On the way back home, there was no traffic, so Bobby was driving smooth. Valeria sat in the back row and leaned against William while looking at the credit card given by Archer happily.
“Haha! Is there really money inside? Don’t tell me he’s trying to trick me?”
William answered with a smile, “There’s money in the card. Just take it! He should always keep his words as the head of the Saunders family in Ruthorham.”
“Honey, you’re really amazing! How could you win so much money in one go? Hmm… but I think Archer seems to have a good temper because he was still relaxed even though he lost this much.”
Her words made Bobby laughing and said, “One must always honour a bet! Besides, to him, 100 million dollars is not as important as his reputation! So, why should he be mad?”
“But why did he treat Raymond like that? I heard from Abbie that he would not give anything to Raymond. Is he really stingy towards his own son?”
“Maybe there’s another reason. Anyway, people become rich by being stingy!” William answered with a smile.
“But why are you not stingy but so generous to me?” Valeria asked him. Then, he pinched her face. “Hmm… this is because I love you.”
“Then, Archer didn’t give Raymond money because he didn’t like him? He is so pitiful like me earlier! My dad also planned to give his whole company to his illegitimate child back then.”
Valeria sighed as she felt in the same way, and she suddenly changed the topic, “Honey, who is richer between you and Archer?”
William was shocked as he thought that she would be sad about the past, but he never expected her to ask this question. He smiled helplessly, “I think… it should be me!”
“My husband is amazing! How much are you going to give me? Don’t tell me that it belongs to me because I’m yours. Hah… I should keep some money with me. After all, you’re so handsome, and I think you’ll look the same even when you’re old. Ah, will you abandon my son and me if I become ugly when I’m old?”
Valeria actually began to worry that he would cheat on her! William squinted and smiled. “Haha! Is money the most important thing in your life? Why are you so miserly?”
“No. It’s because you’ll be loyal to me if I have money! Thus, it’s better to give out all your property to me. I won’t return them if you cheat me one day.”
“That’s simple. Let’s find a lawyer to sign a contract. If I really cheat and leave you, I’ll divorce you and give everything to you, so what do you think?”
“Really?” Valeria asked.
“Of course not! Wouldn’t that be too disadvantageous for me?” William said seriously, “What if you abandon me?”
“Then, I’ll sign a contract too. I’ll leave with nothing if I dare to do it!” Valeria said, “Anyway, I won’t dump you, but you’re the one I’m worried about. Did you know that how many waitresses had their eyes on you last night?”
“Alright, then let’s do it!” They reached out and held their pinky fingers together and said, “You can’t break your promise!”
In Charles’s resort, Charles and Savannah had been waiting for the news last night. When it was two o’clock in the morning, the news finally came. “Police have rushed to the resort. It seems that they have succeeded!”
Charles breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the news and immediately asked, “Is there any news from your subordinates?”
“No. They didn’t bring any communication tools into the resort to prevent any trouble, so they won’t report the results until they leave there safely.”
Charles heaved a sigh of relief after looking at the message. Savannah asked nervously, “Charles, did you succeed?”
“Almost there. I’m just waiting for the call now. If something happens to that b*stard, the police will definitely inform you to go to the hospital as soon as possible.”
Savannah was excited. “Haha! Finally! I can’t wait anymore. I have to get myself ready as I’m afraid that I won’t be able to hold back my laughter when I see the wretched image of the b*stard in the hospital!”
“Prepare some eye drops and use them when you get there,” Charles suggested.
They didn’t have the mood to rest, so they just sat in the study room and waiting for the call with excitement.
However, there was no news until dawn. Savannah was so anxious and asked, “What’s going on? Why hasn’t anyone called yet? Perhaps did… did an accident happen?”
“Nah! I don’t think so! Our plan was thorough, and they are capable assassins. No one can escape if they take action. What’s more, the police sent a large force to the villa, so this means that something must have happened. Let’s wait!”
After waiting for more than an hour, the news finally showed up. “There was a murder case in the resort. There’s been one death and one injury!”
Savannah and Charles were relieved to see the news’s title. Then, they hurriedly read the details about it.
It mentioned that there were two police officers who were seriously injured when they were chasing the criminals.
The news did not report whether the victims were men or women clearly, and a follow-up would be done once police released further information.
They were completely relieved after reading the news. After their long wait, they were tired and planned to eat breakfast. After that, they would catch up on their sleep before they continue to wait for the further information.
However, Savannah received another message on her phone while they were having breakfast.
“I know that you sent someone to hurt Valeria in the resort last night. If you’re smart enough, prepare the money immediately. You only have one day, and I’ll disclose your secret to the public if you don’t pay in time. I’m sure you know the consequences, right?”
Savannah was anxious when she saw this threat. She then handed her phone to Charles and said, “D*mn, this blackmailer sent a message again. F*ck! She actually knows what we’ve done to Valeria at the resort.”
Charles’s face darkened after reading it. “It can’t be her, right?”
“Are you talking about Ashley?” Savannah immediately thought of it. “That b*tch eavesdropped last night and said that she wanted to talk to you after Elizabeth called her out. Did she do it? Now that I think about it, she hasn’t come back since last night…”
“I’m not sure about it. Oh well, there’s only one thing awaiting her if she did it! Haha!” Charles’s face was full of viciousness.
Ashley went to the hospital after she left last night. In fact, she did not want to go there to visit Julie. However, she had no choice as Elizabeth knew that she had eavesdropped on their conversation. After thinking for a while, the only excuse she could use now was that she had visited Julie.
Thus, she reluctantly went to Julie’s ward and sat next to the latter’s bed before cursing Elizabeth fiercely, “F*ck! I’ll make sure that b*tch won’t live a good life. I’ll kick her out and replace her!”
She just wanted to vent her anger, but she did not expect that Julie, who had been unconscious for such a long time, would wake up.
Her face was full of scars, and she couldn’t speak. After hearing Ashley’s vicious curses, Julie just kept blinking at her.
“Mom, what do you want to say?”
Julie nodded with difficulty as her tongue was gone, and she couldn’t speak at all. Therefore, Ashley had to find a paper and a pen then handed them to her. She then wrote a sentence slowly, “Elizabeth is Mason’s mum!”
