As Lucian thought about it, she put on an expression that showed that she was happy for Valeria, “Thank the Heavens! That’s great! I’ve been worried about Valeria all this time, and I kept on asking Braelynn about her. I’m relieved after knowing that she’s alright!”
Sitting next to her, Braelynn saw through her act and was extremely disgusted.
She had been very respectful towards her adopted mother because she had given her a second chance at life, so she was obedient towards her. However, Lucian’s recent actions made her doubt her thoughts on her.
Seeing her inquisitively probing for information about William and Valeria, Braelynn guessed that she had a new plan. It was funny to watch her think that she was smart enough to fool them, but in reality, she was the one being fooled. Natalie’s meeting with Lucian today was definitely not a coincidence.
Braelynn really didn’t want to see her foolish act anymore, so she got up and went to the bathroom.
Lucian was constantly restraining herself in front of Braelynn, so she didn’t have to worry anymore after she left for the bathroom. In order to find out about William and Valeria, she asked Natalie, “Valeria and William are so in love with each other. Now that he is back, are they going to get married?”
“It’s not that easy,” Natalie sighed, “Although he is back, he doesn’t remember her!”
“What? Why not?” Lucian pretended to be surprised.
Natalie knew what Lucian wanted to ask, so she immediately played along.
“I don’t know either. Maybe he hurt his head in the car accident, or maybe it was because of something else. Anyway, he doesn’t remember Valeria now, and he feels extreme pain when he hears her name. The doctors haven’t found anything wrong with his examinations either, so it’s really worrying.”
“How can this happen? Valeria must be very sad, right?” Lucian asked sympathetically.
“Yes, of course, but she’s still happy to hear that he’s alive. Although he doesn’t remember her, he doesn’t treat her badly, and she is willing to do anything for him, so she decided to change her name to avoid him from suffering after hearing her name.”
“That’s such a good idea! To be frank, she should have changed her name a long time ago since she’s part of the Saunders family!” Lucian said, looking happy for Valeria.
Natalie sneered in her heart and felt stupid for treating Lucian as her best friend throughout these years and giving her the opportunity to scheme against her and her family.
She thought to herself, “Just wait and see how I’ll deal with you!”
After the meal, Natalie gave Lucian her phone number and left.
Lucian saw Natalie’s car drive away and got into her car after saying goodbye to Braelynn. After she started her car engine, she immediately called Devon, “I saw her!”
“When?” Devon was very interested.
“Just now! I went to ask Braelynn about Valeria, and I didn’t expect her to come to the company. She has recovered most of her memories and even remembered me.”
Devon was very surprised to hear that. Since he was also an experienced schemer, he felt that something was wrong, “She remembered you? That’s so strange. Are you sure it’s not a trap?”
“It can’t be. I’ve been with her for more than ten years, and I know her very well. She won’t tolerate any bullsh*t. If she knew what we have done, she wouldn’t have acted like that with me today. Besides, she’s Archer’s wife now, and I have nothing. It’s easy for her to deal with me, so she doesn’t need to trick me, right?”
“That’s true. So, what are you going to do next?” he asked.
“I’ll go with the flow. She still has her guard down in front of me as she did in the past, and she has already told me many things, including what would happen to William if he heard Valeria’s name and his memory loss. She also told me about Valeria’s name change and claimed that William still has feelings for her.”
Hearing Lucian’s words, he immediately asked, “She also said that to Raelyn, and now I’m worried about it. Why does the drug have no effect on him?”
Lucian didn’t know much about the vermin, so she said, “I don’t know either. Why don’t you ask Gonzalec about it? Didn’t he buy it from his grandfather? If he doesn’t know, we can ask his grandfather.”
“I was also thinking to ask him about it first. By the way, since Natalie remembers you, you need to contact her more often to get more information from her,” he reminded.
She said as-a-matter-of-factly, “I know, you don’t have to remind me about that. Now, the most urgent thing is to figure out what’s going on with William. If your daughter can’t control him now, she won’t be able to do anything in the future.”
Devon sighed and said, “I don’t know how to approach that either. It’s also important to contact Gonzalec right now. I’ve never come into contact with him, so it will be best if you did it.”
“Okay, I’ll be in charge of that!” she agreed.
In the Wolf Group’s suite, William was in his study room doing some work when Valeria pushed open the door and came in with some cherries, “Honey, let’s have some fruits!”
“I don’t want any, you have it by yourself!”
“I’ll feed you!” she immediately stuffed one in his mouth, and he had no way to refuse her, so he ate it.
However, she was not satisfied. She squeezed out the juice and smeared it on his lips like lipstick.
He had no choice but to allow her to do whatever she wanted. After she was done applying the juice all over his lips, she tilted his head and commented, “My dear, you look so attractive with red lips like this! I’m seduced.”
“Really? Why don’t you have a taste?”
“I’m about to!” she said mischievously as she leaned in to lick his lips.
He took her into his arms and began to kiss her passionately. However, she was taken by surprise and pushed him away when she heard Bobby and Marcus’s voice from outside.
William burst into laughter, “Weren’t you acting so bold just now? Now you’re scared?”
Marcus did not dare to enter the room when he heard Bobby say that Valeria was inside, so he knocked on the door and went in after William allowed him to. When he saw that William’s lips were red with cherry juice, he could not help but laugh, “Am I disturbing you guys?”
“What do you think?” William asked.
“I’m here for business, very important business!” Marcus clarified because he was afraid that he actually disturbed them.
Seeing that Marcus was here, Valeria stopped fussing around and left. William looked at him and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I have some documents you need to sign, and I want to report to you about Talitha’s situation.”
Marcus smiled as he sat down opposite William, “Everything has been arranged according to your instructions. Talitha met Paisley and told her about the pregnancy, and Paisley was very surprised to hear the news and immediately accompanied Talitha to the hospital for an examination. They parted ways, and Paisley immediately rushed to Acma Corporation to find Hardy. As expected, he will probably meet with Talitha soon to tell her to abort the baby.”
“So something interesting will happen tonight?” William was in high spirits.
