Chapter 218


    Chapter 218


    In the bedroom, after Valerie washed up, she turned on her phone.


    Previously, when she was at home and suddenly saw so many people attacking and cursing her


    online, she almost couldn’t hold back her emotions and chose to turn off her phone.


    ???????????


    As soon as she turned on her phone, she received a lot of messages. Most of them were from her


    julian and Katherine. Just as she was about to call her Julian back, Julian called again.


    She said. “Hey, Julian.”


    Julian called her all night but could not contact her. He was so anxious that he quickly asked when


    he heard her voice, Valerie, where are you now? Are you alright?“.


    “Julian, don’t worry. I’m fine. When Julian heard her calm tone, he heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s


    good, that’s good Valerie, I saw the news. This matter has blown up. Everyone in Kranson City


    knows about it. Why didn’t you call me! If I were there, I would definitely have stopped Melinda and


    rk!”


    “It happened too suddenly at that time. I didn’t think too much about it. Besides, Juluan… Valerie


    took a deep breath and said slowly. “rk and Melinda have obviously nned this for a long time.


    They areing for me. Even if you were there, you couldn’t stop them.”


    After calming down and thinking about it, Julian felt that no one would carry scissors with them.


    Melinda took out the scissors at the right time to cause amotion in Kranson City so that


    everyone could attack Valerie. Moreover, thinking about it more deeply, there was a high chance


    that this matter had been tacitly approved by Ruth. That was why they dared to do this.


    Julian could not deny it. His brows were tightly knitted. “How could they treat you like this! This is


    too much… Valerie, from today onwards. I will treat it as if I don’t have rtives like them. Don’t


    worry, 1 will think of a way to help you!”


    Valerie was immediately shocked. No matter how overboard rk and Melinda were, they were


    only targeting her and not Julian. She did not expect Julian to disown rk and Melinda for her.


    Julian said, “Valerie, people have to have the ability to distinguish right from wrong As for Mom,


    there’s nothing we can do to her since she is our mother. I can only try my best to change her mind.


    But I won’t tolerate other rtives at all!”


    Valerie was touched and heartbroken when she heard that Julian, thank you”


    Julian said, “Silly girl, there’s no need to be polite with me. I know best what you’ve experienced in


    the past. I’ll think of a way to rify it for you


    Valerie interrupted him. “Julian, I feel like there’s a supporter behind rk and Melinda. Tonight is


    just the beginning. I think they will have other ways to target me. Since that’s the case, I’m not


    afraid of them I’ll think of a way to respond to them one by one. If you help me, I will appear guilty,


    so I do it myself. You’re in charge of helping me.”


    Julian was stunned for a moment. He thought about it and realized that it made sense. “Alright, as


    long as you need anything, just let me know!”


    “Well, that’s all for now. I’ll call Katherine back.” Valerie was about to hang up when a voice came


    from the other end of the line. “Valerie, Fin here…


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Valerie thought She had misheard.


    Julian said, “There’s no need. Your friend Katherine is with me. She must have heard about you and


    couldn’t get through to you. She thought that you were here, so she came to my fruit shop. I’m


    bringing her to your house now. Fortunately, I received your call halfway Wait, I’ll give her the


    phone…”


    After a while, Katherine’s voice came through the phone. Katherine seemed to have a lot to say, but


    She was afraid that She would make Valerie ufortable if She said too much. In the end, She


    gritted her teeth with red eyes and said, “Valerie, you must tell us if you need anything”


    Valerie had already heard a few people say this to her tonight. Her heart felt wa


    She thought, “It turns out that even if I am abandoned by everyone, I still have good friends and


    elders who will feel sorry for her…


    The two of them chatted for a while. After confirming that Valerie was safe, Katherine hung up the


    phone with relief. Just as she was about to return the phone to Julian, Julian handed her a tissue.


    Katherine was stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize that tears had unknowingly flowed


    from the corners of her eyes. She quickly took the tie and wiped it.


    Julian did not mock her at all. Instead, he said, “It’s great for Valerie to have a friend like you who


    cares about her.”


    When the two of them came out, Julian rode a scooter to avoid traffic. Since Valerie was not at


    home, there was no need to go to Slotmond Estate. Julian handed the helmet hat to Katherine.


    “Miss Santos, shall we go back?


    Katherine took the hard hat and put it on Julian handed her a nket. “It might not be very clean,


    but it’s a little cold today. It’s better for you to hold this to block the wind than to catch a cold.


    1/2


    Katherine was puzzled. “What about you?“.


    Julian smiled, “I am strong. It’s fine for me to get some wind”


    Even so, the wind was still very cold in the middle of winter. Even Katherine, who was hugging the


    nket to block the wind, felt cold, let alone Julian, whose cheeks were bruised from the wind.


    However, he did not even frown.


    Katherine knew very well that Julian had given her the nket to shield her from the wind and also


    to prevent others from gowiping about them. With the nket between the two of them, she would


    not be too embarrassed. It seemed that although Julian looked dull and quiet, he was actually very


    meticulous,


    Soon, she returned to the fruit shop. Katherine’s car was parked outside the shop Julian stopped


    her and wanted to offer her two boxes of fruits. She said. “Julian, there’s no need


    “You love to take them. I wish you the best for the rest of your days” Julian smiled and walked into


    the shop. Katherine was even more embarrassed. She knew that Julian still remembered that she


    had wanted to jump off a buildingst time. So this was his way of wanting to cheer her on.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as Julian entered the fruit shop, Ashley frowned and rushed up to him. She


    red at Julian and said, “Who is that woman? I felt that something was wrong when I came to


    check on the shop in the middle of the night. Julian, how dare you find a prostitute? You are so


    shameless. Don’t forget that you have a child”
