    “Oh? Valerie, you’re married?” Marcus took off his sunsses in surprise and sized Valerie up.


    Ashley made sarcastic remarks at the side. That’s right. She went out to work and got married. It’s


    fine if she knows him well, but he is only a poor driver. Although he has a house, I don’t know when


    he’ll finishoving the mortgage.”


    “No way, Valerie. You’re so pretty and smart. I did’t expect you to be so muddle- headed in


    important matters in your life… Marcus looked regretful, but he was mocking Valerie.


    After Julian and Ashley were married, Marcus also came to Kranson City to develop. When he saw


    that Valerie was beautiful, he even tried to pursue her. Now that he saw that Valerie was in dire


    straits, he felt like he had vented his anger.


    Marcus had beaten his ssmate in the head before he even finished high school. That was why he


    had dropped out of school. He had not achieved anything and was just a hooligan.


    Although Ruth did not like Valerie, she looked down on Marcus even more. She still hoped to sell


    Valerie for a good price. No matter what, she could not let a hooligan like Marcus ruin Valerie. She


    was so angry that she beat Marcus up and told him to stay far away from Valerie.


    Nobody would have thought that Marcus would be so rich after only a few years. Ashley said


    he had earned nearly 100 thousand dors in the first half of th year alone. Ruth was filled with


    regret when she looked at the Mercedes. However it was toote to talk about this now. Ruth held


    the gold vase and thought that Marcus was quite sensible and probably did not bear any grudges


    about what happened back then. She made up her mind to curry favor with Marcus.


    Valerie listened to their conversation, especially when Marcus mocked her. She could not be


    bothered to get angry and only felt that it was noisy.


    At this moment, Julian came over to them. He said that since most people had arrived, they could


    enter the event hall and sit down.


    Everyone chatted andughed as they walked in. Valerie walked to Julian’s side ar

    said, “Julian, if there’s something you need help with, let me know.”


    “I’ve already arranged everything. It’s fine. Co sit,” Jo in said.


    “Sure.” Valerie nodded.

    Valerie found a corner and asked for a ss of water. She took small sips and did not care about


    themotion around her. However, even if she did not speak, she stood out like a sore thumb.


    The aunts felt it was a pity and could not help but persuade her.


    “Valerie, you’re so beautiful. Why did you have to marry a driver?” one of them said.


    “Valerie, although you are married to that driver, you didn’t hold a wedding after all. If you divorce


    himter, no one in our hometown will know. It’s not toote for you to find someone better,”


    another remarked.


    A third voice added, “That’s right. I heard from your sister–inw the driver can’t even take out the


    betrothal gift and wants you to pay the mortgage. He probably doesn’t earn much a month. How are


    you going to live like this…”


    Valerie slowly put down the ss and looked up at her rtives. She said calmly, “Don’t worry


    about me. My husband is a good person, and I don’t have to pay the mortgage. He gives me living


    expenses every month and helps me with the housework, so I don’t n to get a divorce.


    Valerie sighed inwardly, telling herself to hang in there.

    Everyone looked at each other and sighed. They thought to themselves that the driver had to have


    bewitched Valerie to make Valerie so stubborn.


    Valerie did not exin further. She knew that although her rtives were busybodies, they were


    concerned about her. However, they did not know who Matthew was, so it was normal for them not


    to believe her. The hardest thing in the world was to convince others. She did not intend to waste


    her effort. They would find out eventually.


    Ashley looked at Valerie’s calm expression and secretly cursed Valerie for being so good at


    pretending. Valerie was probably furious but still pretended to be calm. Ashley thought about how


    she had embarrassed herself during thest meal. No

    matter what, she had to tear off Valerie’s fakenness publicly. She came up with an idea and quickly


    walked to Julian’s side.


    “Hubby, my phone is out of battery. Lend me your phone. I have to call Aiden’s teacher,” Ashley


    said.


    As expected, Julian did not suspect anything when it came to Aiden. He immediately dug into his


    pocket and gave Ashley his phone. Ashley quickly foun a stairwell and hid inside. Then, she


    searched Julian’s contact list and found Matthew’s number.


    Ashley called without hesitation.
