The bodyguard at the door of the ward greeted William respectfully as he arrived.
"Is everything all right?" William asked calmly.
"Yesterday, Madam Elizabeth brought her men over, but we stopped her.She was pissed and wanted to
call you, but none of us spared her any attention"
"Well done!" William said before he walked into the ward.
Meanwhile, Hayden was already awake and eating breakfast.
When he saw William, his face broke out into a grin, "You're here!"
"Are you feeling better?"
William sat down beside the bed.
"I feel much better after seeing you!"
Hayden stopped eating his food, and he reached out to grasp William's hand.
"You look well, but thinner than you used to be' "Really?"
William touched his face.
"Yeah, I know you're tired because you have to take care of me."
Hayden looked at his beloved son.
"William, have you considered what I said to you earlier?"
"Working at the company? I.."
"Don't think about it any longer.Just listen to me.I'm begging you!"
"Dad, I really don't know anything about..."
"You can learn the ropes slowly.I'll arrange for a team of professionals to guide you"
"This is too much Dad, it won't do.I'll go work at the company, but perhaps in a lower position.I'd rather
not upset my brothers."
"I always knew you were the most filial son.Fine, low profile it is.But I have one request.You need to
work at the company okay? You can't deny me any longer!"
Hayden insisted on William going to work at the company and William knew that his father was afraid
that he wouldn't have anything to back him up if his father passed on.
However, his presence at the company would definitely cause a stir, and William smiled bitterly in his
heart.
He didn't want his father to worry, but this time his father might have made a mistake.
Meanwhile, Valeria had gone to see Michael.
To be honest, she didn't expect him to be so young and handsome.
Alas, he was rather cool, and Michael stared at her for a long while after she sat down.
Then he said slowly, "I used you as an excuse to send Mason and Ashley to the police station.Do you
have any issues with that? "
"No, that's great! You're simply amazing, Michael!"
Valeria was overjoyed to hear that Mason and Ashley had been caught.
"How did you do it?"
"I have evidence."
Michael retrieved a recorder from his bag and handed it to her.
"This is it.Listen to it, and you'll find that all the evidence you need is in there.This will be a very easy
case, so leave everything to me"
After listening to the recording, Valeria almost laughed out loud.
Mason and Ashley were two very despicable people, and they deserved to be given a taste of their own
medicine.
She would give anything to see their faces during the recording.
Meanwhile, Michael just stared fixedly at Valeria, who was smiling.
Meanwhile, Valeria found that she might have been a little too unrestrained in her actions, so she
sipped on a cup of tea and said, "Thank you, Michael.How much do I owe you “
"That can be settled later’' Michael said slowly.
"Miss Brown, I have a very personal question for you.May I?"
"Go ahead"
"I heard that you're seeing a gigolo.Is that true?"
Then, the smile on Valeria's face suddenly disappeared.
"Who told you that?"
Michael slowly asked, "I heard it along the grapevine.He must be very handsome, right? How did you
meet him?"
Next, Valeria's face darkened.
"Michael, although you can help me, I'm not very pleased with what you said about someone I care
about"
"Someone that you care about?"
Surprise flashed across Michael's face.
She actually cared about William? This must be some sort of sick joke.
"Yes, I care about him, and he is not a gigolo! He is a caring, kind and ambitious man! I'll forgive you for
your ignorance this once, but say that to me again and I'll kill you!"
"You...what kind of rich lady are you?"
Michael was so shocked that he couldn't get the words out.
He thought that William had been bewitched by a gentle and intelligent woman.
However, he didn't expect Valeria to be like this.
"I'm not even a rich young lady in the first place! All right, is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving!"
"That's all.Valeria stood up and left after she heard Michael's words.When she walked outside, she
called Abbie in a rage.
"What the hell is wrong with Michael? He actually badmouthed William! God, I'm so pissed!"
"Valeria, you can't offend him.What if he refuses to help you?"
Abbie immediately advised her.
"It doesn't matter.No one gets to talk about my William that way.What does my relationship with him
have to do with anything?"
While she was venting her anger, Ronald and Elizabeth spotted her from afar and he called out,
"Valeria! What are you doing here? I was just about to call you."
"What do you want?"
Valeria turned to look at Ronald.
"Drop the charges and have Mason and Ashley go free!"
Ronald commanded sternly.
"Who do you think you are?"
Valeria looked at Ronald coldly.
"I'm your father.How dare you disobey me!"
"Dad? Aren't you ashamed to say that you're my dad?"
Valeria couldn't help but laugh.
"What did you say to me when I was being slandered yesterday? You said that I was a good-for-
nothing, and you wouldn't help me at all.Now that I've put those scum where they belong, you come
and defend them? Are you even my father?"
Thus, Ronald was embarrassed and replied, "I'll make them apologize and take responsibility for what
they've done.But you need to free them first.
"Responsibility? Why wasn't there any of that yesterday? So you're here to explain after they' ve been
caught? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Miss Brown, how could you talk to your father like this?"
Elizabeth cut in after Valeria spoke rudely to her father.
"Who do you think you are?" Valeria retorted.
"If it is not mistaken, you must have something to do with what happened yesterday, right? How dare
you show up in front of me?"
"You..."
Elizabeth was so angry that her face started turning purple.
Meanwhile, Ronald was unhappy when he saw now Valeria treated Elizabeth, "Nonsense! Madame
Howard is still your elder no matter what!"
"Even if she's someone to Mason, so what? I'll make it very clear, my reputation has been ruined
because of those b*stards Mason and Ashley.So, if they don't make up for it and clear my name, I'll
never free them!"
"What do you want?"
"Compensation of course! I lost my job yesterday, and I've been vilified on the internet.Oh yes, the
Howard Group also fired me for no reason yesterday and demanded 500 million from me in
damages.They're the ones who slandered me, and yet they want me to pay? Now, I want 5 00 million
back.Don't think I'll let them go if I'm not paid!"
"You're ridiculous! You b*stard, you are doomed now!"
Ronald thought that Valeria had crossed the line, and he rushed towards her to hit her.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and shoved him so hard that he nearly stumbled.
After Ronald righted himself, he stood and looked over before he was startled, "Huh? It's you?"
