Chapter 194


    If she framed Valeria for being the one behind Lexis’ beating, then simple- minded people like Charlotte


    would probably go to her for revenge.If the two of them got into a fight, Charlotte would definitely win


    because of her muscr build.


    Hardy would definitely do something about Charlotte if Valeria was beaten up by her.


    "This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone!"


    When she saw that she had hung up the phone, Ashley immediately walked over and greeted, "Hello,


    Miss Burtos!"


    Last night, when Charlotte saw Ashley was flirting with the rich man she was interested in, she


    drunkenly dumped alcohol all over her.


    Now that she was sober and Ashley had changed her clothes, she didn''t recognize Ashley at all.


    "Who are you?"


    "Miss Burtos, I''m here to tell you something” Ashley walked over and said, "There was a conflict


    between your brother and someone elsest night.I was right next to them when it happened."


    "What? So you know who beat my brother? You saw it with your own eyes?"


    "Yes, I saw your brother arguing with someone and he was pped in the face’


    "Who did it? If you tell me who it is, I''ll go look for them right away!"


    Her voice was filled with anger.


    "Valeria Brown! I suspect that it was her who nned his attack; Ashley lowered her voice.


    "At that time, Lexis tried to talk to her because he was attracted to her looks.However, there must be


    something wrong with Valeria, she used him of harassing her, and then she pped him in the face!


    Hardy appeared after that and he pped him too.I was listening at the side and I heard her say that


    she wouldn''t let this go so easily.I''m pretty sure she was behind all of this.


    "D*mn it! Where is she?"


    Charlotte grumbled angrily, "I''ll go look for her right now.I''m going to beat her up!"


    "Well, Miss Burton, you should think twice about this.After all, there is no evidence behind this


    assumption..."


    Seeing that she sessfully triggered Charlotte''s anger, Ashley tried to manipte her.


    "Stop this nonsense.Tell me where Valeria is.I''ll go and ask her right away!"


    "I think I saw her on the deck just now..."


    Before Ashley could finish her words, Charlotte rushed to the deck.


    Seeing her impatient manner, Ashley sneered.


    "A fool who doesn''t know she''s being used! We''ll have some drama to watchter!"


    Valeria nced down inadvertently while she was on the deck and saw William.


    William, who was about to go up the stairs, looked fresh and handsome after he had changed into a


    new set of clothes.He obviously looked like he came back to the cruise ship in a rush.


    Why did he leave in the first ce? And who was the man next to him? While Valeria was making up


    guesses, she saw Paisley and Hardy going up to him.


    The two of them shook hands with the man next to William.


    Paisley subconsciously stood next to William and spoke to him with a smile on her face.

    William must have been in a good mood as he listened to her with a gentle smile.


    Valeria felt a little upset when she saw this scene, so she turned around and left.


    When she was in the corridor, a woman in high heels with a fierce look on her face came over angrily,


    "You''re Valeria?"


    Valeria looked at her.


    The woman had the expression of a murderer.


    Valeria nodded, "Yes, I am.You are?"


    "Let me ask you, how did my brother provoke you? Why did you have to do that to him?"


    The woman pointed angrily at her.Valeria reached out and pushed away from the hand that was


    pointing at her, "Miss, can you give me more context? Who is your brother, and who are you?"


    "I''m Charlotte Burtos, and my brother is Lexis Burtos."


    "Lexis? I''ve never heard of such a person.I think you got the wrong person” Valeria looked innocent.


    "Stop pretending.You dare say nothing happened between you and my brotherst night?"


    Charlotte stomped her feet in anger, thinking that Valeria was just pretending to be confused.


    "My brother was just trying to talk to youst night.How can you hurt him in such a vicious way and


    make him disabled? Valeria, you are too much.After hearing what she said, Valeria finally realized who


    she was.The woman was Lexis’ sister, the guy who harassed herst night.


    She looked at her and said, "Miss Burton, do you have any evidence to prove that I was behind this?"


    She had no evidence at all as she came here rashly after listening to Ashley.She was speechless after


    being asked that question.She had no evidence, but she was sure that Valeria was the one behind all


    of it, "My brother didn''t offend anyone else except you yesterday.Who else would it be if it weren''t you?"


    Valeria did not know how to react to her reasoning.


    She patiently said, * Miss Burton, your brother''s business has nothing to do with me.Please be


    reasonable"


    "Reasonable? I''m not done with you yet!" Said Charlotte as she reached out to grab her.


    Before she could even touch Valeria, Abbie, who had just returned from changing her clothes, came up


    and stopped her.


    "What are you doing?"


    "My brother''s hands were broken by someonest night.I''m sure it was Valeria who nned it, so I''m


    questioning her right now"


    Charlotte didn''t dare to act presumptuously upon seeing Abbie.


    "Do you have proof that Valeria was behind it?" Abbie asked.


    "No, but..."


    "You''re making trouble without evidence?"


    Abbie interrupted her, "What strange times we live in! I guess anything can happen without


    reasoning.Let''s go, Valeria!"


    After speaking, Abbie pulled Valeria away.


    Charlotte wanted to stop them, but Abbie turned around and red at her fiercely, "Get lost before I


    beat you up for using her"


    Charlotte knew of Abbie''s identity.


    B City was her turf, so she was basically invincible there.


    Resentfully, Charlotte watched them leave.


    Ashley was hiding in the corner to watch the situation.


    Charlotte was tall, strong, and fierce, so she thought that she would attack Valeria the moment she saw


    her.


    Who would have thought that Charlotte would be so timid after seeing Abbie? Ashley was disappointed


    at the oue.


    She came out from hiding and asked, "Miss Burton, are you okay?"


    Charlotte was embarrassed.


    She was filled with anger as she cursed angrily, "It''s all Abbie''s fault! Let''s just wait and see...I refuse to


    believe that Abbie will always protect her.We''ll see how I''ll deal with her when we''re alone!"


    A hint of amusement shed across Ashley''s eyes when she heard her.


    She said, "They''re going to have a barbequeter.Why don''t you think of a n when you are out at


    the sea?"


    "You''re right.I''ll think of a way to deal with her then! Thank you for reminding me!"


    She regarded Ashley as her best friend.


    Seeing Charlotte put her guard down, Ashley immediately asked, "Can I go on the yacht with you too?


    Maybe I can help you then"


    Charlotte frowned, "I''m not sure if I''ll be able to go either.I heard that there''s a limit to today''s list"


    Hearing that she wasn''t sure herself, Ashley was extremely disappointed.


    However, Charlotte immediately said something else.


    "How about we look for Miss Anthony and ask if she can give us two spots." Her words gave hope to


    Ashley, so the two of them went on the deck.
