Once the door had been opened, Charles was confused as he stared into the darkroom.
What the hell was going on? He was trying to figure out what was happening when a strange smell
reached his nose.
He tried to leave the room after a shriek, but a hand caught him and pulled him in before he could
react.
Once Lamont had tossed the unconscious Charles onto the bed, he turned the lights on to check the
two figures that were lying together.
"Imagine how confused they would be when they see each other tomorrow!" He chuckled.
Valeria sneered at the figures coldly with narrowed eyes, "This was Ashley's scheme.After all, she had
planned to marry me off to a b*stard while she was planning to marry a millionaire.I wouldn't be safe
right now if William hadn't saved me.I swore to get revenge on them after that incident!"
Lamont looked at Ashley's figure in disgust, "You're too kind, Miss.I would have taken things a step
further"
"You wouldn't be able to stop Ashley and Julie just by ruining their reputation because they're
shameless b*tches.By letting her sleep with Charles, she would be fighting against Elizabeth to make
her dreams a reality.Wouldn't that be a perfect revenge?"
Lamont nodded in agreement as he sprinkled the drug in his hand on both Ashley and Charles.
Once they were done, the both of them locked the door and left the room.
As they arrived at the escalator, a group of fully-armed policemen rushed out from the escalator and
immediately headed into Declan's room.
Valeria and William made their way into the elevator after a glance at each other.
Valeria had received a call from William once they had entered the elevator, "I'll be waiting for you at
the parking lot."
"Alright!"
Valeria glanced at Lamont as she ended the call, ' TH be taking my leave then, Uncle Saunders!
William asked me to meet him in the parking lot."
"Be careful, Miss! See you later!"
Valeria headed to the parking lot and Lamont made his way out through the first floor.
William had flashed his car lights once he spotted her, and Valeria rushed over to him immediately.
William greeted her with a smile, "How did it go?"
"Perfectly"
Valeria grinned, "I'm thirsty, can you pass me some water?"
Valeria gulped down the bottle of water that William had handed to her before returning it to him, "It was
a success ! I can't believe my plans turned out so well!"
"That's great to hear, congratulations!"
William was excited after seeing how pleased Valeria was, "Shouldn't you reward me now that your
plans have been carried out successfully?"
"Of course!"
Valeria wrapped her hands around William's head, "Let me give you a kiss!"
However, William was unwilling to let her go with only one kiss and he immediately wrapped his arms
around her.He only let go of her after they had shared several passionate kisses.
"Let's go home!" He suggested softly.
"Sure!"
William started the car and drove them out of the parking lot.
There were police cars and reporters crowding at the entrance of the Halcyon Hotel when they left.
As they drove past the entrance, Valeria saw the police leading out Declan and the waitress in
handcuffs.
A group of disheveled strangers had also been handcuffed as well.
"The police have done us a favour by stopping the illegal acts of the Halcyon Hotel!" The crowd
muttered.
"Declan was powerful enough to hide this ‘secret' for a long time with the support of others, but I guess
he's done for now!"
"You're right, didn't he get away with it when the police came to arrest him a few years back?"
Valeria's face darkened when she overheard their conversation, "Is Declan being supported by
powerful people?"
"He is!"
William nodded, "He would've been locked up after murdering his four wives if they had not helped
him."
"My plans have been wasted, right?" Valeria glanced at William before asking.
"No, your plans were perfect! You managed to catch him after all, right?" William tried to comfort
Valeria.
However, Valeria had been enjoying her success too much, and she doubted herself as her plans had
gone too well instead.
How could Declan have fallen into her trap if he was as powerful as the rumours were? Where were his
bodyguards? Why were they missing throughout the whole event? Charles’ bodyguards had not shown
up while he was falling for his trap either.
Valeria's heart skipped nervously when she realised what had happened.
"Both Charles and Declan's bodyguards did not turn up to save them tonight.Oh no, it would be terrible
if they had manage to catch Lamont and I in the act!"
William laughed after glancing at Valeria’s nervous expression, "I've dealt with their bodyguards, don't
worry about it!"
"You did?" Valeria looked at William in disbelief.
"That's right! I wouldn't lie to you."
"How did you get so many people to help you?"
"Haven't you heard about my group of elite bodyguards?"
William smiled, "I've been employing them to protect myself.I arranged for them to be in the hotel just in
case you and Lamont needed extra help.Valeria sighed in relief when she realised that William was
answering her seriously, "Thank you for that, I would have gotten caught if you hadn't sent your
bodyguards! Also, didn't you mention that there was someone powerful supporting Declan? Could his
supporters force the police to release him so that he could evade all crimes by changing his name?"
"That won't happen! Don't worry, I'll make sure to get someone to deal with him because he tried to
steal my wife!"
Valeria was worried even after hearing William's declaration, "How much did you help me tonight? Be
honest."
"Not much, I only helped you to take care of some minor issues so that your plans would be perfect."
William answered with a smile.
Valeria doubted his words but it was obvious that William was unwilling to tell her the truth, "I'm worried,
will we be alright William?"
"Don't worry, we'll be fine.Mark my words."
William comforted her, "Alright, time to go home and rest then.You should get ready to see the surprise
that I've prepared for you tomorrow"
