William did not go back to Lake View Nest this night.
Valeria woke up in the morning, saw nothing around her, and thought William had not come home again.
"Does Marcus have to call William in the middle of the night to tell him to go to work?"
"And Bob never comes back after being called away at night.They are not doing things Rated-R, are they?"
Valeria was stunned when she imagined Marcus pulling William to the bed.
She became more and more suspicious of their relationship.
"But, given Bob's strength, he shouldn't have been pulled down by Marcus."
"Besides, he always looks like that he's not getting enough of me, it doesn't make sense that he is bisexual.Furthermore, even if they have an affair, they won't be so blatant"
"Enough daytime for them to hook up, why bother to take the night?"
"So I must be out of my mind"
But Valeria still felt uneasy.She had to get back to work immediately.
Work and money could make her build confidence in front of her man.
Valeria decided to start her new job immediately.She had to go to the Howard family today to complete the resignation procedures.
Valeria rushed out of the house with her bag and headed towards the Howard company.
She, however, received a call from the Legal Affairs of the Howard family when she was downstairs.
"Valeria, please come to the company immediately.We have a case of plagiarizing here, and you need to come and explain it immediately"
"Plagiarizing? Who plagiarizing what?"
"It's the villa that you were responsible for designing last time.Now someone accuses you of plagiarizing her ideas."
"Are you sure?" She said.
"How is this possible? This is too ridiculous.I completed the villa's design all by myself"
She was very clear about whether she had copied other's design or not.
Valeria's anger was rising to its breaking point.
A designer feared nothing more than getting involved in such things.
But she got a clear conscience as a sure card and she would like to find out the one who was picking on her.
Valeria drove over to the Howard company.
Along the way, the old colleagues all looked at her with weird looks, and she angrily went to the Legal Affairs.
The people there threw her a lawyer's letter, claiming it had been sent by the designer who had accused her of plagiarism and claiming she was demanding an apology and damages.
The people in Legal Affairs was with poor attitude, "Miss Brown, it won't be a small problem if it's true that you are involved with some kind of plagiarism.The Howard will also hold you accountable for the loss then"
"I didn't plagiarize any thing"
She said angrily, "I completed the design draft on my own"
"So why do they have the design draft? Check out the date .They released it on the seventh night, but your design was handed over to the company on the eighth.How do you explain it?"
On the night of the seventh? Valeria was stunned for a moment because her design was completed on the seventh night.
She recalled how excited she was that day, after the design was finished, to celebrate with Ashley.
She drank a lot that night.
"So Ashley stole the design draft to set me up?" She thought.
In such case, she really got nothing to explain.
Seeing that Valeria's face changed, the people in the office sneered, "You still have time to find evidence, if you don't find evidence, I'm sorry, our company will not let you go!"
She returned to the car only to find that her phone had already started to push the news of her plagiarism.
Valeria didn't expect problems within the company to spread so quickly.
"What to do now?"
"Ashley and Mason were the only people who saw my design when I was working on it, and I had to be suspicious of those two"
"I threw it away!"
"Why?"
"Never saw you use it since you bought it.Why didn't I?"
Ronald didn't see anything wrong about it.
"This is my stuff! Why did you throw it? Dad, you've gone too far!"
Valeria was shaking with anger.
"This is my house.So what then?"
Valeria was devastated by Ronald's unapologetic questioning.
She had to fight back tears of anger, "Are you even a father? How can you be so cruel to me?"
"I want say the same to you.I gave birth to you and raised you, but you gave me your disobedience and ungrateful conduct.How could I raise a daughter like you?"
Ronald did not see that he had done anything wrong, "Look, your name is tarnished.Listen, as long as you come back and tell me you were wrong, I'll take care of it for you.Otherwise, don't blame me."
"Helping me handle the aftermath? It sounds too good to be true"
"Of course, there's a condition for me to help you clean up the mess.Break up with that chauffeur right now and do whatever I ask you to do in the future, then I'll go to the the Howard family to talk them into not suing you.Or you can just handle this all by yourself"
"Just have them make me end in prison!"
Valeria shouted and hung up the phone.
She hurried downstairs.
Julie came over with a synthetic friendliness, "What's wrong, Valeria?"
"Why are you here? Who make you here?"
Valeria glared at Julie.
"Your dear father does.Have you any idea that we are going to get married soon? And this is my home from now on."
