Chapter 479 Draw In

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

Lamont arrived quickly after her call. Thus, Valeria ordered Mason to leave with Lamont, and she went to look for William.
The three of them went separate ways after leaving the cate. Now that Mason had someone supporting him, he was not afraid anymore, so he removed his disguise before getting on Lamont’s car.
However, Paisley passed by coincidence. Thus, she was stunned when she saw Valeria’s car driving away while Mason getting on Lamont’s car.
Everyone knew that Valeria hated Mason so much. Now, he was sitting in Lamont’s car openly. What was going on?
Suddenly, Paisley found that this incident was suspicious when she remembered the news about Elizabeth’s car accident that she had seen this morning. She got into her car and drove back to Acma Corporation hurriedly.
She then parked her car and headed straight to Hardy’s office. “Hardy, I saw Mason and Valeria meeting at a cafe. He then left with Lamont. Do you know what’s going on?”
Hardy replied faintly, “What else could it be? Someone must have planned Elizabeth’s accident, so he knows that he’s in danger and asked her for help.”
“What? Why would he ask Valeria for help, and why would she help him? Did they decide to work together so that they could get rid of Savannah?”
“I think so. Savannah and Charles have done a lot of evil deeds over the years. As his wife, Elizabeth must know what he did. Also, Mason is Elizabeth’s nephew, so he knew about it too. Now, he has no choice but to tell Valeria all these to save himself.”
“Is that so?” Paisley understood. “I wonder what Mason knows about Savannah. If…”
Hardy lifted his eyelids and cut her off coldly. “It’s none of our business. You can’t interfere in the matters between the Saunders and the Howard family, so you’d better behave yourself.”
“I know!” Paisley was furious after Hardy had lectured her.
“If you get it, then you should stay away from Talitha! By the way, did Talitha and you spread the news about Abbie and Azalea fighting against each other?” He questioned.
“Huh? What does it have to do with me?” She refused to admit it.
Hardy’s face looked serious, and he scolded her angrily. “Alright, make sure that it has nothing do to with you. I’m giving you another warning. Talitha is too cunning, so you should stay away from her!”
When Paisley left Acma Corporation, she was furious. She did not listen to what Hardy had said at all!”
She would never stay away from Talitha before she had achieved her goal.
However, she had another problem to worry about now as Mason had teamed up with Valeria to get rid of Savannah.
Savannah was Hayden’s only daughter, so he would not allow anyone to scheme against her, no matter what. Therefore, Paisley decided to look for him and tell him about it so that he could think of a solution.
If he knew that Valeria was going to hurt Savannah, he would definitely hate her even more. Besides, he would pay more attention to Paisley and favour her even more if she told him about this.
Now that Hayden was helping her, she believed that she could win over William when Charles, Savannah, and the Howard family were on her side.
Meanwhile, Valeria went to meet William quickly and told him what Mason had said to her.
“Honey, it seems that Savannah was really behind your mother’s death. What should we do now? Mason has no evidence, but Elizabeth does. When will she wake up?”
William was obviously upset after hearing this. He thought for a while before saying, “She isn’t doing that well, so I don’t think that she’ll wake up.”
“Then what should we do? If we don’t have the evidence, we can’t bring Savannah to justice, right?”
“Don’t worry. There will be a solution.” Wiliam patted Valeria’s head and asked, “By the way, did you and Abbie fight with Azalea this afternoon?”
“No, we were eating, but she came over and started spouting nonsense. Abbie and I poured juice and soy sauce on her, and then she left unhappily.” Valeria then asked, “What happened? Did she complain to Michael?”
“No, Azalea didn’t tell this to Michael, but I think someone leaked news that you all humiliated her.”
“D*mn, Azalea is a b*tch that’s pretending to be innocent, so was she trying to set us up? Urgh! Isn’t she too shameless?” Valeria was furious.
“Azalea didn’t do it!” William shook his head. “She is not a fool, so she knows her limits. Besides, Richard will definitely suppress this news, so I don’t think it’ll harm Abbie. However, Azalea is a public figure, so this news definitely will ruin her reputation and her career!”
“Then, who would do this then? I mean, maybe she purposely did it as she guessed what you would think.” Valeria said angrily, “Honey, that b*tch is very arrogant! She deliberately provoked Abbie, and I remembered that Paisley did the same thing to me previously when she wanted to seduce you!”
Her words amused William. “Don’t worry, she won’t be able to do anything. However, you need to persuade Abbie when you have time. Michael is really treating her…”
“Stop! Don’t mention the jerk anymore. If he really wants to treat Abbie well, he needs to cut off all ties with Azalea!”
William shook his head when he saw how much Valeria detested Michael. “Well, can’t you think of it as doing me a favour? I’m your husband, after all?”
“No! Michael is a playboy, so he doesn’t deserve Abbie at all! Raymond is much better than him, and he likes her so much too.”
“No way! Michael and Abbie have been together for a long time, and they even slept together three years ago. Besides, she likes him very much. If she recovers her memory one day, she will definitely regret it. Thus, you’d better help her so that we can avoid this from happening!”
“Huh? Are you trying to trap me?” She didn’t believe him.
“How could I do so? Look, listen to me, alright? Stop badmouthing him in front of Abbie. Even if you don’t want to praise him, you shouldn’t talk bad about him. Otherwise, you’ll be embarrassed when they end up dating in the future!”
“Hah! Abbie won’t feel awkward with me. Besides, even though she insulted you before, we are still best friends now.” Valeria muttered.
William was speechless. How badly did Abbie badmouth him in front of Valeria? He pinched her face. “So, you were so cold to me because Abbie was getting in the way of our relationship? Hmm?”
“No! She just gave me advice. Besides, I can use my own judgement to make decisions,” Valeria explained.
“Humph! Who was the one who was playing hard to get at that time?” His expression darkened. “Now, as your husband, I’m ordering you to stay away from Abbie. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll leave you alone!”
“How dare you!”
“Why wouldn’t I? Look at how handsome I am, and I’m sure that a lot of women will like me…”
“Alright, I guess you’re trying to cheat on me now, huh? Wait for your punishment then!” Valeria also pinched William’s face. “Well then, you’re not allowed to touch me from tonight onwards!”
Meanwhile, Archer opened the door to see them flirting with each other. He then blushed and interrupted out of embarrassment.
William quickly withdrew his hand, but Valeria’s hand was still on his face. She complained angrily, “Dad, William is bullying me!”
