Obsession With Mr. Right

Chapter 289 

Charles frowned at Mason's bloody face and immediately ordered his driver as they were driving out of the police station, "Head to hospital now!"

Mason wiped the blood on his face before exclaiming, "I'm fine! I don ‘t need to go to the hospital!"

Charles did not insist after hearing his words, "Drive us to Mason's house then!"

The driver immediately turned and headed to Merton Condominium.

Charles followed Mason off the car when they arrived and coughed as he said, "That incident last night...stays between us!"

Mason turned and stared at him, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation for your actions, uncle?"

"An explanation?" Charles asked with a sneer.

"Where do I even start ? Ashley and I were both set up and we somehow ended up on bed together."

"That's it?" Mason retorted.

"What? Did you think that I would be interested in a woman that you slept with?"

Charles replied coldly, "I'm saying this not because I think that I'm disappointing your aunt, but make sure you forget about this incident if you don't want to upset her."

Mason understood the meaning behind his words immediately.

However, he was confused as to how Charles could pretend nothing had happened.

Charles had taken out his temper on Elizabeth by scolding and hitting her, and Mason felt that it was a pity as it was obvious that Charles did not care about her at all.

Why would he marry Elizabeth if he had no feelings for her then? Mason thought as he tried to control the rage burning inside him, "I promise to keep this a secret from my aunt if you promise never to meet Ashely again."

"Alright, stop nagging, I know what to do"

Charles waved impatiently, "Remember to go back and come up with an excuse so that you can answer your aunt when she questions you about it."

Charles got in his car and left after reminding Mason.

Mason sighed as he watched the car drive out of the condominium.

He realised everyone wore masks and never treated anyone sincerely.

Instead, they were all pretending to help each other while trying to stab each other in the back.

Mason couldn't help but look back at the carefree days when he was still dating Valeria.

Valeria had always been sincere and she had never betrayed him.

What did he do in return? He cheated on her! Mason suddenly remembered that he had fainted while trying to stop a waitress from carrying Valeria into the elevator.

He was worried about her.

He immediately picked up his phone to call her, but only a robotic voice could be heard from the other end, "The number that you've dialled is engaged, please try again later!"

Mason felt ashamed as he hung up.

How could he have forgotten that Valeria had blocked him after their fight? As he thought about how Valeria had taken care of him when he was injured, Mason teared up once he realised that he could never mend his relationship with Valeria anymore.

He had only realised how important Valeria was after losing her.

However, it was impossible for him to get her back, and no amount of regret could change this fact.

Valeria picked up her phone to read the news as soon as she woke up the next morning.

William reached out and pulled her back into his arms, "It's still early, so why don't we sleep a little longer?"

"I can't fall back asleep anymore! You can go ahead and rest more, I'll read the news!"

She answered gently as she escaped from his arms.

William reached for her again and caught her, "Just a little more!"

In the end, William sat up and let go of Valeria as he had been woken up by her attempts to escape. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Other than a report on what happened in Halcyon Hotel, there was nothing special on the news today.

Valeria was scrolling through the news about Declan when she saw that the police had found out that Declan had been dealing with thousands of packets of drugs.

However, she was sure that Lamont had not found a large number of drugs when he was exploring Declan’s house.

Where did the drugs come from then? Valeria thought before glancing at William, "Did you do this?"

"Yes." William nodded.

"Where did you find the drugs?"

"It's just drugs.Every household keeps some, right?" William answered jokingly.

"Tell me the truth! I have no time for your jokes!"

William coughed dryly before answering, "I told my men to add some flour to the drugs because I thought that there were too little drugs around him!"

"Why did you do that?" Valeria was stunned.

"They all look the same anyways, so why not?" William replied with a smile.

"You're too evil!"

Valeria scolded as she pinched his arm, "How could you be this evil, Willian?"

"Stop, it hurts!"

William exclaimed as he massaged his arm to soothe the pain, "Are you trying to murder your husband?"

"Wait, this is too strange.The police would have been able to tell that those are flour!"

Valeria couldn't believe what she was listening to.

William smiled again, "It doesn't matter whether those are real drugs or not.As long as a few people believe a lie, a lie can become the truth easily as well."

"Declan didn't stand a chance against you after all?"

"Of course! God should make him pay for his sins!"

William smiled but in truth, he had never really believed in God.

Declan might not have done anything to William, but he had dared to mess around with Valeria, and William was determined to make sure that Declan would be paying the price.

After all, he had been messing around with his woman, so he had to bear with the consequences of doing so then.

Valeria felt extremely relieved after hearing William's confident words, "I'm sure my dad heard the news right? I wonder what he thinks about Charles sleeping with Ashely?"

"He would probably be excited as it means that he would be Charles’ father-in-law now that Ashley slept with him! After all, he has always wanted to have connections with the Howard family right?" William asked jokingly.

"You're right! I should ask him for a reward as the main contributor to his success, right?" Valeria asked in return.

"That's right! Why do we go see him now then?" William replied, humoring her.

"Alright, alright, let's stop here.He would be enraged if I went to see him to ask for a reward now" Valeria giggled.

"There's another thing I'm curious about.Now that Ashley has slept with Elizabeth's husband, I wonder whether the both of them would end up fighting each other?"

William immediately stopped smiling, "I think they'll try to keep it a secret from Elizabeth for now, but they probably will end up arguing once she finds out."

"Right? I can't wait to see the expressions on their faces when they start arguing!"

William nudged her nose before replying, "Alright, let's have breakfast, then we can enjoy the show!"
