The man at the door was short and plump, and he appeared to be in his fifties.
However, what stunned Valeria were his sharp and fierce facial features, and she couldn't help but
shiver at his intimidating presence.
While Valeria was observing him, he had also been paying attention to her as well.
Valeria had a slim and hourglass figure that showed off her curves whenever she walked.Her dreamy
round eyes and other exquisite facial features only further highlighted her beauty.She was indeed every
man's walking wet dream.
This gorgeous woman with such beauty and grace could catch anyone's attention! Ronald must be
insane, why was he so eager to marry off this stunning daughter of his? Of course, now that Ronald
himself had offered Valeria to Declan, he had no reason to refuse this amazing gift.
When Ronald had sent him a picture of Valeria, he had decided to keep his expectations to a minimum.
This was because, with the power of plastic surgery and Photoshop, women could always appear
flawless in photos.
However, he was relieved as the photo that Ronald had sent him couldn't compare to the actual beauty
that was standing in front of him.
It was so worthwhile to ‘buy’ her over.
Valeria glanced at Declan’s limping footsteps as he made his way to his seat with a pleased face.
Declan smiled, ignoring how Valeria was observing him openly, "I'm sorry for arriving late!"
"Don't worry about it, we haven't been waiting for long!"
Ronald smiled before introducing Valeria to Declan, "Meet my daughter Valeria.Valeria, meet President
Anderson."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Brown!"
Declan greeted as he reached out for a handshake.
However, Valeria did not return his handshake as she was frozen by Declan‘s uncomfortable stare.
Instead, she smiled politely before greeting him, "Nice to meet you too, President Anderson!"
A flash of displeasure flashed across Declan’s eyes when he saw that Valeria had refused his
handshake.
So, Ronald immediately smiled and stepped in, "Please don't mind her rudeness, President
Anderson.Valeria can be a little shy at times."
"No worries"
Declan fixed his gaze on Valeria as he sat down, "How old is Miss Brown again?"
"She just turned 24 this year" Ronald answered.
"Wow, you look really young and gorgeous for your age!" Declan praised, satisfied with the view in front
of him.
It was obvious that Declan was staring openly at her.
Valeria shuddered in disgust, why had Ronald decided to work together with Declan? Based on the
creepy stares she was getting, it was obvious that this was more than a normal negotiation.
Otherwise, why would Ronald's business partner be staring at her so inappropriately?
"Why don't we start talking about the contract then?" Valeria asked unwillingly.
"Sure!"
Declan gestured for his assistant to pass the documents that he had brought along with him, "Mr.and
Miss Brown, please take at the look at the proposal that my assistant has prepared."
"Alright!"
Ronald grabbed the proposal and handed it over to Valeria, "Valeria, why don't you take a look first?"
Valeria nodded as she read the proposal carefully.
It was a proposal which stated, with the help of Declan, Brownard Group was planning to build a new
shopping mall.
Declan would be the main sponsor of the project as he would be covering 80% of the cost, and
Brownard Group would pay for the remaining 20% out of their internal funds.
The proposal was reasonable and Valeria could find no fault with it.
As Valeria continued to go through the remaining details of the contract, she noticed that Declan's eyes
were fixed on her the whole time.
She was disturbed by the disgusting looks that Declan was giving her.
Valeria looked up and decided to point him out, "President Anderson, is there something wrong? Why
are you staring at me?"
"That's because you're gorgeous"
Declan answered openly, not bothering to hide his intentions anymore.
Ronald froze before trying to break the stiff atmosphere, "President Anderson is just joking.Valeria,
don't think too much about it."
As Ronald narrowed his eyes at Declan, Declan got the message and immediately replied, "Yeah,
please don't mind me, Miss Brown! However, I think you're really gorgeous though!"
Valeria had really wanted to punch Declan because of how creepy and disgusting he was acting.She
wasn't a fool and she knew about Ronald and his cunning tricks.She knew that Ronald and Anderson
were planning something for her, but what? Could it be that Ronald was trying to marry her off to
Declan? Valeria was stunned and disgusted at the thought that had suddenly arisen.
It couldn't be! No matter how heartless Ronald was, he was still her father! Valeria refused to give in to
the thought, but she changed her mind when she thought about the recent measures that Ronald had
taken .
It was obvious that Ronald would resort to any means just to earn more money for himself.
Why bother reading the proposal then? If Ronald's real plan was to marry her off, the proposal must be
fake.
Valeria placed the proposal on the table as she took the opportunity to send a message to Lamont,
"Lamont, Ronald brought me to meet this disgusting guy called Declan.He has been staring at me
creepily this entire time!"
Lamont reply was quick, "Declan is a pervert who uses his money to play around with
women.According to rumors, he had tortured all four of his ex-wives to death!"
Valeria was disappointed after seeing Lamont's reply.
How could Ronald do this to her? How could her own father be so cunning and ruthless that he was
willing to ‘sell’ his daughter off just for his own benefit? Declan glanced at Valeria who had been
sending messages on her phone with a perverted smile, "What do you think about the proposal , Miss
Brown?"
"I'm not as experienced as my father and Kyrie.Why don't you ask them for their opinions instead?"
Valeria replied.
"Alright, I'll take a look!"
Ronald picked up the proposal and pretended to flip through it.
Valeria had already seen through this whole act, so she picked up her bag to leave, "I'm going out for
some fresh air."
Now that Valeria had left, so there was no point for Declan to act anymore.
"You have a beautiful daughter, feel free to name any price you want."
"Thank you for being so straightforward, President Anderson.It would be great if you could work
together to build a shopping mall with my new company that I'll be setting up soon."
"Alright"
Declan agreed immediately, "Ils Miss Brown alright? Has she been informed about the terms of the
contract?"
"I haven't actually informed her about it.But everything will fall into place now that you and I have come
to an agreement."
"What do you mean?" Declan asked pretentiously.
"Don't worry about it, I'll make sure to send Valeria over to your place as soon as possible.Mark my
words, she'll cry and scream for a few days, but she'll give up as she realises that she can't do anything
about it!"
Declan laughed boisterously, satisfied with Ronald's answer, "I believe you, Mr.Brown! I fell in love with
Miss Brown at first sight.I couldn't wait any longer! Could we perhaps...seal the deal in bed?"
"Of course!" Ronald agreed immediately.
"How does today sound then?" Declan asked impatiently.
"That's fine with me!"
Upon getting Ronald's approval, Declan immediately signaled his assistant to dump the contents of a
packet of white powder into Valeria's cup.
