Valeria frowned as she was not interested in it and said, “Let’s talk about it tomorrow. I’m busy right now.”
“It’s a very important matter,” Lucian panicked a little upon seeing Valeria’s attitude.
“Really? Let’s go over there, then,” Valeria finally stood up and they left the table.
They went inside a room and Valeria signaled Lucian as they entered. “What do you want to tell me?” Valeria went straight to the point.
“It’s about Savannah. Ms. Brown, I’ve received news that Savannah and Raelyn had teamed up together. Savannah is planning to commit suicide to stir things up here.”
“Well, she can do what she wants, then. What does it have to do with me?” Valeria had an ignorant and unfazed expression.
“She isn’t just committing suicide, but she is planning to push Hayden into a corner and force him to stand up for her. She was caught red-handed when she tried to drug him last time, so she’s trying to patch things up. She joined forces with Raelyn and they came out with this plan,” Lucian did not reveal everything as she knew that Valeria was aware of the incident about Hayden.
“I heard that Savannah had recorded a footage of her attempting suicide and intends to put the blame on President Saunders and President Garcia. The footage will be sent to Hayden tonight to gain his trust and sympathy.”
Valeria squinted her eyes and asked, “Who did you hear this from?”
“I know about their plan as I have planted some of my men around Raelyn,” Lucian exaggerated to try to prove her capabilities.
“Is that so? Could you tell me who exactly did you get your information from?” Out of Lucian’s expectations, Valeria focused on who had been planted at Raelyn’s side and showed no interest in Savannah’s plan.
This made Lucian anxious, but she replied, “I heard it from Raelyn’s driver.”
“A driver? Savannah and Raelynn aren’t that foolish, so why would they let a driver know such a big secret?” Valeria was full of doubts.
“Ms. Brown, this isn’t the time to be suspicious. You should notify President Saunders immediately so that he can think of something. We should stop Savannah from carrying out her plans!”
Valeria sighed as she looked at Lucian, who was desperate, “My father and I can’t do anything about it. Savannah’s video has already been leaked into the internet and is now gradually being stirred up.”
“What? When did that happen?” Lucian was stunned.
“It was released half an hour ago. Would you like to have a look?” Valeria smirked before she continued, “It is a rather ridiculous video.”
As she said this, Valeria took out her phone, and Savannah’s video appeared on the screen.
In the video, Savannah expressed her hardships and how she had lost her will to live pitifully. However, she did not mention a word about how she was being forced into a corner by Archer and William.
The video was undoubtedly edited as it was entirely different from what Lucian had heard from Devon.
“What… what’s going on?” Lucian was shocked after watching the video.
According to Devon, Savannah had indeed agreed to record herself attempting suicide, but she did not intend to follow Raelyn’s plan entirely and it was obvious that Savannah had second thoughts about Raelyn.
Initially, Lucian had wanted to gain Valeria’s trust by telling her Savannah’s plan beforehand, but it went out of the window as Savannah had messed things up for her.
Wasn’t the video only meant for Hayden? How did it end up on the internet?
Lucian was confused, but on the other hand, Valeria was well aware that all this was meticulously planned by her husband.
Savannah had wanted to clear things up by staging suicide and she had gotten her to wish now as her video had gone viral.
William had informed his men to edit Savannah’s video before releasing it on the internet. This video was entirely different from the one that Hayden had received.
The version that Hayden received was about how Savannah was being framed by Archer and William, as well as being harassed and bullied by Ronald. Because of this, she had lost all hope to live and she had no choice but to take her own life to prove that she was innocent.
However, the suicide video on the internet conveniently disregarded the initial contents and only broadcasted her farewell to Hayden tearfully.
Soon, the video spread like wildfire on the internet under William’s influence.
At the same time, Hayden had also received the actual version of the video when the edited version was being leaked out on the internet.
As soon as Hayden watched it, he would definitely be anxious and would look for Savannah everywhere. However, as soon as he found out about the truth, he would no longer believe Savannah after he realized that it was all an act she had put on to deceive him.
Right now, Raelyn had to scratch the idea of turning her back against Savannah tonight and it was all up to her now to decide how she should deal with Savannah, who knew too much about her secrets.
Lucian had made a fool out of herself but Valeria didn’t care about how humiliated she was.
“You’re getting old now, and you’re not as bright as before. You should watch your back to avoid being used by others. By the way, I heard that you’re out of a job? Do you need any help? Why are you dressed like this tonight, anyway? Braelynn should have bought something nice for you. What’s this style you’re wearing? If my mother remembers you, she would be heartbroken to see you like this.”
Lucian felt that she was being hissed upon despite Valeria’s tone was full of sympathy and tenderness.
Lucian suppressed her anger and replied, “Thank you for your concern, Ms. Brown. I’m doing fine.”
“Alright, do not hesitate to ask if you need my help. Mom doesn’t remember anything now. Luckily, she still remembers me and my dad. If not, it would be a mess for us.” Valeria rubbed her forehead before she continued, “Alright, let’s not dwell over the sad stuff. Let’s go have a drink and enjoy the party. It’s a happy occasion, after all.”
Then, Lucian followed Valeria out of the room and as soon as they stepped outside, they bumped into Natasya and Raelyn, who had just cleaned themselves up.
Raelyn was shocked at first, but she sneered after giving Lucian a good look and said, “Oh my, isn’t this Lucian, the legendary assistant of President Garcia’s? How did you end up like this?”
Lucian looked at Raelyn coldly and replied, “Mrs. Anderson, you look dazzling tonight. However, I heard that things aren’t going well for you. How could you still be in the mood to celebrate tonight?”
Both of them did not see eye to eye and provoked each other whenever an opportunity arose.
Valeria did not want to get her hands dirty and wasn’t interested in getting between Lucian and Raelyn, so she pretended to check her phone before saying, “Abbie is looking for me. Please make yourself comfortable, Lucian. Just look for the attendants if you need anything.”
After that, Valeria left immediately with no intention of having any interaction with Raelyn and Natasya.
Raelyn’s expression darkened as Valeria had completely ignored Natasya and her. She dismissed Lucian’s existence and snapped, “Where are her manners? Such an ill-mannered and uncultured woman!”
