Chapter 78
But on TV, she was no longer the arrogant woman from last night.
Her eyes were swollen from crying,
As soon as she met the camera, tears streamed down her face.
“Valerie, are you watching TV? I’m so sorry, I was wrong to call you a mistress without knowing the whole story!
“Mr. Crawford has explained everything to me. He and Margaret are not in a romantic relationship, and they aren’t together.
“I was mistaken,”
Valerie stared at Makenzie on the screen in a daze,
Only Terrence could make Makenzie apologize on a local TV station.
So… he’d finally explained everything.
Valerie sat on the sofa, feeling lost.
Four years had passed.
Terrence had never explained Margaret’s presence in his life.
Now that she had completely given up on him, he finally spoke up.
She couldn’t quite figure out what Terrence was up to.
Valerie wondered, “If he cares about me, why has he stayed silent for so long?
“There’s only one explanation.
“I’ve been Terrence’s simp for seven years.
“Now that I stop chasing after him, he can’t handle it.”
The thought made her laugh, but her heart ached.
At that moment, footsteps echoed outside her door, like the tolling of a death knell.
She turned slowly, and with a click, the door opened to reveal Terrence’s tall figure.
For a brief moment, relief flickered in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a cold, fierce look. “Valerie, was it fun?”
Seeing his cold expression, Valerie felt even more ridiculous for her earlier confusion,
Terrence… just couldn’t let go of his simp.
“Congratulations,” she said flatly, her voice devoid of emotion.“You found me. So, where are you going to lock me up this time? In Foliage Villa or some other villa?”
