Valeria was extremely embarrassed and pushed Abbie into the room as she closed the door.She
immediately explained, "I didn't do it on purpose...I didn’t know you were here last night, and William
was being so shameless.I couldn't do anything about it either!"
"Pfft, one excuse after another! I don't believe that he could've forced his way through your
stubbornness.I know you like him and can't forget about him!"
Abbie didn't believe her.
"Don't be angry.Okay, I admit that I can't forget him! It's all my fault.I shouldn't have ignored you! I'm
sorry, and I promise this won't happen again!"
"How can you treat that good-for-nothing b*stard like treasure? You make me so mad!"
She retorted bluntly after hearing Valeria’s confession even though she wasn't actually mad.She
couldn't bear staying mad at her anymore after seeing Valeria’s smile.
"Alright, I don't have the strength to be angry with you anymore.I am starving.Let's go and eat
something."
The two of them went to the restaurant on the cruise ship.
Abbie ordered a steak, some seafood soup, a vegetable salad, and a potato pancake.
Both of them were hungry, so they dug in as soon as the food was served.
After filling their stomachs, Abbie put down her cutlery and said, "I heard that there's a barbeque buffet
on the yacht today."
Valeria's eyes lit up when she heard about the barbecue, "Really?"
"It's true.I heard it from my brother and his friends last night.Let's go find them!"
They got up and walked out of the restaurant.
Abbie warned Valeria before calling Richard, "Ignore William if you see him later.If you don't, I won't be
your friend anymore!"
"Okay okay, I know!"
Valeria knew that Abbie was the type of person to hold onto grudges.
After all, Abbie was still unable to unfreeze the card that Richard froze because of William.
Abbie called Richard excitedly.
"My brother asked us to go to the deck to catch the yacht later! By the way, I need to go back to my
room to change into casual clothes for the activities later.You can wait for me on the deck."
"lcan go back to the room with you."
"No need.Just go to the deck and wait.I'll be right there’’ Valeria had no choice but to go to the deck.
When she got there, she saw many clusters of people who were discussing the event that was going to
happen later.
As soon as Valeria stepped onto the deck, Ashley came over and said sweetly, "Valeria!"
Seeing Ashley's pitiful smile, Valeria felt a little disgusted.
She used to fall for Ashley's tricks like a fool because she would act so pitifully.
Now that the two of them knew of each other's true nature, why was she acting so coy? Valeria looked
at her coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Valeria, can you tell Mr.Anthony that I'm going on the yacht with you later?"
Ashley had no choice but to throw away her ego to ask Valeria for a favor.
There was a special guest list for the barbecue tonight, so not everyone was qualified to go.
She received an invitation to the main party because Ronald had asked Hardy shamelessly, but she
was not qualified for the special yacht party.
At first, Ashley wanted to hook up with a few young men so that they could bring her with them, but
none of them looked at her in the eye.
She came to Valeria after thinking about it for a long time.
After hearing Ashley's request, Valeria was completely speechless.
"How shameless are you to come to me for help? I never thought you would have the guts to get help
from me like this"
"I know that we've had many conflicts between us, but I have broken up with Mason, and I have been
punished already.Can't you help me this time?"
"You asked for the punishment yourself.Does it have anything to do with me?"
Valeria was speechless, "Ashley, do you think I am stupid?"
Ashley did not give up.
She hesitated for a while and continued to plead humbly.
"Valeria, I know that I have wronged you.After all, we're sisters.You'll benefit from helping me! As long
as you help me, I promise I won't go against you anymore!"
"Are you negotiating with me? Who do you think you are?"
"I'm not negotiating.I'm just begging you.Valeria, can you just help me this once?"
"No!"
Valeria refused without hesitation.
"I've already humbled myself like this.Why are you still so stubborn? Valeria, please be generous with
me!"
"l should be generous to people and not to animals" Valeria said with a cold smile.
"Brushing off the fact that I don't have the capability to help you, even if I did, I wouldn't help you! Give
up! Helping a dog would be better than helping you, you ungrateful b*tch!"
Ashley grew pale when she realized that the chances of Valeria helping her were zero.
"Valeria, I've already humbled myself so much.What else do you want? Do you think you've won
already? It's still too early to think so!"
"Then come to me when you're qualified!"
After saying this, Valeria moved past her and went straight to the deck.
Ashley clenched her fists.
For her to humble herself so much to ask Valeria for help, Valeria still acted so coldly towards her, so
she was infuriated.
No matter what, she had to find a way to go to the barbeque tonight.
Ashley was going to call Ronald to ask him to help her deal with Valeria , 80 she left the deck to find a
quiet place to make the phone call.
However, she didn't expect to hear a woman crying at the top of her voice.
"What? My brother is injured? Why is he injured? Who did it?"
The woman's voice was loud, which startled Ashley.
When she saw the woman on the phone, a sneer flashed in her eyes.
So she had moments like these too? Ashley more or less were acquaintances with that woman, who
was Lexis’ sister.
Her name was Charlotte Burtos.She was ugly with a muscular build.
They had never talked before, but Charlotte went crazy last night.
Just as Ashley was about to hook up with a rich man, Charlotte came over and poured a glass of red
wine onto her.
Seeing that she had a strong and tall build, Ashley did not dare argue with her.
She held back her anger and went to the bathroom to wash off the wine stains.
Now that she couldn't hook up with the rich man, she was furious and found out about Charlotte's
identity from other people.
She turned out to be the sister of Lexis, who was driven off the boat by Hardy.
Their whole family was mentally ill.
Seeing that Charlotte was on the verge of tears when she was talking on the phone, Ashley's heart was
filled with joy.
She was so arrogant when bullying other people! This was karma for her.
She was thrilled, while Charlotte was fuming.
"Did you call the police? Did you find out who did it? I'll come and have a look!"
"Don't come.Just stay there.It wasn't easy to get the invitation.Now that your brother has become like
this, wouldn't you be wasting your chances if you both come back like this?" Mrs.Burtos stopped her.
Both Charlotte and Lexis were not invited by Hardy himself.
Due to them being distant relatives, Mrs.Burtos went through a lot of trouble to get them an invitation.
Now, her son was lying in the hospital with his hands broken.
If her daughter came back, her efforts would be in vain.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Charlotte didn't persist any longer.
She roared angrily, "We can't just let this matter go.
We have to find out the truth.
Let me know who broke my brother's hand, and I'll peel off their skin!"As she vented her anger on the
other side, Ashley came up with a plan.
"Here comes the opportunity!"
