Katherine’s emotions hadpletely copsed, and she struggled desperately until Valerie hugged
her tightly, causing her to first freeze, then slowlye back to her senses.
“Valerie… I’ve never done anything wrong in my life, why am I so unlucky. Katherine’s tears flowed
uncontrobly.
Valerie’s heart ached as she patted Katherine’s back gently,forting her in a soft voice. “It’s not
your fault. The better the person, the more susceptible they are to being entangled in dirty matters.
We just need to get through this, kick away the dirt, and life will go on as usual”
Louis looked at his devastated sister, regretting not breaking Caleb’s legs. But it was useless to say
this now. The most important thing was to calm Katherine down.
Afterforting Katherine for a few moments, she seemed to be feeling a but better. Louis quickly
arranged for a car to pick her up and contacted a private doctor for Katherine. After sending
Katherine off in the car, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had survived a disaster.
As they left, Valerie watched the car depart with worried eyes, reluctant to retract her gaze.
Matthew’s low voice sounded. “Don’t worry, Katherine will be fine”
“Yeah, she’ll be fine… Valerie nodded. Having known Katherine for so long, she knew her vivacious
and generous personality well. What happened earlier was just a moment of impulse. Once the
impulse passed, she would be fine.
But Valerie couldn’t swallow her anger, just the thought of Caleb causing all of this made her
furious.
Coincidentally, Ashley returned at this moment. Upon hearing from the neighbors about what had
just happened, she became furious and started hurling abuses at Julian upon learning that he had
risked his life to save someone.
Ashley said. “Julian, you’re insane! Have you ever thought about what would happen to Aiden and
me if something happened to you! If you like ying hero so much, why don’t you buy some
ident insurance first? That way, if something happens to you, at least we won’t be left with

Julian could only exin, “The situation wasn’t that serious at that time. I reached out and pull

“You just reached out and pulled her back? What if something really happened? I bet you wouldn’t
even have a ce to regret it! And what’s the benefit of saving her! I heard that they are wealthy,
but did they even thank you properly? They just left. What have you gained from this? Why are you
so stupid?” Ashley said.
Ashley was arrogant and appeared to be concerned, but her words were full of disdain and
indifference.
Valerie couldn’t bear to listen any longer and interrupted, “Enough!”
Ashley was taken aback by Valerie’s interruption but quickly regained herposure and ineered,
hands on her hips. “Valerie, business. You’d better keep your mouth shut.”

“What! How dare you.”
Ashley’s eyes zed with anger, but Julian feared their conflict escting. He moved to intervene,

Just then, Julian came out Valerie, Ashley was a bit harsh, but she’s also worried about me. You
two should talk things out.”
Valerie was about to speak, but Ashley quickly softened her voice and begged, “Valerie, I know I
was wrong. Even if I’m a murderer. I won’t be sentenced to death right away. At least I’m Aiden’s
mother. Please give me another chance!”
After saying that, Ashley quickly acted as if nothing had happened and smiled at Julian, “It’s Okay,
honey. Valerie and I had a pleasant chat… Oh, Aiden is back!”
As they spoke, the boss next door picked up the children from school and brought Aiden hack.
Ashley quickly went to wee Aiden. Seeing this, Valerie could only calm down.
Ashley probably was scared, but knowing that Valerie would not bear to hurt Aiden, she simply
hugged Aiden tightly, iming that she really wanted to spend time with him today. She did not
even let him learn no with Matthew and insisted on taking a day off.
It was rare for Aiden to be so close to his mother. For a moment, he was ttered and asked Valerie
and Matthew for leave. Valerie had no choice but to agree. She was soft–hearted. Although she
caught Ashley and Caleb drinking in the same bar, if Ashley really learned her lesson, she had to
give Ashley a chance.
Thinking about this, Valerie’s expression softened a bit, but Ashley didn’t dare to continue facing
her. She took Aiden and retreated to the fruit
store.
Julian, unsure of what had happened, hesitated to ask Valerie, fearing discord between them.
“We’re

Don’t worry! Valerie sighed helplessly.

For Aiden’s sake, she had decided to let Ashley of this time, considering
However, she still intended to remind Julian, “Julian, you’ve argued with Ashley about money
management before, which isn’t conducive to family harmony and can scare Alden. It’s best to
discuss this issue with her again. At least, family expenses should be discussed openly between
spouses.”
Julian understood this, but he had always indulged Ashley over the years and had grown
ustomed to it. When Valerie mentioned it, he tried to ressure her instead.
Valerie felt helpless. However, he could not make things clear. In the midst of this stalemate,
Matthew suddenly interrupted them.
Julian, there are guests.
“Valerie said.
Indeed, Julian saw several customers entering the shop, realizing that Ashley couldn’t handle them
alone. He quickly went back to work.
As Julian left, Matthew grabbed Valerie’s hand and led her towards the car

Valerie was momentarily stunned by the question, feeling a strange emotion welling up inside her.
Too many things had happened today, leaving her overwhelmed and at a loss. But as she looked at
everyone, she realized that only he had been watching her all along
