Valerie walked up directly to Rowan and said, "Are you Rowan?"
Rowan asked, "Yes, and you are?"
Valerie sneered, "You look like a real piece of work, ut didn't do anything worthwhile!"
Rowan was stunned. "Why are you being so insulting?"
"Insulting? I'm doing you a favor by not hitting you! You thief, you stole Mr. Morse's formula and still have the nerve to show off. Where is your conscience? You're truly a worthless scoundrel!" Valerie scolded.
As Valerie scolded him, Rowan looked her up and down. He didn't recognize her at all. But seeing her pregnant and defending Danny so fiercely, he suddenly understood and couldn't help but show a look of disdain.
Rowan said, "Oh, so you're here to back Danny up. Quite something, standing here with your big belly to defend your lover!
"That old man keeps talking about his wife, claiming he's unlucky, deeply in love with her, and won't look at another woman or consider remarrying. Yet, here he is, shacked up with a woman like you and got you pregnant! He's a complete hypocrite!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Valerie, furious, slapped him across the face with all her might, causing one side of Rowan's face to swell immediately.
Rowan was enraged. "You filthy woman, how dare you hit me! I'll make sure you regret this!"
He raised his hand to strike back, but Valerie was surrounded by four or five bodyguards who quickly cornered Rowan. Rowan was taken aback. "You... If you dare come closer, I..."
The bodyguards kicked him to the ground.
One of the bodyguards said, "You filthy bastard, open your eyes wide and see who you've offended! How dare you be disrespectful to Mrs. Grant here!"
Hearing this, Rowan panicked and scrambled to his feet. "You wait! I'll make sure Danny has no place to hide!"
The bodyguards were furious. "You piece of shit! Don't run!"
Rowan was terrified, fleeing without a trace, not caring about the pain.
Valerie took a deep breath and told the bodyguards, "Let him go. Don't chase a desperate enemy!"
She was shocked that Danny had hired such a person. A vile traitor like Rowan had taken advantage of the famous winemaker. It was disgusting.
Valerie knew that catching Rowan now wouldn't help. Since he had stolen the formula, no matter who he sold it to, the formula was no longer safe.
Valerie took a deep breath and found Danny. Seeing his downcast face, she felt a pang of sympathy.
Danny said, "Miss Warren, you're here! I'm truly a failure. I was actually betrayed..."
He smiled bitterly.
Valerie shook her head. "Mr. Morse, don't say that!"
Danny forced a smile. "Look at me. People say I'm famous, but look at my life. My wife is dead, my daughter is sick, and now even my apprentice has betrayed me. I'm a complete failure! Accomplished nothing, and my family is falling apart!"
Danny sat on the steps outside the church, looking dejected and lost.
Valerie knew the blow was too severe for him. To lose everything he had worked for all his life was crushing for anyone.
Valerie said, "Actually, life has many phases. Some people have smooth paths because others have cleared obstacles for them, while we have to clear them ourselves. But the process of overcoming obstacles is still worth it.
"I believe there's always light at the end of the tunnel. As the saying goes, 'To build, you must first destroy.' Let those formulas be the past. Let's discard them and move towards a new direction.
