Hayden didn't say anything.
Instead, he got into the elevator with a smile.
When they reached the parking lot, they split and went separate ways.
William helped Hayden into the car and waved goodbye with a smile.
The driver started the car and drove away with Hayden.
However, William didn't leave immediately.
He lit up a cigarette when he got into the car.
Hayden, who was sitting in the back seat, turned around and saw William smoking alone in the car.
The smile on his face gradually faded away.
He looked at the butler, Lucas, and asked, "Did you hear William's phone call just now?"
"It seems to be a call from Mr.Richard.He's talking about what Sir Charles said this morning,’ Lucas
answered immediately.
"Didn't he say that the matter in the morning had been suppressed and covered up? Why is it being
spread again ? Please take a look at what's going on right now,’ Hayden ordered.
After making a few calls and trying to figure out the matter , Lucas reported, "The news was indeed
released last night.Sir Charles found out about it and ordered for it to be taken down.But it is being
released once again and it's getting viral.The informant told me it's not possible to cover it up anymore
now”
"What an excuse! What could possibly be out of control from our family in this city?"
Hayden spoke in a cold tone.
"What is Charles planning to do? What good does it do to him to defame William's reputation?"
"Um..."
To Hayden, both William and Charles were his children and he could say whatever he wanted about
them.
But it was different for Lucas.
He couldn't simply comment on anything as he was only a staff.
Instead of answering Hayden, he changed the subject, "There's another news that is as viral as Sir
William's.It's about Valeria Brown."
"Valeria? What happened?"
"It's about her, Mason, and a woman named Ashley Evans.It's quite complicated...The story is more or
less about how Mason cheated on Valeria with Ashley.The interesting part is that Ashley is actually
Valeria's step-sister, which means Ashely is an illegitimate daughter of Valeria's father.After Mason had
an affair with her, Ashely got pregnant.Her miscarriage was a result of her own carelessness as she
fell.But they tried to blame Valeria and now they have been exposed with concrete evidence’
"Why does it sound completely different from what Charles said this morning?"
Hayden was astonished.
"Yes, it is indeed different.I'm not sure about the issue with Mason and Valeria, but there's a video of
the miscarriage."
Lucas hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Remember the incident when the Howard Family
apologized to the designer last time? It was actually also an apology to Valeria.Mason and Ashley's
plan to manipulate Valeria was exposed and countered by Valeria herself.I've mentioned this to you,
but you didn't really care about this issue last time’
"So, do you mean what Mason and Charles told me this morning was not true?"
Hayden chuckled with a bright smile.
"I can roughly assume what's going on.Let the news spread and don't bother about it.I want to see how
Charles plans to handle the consequences."
After Mason and Charles went to the Howard family house to complain, they went back to Charles’
villa.
Last night, Elizabeth and he spent the whole night discussing their plan, and now he was sleepy.
He decided to take a nap after everything was settled.
Just as he was sound asleep, he heard a loud commotion coming from outside.
Mason got up in shock and heard Charles yelling angrily downstairs.
"What the hell is this? Do you take me for a f*cking fool?"
Mason's feeling of sleepiness vanished completely and he immediately went to have a look.
In the living room, Elizabeth was covering her face with her head lowered down.
Charles put his hands on his waist and he looked furious, "Didn't you say that the plan is going to
work? Look at what the f*ck they exposed!"
"Useless b*tch!"
With a loud curse, Charles slapped Elizabeth hard on the face again.
He even gave her a forceful kick! Elizabeth was kicked back and she fell on the sofa.
Charles was still angry so he went to grab Elizabeth's hair violently.
Looking at the situation downstairs, Mason was both afraid and mad.
He hurried down the stairs to stop him, "Uncle! Stop!"
Upon hearing Mason's voice, Charles let go of Elizabeth.
He turned his head and slapped Mason too, "Both of you are going to be the death of me!"
Mason took a step back after being slapped and Charles threw a newspaper in front of Mason.
"Just take a look! What the hell did you tell me last night, hmm? I f*cking believed in the both of you
and even slandered William in front of my father.And now? Wonderful! How am I supposed to face my
father now?"
Mason looked over and saw the headline on the front page.
‘A lady from a rich family slandered by a playboy and his mistress: After seeing the contents clearly,
Mason was taken aback.
How did the news of Ashley's miscarriage come to light and even got into the headlines?! Was it
Valeria who did it? Mason hurriedly explained, "Uncle, this must have been done by Valeria.She was
the one who pushed Ashley and now she's lying...
Before Mason could finish explaining, Charles slapped him again.
"Son of b*tch, look at the back! You told me it was Valeria who cheated on you! Now they have
evidence of you meeting up with Ashley in the hotel.It shows that you were already hooking up with her
more than half a year ago! Also, you told me it was Valeria who pushed Ashely which led to the
miscarriage.But it's actually Ashley who fell by herself.It has nothing to do with Valeria at all! Why the
f*ck did you lie to me?"
Mason was being slapped twice and he felt a little dizzy at this moment.
Elizabeth was extremely upset to see Charles hitting him.
She didn't care about anything else and got up and hugged Charles’ waist, "Honey, please calm
down.Mason has his reasons...Don't hit him anymore, okay? He's a grown adult now, and it's
embarrassing to hit him like that.
Charles let out a huge breath, "Embarrassing? Look at what he did.If he didn't drag me into this maybe
I wouldn't have been so furious.I even talked so much nonsense in front of my father! How do I explain
myself now? Tell me!"
This was driving Charles crazy.
Both of them had been blaming Valeria for the breakup and saying it was her who cheated.
Charles never took it seriously, nor did he have any interest in it.
Last night, when Elizabeth and Mason were complaining about this issue, it just happened to be at the
right time when he wanted to teach William a lesson, so he decided to trust this two.
Who knew things would turn out this way.
Charles even took Mason to denigrate William in front of his father! He had always acted like he had a
close relationship with his own brother, William.
But now Mason had ruined everything!
"F*cking piece of shit! No matter what, get this problem solved for me as soon as possible!"
Elizabeth covered her face and said, "Honey, Mason and I will go to apologize to dad and admit our
faults.Don't worry, we will take the responsibility for this."
