Chapter 280


    Could Valeria have plotted this scheme because she realised that his ns had failed? Valeria might


    not have been able to do this herself, but now that she was dating William from the Howard family, so


    she would have been able to get help from any of his bodyguards anytime.


    If Valeria was the mastermind behind his attack, then did that mean that she had found out about his


    ns? Ronald had grown even more suspicious of Valeria.


    He had gotten so suspicious of her that he was annoyed at the sight of her putting on a concerned


    facade in front of him.


    Even though he had no supporting evidence, Ronald believed that Valeria was the prime suspect


    behind his attack.


    In fact, he was convinced that she was currently in the room to admire the results of her ns.


    Ronald could not stand Valeria''s mocking face any longer, so he grunted, "I have Kyrie here with me,


    so you all can leave first."


    "I''ll stay with you"


    Julie refused as this would be a good opportunity to showcase her loyalty, "Kyrie is injured too, so it


    would be better for me to take care of you"


    "I''ll stay to help mother too since she''s pregnant." Ashely added.


    Julie nced at Valeria before speaking, "You can leave first since you won''t be of much help


    anyways."


    Valeria was smart enough to know that they did not want her to be in that room.


    She stood up to leave as she had not nned to stay for long anyway, "Alright, I''ll visit you tomorrow


    then!"

    Ronald''s expression turned furious once he heard Valeria''s fading footsteps, "Could Valeria be the


    mastermind behind this?"


    "It couldn''t be, right?" Kyrie was unsure too.


    "It must have been her! She''s the only one who has a motive to do this to you!"


    Ashely and Julie eximed.


    "A motive?" Ronald asked.


    "She must have realized that you were trying to use her during the meeting with Den.Then, she


    decided to attack you tonight to ruin your ns for tomorrow!"


    Julie started making up exnations in order to make Valeria look even more suspicious in Ronald''s


    eyes.


    "I never knew that b*tch could be so merciless!"


    Ronald was furious when he realised that Julie''s spection made sense.


    "That ungrateful b*tch! How could she do this to me after I''ve worked so hard to support her? She has


    no conscience at all!"


    Ronald cursed angrily as he did not realise that this incident had been a result of his own actions.


    Kyrie waited for him to finish before speaking, "Our ns with Den have been ruined then! If Miss


    Brown is really behind this, she would definitely refuse to attend the banquet tomorrow night!"


    "Don''t worry, I have a suggestion, Julie replied instantly, "As the vice president of thepany, she has


    to meet thepany''s clients in Ronald''s ce now that he''s injured."


    "Yes, if she still refuses to go, we should just say that attendance ispulsory for all senior


    executives.I''ll make sure to get her into Den''s bed, and then we can threaten her with videos of her


    being caught in the act!"


    Ashely, who had inherited her mother''s vicious streak suggested.


    While the three of them were discussing about their evil schemes, Valeria had made her way to


    William''s car unhappily.


    William pinched her face after seeing her upset expression, "What made you so upset?"


    "How could I not be upset? Who could''ve done this to my dad? He''s not the type of person who would


    go around picking fights with others, so why would someone beat him up like this?"


    Valeria paused and thought for a moment before turning towards William, "Did you do this, William?"


    "It wasn''t me!" William shook his head.


    "Tell me the truth, did you do this? My dad was injured the same way Lexis was.Both of them had one


    of their hands broken and were beaten up harshly while the security cameras were not working!"


    William panicked instantly, how had Valeria manage to figure everything out within such a short time? If


    it had been his men who had beaten up Ronald instead of Lamont, he would have not been able to lie


    his way through Valeria''s insistent questioning.


    "I swear it wasn''t me! I didn''t do this to him!"


    Valeria sighed in relief as William appeared to be telling the truth, "Who else could it be then?"


    "It must have been someone who has a grudge against him.Your dad goes around offending people all


    the time, it''s time that he pays for his sins!"


    "William, stop joking around! Couldn''t you at least pretend to be concerned for my father who''s


    currently lying in hospital? Why do you look extremely pleased instead?"


    "Uh no! I''m actually really upset about what had happened.How could anyone do this to a kind-hearted


    old man that has done no wrong in his life? I’ll make sure to find the culprit behind this!" William said


    with a serious look.


    Valeria nudged him, "Alright alright, I get it.I''ll never forgive you if I find out that you were the one who


    did this...how could youy a hand on your own father-inw?"


    "I didn''t do it! I swear it wasn''t me!"


    William was prepared to take an oath to prove his innocence when Valeria grabbed his hand, "Alright,


    cut it out.I believe you"


    William started the car and left the hospital once he had made sure that Valeria believed his words.


    Now that Valeria had one less suspect to deal with, the next problem that she had to solve was to


    figure out what the three people in the hospital had in mind.


    It was obvious that they were trying to devise a scheme to get rid of her when they forced her out of the


    hospital ward.


    Ronald had mentioned that they were meeting some clients tomorrow.


    Could the event go ahead as nned now that he was injured? Valeria decided to inform Lamont about


    what had happened so that she would be prepared to face any troubles that were heading her way.


    "Hi Uncle Saunders, my dad is currently in the hospital with a broken arm.I''m afraid that he''ll try to set


    up a trap for me with the help of Julie and Ashely, so I was thinking that we should strike first"


    "What do you have in mind, Miss?" Lamont asked.


    "During my meeting with Den today, that b*stard was looking at me with his perverted eyes.I''m afraid


    that they''re nning to marry me off to Den in return for a reward.If the banquet tomorrow proceeds


    as nned, it would be a perfect time to y a trick on Ashely in return for the ‘pranks’ that she''s done,


    wouldn''t it?"


    "That''s a great idea, Miss.I''ll arrange for someone to set up something once you find out the location of


    the banquet" Lamont replied as he supported her ns wholeheartedly.


    Lamont was just a bodyguard, so why did he say that he would arrange for people to help her with her


    ns? Valeria stared at Lamont''s message, baffled at his reply.
