Obsession With Mr. Right

Chapter 178 

Julie and her daughter, Ashley, waited happily for the good news that they would become billionaires.However, when no one responded in two hours, Ashley couldn't sit still anymore.

"Mom, why have there been no updates in two hours? Does the other party want to keep the money for themselves?"

"Uhm...Maybe not?"

With such a large amount of money, Julie wasn't so sure.

"I'll call to ask then."

She immediately called the other side, "Have you transferred the money already?"

"No, it's a large sum, so the bank has to monitor it for twenty-four hours "How could this happen? Is there something wrong?" she asked worriedly.

"I don't think so.It's a huge amount of money, plus the bank's interception review is being cleared, but it's hard to say.Anyway, I have a backup plan.Even if something goes wrong, it can't be traced back tous: Hearing what the other party had said, Julie let out a sigh of relief, but she was no longer as excited as she was just now.

After all, anything could happen in twenty- four hours.

Julie yawned and said, "Go to sleep, then.We'll see what happens tomorrow.Valeria fell into a deep sleep.It was not until nine o'clock the next morning that she was awakened by Abbie's phone call.

"Valeria, hurry up and wake up! Let's buy clothes and get our hair done to prepare for the cruise party tonight" Valeria sat up lazily with a headache.

"Wait for me...I'm still in bed though”

"Alright, you get ready first.I'll come and pick you up right now."

After hanging up, Valeria went to wash up.

She had drunk too much alcohol last night, so she didn't remember how she got back.

The room looked more chaotic than before, but she probably the one who caused the mess herself.She didn't think much about it.

After washing up, she put on a new set of clothes and some light makeup.

Abbie reached her house and honked outside to declare her arrival.

Valeria hurried downstairs with her bag and got into Abbie's car, and Abbie casually handed her a box of yogurt.

She took it and began to drink, "I'm having such a bad headache!"

"You are finding your own trouble by drinking so much alcohol.For aman like that, is it worth it?"

Abbie rolled her eyes.

"I know...but I just can't control myself? Valeria took a sip of yogurt and sighed heavily at the thought of William.

"Well, let's not talk about that b*stard anymore.Let him and Ms.Anthony be happy.I don't believe that Paisley will really stay with him for that long.After all, he is useless, ignorant, and incompetent.Paisley is no ordinary person.She might've been interested in his looks in the heat of the moment, but she'll eventually get tired of him.I can't wait to see his miserable face when he gets abandoned by her!"

Valeria frowned.

So far, she had not heard of William being abandoned by anyone.

With his good looks and his way with words, what kind of woman would not fall for him...

Paisley's behavior last night clearly showed that she was extremely attracted to William.

It was unlikely that she would abandon him by her own choice.

Seeing her frown, Abbie rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go eat some good food first and then buy things.Just saying, I'm broke right now”

"I know, I have money with me.You can buy whatever you want later!"

The two of them went to an Authentic Restaurant and ordered a table full of Asian food.Valeria was so hungry that she quickly gobbled down the food even with Abbie around.

After the meal, Valeria paid for the bill and left.

As she walked to the car , she received a call from William.It was the first time that he had called her after they broke up.

Stunned, Valeria answered the phone immediately and said, "Hello!"

"Didn't you want to return my card to me? I'm free now, give me a location and we'll meet up!"

Valeria was a little confused by his words.

Didn't he repeatedly refuse her request? Why did he suddenly change his mind? However, it was a good thing for him to do that.

She looked at Abbie and said in a low voice, "It's William.He wants me to return his card to him now”

"See, I knew that he wasn't all that great.Wasn't the card a breakup compensation? Why is he asking you to return it now? How disgusting .What a stingy man!"

"He didn't ask me to return it.I wanted to return it to him myself.I called him again last night; Valeria didn't feel like William was a stingy man.

"Well, even if he is not a stingy man, why did he ignore you so many times when you were looking for him? Yet now, he wants you to return the card.Don't get yourself wrapped around his finger.Tell him you're not free now because you're about to go shopping.If he wants the card, give it to him at night during the party"

Abbie's words made sense to Valeria, so she told him, "I don't have time now.I'll give it to you tonight."

A cold smile appeared on William's face as he hung up. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Marcus, who was next to him, asked, "Does Miss Brown not know that she doesn't have the card anymore?"

"What a stupid woman! How foolish can she be?" William shook his head.

She didn't even know that one billion dollar card was gone.

What was on her mind? How could she be so ignorant? He was so speechless with her that he didn't have the strength to complain.

He just asked Marcus, "Have you found the person who transferred the money?"

"Yes, and the police have already arrested the suspect.There are a total of three people who are in interrogation.I believe there will be an answer soon."

"Let them do their thing.It seems that they are not ordinary people since they found a way to transfer money abroad.And I want to find out how that silly woman's card ends up with them.This is very important."

Marcus agreed and left.

William stroked his chin with a sinister smile and his legs crossed.He wanted to see what card Valeria was going to give him tonight.

Valeria and Abbie went to the shopping mall and binge shopped.

When it was almost time, they returned home.

Abbie had initially planned to change her hairstyle for the party, but there was not enough time for that.

Valeria changed into a new dress and tied her hair up into a bun, while Abbie did the make-up for her.

Abbie complained about the fact that Valeria’s makeup was too light, so she specially put on a heavier yet delicate makeup look for her.

After she finished the makeup, Abbie walked around her a few times, "You're so beautiful! Wow, I think you will stun everyone tonight, and William will definitely regret everything he's done to you!"

"I call bull.The person who will stun everyone tonight is Paisley.As for William, he's a playboy.He likes anyone he sees, though.What will he regret when he has Paisley with him now?"

Hardy's call came in as she spoke, "Are you ready, Valeria? I'm coming to pick you up once you've done"

"There's no need.I'm going with Abbie” Valeria refused.

"It doesn't matter.I'll come to pick you and Abbie up since I'm on the way” Hardy hung up the phone without any explanation.

Hearing that Hardy wanted to pick them up, Abbie was a little confused .

"How can he have time to pick us up? Does Paisley not want him to pick her up? Or did William pick Paisley up already?"

After William was mentioned, Valeria remembered that she had to return his card to him.

She searched her bag for his card, but she couldn't find it.

There was no trace of the bank card in her bag.

She wondered where it went.She remembered clearly that she had left the bank card in her purse.How was it not there anymore?
