Chapter 116
The next day, Valeria woke up in the early morning, washed up, and changed. She did not even have time to eat breakfast before preparing to go to the law office.
Valeria hurriedly went downstairs and saw Ella and Alex eating breakfast in the dining room. As Valeria put on her shoes, she told them, “I won’t be having breakfast. You guys eat. By the way, Ella, stay home and don’t go out. If your husband comes to look for you again, call the police first and then call me.”
Although there were many things Valeria had to handle for the past few days, Ella’s domestic violence problem was important as well. Valeria had to be involved.
Ella, who was in the dining room, looked at her phone, stood up, and walked up to Valeria. “Valeria, is this you?”
“Hmm? What?”
Valeria looked confused and had no idea what had happened. Valeria took Ella’s phone and saw a surveillance video clip. It was the surveillance video of her going to Cheryl’s house that night. The video showed the moment Valeria entered the door and hit Cheryl, until the moment after Valeria left and Cheryl walked out with blood all over her face.
This surveillance video led everyone to believe that Valeria had barged into Cheryl’s house like a vile woman and disfigured Cheryl before she left.
Valeria’s eyes widened in shock. Valeria opened the comments section below the video. All the comments were scolding and criticizing Valeria.
“I heard this woman is the new lover of James Group’s Hackett James. Look at her. She even dares to disfigure a female celebrity. Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she has Hackett James behind her?”
“This video shows that this is the woman who disfigured Cheryl Yeats‘ face. It happened within such a short time frame. She’s really ruthless!”
“What kind of taste does Hackett James have? Does he like a bitch like this over Cheryl? No matter what, Cheryl is still a female celebrity. Are female celebrities so worthless now?”
“I heard through the grapevine that this new lover is a lawyer. Even then, she broke the law! I think Cheryl should sue her!” Looking at the comments in the comments section, Valeria was so angry that her hand holding Ella’s phone was trembling. Valeria wondered how the netizens had managed to twist the story this way.
Valeria looked at Cheryl’s bloody face in the video. Valeria had not expected Cheryl to be so ruthless as to injure herself. “Mommy, what are you looking at?”
Alex jumped down from his chair, leaving his half–eaten breakfast on the table, and walked toward her, wanting to snatch her phone to look at it.
Valeria came back to her senses and returned the phone to Ella. “Eat your breakfast and be good, go to school after that. Mommy has some work to do, so I have to go to the office now.”
Following that, Valeria pulled Ella to one side. “Don’t let Alex see such things. I can’t explain anything to you now, but I can tell you that I didn’t disfigure her face.”
Ella nodded. “I believe you. The Valeria I know isn’t that kind of person.”
“Thank you.”

At such a time that Valeria–was the target of public criticism, it was really touching that someone still believed in her unconditionally.
Valeria turned around and left the villa, planning to go directly to the hospital.

At the hospital, Cheryl’s wound was still recovering. The ugly scar made Cheryl not want to look in the mirror every day.
The doctor reminded her, “Remember not to get your wound wet…”
“When can the scar be repaired? How long do I have to be like this?” Cheryl could not take it anymore, and she began to regret being so ruthless.
The doctor said, “Well… we will have to wait until the wound heals at least. It’ll take about two months since the cut on your face is quite deep.”
“Two months?” Cheryl thought.
Cheryl did not give up and asked again, “Just tell me the truth. How much can this scar be repaired?”
Of course, Cheryl wanted her face to be as good as new, but…
The doctor was very professional and told the truth. “To be honest, there’s no way to estimate it. It also depends on a person’s recovery ability and the effect of the treatment. However, I can tell you that there’s no way to recover to its original state. At most, it can recover to 60 or 70 percent. Moreover, this is under the condition that the treatment effect is at its best.”
“What? Only 60 to 70 percent?”
Cheryl was shocked and looked at the doctor in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that there was only a 60 to 70 percent recovery rate.
“What kind of lousy hospital is this? I want to go overseas for treatment. I want to change hospitals!”
Cheryl cried as she turned around and left the doctor’s consultation room. Cheryl did not want this at all. She still wanted to be Hackett’s beautiful bride.
At this moment, Cheryl’s heart was filled with regret. Cheryl wondered why she had made such a stupid decision that night and disfigured her face.
Cheryl cried as she returned to her ward. However, Cheryl ran into Valeria.
Upon hearing footsteps, Valeria turned around and saw Cheryl. However, when Valeria saw Cheryl’s face, she was shocked.
Cheryl was really ruthless.
“Valeria Sharp! What are you doing here?” Cheryl was furious when she saw Valeria. Cheryl felt that Valeria was the reason why she was in this state now.
Valeria looked at the deep scar on Cheryl’s face and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so ruthless to yourself just to frame me. How could you do that? Do you not want your face anymore?”
“You did this to my face, and you still dare to come and mock me? Valeria Sharp, how can you be so shameless? You vicious woman!” Cheryl cried.
“You know better than anyone whether I was the one who disfigured your face. I’m here to tell you that I won’t take the blame for this. I
