Who walked into the hall was the one Ronald had said was sick and unable to attend the party.
Ron clearly saw Valeria enter the room, as did the others.
Someone reminded him, "Mr.Brown, didn't you say that your daughter, Miss Brown, is at home convalescing?"
"I.." Ronald was speechless.
Everyone in the hall fixed their eyes on Valeria, who was wearing a dirty white dress.
Her hair was also in a mess, which made her looked quite different from the well-off young lady of the Brown family.
The ladies were furious at the sight of the poor Valeria, and the flashy Ashley mother and daughter brought in by Ronald and Mason in their custom dresses.
"How can Ronald be so shameless? He abused the daughter of his ex-wife, but doted on the mistress and her daughter"
"Yeah.Poor Miss Brown.She's wearing old and dirty clothes.If Natalie found out, she would be furious and even come back to life."
"Such an ugly mistress even doesn't deserve to carry Natalie's shoes.How did Ronald take a fancy to her? Was she great in bed?"
"It must be so.I remember that in ancient times, there was an emperor who didn't like his young and beautiful wife but slept with his wet nurse.Ronald may be as sick inside as the emperor.Those rich ladies hated mistresses the most.Who could be sure that their husbands were loyal to them? Maybe their husbands had kept mistresses just like Ronald.They all hated the mistress most, so they unanimously blamed Ronald, Ashley and Julie.”
Julie always thought she's beautiful and younger than her peers.
Now these noble ladies said that she was old.
They compared Ronald and her to the Emperor and the wet nurse.
She almost vomited blood from anger.
Ronald's face turned into red as a pork liver.
He never thought these women would speak in such a vicious way, even calling him a pervert.
And all was because of Valeria, the damn b*stard.
If there weren't so many people around, Ronald would give her a hard time.
But now, he knew that he couldn't.
Not only he couldn't give Valeria a lesson, but he had to think of a way to make it all work out.
Ronald was also a big shot.
He had to protect his own reputation.
He immediately thought of a way to explain all this.
He suppressed his anger and strode to Valeria, "Valeria, why are you here?"
"Dad, are you questioning me?" Valeria asked with tears in her eyes.
"Of course not.My child, is it necessary to make such a big deal of the misunderstanding between you and I?"
Ronald sighed, "Your Aunt Julie and I have nothing to do with each other.She is just my classmate.She came to B City to see a doctor.As a host, I just asked her to stay in our house for a few more days.She will leave when she's done”
"Really? But just now, Mason stopped me and told me that she moved into my house to marry you.He also said you were going to make your relationship public here.’ Valeria put all blame on Mason.
It was Mason who told her about Ronald and Julie.It had nothing to do with her.
"Mason must have been in drunk.Valeria, I know you're upset that Ashley stole your boyfriend, Mason.But this is between you, Ashley and Mason.You can't blame it on me and Aunt Julie, can you?"
Blame it on them? He was so sinister that he tried to clear him and Julie by blaming everything on her jealousy of Ashley.
