You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 793

Leon's question caught Valerie off guard. Her body began to tense up, and her breathing became uneasy.

She felt as if a wave of icy water washed over her. She almost gave in and confessed, but she was to regain her composure just in time.

"No, I didn't. The video I gave you was the final edit. There were many versions of it, but to my knowledge, that was the complete version. You can search it on the Internet and see for yourself," she answered firmly.

The atmosphere in the living room was tense.

It was obvious that Leon didn't buy her excuse. On the other hand, Bryant had no idea what the two were talking about.

He just stood there clueless and listened.

With a frown, he looked at Valerie. He wondered how many evil things she had done without him knowing.

He thought he knew his cousin well, but now he realized that he didn't know her well enough at all.

If he had known about it, he might have had a chance of stopping things from turning out the way they did. But now, there was no way for him to get her out of trouble now.

'Forget it.

There's nothing else I could do for her, ' he thought.

Bryant looked at them and said, "You guys talk. I'll just go to the room and check if my kids are already asleep. They still have school early tomorrow."

He knew that the children were already asleep. He just said it as an excuse to leave the two to sort things out.

Deep inside, he was quite disappointed.

Meanwhile, Valerie didn't notice him at all. She was too busy trying to think of a strategy to deal with Leon.

She never imagined that he would find about what she did three years ago.

Trying to recall what happened, she was sure that the guy who edited the video had no idea who she was. She had him remove just a short part of the video.

'What should I be afraid of?

There are no loose ends. I have no reason to be nervous, ' she thought to herself.

Valerie did her best to calm herself down and to look relaxed.

"I don't know if you've watched a longer version or if you've heard anything. All I did was to let you know that she had a live interview that day. I haven't watched the whole thing myself. I really have no idea why you're suspecting me."

After speaking, she smiled innocently at him. She looked like an angel who wasn't capable of lying.

Meanwhile, Leon just looked at her as if trying to decide whether to believe her or not.

Cold silence fell upon the room once again.

The deafening silence made people overthink, especially those who were trying to hide secrets. Valerie's heart felt like it would beat right out of her chest.

Just as she was about to say something, Leon gave her another reason to be even more nervous.

"Do you know the reason why Michelle went abroad three years ago? I hope that you can explain it to me. If you tell the truth, I might even forgive you. But if you don't..." Leon said threateningly, looking straight into her eyes.

He then chuckled to himself, mocking her.

"If I tell everyone how you keep lying about being my fiancee, who do you think they'll believe? Tell me, what do you think will happen once everyone finds out about your charade? Oh, I'm sure everyone will look down on you, Valerie."

Valerie's face turned pale, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Leon smiled at her and went on, "And maybe I should let everyone know my identity first. I'm not just the chairman of Feng Group. I'm also the prince of C Island.

I've also never admitted that you were my girlfriend or fiancee. You'll be the laughingstock in Lexingport City."

Prestige and reputation were very important for Valerie. In the past three years, she worked her way up the highest social circles in the city. Once those snobbish people heard what Leon had to say, they would definitely shun her.

In the highest rungs of society, it's very easy for one's reputation to be ruined.

Of course, Valerie understood the stakes very well.

And she knew very well that once her reputation was tainted, it would be impossible to repair.
