Chapter 264
Wearing a cap and a pair of sunsses, Lamont had arrived in West- Hill cafe and was scrolling
through his phone while waiting for Archer Around ten minutester, he heard footstepsing his way
as Archer entered the coffee shop through the front door.
Then, Lamont stood up to greet him, "Mr.Saunders!"
Archer gestured for him to sit before asking, "What''s wrong? Why are you looking for me so urgently?"
Next, Lamont nodded, "Yes, I wanted to ask a quick favor from you.It ‘s about Miss Valeria Brown."
"Valeria? Do you mean Natalie''s daughter?"
A mysterious expression shed across Archer''s face a while before disappearing.
"What about her?"
"Valeria came to me for help when she heard that Ronald was preparing to transfer his funds.As you
know, I''m not too knowledgeable about business issues, so I thought I''d ask you.Valeria is just a
helpless young child, surely you have some idea to help her, right?"
Lamont exined.
After that, Archer frowned, "Wait, my father-inw is involved in this? Why is he siding with Ronald
against Valeria?"
"I don''t understand either, could Hayden have left the issue only to settle the scoreter on?" Lamont
guessed.
At that, Archer shook his head, "I don''t think so.The reason he hasn''t been diving into this matter is
probably that I agreed to his terms, which means that he would''vee to a conclusion regarding
it.Valeria should have nothing to do with this, and he would have no reason to go against her.There
must be some other reason that we don''t know yet."
"Let''s ignore the fact that Hayden and Ronald are colluding for now.Do you have any ideas on how we
could stop Ronald''s ns?"
"It might be tough, but it''s possible,"
Archer answered after a slight pause.
"You should order a fake Brownard Group stamp and find a way to switch it with the real one.In this
case, the stamp on the contract would be fake, thus the contract would not be legally binding.After that,
all Valeria needs to do is to wait for Ronald to slip up before dealing with him directly."
Then, Lamont''s face brightened up at Archer''s suggestion, "Why didn‘t Ie up with this idea?
I''llinform Valeria about it right now."
As soon as Lamont finished speaking, he immediately picked up his phone to call Valeria.
Meanwhile, Valeria had just parked her car when her phone rang, and she picked it up before
answering, "Hello? Who''s on the line?"
"Hello Miss, it''s Lamont! I''ve thought of a method that you could use to stop Ronald''s ns!"
"What should I do?" Valeria asked.
"You should switch out the official stamp..."

"Oh, I''ve done that” Valeria replied with a t voice.
"What? You''ve already changed the stamp? When did you have the time to do so?" Lamont asked,
thinking that he had misheard Valeria ‘s answer.
"Just now" Valeria replied, "Besides changing thepany stamp, I also ordered Richard to freeze all
of thepany’s assets.With this, my father can''t carry out any of his ns now’
Lamont had been talking to Valeria while in speaker mode, and Archer, who had been sitting across the
table the whole time heard their conversation clearly, was shocked yet impressed with her quick
thinking.
On the other hand, Lamont himself was also extremely surprised at how fast Valeria had taken action
against Ronald.
"Miss, what''s the next step of your n? Do you need my help?"
"I''ve actually decided to find someone else to take over thepany .l even have a candidate in mind,
and that''s Braelynn, who Lucian rmended to me.But I haven''t decided what to do after the
takeover though," Valeria replied as she reached out to open her car door.
"Well anyway, I''m meeting my friends soon, we''ll talkter" Hence, Lamont couldn''t believe his ears as
he hung up the phone.
"Well well, who would''ve thought that Valeria was so smart? I thought she was just an innocent and
clueless child."
"She must have inherited Natalie''s intellect.People like them normally want to lead simple and peaceful
lives withoutplicating things, but once they''ve been put in tough situations, they would resort to
any necessary means to get themselves out of danger" Archer replied.
Then, Lamont stole a nce at Archer.
Indeed, Valeria appeared to have inherited Natalie''s intelligence, but what about Archer''s aptitude for
business? Valeria would be proimed as the next genius in the business industry if she had really
inherited both of their strengths.
"Now that I think about it, she should be around twenty- four years old this year, right? She has such a
lovely voice, doesn''t she?"
Archer smiled slightly while thinking about Valeria.
"That''s right, she''s turning twenty-four this year’ Lamont nodded.
"Twenty-four is the best age one can be!"
Archer sighed softly in regret.He and Natalie''s children would have been around that age too if that
incident hadn''t happened.
"I can''t believe how ungrateful Ronald is! He has such a brilliant daughter, but instead of spoiling her,
he decides to make an enemy of her?"
"Well, everyone knows that Mr.Brown isn''t exactly the best parent out there as he has a mistress and
an illegitimate daughter.I actually pity President Garcia right now."
Archer''s eyes shed in pain when Natalie was brought up.
"It''s all my fault, what I did was unforgivable!"
"Don''t me yourself, President Saunders, you can''t control everything that happens in this world after
all.If you want to seek forgiveness from President Garcia, perhaps you should help Miss Brown as
much as possible."
"You''re right! Feel free to tell me anytime if Valeria needs my help, I''ll definitely help her to the best of
my ability," Archer agreed as he stood up to leave.
"I''ll be going, but remember to keep my past a secret from her, I don''t want her to be tangled up in my
problems as well."
"I will" Lamont replied while standing up to see Archer off.
He only put on his cap and left the coffee shop ten minutester.
Then, Lamont had been driving for quite some time after leaving the coffee shop when he felt that
something was off.
Slowing down, he realized that there was a sleek ck car trailing behind him.
This car had been driving behind him since he left the coffee shop.
Was he being followed? Next, Lamont decided to speed up to shake the car off his trail, but the car had
also sped up to catch up with him.
There was no mistake, the car was following him.
How could anyone be so daring to stalk him during the middle of the day? Lamont sneered as he
stopped his car so he could get off.
As soon as the ck car that had been trailing him stopped, Lamont immediately rushed over and
knocked on their window.
The window had barely been opened before he grabbed the driver by their cor with one hand and he
punched the driver''s face as hard as he could.
Therefore, Lamont''s punch was unexpected, and the driver could barely let out a scream before he had
been blinded.
Satisfied, Lamont shook his hands and drove away as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, William was going through his documents at the Wolf Group when Marcus entered his
office, "Mr.Howard, our sources report that Lamont has been sighted!"
Hence, William immediately put down his pen, "Where is he?"
"I followed your orders and kept an eye on Archer.Just like you predicted, Lamont met Archer in a
coffee shop in Ruthorham today for about forty minutes.However, I also need to report that Lamont has
discovered someone following him and he immediately dealt with him.I guess he really is as arrogant
as ever after all."
"Where is he now then?" William immediately retorted.
"We don''t know his exact location, but it has been reported that he has left Ruthorham and is now in B
City.We lost the cunning fellow as he was driving past a red light" Marcus replied as he nced at
William''s face cautiously.
"What do you think, Mr.Howard? Who would be following Lamont around now?"
Then, William paused for a while, and he was deep in thought before answering, "Well, perhaps it could
be my sister''s men?"
"Why would your elder sister be sending people to follow Lamont?"
"I have no idea," William shook his head to dismiss the idea, "Do you have anything else to report?"
"Yes, just one more thing.” Julie went out on a date with a manina coffee shop today.Our sources
reported that their rtionship is possibly more than just normal friends as they were behaving
