Lahat ng Kabanata ng That Stranger Lying Beside Me: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

Ronald comforted her while she cried. Just then, the sound of footsteps resounded in the corridor, and Valeria appeared at the ward. Upon seeing her arrival, Ronald glared at her and scolded, "You unfilial daughter, look at what you did to Ashley!" "It wasn't me who harmed her, she fell all by herself!" Valeria argued. "Valeria, Ashley is already in this state, you can't just deny responsibilities like that," Julie chimed in.  "Let me repeat myself, I did not touch her. It was she who rushed over and fell!" "Ashley is so gentle and kind. She can't even bear to trample on ants. How could she pick a fight with you? You're lying through your teeth," Julie would never admit the truth and immediately refuted. "What? How could a kind person be so shameless and snatch away other people's man?" Upon seeing Ronald's fierce gaze, Valeria knew that he sided with Julie. Therefore, it was no use for her to defend herself. She looked at Julie and sneer

Richard nodded and immediately dialed a number, "They are at a night bar, come now!"  "Who are you calling?" Upon hearing Richard's call, Abbie immediately questioned him. "A friend of mine!" "A friend that needs our whereabouts? Oh no, I think I'm going to puke! Bro, keep an eye on Valeria! I need to go to the washroom!" Abbie said and rushed to the washroom. Richard shook his head and sat down to look at Valeria, who was sleeping on the seat. A few minutes later, William rushed in. "Why is she so drunk?"  "Who knows? You should get her into the car first. I'll be here waiting for Abbie." William immediately carried Valerie up in bridal style and left.  Abbie vomited in the bathroom for a while and she staggered out. When she came back to the table, she saw that Richard was alone. Valeria was gone. She asked in horror, "Brother, where is Valeria?" "She's in the car outside." "Oh, then please hold on to me.

Valeria arrived at Gorham City and knocked on Abbie's door. Abbie came out while rubbing her eyes, "Valeria... you're here?"  Valeria entered the house dejectedly and sat down on the sofa, "Abbie, how did I end up with William last night?" "Uhm... Valeria, he didn't do anything to you, did he?" Abbie looked at Valeria's face carefully. "He didn't do anything to me, but I am furious. Why did he lie to me? I even said all those words to him before this. As I think about it now, I'm such a foolish!"  Valeria began to complain to Abbie, "I gave him money and told him not to pretend to be rich. I also advised him to keep a low profile and even said I wanted to control his financial status. He must be dying of laughter on the inside."  "Well, he's really despicable! My brother said William tried to explain to you but you didn't want to listen, so he just let it be."  "He could have just told me who he is, but he didn't. He must have seen me as one of those

Valeria spent the whole afternoon complaining, so Abbie brought her to Wolf Group to fill her stomach.  Their car came to a halt at the entrance of Wolf Group. Right at this time, William's Bentley stopped beside their car. William sat in the car and looked at Valeria while she coldly ignored him. She didn't even spare him a glance. Abbie then pulled her into the building together.  William shook his head and got out of his car. He just followed behind them.  Noticing that William was following behind, Abbie whispered, "Valeria, William is behind us. Do you think he came to apologize?"  "Just ignore him. I get mad when I see his face! His apologies are meaningless," Valeria scoffed.  "Alright, as you wish. Let's pretend we don't know this person at all."  As they spoke, they entered the elevator. William, who was behind them, strode forward. Just as the elevator door was about to close, he reached out to block the door and stepped right in. 

Ronald returned home last night in a bad mood. He knew that Ashley hooked up with Mason and did Valeria wrong.  But he could see that Mason never had real feelings for Valeria, so why did she left him with no choice?  Ashley was already pregnant at that time. Valeria could have just let Mason go and everybody could move on with their own lives!  That ongoing problem was already giving him a headache, and now Julie and Ashley had given him a much bigger problem. He never expected them to publicly slander Valeria!  And this time, Valeria caught them off guard and she had something against them. Ronald didn't really care for Valeria, but he was just embarrassed.  After all, what happened last night had been witnessed by Abbie. It was very humiliating for him that this happened in front of an outsider.  Although he was furious that Julie and Ashley did such a thing, he was even angrier that Valeria looked for help from an outsider instead of going to him
