William carried Valeria and placed her on the bed inside their room, "Alright, you can tell me now"
"Guess what I did today? I managed to not only switch out the official seal of the company with a fake
one, but I also got Abbie and Richard to freeze all the company's funds! I'm amazing, right?"
"Wow, that's awesome! How did you do that?" William pretended to be shocked but he was secretly
enjoying Valeria's satisfied expression.
"Wait, aren't you curious as to why I had to do this? I found out that our fathers colluded to take out a
ten billion loan so that they could steal my company's funds!"
"What a smart girl!"
William praised as he gave Valeria a thumbs-up, "So who was the one who told you about their plans?"
"It was Hardy" Valeria stated honestly as she began to tell William about the messages that Hardy had
sent to her.
"So why did you evade me and not tell me about this problem in the first place?"
William questioned, pinching her face while putting on a strict expression on his face.
"I wasn't evoiding you.It's just that Hardy's information might be false and I just wanted to have
sufficient evidence before reporting it to you"
William felt better after hearing her explanation, "I'll forgive you this time, but I have to be the first
person you approach if something like this happens again, alright?"
"Alright, but aren't you upset with me for going against your father?"
Valeria asked bitterly as she met William's gaze with tearing eyes, "You won't think of me as an evil
woman just because I plotted this whole scheme right?"
"Of course I won't! In the first place, you were only forced to fight back because they were plotting to
steal your company's funds.But if you tell me about your future plans, I might be able to give you
suggestions that would work against my cunning father."
Valeria was relieved, this meant that William would support her actions no matter what, "Also, Hardy
sent a photo of Julie going out on a date with a stranger today.They were behaving intimately though."
As she was explaining, Valeria swiped through her phone to find the photo before showing it to William,
"Here, take a look.”
William took her phone and looked at the photo carefully, "Yeah, they look more than friends."
"I want to find someone to follow Julie around, do you have any recommendations?"
William was overjoyed as this was the first time that Valeria had actually asked for his help directly, "Of
course, I'll get someone on it.If you face any problems in the future, you should tell me so I can help
you too."
"What else can you do?" Valeria glanced at Howard suspiciously.
It would be easy for Howard to send someone to follow Julie because of the number of bodyguards that
he had, but it seemed like anything else was impossible.
"I can help you with anything you want as long as you ask for it."
"You're kidding!"
Valeria rolled her eyes at William before stating, "Well, helping me with everything might be impossible,
but you'll support me throughout hard times, won't you?"
William didn't know how to react and he decided to pretend to be angry instead, "Why don't you believe
in me? Don't you know that I can grant all your wishes?"
"Yeah right...I believe you"
Valeria sat up and kissed Howard deeply, "I'll come to you for help if I need it, alright?"
"That's right!"
Howard returned the favour with another deep kiss as he pushed her onto the bed.And they rolled
around in the sheets until dawn...
After Valeria and William had left the dinner hall, Lucas had ordered Steven to send Paisley back home
before escorting Hayden out of Wolf Group.
Hayden had a helpless expression on his face as he rubbed his forehead in annoyance.
"That ungrateful brat, now that he offended the elders of Howard Group, they would only pick on him
more!"
Lucas smiled, "It's alright, Sir William will be fine, you still support him after all."
"That brat needs to learn how to take care of himself! I won't be here forever, and that's why I left
Paisley and Hardy to help him so that he could deal with Charles's cunning tricks in the future.But even
though I already planned out his future for him, he decides to repay me by dating Valeria instead!"
"Don't worry too much Master, Sir William is actually smarter than you think.I'm sure he'll cross that
bridge when he gets to it, after all, he is your son right?"
"I hope so too.I'll do my best to plan his future for him, but I can't do anything more than that"
Howard answered as he checked his watch "Ronald must have been waiting for such a long time, let's
meet him at the coffee shop."
"Sir, are you really colluding with Ronald? I've heard rumours about his illegal actions…”
Hayden interrupted Lucas before he could finish, "I know Ronald's personality even better than you
do.But I have to do this for William.
Lucas decided to stop his persuasion as it was obvious that Hayden had made up his mind, and he
drove them both to the coffee shop silently.
Ronald had arrived an hour before Hayden did, and he was worried that Hayden had decided not to go
ahead with their plans.
He let out a huge sigh of relief when he saw Lucas and Hayden's figures, and he reached for the debt
contract in his bag.
As Lucas started to go over the details of the contract meticulously, Ronald smiled as he offered a
cigarette to Hayden, "Do you smoke?"
Hayden waved, "I don't unfortunately.Are you sure about your decision? There's no going back once
this contract has been signed and Brownard Group will not exist anymore."
"Don't worry, I've thought about it carefully," Ronald answered with a smile.
"Alright, let's confirm the deal then.Where's your seal?"
Both Ronald and Hayden signed the contract and stamped the official seals of their companies on it.
"The ten billion will be handed over to you once the ownership of your company has been transferred
over to the Howard Group."
"Thank you!"
Ronald replied excitedly, thinking about the money that he would receive.
After the other executives had left, Charles and Elizabeth made their way to a car outside Wolf Group.
Charles, who was on the back row, glanced at Elizabeth's upset face before saying, "You dumb b*itch!"
Charles had been humiliated completely tonight and Elizabeth was prepared for the repercussions that
would come from it.
It was all her fault, and she knew that Charles would not forgive her mistake.
Charles stared at Elizabeth slightly before sighing again, "Get out and go back to the villa yourself.I'll
deal with you once I'm done with my business"
Elizabeth got of the car without a word and watched as Charles drove away with loathsome eyes.
A few minutes later, Elizabeth left the carpark and rented a taxi, "Merton Condominium, please!"
