Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 

“Oh? Valerie, you’re married?” Marcus took off his sunglasses in surprise and sized Valerie up. 

Ashley made sarcastic remarks at the side. That’s right. She went out to work and got married. It’s fine if she knows him well, but he is only a poor driver. Although he has a house, I don’t know when he’ll finishoving the mortgage.” 

“No way, Valerie. You’re so pretty and smart. I did’t expect you to be so muddle- headed in important matters in your life… Marcus looked regretful, but he was mocking Valerie. 

After Julian and Ashley were married, Marcus also came to Kranson City to develop. When he saw that Valerie was beautiful, he even tried to pursue her. Now that he saw that Valerie was in dire straits, he felt like he had vented his anger. 

Marcus had beaten his classmate in the head before he even finished high school. That was why he had dropped out of school. He had not achieved anything and was just a hooligan. 

Although Ruth did not like Valerie, she looked down on Marcus even more. She still hoped to sell Valerie for a good price. No matter what, she could not let a hooligan like Marcus ruin Valerie. She was so angry that she beat Marcus up and told him to stay far away from Valerie. 

Nobody would have thought that Marcus would become so rich after only a few years. Ashley said he had earned nearly 100 thousand dollars in the first half of th year alone. Ruth was filled with regret when she looked at the Mercedes. However it was too late to talk about this now. Ruth held the gold vase and thought that Marcus was quite sensible and probably did not bear any grudges about what happened back then. She made up her mind to curry favor with Marcus. 

Valerie listened to their conversation, especially when Marcus mocked her. She could not be bothered to get angry and only felt that it was noisy. 

At this moment, Julian came over to them. He said that since most people had arrived, they could enter the event hall and sit down. 

Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked in. Valerie walked to Julian’s side ar

said, “Julian, if there’s something you need help with, let me know.” 

“I’ve already arranged everything. It’s fine. Co sit,” Jo in said. 

“Sure.” Valerie nodded.

Valerie found a corner and asked for a glass of water. She took small sips and did not care about the commotion around her. However, even if she did not speak, she stood out like a sore thumb. The aunts felt it was a pity and could not help but persuade her. 

“Valerie, you’re so beautiful. Why did you have to marry a driver?” one of them said. 

“Valerie, although you are married to that driver, you didn’t hold a wedding after all. If you divorce him later, no one in our hometown will know. It’s not too late for you to find someone better,” another remarked. 

A third voice added, “That’s right. I heard from your sister–in–law the driver can’t even take out the betrothal gift and wants you to pay the mortgage. He probably doesn’t earn much a month. How are you going to live like this…” 

Valerie slowly put down the glass and looked up at her relatives. She said calmly, “Don’t worry about me. My husband is a good person, and I don’t have to pay the mortgage. He gives me living expenses every month and helps me with the housework, so I don’t plan to get a divorce. 

Valerie sighed inwardly, telling herself to hang in there. 

Everyone looked at each other and sighed. They thought to themselves that the driver had to have bewitched Valerie to make Valerie so stubborn. 

Valerie did not explain further. She knew that although her relatives were busybodies, they were concerned about her. However, they did not know who Matthew was, so it was normal for them not to believe her. The hardest thing in the world was to convince others. She did not intend to waste her effort. They would find out eventually. 

Ashley looked at Valerie’s calm expression and secretly cursed Valerie for being so good at pretending. Valerie was probably furious but still pretended to be calm. Ashley thought about how she had embarrassed herself during the last meal. No
