The door shut with a loud bang and Valeria shuddered.
Looking at the dishes scattered on the floor, a guilty feeling arose in her heart.Did she say something
wrong? She was so angry that she couldn't remember what she had said.
William had never smashed anything in front of her.
This was the first time he did that and it was frightening! He must have been furious.
Obviously, she had offended him today.
Whatever then, so be it.It was not as if she expected him to be good to her for the rest of her life.
They could just go their separate ways from then on.
William left the condominium in anger and he got on his car.He then sped off away from Lake View
Nest.He went straight to Wolf Group Hotel.
Once he arrived, he met Michael and Richard.They were shocked when they saw his dark expression,
"What happened?"
"I am is pissed off! They say that women are unreasonable creatures.I didn't really believe it until today!
William answered angrily.
"Did Valeria make you angry? Oh, man...You don't have to be so affected though"
Richard laughed and said.
Michael too laughed along and replied, "What made you so angry? Did she stop you from touching
her? Were your sexual desires unsatisfied?"
"F*ck off!"
"I remember you teasing me yesterday.Look what happened to you today.That's why you shouldn't
make your relationship public.It always comes with a price” Richard said in glee.
What they said only made William angrier.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Hey! F*ck off!"
"Alright.I was just joking.Don't be angry! It's time for lunch.Come on, let's eat while you tell us about
it.We'll find a way to help you deal with her"
Richard smiled as he put his arm on William's shoulder and led him into the lift.
Once the three of them arrived, they got into the VIP room.
William then leaned in his chair sulkily.He seemed to be still in anger.
Richard then patted him on his shoulder and asked, "What exactly happened? You can tell us about it"
"Ronald had made the headlines, and she thinks that I was the one who reported it.Without even
listening to my explanation, she got mad at me"
"She has gone overboard! And you just let her be? I have to say, William, is this how you're always
treated in this relationship? Isn't this how typical humble and lowly boyfriends act? This is really an eye-
opener for me!"
"Women simply cannot be spoiled.If you don't let her know her place, she'll only trample on you.You
should ignore her for the time being.I'm sure that'll teach her a lesson" Michael said.
"He's right.Since she doesn't even appreciate your sincerity and love, there's no need to keep treating
her well.Ignore her, and she'll come to you when she realizes her mistake.Oh, right.Didn't she get
jealous when you were in a private room with other women? Why don't you do the same thing and see
how she reacts?"
"No! It's meaningless!"
William said and took a sip of his tea gloomily.
"If this relationship is going nowhere, you should just end it! I don't think your family will agree to you
dating Valeria either.Since it's so hard to keep this up, you should just end this relationship"
William's face turned dark after hearing what Richard said.
Michael and Richard could tell that he was unhappy enough, and they didn't want to agitate him
anymore.So they quickly changed the topic.
Michael brought up the Anthony family, "Have you guys received the invitation for Hardy Anthony's
cruise gathering?"
"Yes, I have.I don't know what this guy is up to.He's making such a big fuss on his return” Richard
answered.
"I heard that it's to celebrate Paisley Anthony's birthday.Do you still remember her?" Michael asked
William.
"I don't remember!"
William shook his head and said, looking totally uninterested.
"How could you forget? It's the beautiful, talented, and smart daughter of the Anthony family.Three
years ago, she had attended our gathering with Hardy.I remember that you said she was beautiful and
had a great figure."
Michael tried to remind William about her and so William finally recalled, "Oh, I remember now!"
"She is getting more famous now.She has already received so many awards in ballet, piano and so
many more.Anyway, she is really talented and smart, I heard that her pursuers were all men who had a
certain extent of fame"
"You're exaggerating, aren't you?"
Richard couldn't quite believe what Michael said.
"No, she is really smart and knowledgeable.You can tell just by the university she goes to.Those that
can enter this university are all intellectuals"
"I don't like beautiful, intellectual, and talented women.I like women who are cute and naive, especially
those that just do whatever I say” Richard answered with a sweet smile.
"Come on, cute and naive? I'll definitely broadcast myself eating sh*t if you even have a girlfriend!"
Hearing this, William, who had been sulking, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Julie had planned to accuse Valeria in front of Ronald the following day.
However, before she could do so, Ronald's secretary called her.
When he heard that he had made the headlines, Ronald was so angry and anxious that he rushed to
the company at once.
As soon as Ronald left, Julie and Ashley felt that something was wrong.
So, they went online to check for any clues.
Julie was dumbfounded when she saw the news was at the top of the trending chart.
Instead of being pushed to the bottom, it was the most popular news then.
There were all kinds of harsh words and criticism in the comments section below.
Reading the comments, Julie's eyes shot up in anger, "How come?"
"Didn't you say that William from the Howard family will suppress the news with his money? It seems
more to me like he bought more views with it.Mom! This must be what Valeria planned to do"
Ashley was enraged.
"Who else could it be if it weren't her? I have underestimated this shameless woman.I thought that she
would at least have some conscience and help your dad keep his reputation.I never would have
thought that she would be so ruthless and ignore her father"
Julie gritted her teeth in anger.
She had been so confident in this and now when she knew she was going to fail, she was angrier than
before.
"What should we do now? Mom, we don't even have to tell dad that it might be Valeria.He should
probably know that by now.But our reputation..."
"It's already bad anyway.Just let her be.Your dad will make sure to deal with her!"
"Dad will definitely kill her, but I don't know whether the company's reputation is going to be tarnished"
Ashley added.
"Why don't you call your dad and ask him about it?" Julie called Ronald, but there was no answer.
Ronald had no time to answer her calls as he was busy trying to keep the news from spreading.
After the stock prices were reported, Ronald saw that the company's stocks were at their lowest.
Seeing the stocks that were worth millions of dollars drifted away like that, anger rose in his stomach.
He quickly let the Public Relations Department issued a statement about it but it was too late as the
news had already spread like wildfire.
Ronald finally made some time to call Valeria, "Where are you? Come to the company immediately!"
