William sat inside his office in Wolf Group with a strict expression on his face as he twirled the pen he
was holding.
Marcus reported, "What was Ronald thinking when he decided to bring Valeria to meet Declan in a VIP
club lounge?"
William chuckled coldly, "Are the results of Ronald and Valeria's paternal test out yet?"
"They are.I sent their DNA out to ten different labs in three different cities so that the results would be
accurate.It took a whole week, and the results were all the same.Ronald and Valeria aren't related at
all!"
"Ah! I see" William sighed in relief.
"I had kind of expected this.After all, I didn't think that Ronald would commit these crimes against
Valeria if she was his real daughter”
"Ronald must have arranged for Declan and Valeria to meet so that he could push her into the tiger's
den! Mr.Howard, I think we should deal with that lunatic as soon as possible!"
Marcus exclaimed angrily "I know, but I'm just worried about what Valeria would think if we dealt with
Ronald now; William sighed, "She would be extremely upset if she knew that Ronald wasn't her birth
father."
"Why would she be upset?"
The words came out of Marcus’ mouth before he figured out why.
If Valeria was not Ronald's child, that meant that Natalie had been cheating on Ronald this whole time
with another man! Valeria would be crushed if she knew that Natalie had been an unfaithful wife as
Natalie had been her role model this whole time.
Marcus understood why William was feeling so troubled, "What do we do now? Instead of leaving
Valeria to face Ronald all by herself, we should tell her the truth right?"
"Ronald won't be able to do anything to her as long as I've got her back.Anyways, she needs to realise
how evil Ronald can be and give up on him herself.I would only be wiling to tell her the truth then so
that she would not be too upset about it."
This was the only solution that he could think of.
Marcus continued after a slight pause, "Miss Brown and the Sir Hayden also went out for a cup of
coffee today.I couldn't overhear their conversation, but in the end Sir looked really angry when he left
the coffee shop"
"Well Valeria probably won against my father if he stormed out of the coffee shop angrily"
William grinned, "Valeria is stubborn and she also has a fiery temper, I bet she gave a good scolding to
my father when he told her to break up with me."
"You think so?"
Marcus was relieved after hearing William's words.
As the both of them continued to discuss other company issues, Bobby entered William's office
suddenly, "Sir, our sources have spotted Lamont!"
"Uh! Where is he?"
William could barely hide the excitement in his eyes once he heard about the news.
"Lamont is with Miss Brown right now.They're discussing some issue, but we couldn't overhear their
conversation because of how cautious Lamont was."
"What's the address of the coffee shop? I'll head over right now!"
William ordered as he began to pick up his car keys before he was stopped by Bobby, "Sir, Lamont's
dangerous, who knows what might happen if you decide to meet him alone?"
"What are you worried about? I wouldn't be so foolish to do something to Lamont under broad
daylight!"
William declared as he patted Bobby's shoulder.
"Besides, I won't be making any moves until we find out the truth of the incident that happened years
ago."
Bobby was relieved after hearing William's explanation, "Alright, I'll go with you!"
"I'll be fine, Lamont would be more suspicious of me if there was someone with me.I'm going myself."
Bobby looked to Marcus for help when he realised that he wasn't able to stop William from meeting
Lamont, "Why aren't you stopping him, Assistant Field?"
"How can I stop him? It'll be fine as Miss Brown is at the coffee shop too.Nothing will happen as Sir
William would be able to control his temper in front of her"
Valeria and Lamont were chatting when her phone rang.
William's gentle voice could be heard from the other end, "Where are you now, Valeria?"
"I'm outside right now, what is it?"
"I saw your car when I was dealing with some matters around this area"
William stated as he opened the door to get off his car, "Are you nearby?"
"Yes, I'm in the coffee shop, do you want to come and grab a cup of coffee with us?"
"Sure, I'll be right there."
Lamont immediately stood up to leave when he heard that William was coming over, "I'll be leaving now
since William is coming over to meet up with you."
"Please stay and meet William.I'm sure you would see the good in him if you have a chance to sit down
and talk to him face to face.Oh , and I also promised not to keep any secrets from him, so please stop
running away from him in the future when you see him as well."
Lamont paused with a strange expression on his face before giving in reluctantly, "Alright."
The door to the coffee shop opened a few minutes later as William strode in.
Valeria immediately waved him over to their table before greeting him, "Come over here, I've already
ordered your favorite, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee."
William sat down next to Valeria as his eyes turned to Lamont, "Who's this?"
"My mother's friend, Lamont Saunders.Lamont, meet William!"
Valeria introduced them with a smile.
Lamont was shocked to see William, but he immediately caught himself and greeted William, "Nice to
meet you, Sir William!"
"Nice to meet you too!"
William replied as he reached out to shake Lamont's hand.
Lamont's hand was coarse and it was similar to Bobby's hand.
This meant that Lamont was also a master in martial arts, and he would definitely be on par with Bobby
if they ever competed.
This must be why Bobby was afraid of him going against Lamont directly, William thought as his eyes
swept over Lamont's face, William was surprised to see that Lamont's face was the complete opposite
of his coarse hands.
Lamont's face was smooth and his facial features were protruding.
To be honest, he would've believed Lamont was in his twenties if he had not known about his real age
in advance.
While William was observing Lamont, the latter was doing the same thing to him as well.
Was this the renowned William, the rebellious successor to the great Howard family? William was
extremely handsome and had an aloof atmosphere around him.
He looked harmless on the surface, and Lamont immediately could see why he was so popular.
Lamont sighed as Valeria must have fallen for his good looks after all.
William took a sip of the coffee that Valeria handed to him before putting the cup down.
He patted Valeria's head gently and asked lovingly, "Are you still feeling sick?"
"Nope, I'm fine now!"
Valeria answered while looking at William affectionately.
Lamont could tell that Valeria was deeply in love with William, as he had seen the same dreamy look in
Natalie's eyes when she looked at Archer years ago.
He understood why Valeria got so defensive when he was badmouthing William just now.
Lamont sighed secretly as everything had gotten out of hand, and he had to inform Archer about the
new updates of this case as soon as possible.
