Obsession With Mr. Right

Chapter 214 

"What?" Valeria questioned in disbelief.

"Jeez, there's no need to be so loud; William chuckled and he wondered if Valeria was jealous of Paisley.

Putting his thoughts into action, he asked, "Are you jealous?"

"Yes, I am! I'm telling you, William Howard, you can only like me.You’ re not allowed to like other women, do you understand?"

"Of course.I only like you, my little angel.Don't worry, I'll Keep my distance from other women."

"You'd better do so" Valeria grumbled.

"Remember, stay away from Ms.Anthony and don't speak with her unless it's for work.Am I clear "

"Yes, crystal clear.I'll always remember that I belong to Valeria Brown."

Valeria let out a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone although she still felt a little uneasy.She still felt the need to talk with him when he returned home from work later that night.

At the very least, William needed to know what Paisley had told her that day on the cruise.

Then, since she had nothing else to do, Valeria decided to put William and her dirty clothes to wash.

On her way to the laundry room, the maid spotted her and quickly came forth to say, "You can leave it to me, Miss Brown."

Valeria shook her head and insisted, "I can do it.I have nothing else to do.Plus, it'll be like an exercise for me.I'm trying to lose weight, anyway."

Upon hearing that, the maid nodded and didn't press on it anymore.

Valeria had only thrown the clothes into the washing machine when Danya, holding a laundry basket in her hands, entered the laundry room.It seemed like she was going to do laundry too.

Noticing that Valeria was in the laundry room, Danya's face distorted in disdain for a moment before concealing it.

Then, she pretended to be concerned and asked, "Miss Brown, are you here to do laundry as well?"

Valeria hummed as an agreement.She didn't feel good about Danya.

"I didn't think Miss Brown as someone who would do their own laundry.You know, I've been doing these works for Ms.Anthony since she was young."

Valeria glimpsed at Danya, wondering what her tricks were up in her sleeves.

Wasn't what happened at lunch enough to let her know her place? So, Valeria shrugged.

After she closed the washing machine's door, she focused on pouring the laundry detergent into the designated compartment.

Her indifference didn't bother Danya.

It also didn't stop her from beginning to compliment Paisley, "Ms.Anthony has been a bright child since young.She's smart and beautiful.Do you know she won a lot of awards and she went to the best university in the country? Everyone likes her and she's the role model of a daughter of the upper-class family."

Valeria scoffed, "You're exaggerating.Indeed, Ms.Anthony is a brilliant woman, but it wouldn't be to the point that no one dislikes her.I mean, for starters, I don't like her."

Danya was trying to lower Valeria's self confidence by comparing her with Paisley.

However, who would've thought that Valeria would be so unpredictable.

As a daughter of a wealthy family, Valeria shouldn't display her dissatisfaction even if she completely disagreed with Danya.

However, not only did Valeria showed it, but she also expressed it out loud.

At this point, Danya wasn't even sure if Valeria was senseless or she was just really uneducated as a lady.

Danya was about to speak before Valeria interrupted her.

"If Ms.Anthony is as extraordinary as you said, she must have a lot of suitors, right?"

"That's for sure! I can't even count how many outstanding young men are courting Ms.Anthony"

Danya answered with pride.

As she was about to continue with her praises, Valeria interrupted her once again. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Well, I feel better after hearing that" She seemed genuinely relieved, but what she said next was harsh and unpleasant to Danya’s ears.

"Frankly speaking, since William is so amiable and he looked so handsome, I'm a little worried that Ms.Anthony might not be able to resist the temptation.But after listening to what you've told me, she surely wouldn't want to ruin others’ relationships, don't you think so?"

Danya's face darkened, but she took a deep breath to control her temper.

"Of course she wouldn't.Miss Paisley would do no such thing!"

Hearing this made Valeria grinned.

"I thought so too.Ms.Anthony is a modest and accomplished young woman.I also don't think she'll do such a shameless act.But you should also know that there are many shameless women nowadays and they like to go after other people's men on purpose.You can't even tell who's the wolf in sheep's clothing sometimes.I have to learn this the hard way"

Danya's blood boiled at Valeria’s words.She thought she could get on Valeria's nerves by comparing her with Paisley.But she never expected herself to be triggered instead.

Then, she suddenly realized that Valeria's words had a deeper meaning to them.

Eyeing Valeria with caution, Danya was worried that Valeria had found out what Hayden and Paisley were planning.

If that was the case, she had to inform Paisley so that they could prepare in advance.

At the thought of it, Danya did not dwell any longer with Valeria.

After loading the laundry in a hurry, she went back to her room and sent a message to Paisley, "Miss, Valeria seems to have picked up on our plan.I spoke with her earlier, and she was acting quite weirdly"

"I told her that Sir Hayden is fond of me.Of course she'll be on her guard," Paisley replied.

"I see, How are you doing in the company, Miss? How is Sir William treating you?" Paisley's reply was quick.

"I'm fine.William is very chivalrous."

"I'm relieved to hear that, Miss.Anyway, you have to beware of Valeria.I've never seen any decent woman who is as shameless as she is."

"Don't mind her.She won't be happy for long.I'm going outstation with William today, so we won't be going home later.Let's see what Valeria can do about that."

Danya was exhilarated to hear that from Paisley.

"Really? Miss, then you must seize the opportunity! This is a good chance to make Valeria realize that she's not worthy of William."

On the other hand, Valeria only knew about the business trip in the evening.

William called, "Valeria, I'm not going home tonight.You should stay at home and be good, okay? I'll try to come back tomorrow."

Valeria was a little worried to hear William say so, and she asked, "Did something tricky come up at the company?"

"Don't worry, it's not something that I can't handle.It's just that I can't come home to you tonight.I promise I'll make it up to you when I come back."

In the evening, Valeria had dinner together with Danya and the other employees in the villa.

After dinner, she went for a short walk around the garden.

When she returned to the villa's living room, Danya was rattling about how perfect Paisley was with the employees.

Coming from a renowned family, Paisley had taken part in many business negotiations, and all were successful.

However, Valeria only felt her stomach turn when she heard Paisley's achievement.It was probably because she already knew Paisley's true colors.

Valeria went straight back to her bedroom with her phone.

Right as she closed the door behind her, Abbie called.

There was nothing they couldn't tell each other.

So, Valeria naturally told Abbie about Paisley, who had also come to Sydney.

She also told Abbie about Paisley's encounter with a robbery and having no place to stay.

Abbie asked in surprise, "Are you saying that Paisley is living with the both of you now?"

"Yes.And that butler of hers was throwing knives at me all day! I'm furious!"

Valeria added and she also told Abbie about their dispute at the laundry room earlier that day.

"I agree with you, Valeria.Paisley is definitely very suspicious.And I have reasons to believe that she's planning something that involves seducing William.So, you'd better watch out"

Valeria yelped, "You think so too? Then what should I do now? William just called and told me that he and Paisley are going outstation for business and that they won't come home tonight."

Abbie immediately comforted her, "Don't worry too much.I don't think she'll act recklessly so fast.After all, she's from a distinguished family.Paisley is not as reckless as Ashley."

"I'm still worried.I'm going to have a video call with William later to see what's going on"

"Well, you keep an eye on your beloved William.By the way, I saw your dad and his assistant in front of a test center today.It was unusual, so I went and asked about it.They said your dad was going for a paternity test.
