Chapter146
Without saying a word, he grabbed Margaret’s arm and forcefully led her out of the banquet hall.
The crowd looked at each other in confusion.
Mr. Crawford’s final words were in response to Ms. Schwartz’s question, right?
Moreover, Mr. Crawford left with Ms. Levine.
This is enough to show that in Mr. Crawford’s mind, who carries more weight.
The crowd’s gaze fell sympathetically on Valerie.
Ainia walked proudly up to Valerie, raising her chin and said, “See? My brother will never choose you.”
Valerie smiled faintly and slowly poured the water down Ainia’s head, “Ms. Crawford, don’t provoke me, or next time I’ll make you know what it feels like to drown.”
Ainia wiped the cold water droplets off her face and looked at Valerie in terror.
Was she crazy?
How dare he repeatedly insult her again and again?
Valerie was not afraid; did she make her brother ignore her forever?
Valerie put down the cup and left.
She entered the elevator and only then did she raise her hand, pressing it against her chest.
Although she no longer loved Terrence rationally.
But the body seemed to have not yet accepted it.
The pain in my heart still lingered.
As soon as the body pain subsided, Valerie stepped out of the elevator.
Right now, there is nothing more important than freedom!
The car that Roderick prepared for her was at the small door on the left.
As soon as she got on the car, she could leave Houston.
This time, thanks to Ainia inviting Margaret.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to escape so smoothly.
Valerie walked out of the hotel briskly.
At a glance, I saw a silver Bolt EV.
Very low–key.
Perfect for running away.
Valerie had just touched the car door when she heard a hearty laughter from behind, “Ms. Schwartz, are you trying to
run away?”
Valerie was startled and turned around to see Ricky emerging from the shadows. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I never expected the esteemed Mr. Ricky to enjoy hiding in the corner.”
Ricky wheeled himself over to Valerie’s side, a slight smile playing at the corners of his lips.“I never would have guessed that Ms. Schwartz liked to sneak around.”
