Obsession With Mr. Right

Chapter 176 

When they left Climax Space, Valeria did not have supper with Hardy.

Instead, she said that she had a headache and asked Abbie to send her back.Hardy also knew that Valeria was helping him to smooth things out.

He wasn't dumb to not know that he was tricked that night.

If it weren't for Valeria’s interruption, he would have continued the game even though he knew that he was going to lose.

Although he was good at business, he didn't have much talent for gambling.

Knowing that he would lose his money, he still insisted on continuing the game.

This was the first time that he experienced this.

After all, no man could stand losing their pride and dignity.

Besides William, the others were reputable people.

Thus, it was embarrassing that he was humiliated by him that day.

Fortunately, Valeria came to the scene and ended it.

However, Hardy was embarrassed by it.

He was ecstatic by seeing how Valeria protected him.

Did it mean that Valeria cared about him? Watching Valeria and Abbie leave, Hardy turned to Paisley and asked, "

Was William playing tricks earlier?"

"I don't know.Well, I don't think so.All I think is that you are really lousy at it” Paisley replied.

"Since when did you start siding with an outsider?"

Hardy looked at Paisley and frowned.

"Bro, William really didn't play any tricks.I was sitting next to him, of course I would be able to tell if he was."

"Well, even if William didn't play tricks, don't you feel that they were going against me?"

"That's true.It must be because you belittled Howard Group previously.So William is angry with you."

"Just because of this? But didn't you notice that Marcus acted differently around William?" Hardy asked.

"Uhm…” A little, their relationship is really weird.

Paisley nodded and said, "Bro, don't you think that William is very smart?"

"Of course, William was accepted into the same university as me.There is no doubt that he is smart.”

"If that's the case, why is he so idle ? With a brain like that, he can accomplish a lot without needing help from his family."

"I don't know why.Maybe there are other reasons behind it.Anyway, just forget about it.Stop talking about him and have a rest.We still have a party to worry about tomorrow- As Abbie drove Valeria home, she muttered, "It's strange.Why are they targeting Hardy? Hardy must have been tricked today.But didn't William like Paisley? Why would he torment his future brother-in-law?"

Valeria rubbed her head.

"I don't know.Who knows what he's thinking?"

"Valeria, you and William are officially on bad terms now.When we left, I saw the look on his face.It seemed as if he wanted to eat you alive!" Abbie said.

Valeria was silent, but she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, what were we here for today? Didn't we come to return William that card? We didn't even complete our main purpose for being here today!"

"Yes, I have forgotten about it too!" Valeria also remembered.

"But William is really something.He was so keen on you before and even followed you wherever you went.And now, he says such ruthless things to you.That's why men can never be trusted.It's good that you didn't trust him”

Valeria sighed and felt her headache getting worse.

William totally changed her perspective today.He actually rejected her so obviously that night, as if Valeria was eager to kiss him? That d*mn playboy.

Thinking of William's refusal, Valeria was agitated.

However, she had no right to get angry and it was useless to get angry too.

After all, she wasn't there to talk about their romance that day.She was there to return the card though.

Valeria tried calling William, but there was no answer.

She looked at Abbie, "Abbie, call your brother and ask him where William is.I am going to return him the card"

Abbie immediately called Richard, who said that he didn't know where he was as they left Climax Space for quite some time.

He mentioned William would probably return home.

After hanging up, Abbie said to Valeria, "Let's go to his house.My brother said that he has probably gone home."

The two of them then went to William's villa.The place was pitch dark, so there was obviously no one around.

Abbie got of the car and rang the doorbell a few times.However, no one opened the door.

"What's wrong? Where is he?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"I don't know!" Valeria replied dejectedly.

"He can't possibly be with Ms.Anthony now, right?"

Abbie made a guess.

"Abbie, let's go"

Valeria was getting dizzy and she didn't want to wait any longer.

Abbie then sent Valeria back.

Valeria drank too much that night so she wasn't in a good mood.

Her head was spinning and she didn't want to speak on her way home.

After they reached Valeria's home, Abbie patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much and have a good rest.We can look for him tomorrow."

"Alright.Drive safely” Valeria went in after watching Abbie leave.

In Valeria's room, Ashley was looking for something.

"That's weird, dad.Where is all her jewelry?"

Ashley was going to the cruise party the following day, but she didn't have jewelry for it.

Since Ronald didn’t want to waste money buying them for her, he asked her to wear Valeria's.

Natalie would always fulfill Valeria’s requests.

Since Valeria was young, Natalie had always bought jewelry for her.She bought so much that she couldn't keep count.

Ashley suggested putting on a few of Valeria's jewelry, and Ronald did not object to it.

So when Valeria was not home, he asked Ashley to go over and choose some jewelry.

However, they could not find any jewelry in her room.

Could she have kept it in her safe? Ronald immediately went to open the safe.

Valeria never kept any secrets away from him as the password was her birthday.

Hence, he quickly opened the safe easily.

However, there were no traces of them.

Where could they be? While they were still guessing, voices echoed from the living room.

Was Valeria back? Ronald signaled Ashley to hide, while he hurried downstairs to see what was going on.

When Valeria walked into the living room, she saw Ronald walking down in fluster.

As she was still dizzy, she did not pay much attention to him and walked up staggeringly.

"Why did you drink so much?" Ronald asked reproachfully.

"can drink as much as I want" Valeria answered boldly.

"Why don't you sit here for a while as I make you some hangover soup? "

Instead of reprimanding her, he suggested cooking soup for her.Valeria would definitely find it weird that he was being so nice to her.

But since she was drunk and dizzy, she didn't think too much and said, "There's no need, I'm going up to rest"

As she was still speaking, she staggered her way upstairs and Ronald followed behind.

When she reached the corner of the stairs, she saw that he was still following her.She looked at him with a weird expression and said, "What are you doing?"

"I'm afraid you'll fall!" Ronald said as he reached out and helped her.

"I'm not drunk.Why would I fall?"

Valeria shrugged his hand off impatiently.She supported herself all the way up and when she pushed her door open, he followed her in.

Valeria turned to him and said, "Dad, what are you doing? I want to rest now!"

"Go on, you should rest!"

Ronald's gaze swept across the room, but he could not see Ashley anywhere.But since Valeria was drunk, she might not notice her, right?
