Chapter 270


    In Merton Condominium, Mason had just finished his shower when his doorbell rang.


    He opened the door and the sight of a haggard Elizabeth greeted him.


    "Aunt Elizabeth, why are you here? What happened?"


    Elizabeth kicked her shoes off angrily and made her way to the sofa before sighing heavily, "William


    embarrassed me in front of all the other executives tonight!"


    "That b*stard embarrassed you? How dare he do so?"


    Mason had never gotten along with William.


    "Our great Sir William is the next head of the Howard Family, who would dare to stop him from doing


    so?"


    Elizabeth smiled coldly, bummed out at the events that had happened.


    "After the dinner tonight, I realised that they never treated me like one of their family members after


    all.Hayden, Charles, William, none of them recognise my efforts! It''s even more annoying because I


    can''t do anything about it!"


    Mason was furious after hearing about Elizabeth''sints, "The Howard family has gone too far!


    Don''t worry Aunt, I''ll definitely make sure they pay the price for treating you this way."


    "Humph!" Elizabeth sighed heavily again.


    She once believed that Mason could make a name for himself in the future, but now she suspected her


    own beliefs.


    Could Mason really meet her expectations? Mason knew that Elizabeth was disappointed in him as she


    continued sighing.


    "Don''t worry Aunt Elizabeth, mypany is in talks with Acma Corporation, well be fine once the


    project starts."


    "You''re working with Acma Corporation?" Elizabeth was shocked.


    "That''s right.Hardy had dismissed our ns beforehand, but we received a call from Acma Corporation


    saying that their Lady was interested in our project.So I changed some of the terms of the contract


    ording to their wishes, and they agreed to work together with us this afternoon."


    "Was it Paisley that contacted you?" Elizabeth couldn''t believe what she was hearing.


    "Isn''t Paisley William''s business partner? Why would she help you? Wait, is she doing, this to get rid of


    Valeria? It must be!"


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    After all, the enemy of an enemy was a friend indeed, and Paisley was helping Mason just because


    they had onemon enemy, which was Valeria.


    Elizabeth was excited, but she calmed herself down before waning Mason, "Listen, you need to make


    sure that you work together with Paisley to build up yourpany-"


    Elizabeth felt more hopeful now that Mason had secured a contract with Acma Corporation, so her


    disappointment and grievance were dissipated.


    Of course, as the daughter of the fallen Eich family, she had also worked hard throughout the years to


    marry Charles.


    Her efforts would not be in vain as long as Mason managed to build their family''spany back up.


    Elizabeth left Merton Condominium in a better mood and headed back to the Howard family vi.


    Instead of asking the taxi driver to drop her off at the doorstep, Elizabeth got off in front of the main


    gate and started the ten-minute walk back to the door.She knew Charles well, he would be fine once he


    had blown off some steam.She just had to think of how to deal with himter.


    If he wanted to take out his anger on her, then she would bear with it until Mason had finally gotten on


    his own feet.


    Deep in thought, Elizabeth was making her way through the vi''s garden when she heard a woman''s


    mourning soundsing from a nearby pavilion.


    Why would someone be secretly meeting in a garden that was inside the Howard Vi? Elizabeth


    couldn''t believe what she hearing and she stole a nce at the vi in distaste.


    To her shock, she saw Julie in the arms of a stranger! Why was Julie meeting another man in the


    pavilion when she was already pregnant with Ronald''s child? As Elizabeth was about the leave, a


    phone rang through the darkness.


    The female figure rushed to pick up the call hurriedly before answering, "Hi Ronald, I''m just taking a


    walk in the garden.Don''t worry, I''ll be back soon."


    So Julie was really cheating on Ronald after all! Elizabeth was stunned but she quickly recovered


    herself when she realized that she could use this incident in her favour.


    She made her way back to the pavilion before greeting Julie with a smile, "How are you doing,


    Ms.Evans?"


    Julie froze as she turned over to Elizabeth''s direction with a stiff expression.


    She was about to cover the man that was with her but it was toote, Elizabeth had caught them in the


    act.


    Elizabeth had managed to snap photos of the disheveled Julie and the man who was with her.


    The man who had been hiding behind Julie immediately rushed forward and attempted to snatch her


    phone from her hands.


    Elizabeth took a few steps back in surprise before scoffing, "Don''t move.Everyone will be here to


    witness this scene if I scream now"


    Julie stopped the unfamiliar man before saying, "Leave us, I''ll deal with this issue myself.Madam


    Howard here and I have known each other for years now."


    "Are you sure you don''t need my help?" The man asked quietly.


    "Yes, why don''t you leave first? I''ll deal with it," Julieforted him.


    The man turned back and gave Elizabeth a fierce re before leaving.


    Julie did not appear to be nervous at all even though she knew that Elizabeth had caught her cheating,


    "So Madam Howard, what do you want in return? Name a price."


    Elizabeth was ted as it was obvious that Julie was just trying to maintain a calm facade.


    Julie was probably the most shameless person that Elizabeth had ever met, as she was willing to resort


    to any methods possible to achieve her goals.


    Elizabeth smiled, "Well, I guess the onlymon target we have is Valeria, isn''t that right?"


    Julie smiled before answering, "You''re right, but I myself have ns to deal with her.I''m nning to get


    rid of her in just a few days, so why don''t you sit back and wait for the news?"


    "I guess I''ve been too impatient, that b*tch has took things too far this time after all."


    Elizabeth could not get revenge on William, and therefore she could only get rid of Valeria.


    She did not bother to hide her excitement from Julie seeing that they had amon goal, "Would it be


    possible to tell me your ns in advance?"


    "I''m afraid not, but I do have a suggestion for you.Ronald is looking for a perverted old man to marry


    Valeria off, do you have any rmendations?"


    "I have the perfect candidate actually" Elizabeth''s eyes lit up at Julie’ s suggestion.


    "What a coincidence!"


    Julie agreed with gleaming eyes, "Let''s sit down and discuss about it then!"
