Obsession With Mr. Right

Chapter 279  

Valeria's eyes were glowing with happiness when she saw the exotic and delicious dishes that had been served.

"I'm going to gain so much weight after eating all this tonight!"

William had a smile on his face as he filled her plate generously, "Don ‘t worry, eat as much as you want, I won't complain even if you gain weight."

"You don't understand how hard it is to lose weight! I'll be too fat to walk properly in the future at the rate you're feeding me!"

"You won't if we exercise at night to burn those calories," William winked at her.

"You pervert!"

Valeria glared at him, "You wouldn't torture a sick patient tonight, would you?"

"I'll keep my hands to myself tonight, don't worry!"

William replied as both of them continued to enjoy their food while joking around with each other.

After their meal, William brought Valeria around the garden for a stroll.

He walked behind Valeria as she admired the colourful decorative lights that were all around the garden.

Just then, Marcus dropped him a text, "Elizabeth has been dealt with according to your wishes.Would you like to see the video?"

"Sure, send it to me." William replied.

William frowned in disgust at Elizabeth's shameless figure in the video before deleting it immediately, "I almost threw up my dinner just from watching that."

"Should we post it online?" Marcus suggested.

"Just do whatever you want"

William replied, "Just remember to blur out her face.Also, has Ronald decided to take action yet?"

"Lamont has dealt with him already; Marcus answered.

"Lamont had arrived before our men did and he had beaten Ronald up without mercy.Ronald couldn't defend himself and was left with a broken arm.He should be on his way to the hospital right now!"

"That's good to hear, Lamont is indeed a cruel man after all," William praised.

Meanwhile, Valeria was upset when she realized that William had not been following her, "William, hurry up!"

"I'm coming!’ William caught up with Valeria with hurried steps as he put his phone back into his pocket.

Suddenly, Valeria's phone rang when they were enjoying their stroll.

When she picked up her phone, Kyrie’s panicked voice could be heard from the other end, "Please hurry to the hospital, Miss! Mr.Brown has been beaten up!"

Ronald had come out of the operation room when William and Valeria arrived at the hospital.His face was bruised and his hand was broken.He had been screaming in pain before painkillers were given to him.

Valeria felt bad for Ronald after seeing his injuries even though he had tried to use her for his own gains, "What happened? Who did this to him?"

"No idea.The attacker left immediately after beating Mr.Brown up"

Kyrie answered with a throbbing eye.

"Have you informed the police?"

"Yes, they've also started investigating the case but it seems hopeless so far."

Ashely and Julie rushed into the room as Kyrie answered Valeria.

Julie immediately burst into tears after seeing the injured Ronald, "Oh no...how could anyone be so cruel to beat you up like this?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Valeria's pity towards Ronald had vanished after seeing Julie and Ashley's act.

The mother- daughter pair continued to act like upset family members until Ronald was pushed into his ward.

Valeria sat on the sofa without a word as she texted William, "The doctor said that he'll be fine with proper rest.He only has a bruised face and a broken arm, but no one knows who did this to him."

William, who was waiting for Valeria in the car, immediately replied to her message, "Alright, I understand."

Ashely turned with tears in the eyes to glare at Valeria who was texting William, "Valeria, you've been on your phone this whole time! Shouldn't you show some concern for our poor father who's lying on the hospital bed?"

Valeria replied with a cold stare, "What's wrong with me being on my phone? I can't put on a such a act in front of everyone, I'm not actresses like both of you after all."

"Watch your words, how could you say that?"

"Do you know that the person who cries the loudest in a funeral is someone who's actually just putting up an act? The people who are truly upset normally cries silently in the corner.I cant bear to watch the disgusting crying act that you've been putting on since you've entered the room!"

Ashely and Julie paused at hearing her words.

Valeria snorted bitterly before going back to text William on her phone.

Ashely and her mother had stopped their crying act and were waiting patiently on the bench instead.

Ronald woke up screaming in pain half an hour later.

Ashely and Julie immediately rushed to his side, "Ronald!"

"Dad!"

Ronald groaned, "Oh gosh, it hurts so much!"

"Did you see who did this to you?"

Julie had started crying again.

Valeria put her phone down, she strode over and moved past Ashely and Julie who were bawling their eyes out.

"Dad, you should tell the police everything that you remember so that they can find the culprit."

Ronald did not see the figure who had done this to him.

He only remembered being hit at the back of his head when he got off his car.

Furthermore, he had been unable to defend himself against the quick blows.

"I can't remember anything, just ask the police to look at the security cameras for clues" Ronald replied helplessly.

"They already did.The security cameras had been tampered with so there's no footage of your attack." Kyrie answered solemnly.

"D*mn it, this was a planned attack then! I'll be sure to return the favor once I find out who did this!" Ronald exclaimed angrily.

"Why would someone attack you for no reason?"

Julie interrupted, "The person who attacked you must have had a grudge on you.In my opinion, it should be someone close to you as they know about your daily schedule clearly!"

"Mom is right, this was a planned incident.Have you offended someone close to you today, dad?"

Ashely had caught on that Julie was trying to frame Valeria for Ronald's injuries.

Ronald was stunned after hearing their words.

He had not plotted against anyone else other than Valeria today.

Could it be that Valeria had planned this attack to get back at him for what he had done to her this afternoon?
