"Huh?"
Ronald was dumbfounded at first, but his confusion quickly turned into pure joy when he realized that Hayden didn't want Valeria to marry William as well.
He was concerned that William might become a problem when he decided to deal with Valeria.
But since Hayden disliked Valeria, surely he would prevent William from saving Valeria.
It would be easy to deal with Valeria as Ronald could use that to his advantage.
He couldn't contain his happiness at all as he nodded, "That's what I think too, Hayden.Don't worry, I'll keep her away from William."
On the other hand, Hayden was equally surprised that things played out so smoothly.
He never expected Ronald to agree to his suggestion so quickly.
Suddenly, it dawned on him that Ronald might look down on William like how he looked down on Valeria, and Hayden was uncomfortable with that.
Although William could be uncooperative at times, he was still a cultured gentleman.
Therefore, Ronald, of all people, had no right to pick on William.
Hayden's faint smile dropped in an instant before he stared coldly at Ronald and said, "That's settled then, Mr.Brown.Remember to keep an eye on your daughter, I don't want to see her around William again.
"Of course!"
Ronald promised with pleasure since it was a good thing for Valeria to break up with William, "But I do hope that you'd grant me a favor, Hayden."
Ronald's giddiness got on Hayden's nerves, but he pushed down his anger and asked with his teeth gritted, "What do you want?"
"You want me to keep Valeria away from William, right? I'll do you better, I'll get her to marry someone so that she has no chance to harass William.In return, you'll have to make sure that William won't interfere with my plan."
"What do you mean!?" Hayden was enraged.
"Are you saying that William has been bewitched by your daughter?!"
"No, I wasn't..." Ronald denied it immediately.
"Hayden, I'll be frank with you.William interfered the last time when I tried to give Valeria a lesson, and I only stopped because of you," he continued.
"I'm saying that I can bring Valeria in line, but William won’ t like it’ Hayden felt better after Ronald's explanation but he still answered stiffly, "Alright, leave William to me.You just do what you're supposed to do."
Needless to say, Ronald had no objection to such an arrangement.
After leaving the coffee shop, he returned to the villa, where he was greeted by Julie and Ashley warmly.
Ashley put away his coat while Julie held his arm and asked sweetly, "What's the good news, Ronald?"
"You remember how I was worried that William might get in my way when I deal with Valeria later?"
Ronald asked smugly, then he continued without giving them a chance to answer, "We won't have to worry about that now.Hayden doesn't like Valeria too, hence he asked me to keep Valeria away from William."
"That's great!"
Julie grinned.
"Valeria will have to give everything including Natalie's shares and the villa back to you.So she doesn't have anyone to help her anymore."
Ronald spat with an evil expression, "Don't worry! An eye for an eye.Valeria will pay for the harm that Natalie had done to me.I won't leave even a penny for her! I will make her a living hell!"
