Meanwhile, Valeria and William had no idea that Paisley and Danya's misfortune was a ploy.
After Paisley and Danya were brought to the guest room, Valeria was still frightened.
"Isn't it too dangerous around here? They're so lucky to run into you.I couldn't bear to think what would happen to them if they didn't!"
"Yeah, they are" William nodded in agreement.
"Ms.Anthony and Danya must be scared out of their wits.Do you know if they've had dinner yet? Maybe I should prepare some food for them,"
Valeria suggested enthusiastically.
However, William stopped her and said, "Ask the servants to make it.You're the host now.You should go to Paisley and see what our guests need."
Valeria's eyes widened in realization, "Oh! I forgot Paisley was robbed of everything.Of course, she'll need fresh clothes to change into.Since she's almost my size, she should be able to wear my clothes, right? I'll bring her some clothes right away."
"Go ahead," William urged while stroking her hair.
Leaving William, Valeria went to her room and she picked out quite a few sets of outfits.
She brought a lot with her for this trip, and some of them were gifted by William.
Even though she had disputes with Paisley, Valeria wasn't petty enough to let Paisley wear clothes that she had worn before.
Therefore, with the new outfits, Valeria went to knock on the guest room's door.
Danya came to answer the door and she pulled a tight smile when she saw Valeria.
"Ms.Anthony is taking a bath."
"I'm here to give Ms.Anthony some clothes,"
Valeria said as she handed the garments to Danya.
"Thank you, Miss Brown" Danya politely replied to Valeria.
Not thinking much of it, Valeria continued, "I've asked people to make food for the both of you.So, please, head downstairs and eat something later."
"It's kind of you to keep us in mind, Miss Brown" Danya thanked Valeria again with civility.
Then, because they had run out of things to say, Valeria left shortly after she gave Danya the clothes.
After sending Valeria off, Danya closed the door and instantly dropped the smile on her face.
She snorted and muttered under her breath, "Who is she trying to fool with the innocent act, I can see through you at first glance."
When Paisley came out of the bathroom, she noticed the clothes placed on the bed.
Then, as she went to have a closer look at them, she found out that they were all limited edition from luxurious brands .
She couldn't help but ask Danya, "Did Valeria send these?"
"Yes.I've made sure that these are new.So, Ms.Anthony, you can put them on!"
However, Paisley didn't appreciate Valeria’s kind gesture.
She scoffed, "Can you believe that she's giving me such expensive items willingly? Are you sure she isn't flaunting?"
"You're right.Valeria doesn't seem as simple as she looks.She's obviously showing off her status by sending clothes to you and arranging for our dinner so enthusiastically"
Danya disregarded Valeria's good intentions as well and she scorned , "But she probably forgot that as long as Sir Hayden disapproves of her, things wouldn't work out between her and Sir William.I can't wait to see Sir Hayden give her a good slap in her face."
"She's certainly going to receive a blow to her pride.I'm just a little pissed off.I supposed she must be very happy to see me in misery, isn't she? I won't let this go! I'll let her do all she likes for now, and then she'll know what I have in store for her!"
Paisley's blood was boiling.
"Are you going to call Sir Hayden then?" Danya asked.
"Why should I? Sir Hayden must be well aware of this.It wouldn't change anything even if I called" Paisley replied to Danya in frustration.
"Even so, I think you should still make the call.After all, Sir Hayden sent you here.You have to let him know Sir William brought a woman with him."
However, Danya had a different opinion than Paisley.She wasn't going to let Paisley be wronged in any bit.So, she tried her best to convince Paisley to complain to Hayden.
Yet, Paisley ignored Danya's words.
She was not known as the brilliant girl for no reason.She knew that it wasn't the right time for her to ask for Hayden's help .
He must have been using this opportunity to evaluate her performance as well.
Paisley knew Hayden wouldn't think she was worthy of William if she was just another helpless woman, who could only cry for help when in distress.
Since William had such an outstanding appearance, Hayden was the one who had the upper hand in their arrangement.
If Paisley failed to meet his requirements, he could have moved on to match William with other talented debutantes.
Therefore, Paisley's main goal at the moment was to take care of everything on her own so that Hayden would look at her in admiration.
