Ashley was so angry that she screamed out in anger.
Julie , on the other hand, was confused when she looked at her, "What's gotten into you?"
"Mom! What have you been planning? If you hadn't done this, dad wouldn't get closer to Valeria.And they wouldn't have met Hardy.It's all your fault.If Valeria really marries Hardy, you won't be able to do anything!"
With a livid face, Ashley shouted at her mother.
Julie was stunned when she heard this, "Valeria is going to marry Hardy? Are you sure?"
"No, but dad is determined.If he decides on it, it would most probably happen"
"It has nothing to do with you.Why are you so anxious?"
Looking at Ashley's exasperated face, Julie frowned and said, "Keep your temper in check.I can tolerate it if you yell at me, but don't yell at your father."
"I just can't stand it! Why is Valeria so lucky? I'm not even half as lucky as her."
"Don't you know your dad? He likes imagining these unrealistic fantasies.Besides, how could Hardy be interested in her? Especially now when her father's company is at its lowest point"
Julie and Ashley both thought that it was impossible for them to be together.
But Ashley didn't feel any better about what her mother said.
"Do you know what dad said just now? All I did was remind him.I told him that Hardy wouldn't be interested in Valeria and he started talking about my past.It was infuriating!"
"Well, this is nothing to be angry about.I've told you countless times to stay calm and think before you act.Even if you were jealous, how could you talk bad about Valeria in front of your father?"
Julie chided Ashley, "Your dad has always been one to side with the one that brings him benefits.You deserved this anyway”
"Uh, now you're going at me too!"
Ashley was furious.
"I'm saying it for your own good! You have better keep your temper in check.Look at what you have done now!"
Julie scolded her as if she were a good-for-nothing.
"Since you know that Valeria is just an ordinary person like you, why can't you get acquainted with Hardy too?"
"I want to get to know him too.But after what happened previously, even Mason, that guy that fell out of his family book, doesn't want me.How could someone like Hardy ever be interested in me?" Ashley said dejectedly.
"Are you going to just sit and accept your fate now? Everything you've experienced is just a small matter.You're still young.Instead of sitting and waiting for luck to knock on your door, you should go and work hard for it"
Julie sneered and said, "You still have a good opportunity in front of you now”
"What do you mean?"
"I heard that Hardy is going to hold a cruise party.Now that Valeria is connected to Hardy, you can ask your dad to help you get an invitation from Valeria.If you go to the party, you might meet other great men."
"Valeria hates me.She would never help me get the invitation, though.This is highly impossible' "Get your father to ask for it as he can ask Valeria to get him one.I'll ask go ask for you tomorrow"
The next morning, Valeria got up and found herself being on the trending topic with Hardy.
Because her face wasn't in view, everyone was trying to guess her identity.
Hardy was known as the golden bachelor, so everyone had eyes on him.
Many famous actresses tried to make it seem as if they were the ones having dinner with Hardy.
Valeria had a headache when she saw the news staying at the topmost trending chart.
