Chapter52
Terrence became even more irritable.
Just at that moment, a clear knocking sound came from outside the door.
The two of them turned around at the same time.
There stood a man at the entrance.
Valerie knew him.
Ernest Maxwell, the chief lawyer of the Crawford Group, had been entrusted by Terrence’s mother to come to Valerie.
Every time, he asked her to take the money and leave Terrence.
Ernest felt a little awkward and coughed lightly.“Did I disturb you?”
Terrence frowned, suppressing the displeasure in his eyes.“Can we leave now?”
Ernest glanced at Valerie and then said, “Mr. Crawford, the procedures have been completed, and you can leave at any time.” Terrence nodded, but he didn’t hurry to leave. Instead, he casually glanced at Valerie.
Valerie sat motionless in the chair.
It was as if they were just air.
The anger in Terrence’s eyes was boiling. He pressed his brow and said coldly, “Valerie, don’t you want to say anything?” Valerie said nothing, not even changing the slightest tilt of her head.
Ernest, who was standing aside, raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Although he didn’t have much contact with Valerie, he knew very well how insignificant Valerie was in front of Terrence.
But Valerie didn’t seem like a humble subordinate at that moment.
Ernest thought, “Did Valerie return to Washington D.C. because she no longer loved Terrence?”
Ernest, who was known for his rigorous logic and emphasis on respecting objective facts, did not believe this conclusion.
After all, Valerie loved Terrence humbly.
She simply couldn’t live without Terrence.
Terrence, who had been ignored once again, finally lost patience and walked towards the door.
He walked slowly.
At the entrance, he stopped in his tracks, his gloomy gaze meeting Valerie’s eyes. “Valerie, you should be well aware that if you can’t go out tonight, you’ll have to spend the night at the police station!”
“Mr. Crawford, it’s none of your business,” Valerie finally said.
However, her tone was full of coldness.
Terrence clenched his fist.
