Marrying Chapter 769


    Chapter 769


    Owen red at Valerie in anger. Valerie smiled and said, “Mr. Anderson, you don’t have much time.


    Think it over. If the ship returns and the reporters swarm in. I can’t guarantee that this dinghy won’t


    be their next target. Just imagine if you were exposed–how would that affect the Anderson


    family’s business?”


    Owen, distressed and desperate, began to y the family card. “Valerie, can you remember how


    much Mrs. Anderson cared for you? How could you do this to me? Back then, she adored you, and


    Chloe considered you like a daughter. And now, you’re betraying me like this!


    “Don’t you have any conscience? Remember how many gifts Mrs. Anderson gave you after you had


    your child? I’m also your elder!” Owen said, his eyes reddening as he spoke.


    Valerie looked down at him with disdain. “Mr. Anderson, a debt of gratitude is one thing, and your


    behavior is another. I remember how well Mrs. Anderson treated me, but that doesn’t mean I owe


    you anything. Our families rtionship was maintained by her, not by you. So save the pretense for


    someone else!”


    Owen’s face turned grim at Valerie’s words. He couldn’t believe she was being so brazenly


    disrespectful in front of outsiders. “Valerie, you really won’t let this go, will you? Everyone knows


    about the chaos in Wakanda. You’re driving me to the edge!” he shouted.


    Owen feigned innocence, but Valerie merely ancered. She said, ‘Cut the act, let’s be


    straightforward. I’m just giving you a heads–up–your time is running out. You’ve got five minutes to


    decide. After that. I’ll have the ship return. Then you can figure out how to exin things to


    every


    “I think Tyrell Wilkins here will also know how to exin things Tyrell, trembling at the side,


    nervously nced at Valerie. He knew he couldn’t afford to offend either of these powerful families.


    His face grew pale as he awaited the oue, fully aware that the situation was far beyond his


    control.


    Valerie smiled and said, “Don’t worry, the video is in my hands. If you don’t cooperate, I’ll make


    sure you’re ruined! Mr. Anderson, you should consider whether you can afford to cross me.” Her


    words were meant not only for Owen but also to warn Tyrell, making it clear that opposing her could


    lead to dire consequences. Tyrell, trembling, remained silent, clearly intimidated by her threat.


    Owen’s face flushed with anger as he shouted, “Valerie Warren, how dare you!”


    “Four minutes,” she said


    Valerie intentionally avoided looking at Owen, simply keeping track of the countdown Owen, feeling


    deted as the seconds ticked by, watched helplessly as the tension in the room grew, With the


    sound of reporters outside growing louder, Owen finally gave in. “Valerie Warren, you win this time!”


    Valerie smiled and said. “Mr. Anderson, please go ahead!”


    Owen, begrudgingly, took out his phone and instructed his subordinates. “Send a message to


    Wakanda and search for Matthew Grant!”


    His subordinates were taken aback. “Mr. Anderson, you want us to search for Matthew Grant? I


    thought we were.


    Owen interrupted, “Shut up! Just go and find him as I said! Let me know immediately if you get any


    information! After hanging up the phone, Owen looked at Valerie and said. “Is this enough? I’ve


    already sent people to look for him. Now delete the video and let them start the boatt


    Valerie shook her head instead. “No”


    Owen, enraged, shouted, “Valerie Warren, don’t push it! I’ve done everything you asked, and now


    you’re going back on your word!” At that moment, his anger red to the point where he nearly


    charged at her, ready to risk everything for a showdown


    Valeric chuckled and said, “Over the line? Mr. Anderson, it’s not the first time you’ve gone bark on


    your word. I don’t trust you at all! Do you think a phone call is enough to make me let you go? Do


    you take me for a child?”


    Then what do you want!” Owen said.


    “I need you to go to Wakanda in person. If you don’t, I’ll make this video public. Tyrell Wilkins, you


    can just call the police andin, and tu handle everything from there, Valerie said. No one in


    the Anderson family could have anticipated that Owen would be the kind of person to get entangled


    in such a situation.


    “Mr. Anderson, you’d better think this through. The Anderson family is a major yer in Kranson


    City, and many people are watching you. If something happens, plenty of people will be ready to


    take advantage of it. As for me, I don’t need to worry–Noria Group isrge and wealthy enough for


    me to handle this. The real questioni is whether you can endure it”


    Valerie scoffed and continued, “As your age, still trying to mess with someone pure and innocent?


    The public outcry will be intense, and you won’t even have a chance to defend yourself”


    Hearing her words, Owen’s anger reached its peak. He was furious that he had fallen into the trap


    set by Valerie, a mere young woman. He would have dealt with her first if he had known this would


    happen. Despite his rage, he found himself helpless. Valerie was indeed a cunning adversary,


    outwitting himpletely.

    Valerie raised an eyebrow and nced at her watch. Seeing her demeanor, Owen realized she was


    not just making idle threats. He gritted his teeth in frustration, fully aware she was capable and


    willing to follow through on her demands.


    “Fine, I’ll go! But with the conflict in Wakanda, all flights there are grounded, and I’m powerless to


    help right now!”


    Owen tried to avoid it again but was interrupted by Valerie, “Stop with the excuses, Mr. Anderson.


    Don’t you have a private jet? If not, we can arrange one for you. Rest assured, if you want to get


    there. I have a hundred ways to make it happen. You won’t have to worry about not getting there”


    Owen red at Valerie, his teeth clenched in anger. He was seething with frustration, regretting that


    he hadn’t dealt with her previously. Now, she had him cornered in a way he had never experienced.


    After years of dominating the business world, he had never faced such humiliation and threat.


    Owen’s eyes were red with fury, but Valerie merely smiled at him. “Don’t look at me like that, Mr.


    Anderson. I might do something unpleasant if you keep it up. In the end, it’ll be you who suffers

    Owen’s face turned ashen immediately hearing this, realizing he had no choice, Valerie was


    someone who not only spoke her mind but also followed through, and she was known for holding


    grudges. Resignedly, he said, “Alright, you win I give in.”


    Tyrell standing aside, finally understood what had transpired. He was just a minor actor with no


    knowledge of the intrigues of high society, bur hearing this scene unfold made him quite uneasy.


    Valerie turned to him and said, “Don’t worry, you won’t lose any resources you’re supposed to get.


    However, please keep today’s events to yourself?


    Tyrell quickly nodded and promised. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Grant 1 assure you I won’t say a word!”
