Obsession With Mr. Right novel Chapter 213

When Valeria woke up, it was already noon and it was quiet in the villa.She headed downstairs and one of the maids came to greet her, "Sir William has already gone to work.Lunch is ready.Do you want to eat now?"

"And the others?"Valeria asked offhandedly.

"Ms.Anthony and Lucas went out for errands and they probably won’ t be back for lunch today."

"Okay then, I'll have lunch now" answered Valeria.

Upon hearing that, the maid went to serve lunch at the dining table.

Valeria only had a few bites of food before she heard the sound of a car coming to a stop from the driveway.

It was Lucas, Paisley, and Danya returning from their trip.

One after another, the three of them walked through the front door, where the maid waited to ask, "Welcome back! Have you had anything for lunch yet?"

"No," Lucas simply replied.

Meanwhile, Paisley and Danya’s eyes fell on Valeria, who was sitting in the dining room.

Embarrassed, Valeria regretted not waiting a little longer, which she would have done if she had known that they would come back for lunch.

As her mouth fell open to explain, the maid said, "It's my bad.Miss Brown asked if the three of you would be back for lunch.I thought you wouldn't, so I suggested that she should eat first."

Lucas smiled, "It's alright.We didn't think we would be back in time for lunch either.We're back because something came up, and we need to go to the company later.Ms.Anthony, please eat something .We'll go to the office once you've finished your lunch."

Paisley nodded and walked towards the table with a smile.

She even warmly greeted Valeria, to which Valeria responded with a grin.

Meanwhile, Danya was following close behind Paisley, and she frowned at Valeria, "Miss Brown, have you just woke up?"

"Yes, “ Valeria nodded.

"Looks like you've taken the phrase ‘make yourself at home' literally, Miss Brown" Danya scorned.

Valeria glanced at Danya when she heard what she said and she was confused to see her disdainful look.

Valeria was sure that she had never done wrong to Danya, so she couldn't fathom why Danya was being so hostile to her.

Valeria's smile faded, and she decided to resume her meal as she ignored Danya.

Danya’s face darkened.

In her opinion, Paisley was intelligent, talented, and good- looking, so she obviously outclassed Valeria no matter how Danya looked at it.

Danya just couldn't see what William had seen in Valeria.

Thinking of this, Danya decided to goad Valeria.

After all, William had left the villa, and Lucas was their ally.

So, she pulled a smile and continued, "Miss Brown, you're from B City , right? I remember reading the news about a plagiarizing designer from B City that has the same surname as you.It wouldn't be you, would it?"

Danya didn't mind if Valeria didn't react to her provocation.She only wanted to hit Valeria where it hurt because Valeria was, in fact, a woman surrounded by scandals.

Her dad, Ronald, had a mistress, and Valeria herself was accused of plagiarism.

She had to realize that she was in no competition with Paisley.

Although Valeria was later clarified that she didn't plagiarize, no one could prove the credibility of the clarification given because of the relationship between William and her.

As far as Danya was concerned, William might have settled the dispute with his money.

The more Danya thought about it, the more she felt that she had hit Valeria's nerves in the right spots.

Therefore, she continued with feigned genuineness, "Why did you do that? Or were you wrongly blamed?"

Just as Danya had done speaking, Valeria looked up from her plate, and she peered at Danya, "Haven't you learned about table manners? Or did your employers not train you in that?"

Danya was flustered, and Valeria stopped eating.

"Plus, you should know what happened in the end if you read the news, shouldn't you? You'd know that the Howard Group had apologized for their baseless accusation if you paid any attention to the news.Anyway, I believe you're old enough to know your place.Who are you to be pointing fingers in my business? Do I know you?"

Valeria's unambiguous and unsparing speech had startled Lucas.

He had always thought Valeria to be a docile woman, but it seemed like even a worm would turn.
