Chapter 571


    Owen''s gaze turned sinister. His subordinate looked puzzled. Then, he thought of something and said, "But Mr. Owen, Valerie is now with Matthew. If we offend them, we won''t be able to handle the consequences!"


    He added, "We suffered greatly thest two times. Luckily, we took care of the people involved. Otherwise, if they had talked, it would have led straight back to us."


    Matthew was as wealthy as a nation, and touching his people would mean certain death. They wouldn''t dare risk their lives.


    But Owen nced at him and said, "So what? He''s just an ordinary person. Can he defeat me? They have so many issues in their family. He can''t control everything!"


    He added, "Even if he eventually finds out it''s me, what can he do? Considering the Anderson family''s rtionship with them, he wouldn''t dare do anything to me. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Sophia!"


    Owen thought he was from the Anderson family, so he did not have to be afraid.


    The subordinate praised, "Brilliant!"


    Owenughed. "Enough. We must get to the bottom of this matter!"


    "I''ll do my best!" His subordinate immediately went to work.


    Owen stared at the fireworks outside the window and couldn''t help but sneer. He didn''t care about their rtionship with Sophia. He wouldn''t let anyone be a stumbling block on his path to sess!


    Meanwhile, Valerie was exhausted as soon as she returned home. At the Anderson family''s house, she had made decorations, helped with the Christmas tree, and apanied Chloe,pletely draining her energy.


    Moreover, she hadn''t rested after the filming. Unable to hold on any longer, Valerie copsed on the bed and fell asleep.


    Matthew was about to speak to her when he saw Valerie sleeping soundly and couldn''t help but smile. He gently lifted her onto the bed and covered her with a nket.


    Valerie turned over and hugged him in her sleep.


    Matthew patted her gently. Seeing she was sleeping soundly, he didn''t disturb her. He let her hold him.


    He wasn''t a festive person, but he began to look forward to it under Valerie''s influence. He inwardly wished her peace and safety for his Christmas


    gift.


    They slept until the morning, waking


    up only to realize it was Christmas Day and the film''s release day Valerie quickly got up and said, "Matthew, do you want to go to the movies? My treat!"


    She was nning to share the good news with Sophia.


    Seeing her about to run out barefoot, Matthew quickly picked her up and put socks on her. "Don''t catch a cold."


    He added, "Grandma bought movie tickets early in the morning. She also gave tickets to other family members to watch the movie and support you. She''s your fan!"


    Valerie felt embarrassed hearing this. It was her first time acting, and she didn''t expect to trouble her family to support her.


    She said, "I''m a bit nervous, not sure how well I acted. Do you think the Grant family will overthink it when they see me having intimate scenes with a male actor?"


    After all, the Grant family was


    powerful and well-known. The sight


    of her sping hands with a mate actor on the big screen, even if it was not a kiss, could lead their acquaintances to ask questions. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    She was afraid Matthew would feel awkward.


    Hearing her concerns, Matthew felt a bit annoyed. He had considered this before. Valerie brought it up, but he couldn''t do anything except take a deep breath.


    He said, "Isn''t it toote to worry about all these now? You didn''t even think about it while filming." Valerie couldn''t help butugh at his resentful tone. Her husband seemed to be jealous again.
