Declan was extremely shocked. He didn’t expect Talitha would be pregnant. Most importantly, he didn’t even think that Natasya would do such a ridiculous thing as stealing Hardy from Talitha. Declan’s eyes widened when he heard one of their faces was ruined, “Who’s disfigured?”
“The elder sister.”
Hearing that it was Natasya whose face was ruined, he was relieved. Luckily, it was not his daughter, Talitha.
Declan figured that if Natasya was disfigured, she shouldn’t stand a chance to compete with Talitha for Hardy.
Just as he was secretly happy about that, the criminal added, “The sister was disfigured so she’s definitely going to ruin everything. I heard a few days ago that the elder sister is going to teach her sister a lesson. It’s said that she knows her sister’s secret, it looks like the younger one is going to get into trouble.”
“What secret?” Declan asked curiously.
“It seems that the baby in the younger sister’s belly does not belong to Hardy. She secretly went through the IVF process at the hospital in order to get into a higher position. The news is already spreading outside, even the forums and websites are full of the news. Everyone suspects that it’s the elder sister who did everything.”
“How could this be? Why are they killing each other?” Declan muttered.
Declan and Devon were very close and Declan had always respected Devon. He had never done anything to hurt Devon. All he hoped was that Talitha and Natalya could be as close as he and Devon.
However, the relationship between Natasya and Talitha had always been bad. Before Declan got into the incident, Talitha had complained about Natasya in front of him several times. She always said that Natasya wasn’t good to her. At that time, Declan didn’t think much, he just comforted Talitha. But now, who would be the one comforting Talitha when she was bullied like this?
When Declan thought about this, he was really upset. However, after thinking about the matter for a while, it seemed really strange.
He wondered why did they suddenly change him into a room that had two other prisoners? He had always been locked up alone before this. Moreover, they seemed to talk about his family’s matters on purpose, was someone plotting against him?
Thinking of that, Declan suddenly became alert. He figured that maybe someone was trying to send him a message. If so, the other party must have other purposes. Thinking of that, Declan’s worry for Talitha reduced.
Hayden left with Lucas after agreeing to let Valeria invite Abbie and Braelynn to go over to their house for hotpot dinner.
Abbie and Braelynn arrived half an hour after Hayden left. The two of them entered the living room and Abbie gave Valeria a thumbs up after she saw her, “You’re the only person that can make Hayden say yes and make room for us to have a party in your house.”
“I wasn’t expecting him to give us the whole space, I just want to meet you and Braelynn together. Hayden didn’t agree to let me go out, saying that I could hire a chef to cook at home. I thought that it would be so boring so I said that I would go to your house to cook myself. Then, he told me that you guys can come here to have dinner, how could I reject him, right?”
“Alright, alright. Stop complaining, I know that Hayden pampers you a lot. It’s fine that William pampers you since you’re his wife, but now, your father-in-law also treats you like a princess, I’m so envious of you!”
Braelynn couldn’t help but laugh after hearing Abbie’s words, “Stop it, let’s start to prepare the ingredients first, shall we?”
“Oh! Let’s go out to buy some ingredients and take a ride,” Abbie said excitedly.
“Hayden told me to let the servant prepare the ingredients. He said that we could tell her what we need,” Valeria said awkwardly.
Abbie immediately refused, “No no, that won’t do. Isn’t this a bit too boring? We can go and buy the ingredients ourselves if he’s worried, the servants can tag along.”
Abbie insisted on bringing Valeria and Braelynn to buy the ingredients together, so the servant had to call Hayden and ask for permission.
At last, Hayden agreed, he even asked the servant to bring a few bodyguards along with them.
Finally, everyone was able to go out. They were going to drive Hayden’s RV out. When Abbie got into the car, she couldn’t help but say, “Thanks to Valeria, I can’t believe I’m sitting in a luxurious RV only to go out and buy groceries. This is awesome, who knows, we might be on the headlines.”
Valeria glared at her, “Please don’t say this.”
“I’m just telling the truth! This RV belongs to your father-in-law and now we’re driving it to buy groceries. I’ve already thought of a title for the paparazzi, it’ll be ‘The Howard Family’s Daughter-in-Law Drives an RV to Buy Groceries with Her Bodyguards’.”
Braelynn laughed, and Valeria also couldn’t help but join them.
The car headed straight to the largest market in B City.
Angel was in a bad mood after being scolded. She couldn’t stay in the room any longer, so she took two bodyguards with her to take a walk outside.
She was not familiar with B City and did not know where to go. She just let the bodyguards drive and wander on the road.
When they passed a crossroad, Valeria’s RV was waiting for the red light at the intersection. When Angel saw Valeria through the window, she was stunned and immediately ordered the bodyguard, “Follow the car in front.”
Hearing Angel’s words, the bodyguard immediately follows the RV. Angel didn’t expect the RV to drive all the way into the biggest farmer’s market.
After stopping the car in the market’s parking lot, the bodyguards opened the car door as well as bowed respectfully for Valeria and her friends to get down.
The luxurious car, the number of bodyguards, coupled with Valeria, Abbie, and Braelynn’s beautiful appearance, soon attracted people to stop and stare.
Someone in the crowd recognized Hayden’s car plate and said, “This is Hayden Howard’s car! Who is this young lady that came down?”
“I don’t know! They drove such a luxurious car to the market to buy groceries, they are really super rich!”
“Their life is something that we can’t even imagine! I heard the servant who followed them addressed the prettiest lady as ‘Miss Howard’. She must be Hayden’s daughter-in-law then!”
“That’s right, I heard the bodyguard told her to be careful of her steps. It seems that the Howard family pampers her a lot! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have driven the RV and brought so many of her bodyguards with her just to buy groceries.”
After listening to what the crowd said, Angel felt bitter and picked up her mobile phone to record a video secretly.
Seeing that Valeria and the others entered the market, she put on her cap, sunglasses and zipped her jacket up to cover her face. She then got out of the car and followed them into the market after that.
Valeria, Abbie, and Braelynn who were accompanied by the servant and bodyguards began to pick up ingredients in the farmer’s market after that.
The three of them were all foodies, and soon they were carrying a few bags of groceries. The bodyguards and the servant had a lot in their hands too.
When Valeria saw the mushroom that Hayden loved, she immediately tell the servant to buy them for Hayden, “Dad likes this a lot, I’ll buy some and cook them for him tomorrow. Also, this…”
The servant was surprised to see that Valeria was so familiar with Hayden’s preference, “Miss Howard, how do you know what Mr. Howard likes?”
“I noticed it when we were eating. I’ve remembered everything he likes,” Valeria replied with a small smile.
“I see, that’s wonderful. If Mr. Howard knew, he would definitely be very happy.”
Then, Abbie interrupted from the side, “Wow, Valeria, you really are something else. I’ve always been worried about you, I never expect you to be so good at observing things!”
“I can’t even if I don’t want to, I need to know how to make him happy. After all, my father-in-law is the most important person in my family. What if he gives me a hard time?”
Abbie and Braelynn both laughed when they heard what Valeria said. At the same time, Angel was following them with her bodyguard. She snorted when she heard Valeria’s words.
Angel had no idea that Valeria was just joking. She thought that Valeria was indeed very evil and hard to deal with.
