After having his way in the car with Ashley, Charles let her go in satisfaction.She was indeed a seductive person who managed to make him lose control of himself.
After returning to normal, he said, "Is your father looking for Valeria right now to use the ‘family’ card to take advantage of her?"
"Yes!" Ashley did not hide the truth.
"My dad could not sit still with his losses.He was in a rage and forced me to look for her.But Valeria hates me so much, so I know that there’s no way she would agree to see me.If I can't get her to see him, he'll beat me up again!"
He frowned and said, "Ronald is really cruel! It's okay, I'll help you look for her."
"Really? Thank you!" Ashley sighed in relief.
Charles fixed his clothes and got out of the car to enter the Wolf Group.
Soon, he found the room Valeria was in and went inside to look for her.
Although the people in the room hated Charles, they still respected him.
Richard and Marcus suppressed their resentment and greeted him.
He greeted everyone with a smile on his face and looked at Valeria.
"Miss Brown, Ashley has to talk to you about something.She said that your father was hospitalized.Although I know what happened so far between you two is quite horrendous, he's still your father, so I think you should visit him.It would be bad for your reputation if you don't."
"What reputation? When it comes to that, people in the business industry have the worst ones." William said calmly.
"Yeah, I don't have a reputation either! Since Valeria saw through Ronald's awful plans, she is not obligated to care about him anymore.Good riddance!"
Richard also sneered.
Michael was even more ruthless.
"Those who care about their reputations are all fake! Take Mr.Howard for example.Do you care about your reputation?"
Lamont, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, burst into laughter when he heard that.
Upon hearing his laughter, Charles looked over with a ghastly look on his face.
When he saw that it was Lamont, he was shocked.
"L...Lamont?"
"How have you been, Mr.Howard?"
Lamont laughed sarcastically.
"You had an affair.You forced your wife to her death, and then the mistress took her place.You didn't care about your own son, but you raised your mistress’ nephew like a treasure.Oh right, does your current mistress know about the women you play with now? Mr.Howard, since you don't care about your own reputation, what right do you have to give Valeria advice?"
Charles thought that everyone would take him seriously, so he was taken aback when none of them did.
Lamont's words, in particular, were a slap to his face.His face fell even more, but he swallowed the anger bubbling in him.He cleared his throat and said, "What everyone said makes sense, and Ronald also had his own faults.But Valeria is different from us.Currently, she still has a good reputation.There's no need for her to throw all of that away because of this situation."
"That's more like it!" William sneered.
"Valeria, why don't you go to the hospital?"
"Sure! You come with me too then."
Valeria was happy at the sight of everyone ganging up on Charles.
William took her hand and stood up.
"You guys continue with what you were doing.Valeria and I will be back soon."
In the hospital, Ronald finally received Ashley's call after waiting for three hours.She asked him to get ready as Valeria was on her way.
Ronald put on a miserable act to face her.
Valeria did not want William to see Ronald's disgusting facade, so she asked him to wait in the car.She went to the ward by herself and opened the door.
Looking at Ronald lying weakly on the bed with his eyes closed, she wanted to laugh.
With a look of surprise on her face, she said, "Ah, weren't you okay yesterday? Why are you like this today?"
