valeria no longer hid her purpose for coming and told her about Ronald's plan to steal her
shares and property.
Lucian was furious after hearing her words as she replied angrily, "I knew that he was a bad
person.Ronald is too disgusting! How could he be so evil by playing tricks like that?"
"Aunt Lucian, I don't know anything now.I'm alone and weak, and no one can help me.It would be a
disadvantage for me if I fell out with my father, as he would definitely not go soft on me because of his
mistress and illegitimate daughter.So, can you please help me?"
"No! I can't help you!" Lucian shook her head.
"I have not dealt with the company's matters for many years, and it would do more harm than good if I
mess things up.Furthermore, Ronald will be on guard if I appear as he is extremely familiar with me.So,
in order not catch him unprepared, Lamont and I have discussed it last night and prepared another
person to help you!"
"Who is it?"
"My daughter, Braelynn Saunders!"
Aunt Lucian replied.
The name Braelynn Saunders was so familiar.
Valeria seemed to have heard of it somewhere before, and Lucian continued to explain "She's abroad
now, but she will be coming back to the country in half a month.I'll ask her to find you when she comes
back.She doesn't have any other skills, but she does have the capabilities to manage a company.You
can discuss the company matters with her.Lamont will look for you by then as well."
"I can't wait afford to wait any longer! It'll be too late to wait for Braelynn to come back as my dad plans
to transfer the company's funds!"
Valeria repeated Hardy's message about how Ronald was in the process of transferring properties to
Lucian.
Lucian had a grave expression on her face.
"That's a problem.If Ronald were to use his status to make a fake contract to transfer the company's
assets, you wouldn't be able to stop him at all as Hayden is helping him now.This is a big problem,
Miss Brown...If only you had come to find me earlier"
Did she mean that there was no way to save her? Valeria said with a heavy heart, "Are there no
solutions to this problem?"
"It's difficult! I'll ask Lamont if he has any ideas!"
Lucian sighed, "I can try my best to find a way, but you don't have too much hope in me..."
