Valeria thought carefully.
The only place she went to last night was Climax Space, and then she went home with Abbie after that,
right? Nothing happened on the way.
How could the card disappear so suddenly? She frowned and thought for a while.
Something was not right.
She remembered calling William when she came back, but she was so angry during the call that she
might have thrown the card somewhere.
Remembering this, Valeria began to look for the card all over the room.
There were only two partitions in the bedroom.
She searched everywhere, but she still couldn't find anything.
She sat down on the sofa with disappointment and said, "Abbie, I can't find the card.What should I do?"
"If you can't find it, then don't bother looking for it anymore.Tell him that you can't find it.It's his card, so
he should go to the bank himself to reapply for another card" Valeria thought that what Abbie said was
reasonable, so she stopped looking for the bank card.
Hardy called her when he arrived at their door, so they picked up their bags and left the villa.
Hardy got out of the car and waited for them.
When he saw Valeria and Abbie walking towards him, his eyes lit up in surprise.
"Valeria, you look beautiful Anyway, Miss Clark is also very stunning!"
"Thank you!"
Valeria and Abbie got into the car, and the driver started the engine and went straight to the venue of
the cruise party.They were quite early when they reached the venue.
The driver stopped the car so that they could get off.The parking lot was quite far from where the cruise
ship was at, but they could see it when they got off the car.The cruise ship was owned by a cruise
company under Acma Corporation.It was 25 floors high and extremely luxurious.
Hardy took Valeria and Abbie onto the cruise ship.
The person in charge immediately came over and said, "Mr.Anthony, everything has been prepared
and it is ready.Please check to see if there is anything else to improve"
"Okay!"
Hardy nodded and ordered the people who welcomed them, "Take Miss Brown and Miss Clark to their
rooms to rest!"
"Miss Brown and Miss Clark, please follow me!"
The person politely led Valeria and Abbie into the elevator.
Valeria and Abbie's rooms were next to each other.
Their rooms were both luxurious suites, which were as lavish as the presidential suite.
When they entered the room, Valeria’s eyes lit up.
"Wow! There's a terrace.You can enjoy the beautiful scenery here!"
"Yeah” Abbie threw her bag onto the bed.
"The room isn't bad.The last time I came here, the room was neither this big nor luxurious.Thanks to
you, I get to enjoy myself this time"
"What are you talking about?" Valeria glared at her.
"It's true.This floor is full of VIP rooms.All the rooms here are occupied by people of high status.I also
stayed on this floor when I came last time, but the room wasn't as big.It seems that Hardy really cares
of you, much more than William."
With Richard limiting her card due to what happened between her and William, Abbie was hateful.So
she immediately began to praise Hardy to attack William.
Valeria retorted seriously, "William was also very kind to me before.At that time, he didn't expose his
identity to me, but he knew that I liked to eat, so he asked people to send me the Wolf Group's
breakfast every day"
"Wasn't he just trying to fool you? Why isn't he delivering the Wolf Group's breakfast to you now?"
Valeria sighed and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about him.Let's go to the deck and enjoy the scenery!"
The two went to the deck to look at the scenery.
As it almost turned dark, the sea was covered with a layer of fog and star-like lights were reflected onto
the surface of the water.It was a unique and wonderful scene.
Valeria was lost in thought while looking at the sea.
Suddenly, Abbie reached out and poked her.
"Look, the b*stard and the b*tch are coming"
Valeria turned her head and looked in the direction Abbie was pointing at.She saw Mason and Ashley,
one after the other, preparing to go on the ship.
The expressions on both of their faces were unnatural.
Apparently, neither of them had expected to meet the other.
"What the hell? How did Mason, that jerk, get an invitation here?" Abbie muttered.
"His aunt is Elizabeth Eich.Hardy would definitely invite him on behalf of Charles, right?" Valeria
sneered.
"That's true.But hasn't that jerk been fired by the Howard family? It's been a long time since I've heard
any news of him.Why is he here today? To make a fool of himself, isn't it? Valeria, should we teach
these two a lesson?"
"No, I'm not interested!"
Valeria was really not keen on dealing with the unexpected couple.
She had no more interest or love towards Mason at all, so how could she hate him? There was only
one person who could emotionally affect her, and that person was now standing tall and charmingly on
the red carpet of the cruise ship.
Wherever he went, William would attract the attention of thousands of people.But today, he did not look
like a person who came to attend a party at all.He wore a simple white shirt, black trousers, and a coat
on his shoulder .
Because of his good looks, the casual outfit worked out and he looked extra good in it.
Abbie snorted when she saw William, "The one who called for the card is here! Strange, I thought he
would be with Paisley, so I didn't expect him to be alone.However, even without a female companion,
it's obvious that it's secretly Paisley, right?"
Valeria forced a smile and said nothing.
Looking at him from a distance, she still felt attracted to him.No wonder she could accept him even as
how he was back then.Because he was the only William Howard in the world.
No matter what his identity was, nobody could resist his charm.
She sighed and looked away, "Abbie, let's go eat something.I'm a little hungry"
"That's a good idea!"
Abbie and Valeria went to the dining room.
Since it was a party, the food was presented as a buffet.
The various kinds of delicacies made their stomachs growl.
When Valeria and Abbie entered the dining area, they saw Richard, Marcus, and Michael.
"They came so early!" Abbie muttered.
Seeing Abbie and Valeria, Michael beckoned them to go over.
Abbie was angry at Richard who had cut off her card, and she didn't have a good impression of Michael
either.
So, she ignored them and took Valeria directly to the other side to sit down.
Michael, who had noticed Abbie's reaction towards them, did not get angry.
He turned to look at Richard and said, "You haven't resolved things with her?"
"Well, she's stubborn.We'd better leave her alone for a few days.
"That's not good.No matter what, you should still give her some money .She even hates me now
because of you."
"It's normal for her to hate you.Do you think she will like you?"
Richard gave Michael a faint look.
Hearing this, Michael suddenly stopped talking.
Marcus, who was beside him, felt that Richard's words were quite direct and he could not help saying,
"Why would Miss Clark hate Michael? Is there something I don’t know of?"
"No!"
Richard and Michael answered simultaneously.
Marcus could not help but stare at them for their suspicious reactions.
Richard pointed at the door and said, "Hey, your boss is here”
