?Chapter 228


    Valerie no longer wished to dwell on the memories of her childhood, sometimes even doubting whether she truly belonged to them. They had pushed her to the brink for the sake of money.


    Could familial bonds be that fragile?


    Valerie watched from a distance as Isabel ndered her, dialing the number ingrained in her memory.


    Ruth, on the other side, saw her phone ring and immediately chuckled. "Valerie can''t wait any longer. She''s calling again!"


    Just as Ruth was about to answer, rk stopped her. "Don''t pick it up. If you answer now, she''ll be all sweet talk, probably begging you to step in. By that time, everything we''ve done will be in vain! Ignore her. That way, she won''t dare to be so arrogant in the future. If you don''t answer the call now, Valerie will definitely be anxious. Then we can take the opportunity to make demands, and she''ll surely agree!"


    "But... do you think she might get desperate because of us? What if she really does something..."


    "Ruth, can''t you say something auspicious? You are her mother, and I am her uncle, what can she do to us?"


    rk was full of disdain, even chuckling as he approached Ruth and lowered his voice. "Besides, the inte is buzzing with her gossip. She''s still counting on us to help her. All we need to do now is to wait and see. Who knows when she wille to us? As long as we grasp this point, we have nothing to fear!"


    rk was extremely proud, eager to dete Valerie''s spirit, hoping she would beg for mercy on her knees.


    Ruth was still unaware that Valerie had visited the vige, and after pondering rk''s words, she waspletely persuaded by him, directly ignoring Valerie''s call.


    On Valerie''s side, she took a deep breath, her heart growing cold bit by bit. After all, Ruth was the mother who had raised her for so many years. Valerie always hated to suspect her mother with malice. But since she didn''t answer the phone, Valerie didn''t insist. It was not the first time after all.


    Next, Valerie would find a way to gradually smooth things over. At least she must not let her own affairs affect Matthew, Sophia, and Nn.


    "Let''s go!" Valerie was about to get into the car with Katherine, but what she never expected was that someone suddenly noticed them and stared at this side for a while.


    "Look! Isn''t that Valerie?"


    "It''s really her. She thinks wearing a hat and sunsses will make us unrecognizable. Valerie, don''t you dare leave!"


    At the sound of the voice, Valerie was startled and quickly left with Katherine, clutching the box, as the crowd chased after them.


    Thud!


    Valerie felt a heavy blow on her head. She reached up and touched it, only to feel the slimy mess that made her nauseous. It was a rotten egg?


    Someone had thrown an egg at her and even vegetables.


    "Valerie, isn''t that too much?"


    "Don''t look back! Get in the car quickly!"


    Valerie hurriedly pulled Katherine into the car. Afraid that Katherine would panic, she got into the driver''s seat and had Katherine in the passenger seat to start the car at the fastest speed.


    But they were half a beat too slow. The troublemakers had already surrounded the car.


    "Don''t go! Get out of the car! You hussy!"


    "You don''t appreciate what you have and bully your colleagues! Someone like you should die."


    "Come out and say a few words to theizens."


    "Unscrupulous for the sake of performance, Valerie,e out!" Some of the bolder ones pounded on her car fiercely.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Valerie revved the engine with a roar, scaring the inte celebrities in front of her and causing them to scatter.


    Some of the bolder ones tried to block her, but the vigers couldn''t stand it anymore and took out their hoes to help. Terry shouted, "What are you doing? Get out of here quickly, or we''ll call the police!"


    All the vigers came out, and the crowd was intimidated by their presence. Valerie nodded at Terry before stepping on the gas and speeding away.


    As soon as the two left, Cutie Pie and the crew quickly got into the car and chased after them.


    This live broadcast attracted the attention of the wholework, and Katherine was very anxious. "Valerie, someone is still chasing us!"


    Valerie sneered, feeling very upset, but relying on her familiarity with the terrain, she quickly shook them off. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, she received a call from Ruth.


    They had also seen the live broadcast and learned that Valerie had gone to the vige. Ruth cursed, "You little brat, even now, you dare to go to the vige and disgrace us! You must sell the house and give me the money. In this way, I can let bygones be bygones, or else you''ll have a hard time!"
