Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 789

Valerie hugged Matthew and refused to let go. When the two of them exchanged looks, Valerie could not hold back anymore. She stood on tiptoes to give the man a passionate kiss. Matthew responded by holding the back of her head firmly.

The two of them kissed passionately in the office.

No one outside the office dared to interrupt the couple. After all, the news of Matthew's return was bound to rock the entire Kranson City. Although the news had yet to spread, Matthew could not wait any longer and decided to barge into the office the instant he was back.

After a long while, the two of them finally separated. When Valerie gazed at Matthew, her tears poured down again. "What took you so long? But as long as you return safe and sound, everything else is not important."

She then tugged at Matthew and said, "Let's go home to see Grandma."

"No rush." Then, Matthew directed his words to Charles Hudson who was waiting outside the door. "Summon all of them here for a meeting!"

Charles acknowledged the instruction. With a few phone calls, he informed every Grant family member to assemble here.

When these people heard that Matthew had returned, they were dumbfounded and hurried over.

Valerie had already dealt a heavy blow to the family members during the meeting but they were not expecting Matthew to return as well. They knew they were doomed.

Everyone sat in the conference room in trepidation. Matthew walked in with Valerie in tow. He then looked at everyone with an ominous expression. "All of you thought I had died out there and wouldn't be coming back, didn't you?"

The opening statement dealt a big blow and sent everyone into a panic.

"No, no, Mr. Grant. We're more than happy to have you back!" one stammered.

"Yes, we have been looking forward to your return every day!" another said.

"Mr. Grant, you are so humorous. We wouldn't dare!" a third added.

Matthew's menacing air was so overwhelming that no one dared to look up.

"Really? All of you are good-for-nothings. When I left, I entrusted the Noria Group to you guys. What happened in the end? All of you pushed all the work to Valerie. Are you trying to make her die of exhaustion?

"When you guys ask for money, your appetite is endless but when you are supposed to work, all of you are slacking off! If this continues, I think all of you don't have to stay in the Noria Group anymore. Henceforth, you will receive your pay in the form of dividends accordingly. I don't want to hear anyone trash-talking in front of me anymore!

"Charles, check their records and see what good deeds they have been up to during this period. I don't have time to deal with all of you now, but before I step back into the office, hand over all your job responsibilities as soon as possible!"

Every word Matthew said was the truth. Everyone became frantic but no one dared to say anything.

Matthew did not want to listen to their explanation anyway. He wrapped his arm around Valerie and turned around to go home. He wanted to go back to see his grandmother and son.

Valerie smiled and heaved a sigh of relief. Now that Matthew was back, she had a pillar of support. However, her heart still ached for Matthew. After being away for so long, he had become a lot more haggard visibly.

However, Valerie sensed that something seemed to be different. She kept feeling that Matthew had changed.

His entire bearing was different now.

Sophia Grant had already seen Valerie's car from afar when the car was turning into the Grant family's residential compound.

After getting out of the car, Matthew stood in front of Sophia. The old lady was so shocked that she could only cry out, "Matthew!"
