Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 801

"You're getting bolder and bolder, you wretched girl!" With that, Vivian Santos raised her hand and slapped her daughter Katherine.

Valerie Warren got a shock. Katherine stumbled sideways from the impact and almost fell. Fortunately, Ian Grant was there to catch her. "I say, Mrs. Santos! She's your daughter!"

"It's none of your business if I hit my daughter! Not only do I want to hit her, but I also want to hit all of you!"

She was about to hit Valerie when Ian grabbed her hand.

"I say, Mrs. Santos. Even if you want to throw a tantrum, you have to check where you are. This is the Noria Group's territory. Does your Santos family have the guts to go against the Noria Group, and by extension go against the Grant family?

"This lady is Mrs. Grant. If you slap her, not even Louis Santos can help you, much less Katherine!"

Vivian froze when the realization hit her but she was still furious.

She then glared at Ian before pointing at Valerie and Katherine as if to warn them. In the end, she stalked off with a loud snort.

Katherine looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Valerie. I have made you suffer!"

Valerie simply shook her head. "I'm fine."

Ian sighed, "Although they're all wealthy families, Mrs. Santos's bad temper is infamous in this circle. Don't take it to heart."

He had also heard of such mothers when he was overseas. After such a ruckus, Ian gave another sigh and went out. When he came back, he had two glasses of water and a hot egg which he handed to Katherine.

"You ladies have a good chat. I'll excuse myself. Call me if you need anything."

Katherine nodded and thanked Ian. She sat down with Valerie in the office. "Valerie, I'm really sorry. I never thought my Mom would suddenly rush here. She located my shop and wanted to make me go back, but I refused. I didn't expect her to take it out on you."

Valerie shook her head. "You can't blame yourself for this. Everyone knows that your mother has a bad temper. She has so much frustration toward you. She's hoping..."

"Sigh! Let's not talk about this anymore," Katherine mumbled.

At first, Valerie still felt bad about keeping Katherine's mother in the dark. However, the older woman had totally no respect for Katherine. Today, she even came looking for Valerie.

Valerie also lost her temper, especially today when Katherine's mother hit Katherine before her eyes. This was despite knowing that Katherine was pregnant!

Valerie could not tolerate that. When she saw Katherine's pale face, it was obvious that the girl had not been doing well recently. She quickly held Katherine's hand. "Katherine, I told you previously to look for another guy. Have you thought about it?"

Katherine stared at her. "Valerie, are you joking? You still want me to look for another guy in my present condition?"

Valerie did not think there was anything wrong. "Why not? I think it's quite a good idea. You're multi-talented and good-looking. Why don't you get to know a new guy?"

"But I'm already pregnant," Katherine protested.

"What's the big deal? If you're pregnant, so be it. It's not a big deal. A single mother can still go on dates. And anyway, the child isn't born yet.

"After you have found a man willing to marry you, it's possible that he will treat this child as his own after birth. Don't worry. If you trust me, I can help you make the arrangements.

"We can choose from my company's senior executives first!"

After listening to Valerie, Katherine burst out laughing. "Valerie, stop joking!"

However, Valerie was very solemn. "I'm not joking. If you don't want to be treated like this by your mother again, I'm afraid you can only listen to me. Having a man around can protect you and also keep your mother's mouth shut."
