Valeria left after saying these words, and Lamont still followed behind her as he wanted to persuade her, “Miss, I’m truly doing this for your own good!”
The luxury car came over quietly. Bobby got out of the car and opened the car door respectfully. “Madam, please get in!”
William, who was in the back seat, looked at Lamont with a sarcastic smile. Lamont did not step forward anymore and he watched William and Valeria leave as the car drove away.
The car had arrived silently just now. But now, exhaust smoke blew on his face when their car drove away.
He then wiped his face and shook his head. After a while, Archer’s car came over. He already knew the results when he saw Lamont’s bitter smile. “So… she doesn’t want to accept me, right?”
“Well, she didn’t say that, but she probably didn’t believe what I said and thought that I was making up a story. However, she became irritated and insisted that she would never give William up,” Lamont sighed, “Would you agree if she agrees to return as long as you approve of her relationship with William?”
Archer was quiet. He finally understood why William could be this arrogant and confident.
William wasn’t the one that needed his help, but vice versa! Archer knew very well that the person who was asking for help was always the weak one.
As the car sped along, Valeria leaned against William’s arms and said, “Honey, how did you know I was here to meet Lamont?”
“The bodyguards told me.” William smiled. “I have assigned bodyguards to protect you. Now, you don’t have to hide anything from me, do you understand?”
“Alright! Honey, do you know why he is looking for me? He lied and said that I was Archer’s daughter so that I would break up with you. He even said that Archer could transfer his company to me if I was willing to accept them as family.”
“Really?” William’s eyes turned cold.
“Yes, he even made up such a lie! It’s ridiculous! I told him that I wouldn’t mind recognising him as my dad and take over his properties, but he has to allow me to be with you. I won’t let things go his way! Hah! How could he think that I would break up with you just for a mere Saunders Enterprises? I also told him that I would never give you up for anything!”
William patted her head. “Valeria, he’s right. You’re really Archer’s daughter.”
“What?” Valeria looked at him surprisingly. She had thought that Lamont was lying to her just now, so she did not show any emotion and thought it was ridiculous. Now, she was astonished after hearing William’s words.
“Uh… Honey, don’t make fun of me!”
“I’m not joking with you. You are Archer’s daughter. I always didn’t know how to tell you this truth.”
He never knew how he could bring up this issue to her. Since Lamont had told her about it, he had nothing else to hide from her anymore.
“How is this possible? My mom and Archer… did she cheat on my dad?” Valeria was astonished.
She didn’t believe that Natalie would do such thing. It was unbelievable!
William knew her thoughts when he saw her expression, so he quickly explained.
“No! Your mom was pregnant, so she had to marry Ronald.”
“Are you lying to me? William, you don’t have to hide the truth from me. I’ll accept it if she really did so.”
He was afraid that Valeria would exhaust herself if she thought about this problem continuously, so he hugged her. “Valeria, your mom had no choice to do so. Savannah planned the marriage between Ronald and your mom because Archer was going against her. In the end, Archer saved your mom. Later on, she became pregnant. She couldn’t bear to leave her child, and she still needed to protect herself against Savannah, so she had to marry Ronald for peace. Their marriage is only in name as it is only a contractual marriage.”
His explanation made Valeria feel a little better. “When… did you find out all of this?”
“I knew about Ronald wasn’t your dad before we got the marriage certificate. After that, I found out about the incident regarding your mom and him later. Your mom is a good person, so don’t think about her negatively.”
“So is it true that I’m really Archer’s daughter? No wonder Ronald was so cruel to me, and they kept separating us. Alas! It turns out that I really can’t be with you!” Valeria murmured.
“Valeria, do you regret marrying me?” He stared at her. “I’m telling you, you’re already my wife. I won’t let you go unless I die!”
Valeria was startled by his words. She covered William’s mouth with her hand. “What are you talking about? I just thought… I don’t mind about it! We’ve already registered this marriage. I won’t leave you!”
Her words made him feel relieved. On the day when they were on the yacht, she once said that Michael and Abbie could not be together because of the seniority, so he had been thinking about this all the time. He was afraid that she would break up with him after knowing the truth.
Although she couldn’t accept it now, she didn’t ask for a breakup. Thus, he could finally let go of his worries!
Valeria was upset when she saw William sigh in relief. She knew that he cared about her, so he chose to hide it. In fact, she was angry with him for not telling this truth for a long time.
However, she didn’t want to say anything unpleasant when she saw his cautious expression.
He was such a proud person, and he had always treated her attentively. She could notice his worries as she was sensible.
However, this had a huge impact on her. After all, they had different seniority levels!
At least, Abbie and Michael were from the same generation. However, William and her seniority were different. Hence, this matter was too terrible.
She was agitated as she already thought of the rumours that they would spread if they announced their marriage to the public.
He felt a little worried when he saw her frown. He gently caressed her head. “I’ll handle it, so don’t worry. If it doesn’t work, we’ll migrate of here and never come back.”
How could she stop thinking about it? She was not emotionless! Besides, she felt that there had to be something else that he was hiding from her.
She sighed and said, “William Howard! Are you hiding a lot of things from me? Just tell me everything now so I can accept them all together!”
He hesitated for a moment before saying slowly, “Umm… Valeria, there’s one more thing. Raymond is your brother!”
“Of course! After all, I’m Archer’s daughter, so Raymond must be my brother!” She said sulkily.
“No, he’s your biological brother!”
