Chapter 192
"What?"
Hardy was shocked and reached out to touch her forehead, "You didn't drink too much, did you?"
"I'm not drunk.I'm telling you the truth.I just heard about it too"
Paisley smiled bitterly.
"If it weren't for her half-sister's plan to ruin her reputation, I don't know how long we would have been deceived for."
After Ashley told her about Valeria and William's relationship, she put on an unbothered facade.
Underneath that facade, however, was a worried heart.
The more she thought about her interactions with William, the more unnatural she realized it was.
It was obvious that William and Valeria were still caught up with each other.
Paisley was depressed.
She was sure that it would be easy to get him to fall for her, but she overestimated herself.
Thinking about William's cold attitude towards her just now, she felt even more depressed.
She hid in the corner and drank her wine sadly.
"That doesn't count as lying though.Aren't they exes?"
Hardy overcame the shock and thought logically.
"Bro, did they look like exes at the party?"
Paisley reminded him, "If they broke up, how could they still be so close? William was her music accompaniment and her dance partner.It's obvious that they haven't gotten over their relationship.I also suspect that Valeria is using you"
"Using me? Why do you say so?" Hardy shook his head.
"Paisley, don't make empty assumptions.I'm the one who's initiating everything, not her"
"Yeah, she knows that you like her, so she's using you to provoke William- Paisley's words made him frown.He did not believe that Valeria would use himself to provoke William.However, William’s reaction towards him was indeed abnormal.When they were playing cards together, William was hostile towards him as if he insulted him in the past.
Other than that, he obviously looked worried for Valeria when he was carrying her just now.
But he let her go as soon as he saw him come over.
It was hard to tell if Valeria used him to trigger William on purpose, but there was an apparent hostility between him and William.
The fact that William was hostile to him showed that his relationship with Valeria was not stable.
This meant that he still had a chance.
Seeing Hardy frown, Paisley sneered and said, "Bro, I haven't seen William or Valeria even though I've been sitting here alone for a long time.Don't you think it's more than a coincidence that they disappeared at the same time?"
Hardy shook his head, "Valeria sprained her ankle so I sent her back to her room to rest.It's no surprise that she's not in the hall"
"How about William? He loves joining the fun.Why is he not here then? I'm sure he's with Valeria right now"
Hardy felt a little sick.If what she said was correct, then he couldn't do anything about it either.
After all, he never told Valeria about his feelings and only admired her from afar.
Valeria and William were both single.
Whatever they did had nothing to do with him.
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart, "Paisley, you're overthinking after drinking so much.Go back to your room first and have a rest.You ‘ll feel better when you're sober."
"I didn't drink that much.Hardy, I just don't understand.In what ways am I not good enough?"
"You can't compare yourself like that in a relationship.You are very good, and Valeria is not bad either’ Hardy sighed.
He was never worried about Paisley because he knew that she could take care of herself.
However, he didn't expect her to break down like that just for William.
"Since you know that William doesn't love you, you should just give up.Don't need to have any delusions about him anymore.I'll take you back to your room to rest."
"What about you? Will you give up on Valeria?"
"I don't know!" Hardy replied.
He was usually very decisive and certain, so his reply was very out-of-character for him.
Paisley sighed as he helped her walk out of the hall.
