Chapter 75
Chapter 75
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Valeria rushed to the rotating restaurant in B City.
She went through the door of the box and saw Ashley and Julie sitting there with Ronald.
Valeria instantly turned dark.
Julie had to maintain her good stepmother appearance in front of Ronald.
She stood up with a smile and said, "Good to see you, Valeria.Come here and have a seat!"
Ashley followed Julie to her feet and enthusiastically held Valeria's hand, as if she and Valeria had never had a problem.
Seeing Ashley feigning innocence, Valeria felt disgusted.
She avoided Ashley's touch and looked at Ronald, "What do you want, my dear father?"
"Come in and sit down, Valeria.I've order the dishes you like.We talked over dinner."
Ronald also forced a smile.
Valeria knew Ronald had bad intentions behind his smile.
It was a challenge for Valeria to cover up her disgust while dining with the mistress and her daughter.
Valeria wanted to turn around and leave, but when she thought about Bob's words, she resisted the idea. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
She would like to figure out what Ronald was up to when he brought the mistress and her daughter to meet her.
After watching Valeria sit down, Julie offered to pour Valeria a cup of tea with a smirk and cautious expression.
"Valeria, I'm sorry for what happened before.It's our fault that you have such a cold relationship with your father.Ashley and I want to apologize"
Valeria saw it through that Julie was making amends hypocritically, so she did not take over the tea cup and looked at Julie coldly.
"You must be kidding, Ms.Evans.You said at the dinner party that you had nothing to do with my father.How could my father and I be at loggerhead over an outsider?"
After being relentlessly rebutted by Valeria, Jolie managed to keep a smile on her face despite the hatred in her heart "Valeria, I'm sorry to make you uncomfortable.It's all my fault.You can do whatever you want to me, but your father is innocent.Valeria had to admit that Julie was really good at hoaxing others.She knew when to be vulnerable and naive, and she took the blame for it all, which was sure to win Ronald over.
Valeria pursed her lips and smiled, "Sure.My dad is innocent.You shamelessly seduced my dad, didn't you?"
It was hard for Julie to answer this question.
Because if she didn't admit that she seduced Ronald, that meant she admitted that Ronald seduced her.
Julie now knew that Valeria was more articulate than she thought.
Valeria looked at Julie with disdain, "Everyone knows what you're up to.You deliberately seduced my father into giving birth to an illegitimate daughter, so that one day you could become mistress of the
house with the help of your illegitimate daughter, right?"
Julie's face turned white because of Valeria's unmasking her, "No, no.Valeria, it's not what you think.I met your father before your mother and I never meant to disturb your father's life at that time.."
"Then you should never show up in front of my father if you didn't want to disturb him.So why did you show up? Don't pretend to be innocent.You really think we are fools "
Valeria's words made Ronald's face change.He was not a fool.
Julie kept saying that she didn't want to disturb him.
Since so, why did she let Ashley get close to Valeria? Before Valeria knowing Ashley's identity, they were on very good terms with each other, weren't they? Valeria knew that Ronald had believed what she said, so she smiled sarcastically.
"You let your daughter approach me and hook up with Mason to drive me away, right? As long as I'm thrown out, you and your daughter can do whatever you want in front of my father? One day, all property of the Brown family will be occupied by you and your illegitimate daughter.I have to say, Ms.Evans, you've made a perfect plan!"
Julie had no idea that Valeria was so eloquent and everything she said pointed to her intentions.
Ronald gradually showed a thoughtful expression, which made her panic.
She couldn't let Ronald know that she had a purpose or all her plans would be destroyed.
Now she must dispel Ronald's doubts about her.
So Julie immediately acted as if she was about to cry.
"I won't blame you for misunderstanding me.But we are not what you think.We just want to apologize, without any other purpose.Ashley and I won't enter the Brown family.You can count on it!"
"Well, let's wait and see.Ms.Evans, please remember what you said today.If you want me to believe that you have no other agenda, please take your illegitimate daughter out of B City and away from my father.Only in this way can I believe in you!"
Valeria pushed her so hard that Julie hated her to the extreme.
How could she possibly want to leave B city? But it was only for a moment that she came up with a solution.
"We can leave B city, but...Ashley is pregnant.You may not know.Because of the baby, the Brown family and the Howard family are about to start their partnership, which was agreed by Madam Howard.If we infuriate the Howard family by leaving, it will bring an end to the partnership’' Julie was reminding Ronald that it was Ashley who made the two families work together.
Ronald knew it for sure.
He looked at Valeria unhappily, "Valeria, don't mess around!"
"Mess around? You think I'm messing around? Do you have any idea of what they have done to me? They purposely smeared me, framed me, and even paid people to kidnap me.If you still treat me as your daughter, why don't you see they are so despicable and shameless?"
"Valeria, don't talk nonsense! You need evidence.We never framed or kidnapped you.Don't frame us with unwarranted charges."
Julie denied it and turned to Ronald for help.
"Ronald, you know me well.I promise I never hurt Valeria.Believe me!"
"A shameless mistress is not to be trusted."
Valeria looked at Julie disdainfully.
Ronald's asking Julie and her daughter to apologize was just going through the motions.
The purpose of bringing Valeria here was to get her to end her relationship with the ordinary man and move back home.
Ronald frowned at Valeria's aggression and looked at her disagreeably.
"Well, let bygones be bygones.Julie and Ashley have sincerely apologized to you, so please don't bring up any of those unpleasant things.We're family"
"Family", the righteous word made Valeria disgusted.
She finally saw it through that Ronald had never believed in her and never did he intend to help her.
"Being such case, better not to waste time" she thought with a mocking smile.
"Sorry, I don't want to feel how you feel.I will never be in a family with this pair of mother and daughter!"
Compared with the obedience of Julie and her daughter, Valeria was simply totally obdurate.
With a stringy forehead, Ronald could no longer pretend to be gentle.
He stared at Valeria fiercely.
"Shut up! When will you be grown up?"
Looking at the livid Ronald, Valeria found that Ronald had become very strange to her.
She was downhearted with no more other words, "So what do you want to tell me today? I got plenty of things to deal with and I'll leave here right after your words!"
Her words made Ronald angrier, "Good.Let's make it straight.Are you with a poor man? My daughter is not allowed to date with such a poor man! Break up with that man right now!"
