William strode out of the house while Bobby followed him closely.

After getting into the car, William let out a sigh and he punched the headrest.

Bobby hesitated when he saw that William was so angry, "Sir William, why did you choose this time to

talk to Mr.Howard about this?"

"I just wanted to get the gist of what was going on"

William let out a sigh of relief, "It's okay though, this is all expected.I'm not mad about this."

These words made Bobby confused.

Wasn't he angry because Hayden didn't like Valeria? He thought about it and immediately asked, "Why

are you angry then?"

"I..Forget it.I'll tell you later!"

William picked up his phone and called Valeria.

However, her phone was busy with another call, so he put his phone away gloomily and said, "Let's go

to Wolf Group!"

Valeria put everything else back in the safe and she began to ponder with the bunch of keys in her

hand after Abbie left.She had never seen this bunch of keys before, but her mother must have put it in

the safe because it was important.What kind of keys were these?

"Could it be the key to the bank safe?"

Valeria suddenly thought about how Ronald began to search the house frantically a week after her

mother's passing.

The house was turned inside out.

Ronald casually answered that he was looking for a key to the safe when Valeria asked Ronald what

was he looking for.

At that time, she didn't take it seriously.She simply asked him to ask the bank staff to remake the key.

However, he said that the key couldn't be remade and it must be found.

The bunch of keys she was holding right now...

Could it be the one he was looking for? Her mother had given the company to her father to manage.

Were these keys more important than the company? Valeria's heart throbbed at the thought.

Could it be that something she didn't know about happened between her parents? One more thing

came to her mind.

The night before her mother's death, she heard quarrels from her parents’ room as she was

sleeping.She got up and knocked on their door.

Both her parents had a weird look on their faces, alongside her mother's tear- stained face.

But when she asked about what had happened, her mother changed the subject.

The next morning, her mother took her to the lawyer's building and she left all the shares and property

under Valeria's name.

At that time, she felt that something was very wrong.She asked her mother why she gave all the shares

and assets to her.Her mother explained that she was in poor health, and since she was going to

transfer the property to her anyway, so she might as well have done it now.

After that, her mother fell ill and she stayed in the hospital.

A few days later, she passed away.

Thinking of what had happened before, Valeria became more and more upset.

Could it be that her parents had already broken things off a long time ago, but they were they just

hiding it from her? Otherwise, her mother would not have specifically told her to open the safe when

she was in trouble.

Did she deliberately leave something behind because she was guarding against Ronald, and hence

she had to leave herself a way out? At the thought of all this, Valeria was in a state of confusion.

Later, Ronald called her.

Ronald's voice was surprisingly kind, "Valeria, I heard from Assistant Kyrie Gibson that you're

back.Why didn't you call me when you're home?"

When she suddenly heard his intimate voice, she felt very uncomfortable, "I didn't want to disturb you

because I thought you were busy at work"

"You're my daughter.I'll never be too busy for you"

He laughed, "It's good that you're back.I miss you after not seeing you for a few days .Let me invite you

to dinner tonight.I've already asked my assistant to book us a table.Get ready.I'll come and pick you

up."

She was flattered by his sudden invitation for a meal.

Didn't he hate her very much when she left? Why was he acting like a different person when she came

back? Was he plotting something against her again? Valeria realized that it was impossible for her

relationship with Ronald to go back to what it was before after so many things had happened.

She would always be on guard for his cunning plans against her.She smiled and immediately refused,

"I think I can't do it tonight.I promised Abbie to have dinner"

"You always eat with Abbie...I think it's time to eat with me, don't you think so?"

Ronald's tone was a little sad.

"I know my mistakes now.I'll make it up to you tonight.Our family used to have dinner together once

every few days.Ever since your mother was gone, we seem to have stopped doing that.It's been a

while since I've eaten with my daughter.Just let a father eat with his daughter tonight, please?"

Valeria couldn't help but be moved after hearing his sentimental words.

After all, he was her father.She couldn't think so poorly of him.

Valeria thought to herself and she agreed to his request, "Okay, see you tonight then!"

After hanging up the phone, a hint of cruelty flashed through Ronald’ s eyes.

Ashley, who wans across him, immediately asked, "Dad, did she agree?"

Ronald nodded and Ashley was delighted, "Since she agrees, then we'll have to be ready.Dad, have

you prepared the contract yet?"

"Of course" Ronald snorted.

"Do you need me to do anything?" Ashley asked again.

"No, you'd better behave yourself.This is a critical moment, and it's not the time for you to quarrel with

her.Do you understand?"

Ronald looked at Ashley and warned her.

Ashley restrained her inner excitement and said honestly, "I know, Dad, I won't provoke her!"

"Okay, let me rest for a moment, you can go down now” Ronald waved his hand, and she obediently

went out.

At six o'clock in the evening, Ronald came back with a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good

mood, "You got tanned.The sun in other country is very harsh, isn't it? Why didn’t you put on more

sunblock?"

Compared to Ronald's open attitude, Valeria seemed a little reserved , "Dad, I bought you a gift."

"Really? Let me see"

She handed it to him, and he opened it with a cheerful look, "Thank you, I love it!"

Seeing Ronald smiling without a hint of negativity, Valeria felt a little uneasy.

She recalled him doing a paternity test and how he had fainted and was sent to the hospital, so she

asked him tentatively, "Dad, I heard that you were in the hospital.Did something happen?"

"Who did you hear that from?" Ronald asked.

"Abbie said that she went to the hospital to see her friend and she saw you being rushed to the

hospital" Valeria said as she carefully observed his reaction.

"It's no big deal! It's just an elderly illnesses!" Ronald answered nonchalantly.

"Really? What illness do you have that can make you faint? What did the doctor say?" Valeria asked

again.

A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes at Valeria's endless question.His tone was a bit stiff.

"The doctor said it is no big deal, I was just overworked.Well, it's getting late.My assistant is still waiting

for us outside.Let's go."
