Marrying

Maliah was stunned when she saw Valerie unharmed. “You…”

Meanwhile, Louis walked out from behind the door. “Miss Anderson, long time no see. Sorry to disappoint you.”

Malish immediately understood she had been tricked. She tumed around and was about to leave when she was knocked down from behind.

Valerie took a few steps forward and grabbed her chin with a mocking expression. “Maliah, you’re dumb. You’re brainless like a starfish. Even your plans are easily exposed

Louis scratched his head awkwardly when he heard this. However, it was the truth. Maliah’s methods were too clumsy. He could see through them at a glance. However, she looked confident and believed it would work every time, Louis didn’t know where her confidence came from.

“Valerie, you..

Before Malish could curse, Valerie stuffed a dirty rag into her mouth. “Tie her up!” Her subordinates immediately tied up Maliah.

Valerie smiled and opened the closet. She got someone to put Malish in. Then, she patted Maliah’s face. “You look pretty. It’s a face worthy of being displayed in this closet.”

but Valeri

Malah immediately glared at her, but Valerie sneered. Tll come to you later. Don’t worry, I won’t make you wait too long.”

Maliah was terrified. She did not expect Valerie to leave her inside a closet. Moreover, she was tied up. She was worried about her father’s plan. She panicked and wanted to come out, but Valerie got someone to knock her out. That person placed her in the closet and closed the door.

“Keep an eye on her and don’t let her out!” Valerie ordered

“Yes, Ma’am” Since Valerie had spoken, the bodyguards did as she said.

When Valerie went out, the subordinate heaved a sigh of relief. Valerie’s method of dealing with people was no different than Matthew’s. They were such a power couple. Fortunately, they chose to help Valerie. Otherwise, he would not know what to do if he was to be on Maliah’s side.

Valerie had always distinguished professional and private matters. She spared no effort in dealing with Maliah. However, dealing with her was only the first step. Next, she would do the same to Owen

Louis followed closely behind. Meanwhile, Valerie could not help but laugh. “Mr. Santos, you don’t have to follow me”

Louis looked disappointed Im just protecting you.”

“Il do my best to manage tonight’s matter. Mr. Santos, you should lay low to avoid suspicion.

Louis did not know what she wanted to do. But the incident made him realize the woman before him had top–notch methods and brains. Therefore, he could only listen.

When Valerie saw him leave, she heaved a sigh of relief. She did not want to involve Louis, so she tried his best to isolate herself from him. Then, she looked around and called Leon

“Leon, I didn’t see Malish, Just now, Hugo vomited all over her. I wanted to apologize but couldn’t find her after walking for a long time. Could you ask around about her whereabouts, please? Leon did not suspect anything. He immediately asked around.

Meanwhile, Owen was shocked when he heard his daughter had gone missing. He quickly turned to look at Matthew who was not far away. He panicked when he saw him with a faint smile. Has he discovered my plan! Why else would Maliah disappear at this time?”

“Sir, we couldn’t find Miss.

“Alright, I understand” He dismissed Leon impatiently and looked around. Where does that wretched girl go

Just as he was about to take out his phone and call Maliah, his phone rang. It was a call from his trusted subordinate. Owen’s heart skipped a beat. This should be a good news.

As expected, as soon as Owen answered, he heard good news from the other end. “Sir, they are about to reach the port.”

Owen nodded, but he could not leave yet Leaving early on his mom’s birthday banquet would damage his image, and the guests would gossip. Everyone would be suspicious. Hence, after some thought, he took a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to his subordinate.

He didn’t call his security guards but summoned his two trusted aides. “Send this to the port. Remember, don’t make any mistakes!”

The subordinates immediately went to do his bidding. Little did they know, their move was observed by Valerie’s men. When they saw Owen’s men

were about to leave, Valerie’s men stopped them at the door.

“Who are you? This is not a place you can come as you please!” Luke’s expression was tense. “You dare to stop ust Mr. Anderson asked me to go our and do something. Why are you stopping me! Get out of the way!”

“That won’t do. Everyone who came to this banquet tonight is either rich or noble. I saw you take something out of the banquet just now, so we must screen you first.”

Luke was furious. “Don’t even think about it. This is a company secret given by Mr. Anderson!”

“How can I be sure you didn’t take something precious from Mrs. Anderson? After all, tonight was her birthday party, and she received a lot of gifts. In short, you took something out of her house, so we have to check

The security personnel were Valerie’s men. They disguised themselves as the security team hired by the Anderson family and strictly vetted every guest who entered or left. When Luke heard his order, he frowned. He had never heard of them before. But seeing their tough attitude, he knew they were after him.

He immediately sneered. Mr. Anderson has trusted me to finish this matter, and I mustn’t let his preparations go in vain! Hence, he smiled and took the USB flash drive from his pocket. “Here, this is what I took. Mr. Anderson gave it to me. It’s for business purposes. Don’t tell me you want to confiscate this”

The guards looked at each other and took the USB drive. “Even if it belongs to Mr. Anderson, we must check it first. We’ll return it after we check.”

Luke sneered. “Sure, take your time to check. If Mr. Anderson blamed me, I wouldn’t care. I’m only trying to do his bidding, but you hold me back. It’s up to you guys” Luke shrugged and left in a hurry

After leaving the house, Luke could not help but snor coldly. Fortunately, Owen had prepared everything. Otherwise, he did not know what to do, The guards were indeed as Owen had said. They were up to no good. He took a deep breath and left.

When Owen saw what happened, he was satisfied. Everything was going according to plan. Even without Maliah around, it would not be a problem. If he could deliver the USB drive, it would be fine.

On the other side, Matthew had been staring at Owen. Seeing his calm expression, Matthew guessed he was confident about something. He could not help but frown Owen’s behavior seemed off that evening.

From afar, Owen looked at Matthew and flashed the champagne in his hand. This made Matthew even more certain something was wrong with him. However, it was still unclear what kind of plan he had

At that moment, Matthew’s phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. He looked closely and saw that was Landry, When he picked up the call, his news made Matthew’s pupils constrict.
