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

Natasya only came out of her room when Hardy had left their suite. She asked with a gloomy face, “Is that piece of shit finally gone?”
“Excuse me?” Talitha frowned and stared at Natasya.
“I don’t feel comfortable upon the sight of him. He is not allowed to set foot here from now onwards.”
“Why?” Talitha asked.
“Stop talking back to me. Didn’t he suggest you living at his villa? Well then, accept his idea and move in with him right now. Why would you continue staying here with us?”
“What’s wrong with you?” Natasya had been talking ill about Hardy and intended to drive Talitha out from the suite. Talitha was feeling upset and said, “Natasya, this is not the time for you to act like a spoiled princess. Shouldn’t you feel grateful? How could you possibly have a place to stay if I did not tell Hardy about our current circumstances? You not only take things for granted and even has the guts to boss others around. Who do you think you are? Aren’t you aware of your ridiculous reputation right now?”
Natasya sprung up with anger and raised her voice, “I dare you to say it one more time!”
“Fine! Natasya, your reputation has been shattered into pieces, and men in their right mind would not marry you. I will persuade Hardy to give you a permanent job if you change your temper and behave yourself. You can eventually find an ordinary man to be your husband. However, I will give you hell if you get onto my nerves!”
“Girls, why would you quarrel with each other again? Can you both please cut it out?” It was wise for Raelyn to remain neutral and she tried her best to ease the tension.
“Mummy, she has started it first and you clearly heard about it just now. She cussed Hardy out and even tried to get rid of me. How dare she?” Talitha questioned.
Raelyn calmed her down and said, “Talitha, your sister is in a bad mood today, and just let it go. We are a family, remember?”
“What? Am I the one who has made her moody? She should blame herself as her incapability has made her into this mess. Mummy, didn’t you warn her several times before things went out of control? Why would she blame others for her own mistake?”
Talitha was at an advantageous point and no longer needed to constrain her feelings. She cut straight to the chase and criticized Natasya without any mercy.
“She has not only failed to gain control on William but was instead being lured into his trap. Natasya, the internet is full of footage and photos of you being harassed by the beggar. I would even feel embarrassed if I were you! Don’t you think it’s time for you to change your bad temper? Do you possibly think that the world revolves around you? Aren’t you aware of your current pitiful circumstances? Mummy, either a widower or a poor man would be willing to marry her judging by her shattered reputation. I have a solid point, don’t I?”
“Talitha, I’ll kill you!” Natasya was so pissed upon being humiliated by Talitha. She wanted to hit Talitha but was halted by Raelyn, “Alright, alright. Cut it out! You are both sisters and blood is always thicker than water. Why would you both give each other such a hard time?”
“Don’t even mention it. Since when did Natasya treat me as her sister? She has bullied and looked down on me ever since young. You and dad also think that I am an incapable person and have always been biased towards Natasya. Look how things have eventually turned out to be. I doubt that no one would dare to treat me with disrespect from now onwards!”
Talitha did not suppress her feelings and went all out, “You and dad had always counted on Natasya to be successful in life but now the tables have turned. Natasya, I am no longer an easy target and Hardy is currently my boyfriend! I will eventually marry him and be part of the Anthony family. This hotel would eventually be mine too and don’t you dare irritate me. I have the power to get rid of you!”
Natasya was so pissed at Talitha and wanted to slap her but was unfortunately stopped by Raelyn. She was so upset until she had suddenly passed out.
Valeria and Bobby had gone for a stroll as they wanted to give some privacy for Sammuel and William. However, she suddenly received a call from Archer the moment she left the restaurant. She was instructed to make her way to the clubhouse of the Saunders family.
Bobby immediately sent her over after Valeria ended the phone call. She was being escorted by someone when she reached the clubhouse and headed straight to Archer’s office.
Archer was in the midst of a phone call and gestured for Valeria to have a seat upon her arrival. She was instantly being served a glass of her favorite juice. Archer finally ended the call when Valeria was halfway through her juice.
She placed the glass down and cut straight to the chase, “Dad, you did not call me here just to treat me a glass of fruit juice, right?”
“Of course not. Your mother will also arrive later as well as the Davis family. We would have a short meetup session with them soon.”
“Which member of the Davis family would be coming later? Would Michael’s mother be present too?”
“Yes. Stanty had called and apologized to me just now. It’s not wise for us to not take a step back as he has proposed to come all the way here to meet with us later. We have to be the bigger person for the sake of Michael, right?”
“Why would you drag me into this matter? What does this have to do with me when it is between the Saunders and Davis Family?” Valeria was not looking forward to seeing Meadow later. She was still upset upon thinking about how Meadow had disrespected Abbie during the phone call last time. She coldly continued, “Dad, have you forgotten that I am part of the Howard family now? It is really unnecessary for me to be present later.”
“I know, but you are also the eldest daughter of the Saunders family. We have always been friendly with the Davis family but things got ugly because you have scolded Meadow last time. She caused a scene as she wanted to vent her anger and dissatisfaction. You were also at fault, right?”
“Wait, do you actually want me to make up with Meadow? I shall make it clear that I do not intend to apologize! My husband would support me too!”
“What are you talking about? How could I do that to you? I will never let you be humiliated even without your husband’s support. We not only plan to mend things with the Davis Family, but to also acknowledge your importance in the Saunders family.”
“But, I am really not a fan of Meadow! I genuinely dislike her judging by how bad she had treated Abbie!”
“Valeria, calm down. You are married to William and would eventually be the president’s wife of Wolf Group. Are you going to shy away from business matters forever? William still has to control his emotions despite being the president of Wolf Group as one of the most influential companies here. You ought to treat the meetup session later as a practice for you to have a smooth transition of being the president’s wife in the future.”
“My husband will always let me have the final say!” Valeria muttered and vented her dissatisfaction. However, she would not leave right now as she was already there. She then sent a message to William, “Honey, I was instructed by my father to meet with Michael’s parents at the clubhouse later. I don’t think that I am able to head back home tonight.”
“Alright, I’ll attend the meetup session too. See you tonight!” Valeria felt relieved upon receiving his reply.
