Chapter 182


    Watching Lexis leave, Hardy looked at Valeria and said, "Are you okay?"


    "I''m fine!" She forced a smile.


    Looking in the direction where Ashley was standing, she realized that Ashley had already disappeared.


    Instead of Ashley, a few more people took her ce, which included William, Paisley, Richard, Marcus,


    and some others.


    Without noticing it, everyone was crowded there.


    Abbie quickly came over and grabbed Valeria’s arm, "Hey, Valeria! What happened?"


    "Abbie, I''ll tell you about itter."


    Paisley also came over, "Bro, what happened?"


    "t''s nothing, just a little ident though"


    Hardy didn''t want to say more .


    After all, Lexis had just regarded Valeria as an escort and he was about to harass her.


    Hardy naturally wouldn''t tell them the real story.


    Since he wasn''t saying anything, Paisley didn''t push further into it, "Thank God, it''s all okay.Let ‘s go


    back to the main hall!"


    She was talking to William, but he didn''t reply.


    He took out a cigarette from his pocket and said, "You guys go first, I''ll smoke a cigarette before I go


    in!"


    His voice and expression were cold.


    Valeria bit her lip and secretly nced at him, but she immediately lowered her head.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    She didn''t know if William saw what happened or not, but William would stand up for her without


    hesitation in the past.


    Now, even when he knew that she was being bullied, he kept his cool.


    He must have moved on already.


    Valeria felt a dull pain in her heart as she was pulled away by Abbie.


    Paisley was disappointed that William wanted to smoke, but there was no reason to stop and wait for


    him, so she turned around to talk to Richard, Marcus, and Michael.


    Soon, Richard and Michael also left shortly after, leaving William and Marcus in the corridor.


    William nced at Marcus, "What happened just now?"


    "When I came out, I saw Lexis holding Miss Brown against her will.She pped him, and then he


    started speaking rudely to her, and that''s when Hardy came forward to stop him."


    William lit the cigarette in his hand and took a puff, "Why didn''t you stop it?"


    "Hardy came when I was about to stop him."


    "Lexis Burtos...""


    William paused for a moment and puffed out a smoke ring.


    A stern look shed across his face, "Let Bobby cripple his hands!"


    "Now?" Marcus asked.


    "Yes, right now! Immediately!"


    After saying this, William threw the cigarette butt away and left.


    Marcus picked up his cell phone and called Bobby, "William is very angry that Lexis harassed Miss


    Brown.He wants you to cripple his hands.Right now!"


    "Got it!"


    Bobby, who was in the parking lot, hung up the phone and nced at the security camera in the


    parking lot.


    He grabbed a steel bat and got out immediately after he opened the door.


    As he walked, he nonchntly smashed the cameras around him one after another.


    Lexis, with a swollen face and aching feet, was kicked out of the cruise ship by Hardy.


    He cursed loudly as he walked.


    "D*mn it, who was that sh*tty woman! What the hell! Bad things happen to me every time I see her!


    Thest time I was stripped naked, this time not only was I pped in the face, but also kicked out of


    the cruise ship.How am I suppose to meet people in the future?"


    "She better note my way next time! I''ll make her suffer if I see her again!"


    While he was cursing, a figure shed in front of him, and then he was punched in the face with a


    strong fist.


    He let out a scream of terrible pain after getting hit on the face.His vision went ck.


    The next second, someone took hold of his hands and broke them as if they were mere tree branches.


    Two cracks sounded loudly in his ears and both of Lexis’ arms dangled , the pain of the broken bones


    was too much for him to bear.


    He fainted and fell to the ground instantly.


    Bobby kicked Lexis, who was lying on the ground unconsciously before he left unhurriedly.


    Lexis’ scream echoed far.


    When the security guards on duty heard the voice, they immediately came over to check.


    When they saw him lying unconscious on the ground, they were shocked and hurriedly dialed 99 9.


    The ambnce arrived with a roar.


    Bobby leaned against the car and looked at all themotion with a sneer on his face.


    Valeria was dragged to the hall by Abbie and they found an unupied corner.


    Only then did she tell Abbie what had happened just now.


    "Ashley is really shameless and vicious.She looked so skimpy in her dress.The men here would


    definitely think she is an escort.She deliberately pretends to be friendly with you just to make them


    think you guys are partners."


    Abbie immediately understood, "That b*tch.How evil of her! I''ll get revenge for you."


    "No, I''ll deal with her myself! I''ve always wanted to settle things peacefully, but now I know that does


    not work at all.I''ll do to her what she did to me!"


    "You should''ve done this a long time ago!" Abbie agreed.


    "Wait a minute.Let''s see where that shameless girl is now.I''ll make a n after I find her.The two of


    them began to look for Ashley, but there was no sign of her in the hall.


    "That''s weird.Where did she hide? Did she escape?"


    "No, she came here to hook up with a rich man.How could she leave so easily? I guess she was a little


    scared when she saw Hardy beat Lexis.So she may have gone to hide first"


    Valeria guessed, "The cruise ship is so big and it has dozens of floors.There''s really no way to find her


    now’


    "Then let''s stop looking for her.She won''t give up so easily.No one with high status will pay attention to


    her tonight, she can only entertain the ignorant and ipetent crowd.If we pay attention to people


    with those characteristics, then we might be able to find her"


    As they were talking, William walked in from outside with his hands in his pockets.


    Instead of going to the crowded area, he went in their direction.


    "William is here.Aren''t you going to talk to him about the card? Hurry up settle it while no one else is


    here, Abbie reminded her.Abbie''s words reminded Valeria of the bank card.


    She immediately walked to William and said, "I have something to talk to you about."


    William squinted at her and said, "Is it about my card? Give it to me then: He reached out his hand, and


    Valeria felt a little embarrassed, "I want to return the card to you, but I can''t find it"


    "You can''t find it? Are you kidding me?"


    "I''m not joking.I''m telling the truth.I was drunkst night.When I got home, I didn''t know where I threw


    the card.Abbie and I searched all over for it, but we couldn''t find it"


    "So?" William asked casually.


    "Anyway, that card is yours, and I didn''t touch your money.Wouldn''t it be okay if you report it missing to


    the bank?"


    "Report it missing? Well! This is a good way, but Valeria, are you sure you haven''t touched the bank


    card?"


    "Of course I didn''t.Do you think I''m that shameless to use your money? William narrowed his eyes and


    sneered, "How noble of you to treat money like dirt! You''re worthy of my respec thent!"


    He took his phone out of his pocket and opened it, "So how do you exin this text message sent by


    the bank?"
