Valeria went to the back to change her clothes, and Abbie followed her, "My brother
wanted to dance with you, but he had a sudden leg cramp, so he let William take his place.But, d*mn!
William really surprised me with his tango skills.After all, he's William, the pro at drinking and f*cking
around”
Valeria did not reply.She knew that William would not dance with her for no reason.
He must have had some secret intentions.
The voting had already begun when she was changing her clothes.
The performance that had the highest votes was her dance with William.
According to the rules, Patek Philippe’s watch should be their prize.
However, Hardy said that she and William were not lovers, so the couple's prize was given to the
second most voted couple, while Valeria won the Hermes’ bag.
Valeria had no thoughts about the prize, but Abbie was very happy.
"This trip wasn't wasted.You won a limited edition bag! Let me tell you, this bag costs a lot of
money.No, it's something you can't even buy with money!"
"Is that so? I'll give it to you then"
"No, this is your prize.I can't take what's yours"
Abbie, who was a handbag fanatic, refused her offer.
"Valeria, this is a gift from Hardy.It’s not for me."
"Isn't this a prize? What do you mean by a gift from Hardy?"
"You idiot! This bag isn't the same as the bag mentioned in the beginning.It's better! It's twice as
expensive as the previous one.Look at how Hardy treats you..."
"Stop talking about nonsense!"
Valeria felt strange.
She never thought about having anything with Hardy, but according to Abbie’s words, he seemed to
think of her differently.She was not in the right mind for another relationship.
Valeria gave Abbie the bag and went out for some fresh air.
The sky was dark, so nothing could be seen from the deck.
The salty sea breeze blew on her face as she stood quietly.
Suddenly she saw a flash of fire on her left.
Was someone smoking over there? Valeria fixated her eyes in that direction and vaguely saw William's
silhouette.
She didn't see him when they were giving out the awards, so he must have been here for a while.She
rarely saw him smoke when they were together.
However, after they broke up, she had seen him smoking several times.
Was it because he was frustrated? Didn't he have Paisley already? What else was there to be
unsatisfied for? Valeria could not stop looking at William as her thoughts ran wild.
He, on the other hand, was unbothered and continued to smoke his cigarette.
Valeria thought for a moment and she walked towards him.
She hadn't resolved the bank card problem with him yet anyway.
She quickly walked to his side as he stood there smoking while looking out to the ocean.
How could he be unaware of her walking towards him? She didn't believe that William didn't hear her
footsteps because her high heels made a lot of noise, but he did not turn around to acknowledge her.
She felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do, "William!"
He turned around and looked at her indifferently.
Valeria bit her lip and asked, "Did you call the police about the bank card?"
"Mhm"
He didn't even open his mouth to answer her.
"What did the police say?"
"The money has been transferred to a foreign account, so they can't do anything about it anymore."
"Then I...I..."
Valeria said to him, "I'll find a way to return the money to you."
"Really? When will you give it back to me?"
William's voice was full of sarcasm.
"I'll ask my dad first, or I can pawn my jewelry.Didn't you get me the jewelry? I can pawn all of that
and.."
"Don't tell me you really think that your jewelry is worth a hundred million?"
William interrupted her coldly.
"Didn't we get it from the Wolf Group…”
"l was the one who told them to take the money! I gave them the 100 million"
William mercilessly interrupted her.
"You...you..."
Valeria didn't know what to say.
Her jewelry was indeed not worth a hundred million.
She initially thought it was strange too, but she finally figured it out after hearing what he said.
She felt a little miserable, "Was it fun for you to tease me like that since the beginning?"
"I've never said that I was a gigolo, but you've always thought so.I couldn't do anything about it"
"You had many opportunities to tell me the truth.Why didn't you?"
"Do you think it matters anymore to ask me now?"
William sneered.
"Valeria, the one billion dollars was the breakup fee.You don't have to be so caught up about it..."
"I don't want your money! William, I will pay you back."
"How righteous!"
William sneered.
"But how are you going to pay me back? Your father won't give you money, and you don't have the
money yourself.Tell me, how can you pay me back the one billion?"
Valeria found herself at a dead end.
William looked down at her and said, "Actually, if you insist on paying me back.There is someone who
can help you."
"Who is it?" Valeria asked.
"Hardy Anthony?" William's replied with a sadistic look.
"Why would he help me pay for the money?"
Valeria asked in confusion "Are you playing dumb with me? It's not a cute look at all"
William's tone was full of sarcasm.
"He is young, promising, and owns so many companies.One billion dollar is nothing to him.As long as
you use your brain a little, I think he would gladly pay the amount for you."
Valeria blushed instantly and raised her hand to hit William, "B*stard!"
William grabbed her hand and asked, "What's wrong? Are you mad now "
"I was so blind for falling for you!" Valeria said angrily.
She could neither hit him nor bear to stomp on his foot.So, she attacked him verbally.
"William, you're the most shameless man in the world! You have no morals!"
"Am I worse than Mason?" William asked flippantly.
"Yes, you two are almost the same!"
After being compared to Mason, William felt his temper rising.He let go of Valeria's hand and he
pushed her away.
She tripped and screamed as she fell.
When William heard her scream, he was stunned and immediately reached out to help her, "What's
wrong?"
"My foot! William, you b*stard, my foot hurts!"
Valeria was in so much pain that she burst into tears.
William realized that she had sprained her ankle, so he immediately picked her up and said, "I didn't do
it on purpose! I'll take you to the doctor!"
"No, you did it on purpose! You b*stard with no good intentions, I hate you to death!"
Valeria was swearing at him non-stop while William ignored it and carried her inside.
Passing through the brightly lit corridor, he rushed to the elevator while carrying her.
While waiting for the elevator, Hardy came out of the hall and saw William holding Valeria, "What's the
matter?"
