Chapter 472 Grew A Lot

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Hardy left without showing her any respect, and Talitha burst into tears.
Paisley took out a tissue and wiped her tears. “Talitha, don’t be angry. He’s not worth your tears!”
“How… how could I not be angry? Didn’t you hear him just now? That jerk actually said that he was a loser! Urgh! He’s the loser, ok?” Talitha cried.
“He’s so shameless! Everyone knows that he is a playboy, and there are so many rumours about him. So, how could he teach me a lesson like this! Boohoo…”
Paisley felt awkward when she heard Talitha calling William a playboy. How ridiculous!
She had always suspected that William was somehow related to the Wolf Group, but she had never been able to find evidence.
However, Raymond had confirmed that William was the Wolf Group’s president just now. Although she had expected this, she was still stunned when she heard it!
Even when Valeria came, she was not in the mood to deal with her because she had been thinking about William all the time.
Wow! William was Wolf Group’s president. Was there anyone in the country more powerful than him?
Although her older brother, Hardy, was powerful, he was nothing compared to the Wolf Group!
However, Valeria had managed to win over such a handsome and capable man like William. Paisley was pretty and talented, so how could she lose to her?
Valeria had no skills even though she had a pretty face! Thus, she didn’t deserve William!
No, she was the daughter of the Saunders family, and she owned shares in their company! Therefore, she could still be with William because of his status.
Paisley’s jealousy grew even more. How could Valeria be this lucky? She had such a good husband, and she also became part of such a powerful family!
After all, Paisley loved William deeply, so she would not blame him for anything. However, she could vent out her anger on Valeria!
While helping Talitha to wipe her tears, Paisley didn’t forget to bring Valeria up.
“Talitha, actually… William scolded you because of Valeria. She must have said something to him, so she’s the actual culprit behind this incident instead!”
After that, Talitha began to curse Valeria again. “Urgh! Why is she pretending to be innocent? Does she think that that playboy will stay with her for a long time? Is she daydreaming? When he gets tired of her, he will definitely dump her. I’ll make sure to watch her fall into her demise with her own eyes!”
“Yes! This will definitely happen!” Paisley also agreed.
She needed to find a solution now that she had confirmed William’s identity, so she was really not in the mood to deal with Talitha. Thus, she pulled Talitha up and said, “Let’s go.”
Talitha attended tonight’s party to meet Hardy, but since he already left, she would not stay anymore.
Paisley dragged Talitha, who had wiped her tears, and left the room. Meanwhile, the driver of the Anthony family had been waiting for them outside, and Talitha was calmer once she had gotten in the car.
She had been humiliated throughout tonight. Hardy probably left because he didn’t have any interest in her, right?
What should she do? She worried and asked Paisley, “Does your brother have a bad impression on me?”
“No, you are so beautiful! How could he not like you? He left early to avoid making a fool of himself as he was already drunk. In fact, he has always been well-behaved. That’s why I haven’t seen him acting inappropriately until now.”
“Really?”
“Why would I lie to you? Haha! I wonder if he is hiding somewhere and throwing up now.”
Talitha’s love for Hardy had blinded her, so she immediately believed the nonsense the Paisley had spouted.
Not only was she pretty, but she was also a secretary’s daughter as well as a member of the powerful Saunders family! Thus, there was no reason why Hardy would not fall for her!
Now that Hardy still had a good impression of her, she still stood a chance.
Meanwhile, Raymond, who was drunk and sleepy, was strapped on the passenger seat of William’s car.
Valeria was sitting in the back row as she leaned against William’s body. She reached out to touch his chin, but William pushed her hand away.
“Honey, are you angry? I didn’t do anything to anger you just now, right?”
“Heh!” He sneered. She didn’t provoke him directly, but she was talking to Hardy just now. Urgh! What the hell were they talking about?
Besides, she didn’t support him when Talitha was defaming him. This was all too annoying!
Valeria smiled cheekily and leaned over again. “Are you mad because of what Talitha said? Well… I was actually planning to defend you… by scolding her instead! Haha!”
“Is it her fault? You’re the one who made a mistake, and this has nothing to do with her at all!” William reminded her coldly.
“What? I thought you were mad because of Talitha! Huh? Did I do something wrong?”
“Urgh! You’re hopeless!” He pushed her away. “Stay away from me!”
“Why are you so short-tempered?” Valeria approached him again with another cheeky smile. “Honey, please tell me, alright? Why are you so mad?”
“Figure it out yourself!” William answered bluntly.
“Huh? But I have no idea! Other than not defending you when Talitha was bad-mouthing you, what did I do?”
Valeria was confused. However, she could tell that William was angrier now as he had moved over to the side.
She leaned over him again, but William pushed her away and said, “It’s time to reflect on your mistakes. You can only talk to me when you figure out that.”
“But I really didn’t do anything wrong…” She muttered.
Suddenly, Raymond started shouting because he was dizzy, “Stop! I’m going to vomit!”
Bobby braked the car immediately. Then, Raymond got out of the car and squatted at the roadside to vomit. William sneered, “Heh! Look at him!”
Valeria glared at him. She straight away gave tissue and mouthwash to Raymond.
Raymond felt much more comfortable after vomiting and then got on the car unsteadily. He smiled obsequiously when he saw William’s cold eyes. “I’m sorry… I didn’t ask Valeria to pick me up. Sorry for disturbing both of you…”
William replied to him harshly, “You useless brat!”
After that, Valeria also got into the car. She saw William embarrassing Raymond, and she could not take it anymore. “Hey! Watch your words! You’ve gotten drunk before, right? How could you say this to someone else?”
“Hah. Are you sure I’ve gotten drunk before? I don’t remember it, though. Besides, I will still be well-behaved when I’m drunk, and I will never blurt out any secrets to a stranger!”
William then rolled his eyes at her. “Also, I don’t want to talk to you now. So, stop trying to help others if you haven’t figured out your own mistake!”
“Look, can’t you talk to me properly? Is it because I didn’t scold Talitha? Why are you throwing a tantrum now?”
Valeria muttered. Then, Raymond suddenly became sober and said casually, “He… he’s angry with you because you talked to Hardy.”
