Abbie brought Valeria to the deck.
William, the man with him, and the Anthony siblings were not there anymore.
"Where's everyone? Where's my brother and his friends?"
Abbie looked around but did not see Richard, so she called him.
"Bro, where are you? Why can't I find you on the deck?"
"I'm already on the yacht.You should come here with Valeria right now! " Richard replied.
Abbie immediately brought them to the stairs that lead to the yacht, while Richard saw and waved at
them.
Compared to the ship, the yacht was much smaller.
No wonder they needed a special list to control the number of people.
The ship could withstand thousands of people, but the yacht could only fit tens of them.
Valeria and Abbie went on the yacht and followed Richard into the cabin.
The inside of the cabin was not small, and there were quite a few people sitting inside already.
Valeria saw William at her first glance.He was sitting on the sofa with the young man who was with him
since just now.
Paisley was sitting next to him, but Hardy was nowhere to be seen.
Valeria glanced at William angrily.Feeling her gaze, he also looked over .
The corner of his lip twisted into a smile as he waved and signaled for her to come over.
Abbie, who was next to her, saw William waving his hand, but she grabbed Valeria and said, "Don't go
over!"
Valeria did not want to go either.
Paisley and William were sitting so close together.
Why would she go there? To get angry? She did not go over, but Richard, who was in front of her,
walked over.He greeted the man next to William.
"When did you come back?"
"Last night: the man answered with a smile.
Valeria curiously looked at Richard and the man next to William.
"Abbie, who is that man?"
"Don't you know him? He's Andrew Howard, Charles's son! He's been abroad just like William.Even
though they're around the same age, they have completely different ways of dealing with things.Andrew
is similar to Hardy.He's talented and serious about what he does, so Hayden really likes him."
"He's Andrew?" Valeria glanced at him.
The Howard family genes were too good.
Although Andrew wasn't as insanely handsome as William, his looks and manners were better than
average.
"He seems to have a good relationship with William?"
Valeria lowered her voice.
Charles did not like William.
Logically speaking, William should treat Andrew the same way as he treats Charles.
So, she felt strange when she realized that Andrew and William got along exceptionally well.
"Andrew is different from Charles.He cares a lot about William.I heard that Charles would try to mess
with William when he was overseas, but Andrew would always help him."
"If that's the case, then it makes sense"
As they spoke, Marcus and Michael came over from behind, "Why aren't you going over?"
"What if I don't want to go over? Mind your own business!"
Abbie did not have the best temper, "Valeria, let's go out to get some air!"
Michael was not angry at her reaction.
He shrugged his shoulders at Marcus and said, "I didn't do anything to her.Why is her temper so bad “
Marcus smiled and said, "Girls are always like this when they're in a bad mood."
The two walked over with a smile and greeted Andrew.
William saw that Valeria had ignored him and went outside.
Unable to stand it any longer, he stood up and said, "You guys can catch up.I'm going out to get some
air!"
Paisley's eyes darkened as she watched him leave.
Was he going to look for Valeria? She also wanted to get up and follow him but Andrew was a guest
whom she had just greeted so warmly, so there was no reason for her to leave suddenly.
Paisley felt depressed.
Her phone rang, and it was Charlotte who was calling her.
Her eyes lit up and she smiled politely at Andrew, "I'm going out to answer a phone call"
When she went outside with her phone, she realized that William, Valeria, and Abbie were already
gone.Paisley looked around and picked up the phone while walking to the back.
Charlotte said in a flattering voice, "Paisley, I'd love to go to the yacht with you.Can you put me on the
list?"
"I don't know if I can.My brother is the one who is in charge of it"
Paisley didn't like Charlotte at all, but she didn't want to offend anyone, so she couldn't refuse her
request immediately and put the responsibility on Hardy instead.
"I don't dare to ask him...Can you please help me since we're cousins? I'm begging you"
Charlotte begged.
"lll see what I can do!"
Paisley still did not agree immediately.She walked towards the back of the yacht and saw William,
Valeria, and Abbie together.
Valeria's back was facing her, so she could not see her expression clearly.
William, on the other hand, walked straight to her side and stood close to her.
After Valeria moved to the side to create some distance, William followed her and closed the distance
between them.
Seeing William stick to her like tape, Valeria glared at him with an unhappy look on her face.
Paisley was furious when she saw this.
She was always so careful and gentle to William, but he never initiated anything with her.
Valeria was ignoring him, but William tried so hard to win her attention.
On the other end of the line, Charlotte realized that Paisley didn't refuse her request so she asked,
"Could you please give me two seats?"
"Two seats? Who else is with you?" Paisley asked impatiently.
"The other one is my friend, Ashley Evans"
Wasn't Ashley the woman who provoked her and talked about Valeria last night? When did she get
together with Charlotte? Paisley was stunned for a moment.
She usually looked down on people like Ashley, but this situation was different.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Paisley immediately thought about a plan and accepted Charlotte's
request, "Okay, I'll ask my brother and I'll give you an answer right away."
After hanging up the phone, she did not call Hardy but stared in William and Valeria’s direction.
William was not angry at the fact that Valeria had avoided his approaches several times.
Instead, he leaned towards her even more.
He tilted his head and said something to her, and Valeria turned around to glare at him angrily, but he
suddenly lowered his head to kiss her.
Although they just kissed for a short while and Valeria pushed William away, Paisley couldn't stand
it.She turned around and left with her phone.
Before she left, she called Charlotte and said, "Bring your friend along.My brother said yes."
She then called the person in charge of the yacht and said, "Charlotte will bring someone called Ashley
here later.Please let them in."
