Chapter 257


    Valeria''s face suddenly changed at this thought.


    If that was the case, then Julie and her daughter were the murderers who had indirectly killed her


    mother.


    Lucian saw the change in her expression and asked, "Miss Brown, did you think of something?"


    Valeria nodded.


    She didn''t know why, but she trusted Lucian even though they were not very familiar with each


    other.She told Lucian about her mother''s situation before she died.


    Lucian was shocked, "So she did not fall sick gradually? It was a sudden illness? That''s not normal..."


    "Yes, even though she was in poor health before, she was only weak and had no other symptoms


    then.My father asked her to hand over thepany responsibilities to him to reduce her load, so that


    she would have time to take care of her sick body.She only handed over the entirepanyter."


    Valeria recalled, "I apanied my mother abroad, and we stayed there for about three months.She


    became very healthy during that time.She used to be out of breath simply from walking, but when we


    were abroad, she could even climb mountains as well..."


    "However, she started to feel dizzy again once she had returned to the maind..." Valeria frowned.


    "The doctor couldn''t find anything wrong with her.However, I realised that the rtionship between her


    and my father became a bit abnormal.They had always respected each other before, but they began to


    quarrel, and I heard it even though they tried to do it behind my back.Later on, my mother suddenly


    gave me all the shares and property under her name before she passed away"


    Lucian looked serious after hearing Valeria''s story.


    "Something''s wrong.There must be a reason behind her sudden change.Your mother trusted Ronald so


    much, and even she entrusted thepany to him and let him inherit her property back then.Why did


    she suddenly leave all her shares and property to you? She must have found out something."


    "What do you think she found out?"


    "She had the capabilities to deal with Ronald quietly when she found out that he had been cheating on


    her, but she chose not to do so.What was her reason?"


    Natalie was beautiful and talented, and she hated evil deeds.She also had the capabilities to manage a


    company.


    If she found that Ronald had cheated on her, she would not tolerate him and would definitely deal with


    him.


    However, Natalie didn''t do that.


    Instead, the first thing she thought of was to make a will and left her property to Valeria.


    This was not her style of doing things.


    Did that mean that Natalie had no idea about Ronald''s affair? Lucian thought about it but she could not


    figure anything out, "Miss Brown, we can slowly look for evidenceter regarding your mother''s


    matters.


    Let''s talk about the current matters at hand, why are you looking for Lamont? What do you want him to


    help you with?"


    "Actually, I don''t know what he can do for me" Valeria told her about the phone number she found in the


    inteyer of the safe.


    Lucian immediately replied after hearing about the string of keys in Lucian''s safe, "Those keys are the


    keys to the bank safe!"


    "I thought so too, and I n to check my mother''s safe box information in the bank.However, I don''t


    know why she left Lamont s phone number behind as well.Lucian, you know him, right? What do you


    think he can help me with?"


    She smiled and said, "Lamont can protect you from being bullied"


    "Just that?"


    Valeria didn''t believe it.


    She could simply find a bodyguard herself, why did it have to be Lamont?


    "I''m joking.Your mother actually wanted you to find me, because you can find me once you find


    Lamont.He''s my man"


    "Your man? You and Lamont are husband and wife?" Valeria looked at her in surprise.


    "We''re not husband and wife" Lucian shook her head.

    "We have been together for a long time, and we have a daughter who is one year older than you, but


    we are not married. Lamont and I are not considered a couple, and we can''t get married for a certain


    reason."


    Valeria was stunned.


    They were not a married couple, but they had a daughter that was only a year older than her! The


    rtionship between Lucian and Lamont was tooplicated! Lucian smiled when she saw Valeria''s


    reaction, "Your mother knows about me and Lamont.She knows that my daughter is his child.I think she


    left the phone number so you could look for me through him, and I would be able to help you this way."


    Her exnation was reasonable.


    At this point, Valeria no longer hid her purpose foring and told her about Ronald''s n to steal her


    shares and property.


    Lucian was furious after hearing her words as she replied angrily, "I knew that he was a bad


    person.Ronald is too disgusting! How could he be so evil by ying tricks like that?"


    "Aunt Lucian, I don''t know anything now.I''m alone and weak, and no one can help me.It would be a


    disadvantage for me if I fell out with my father, as he would definitely not go soft on me because of his


    mistress and illegitimate daughter.So, can you please help me?"


    "No! I can''t help you!" Lucian shook her head.


    "I have not dealt with thepany''s matters for many years, and it would do more harm than good if I


    mess things up.Furthermore, Ronald will be on guard if I appear as he is extremely familiar with me.So,


    in order not catch him unprepared, Lamont and I have discussed itst night and prepared another


    person to help you!"


    "Who is it?"


    "My daughter, Braelynn Saunders!"


    Aunt Lucian replied.


    The name Braelynn Saunders was so familiar.


    Valeria seemed to have heard of it somewhere before, and Lucian continued to exin "She''s abroad


    now, but she will being back to the country in half a month.I''ll ask her to find you when shees


    back.She doesn''t have any other skills, but she does have the capabilities to manage apany.You


    can discuss thepany matters with her.Lamont will look for you by then as well."


    "I can''t wait afford to wait any longer! It''ll be toote to wait for Braelynn toe back as my dad ns


    to transfer thepany''s funds!"


    Valeria repeated Hardy''s message about how Ronald was in the process of transferring properties to


    Lucian.


    Lucian had a grave expression on her face.


    "That''s a problem.If Ronald were to use his status to make a fake contract to transfer thepany''s


    assets, you wouldn''t be able to stop him at all as Hayden is helping him now.This is a big problem,


    Miss Brown...If only you hade to find me earlier"


    Did she mean that there was no way to save her? Valeria said with a heavy heart, "Are there no


    solutions to this problem?"


    "It''s difficult! I''ll ask Lamont if he has any ideas!"


    Lucian sighed, "I can try my best to find a way, but you don''t have too much hope in me..."
