Chapter 90 I Know He Wasn’t Reliable
Valerie got up and walked to close the door after the makeup artist left. She pulled Martha over. “Why are you here?”
“Valerie, it’s your engagement today. I want to come to see you and give you my blessings.”
She looked at Valerie in the stunning gown and smiled. “You’re so beautiful today. You look even prettier than a celebrity.”
“Mom, did anyone see you here?”
Valerie was more concerned about being seen than about her mother’s compliments
It wasn’t easy for her to be where she was now. She didn’t want Martha’s appearance to ruin everything she had worked hard for.
“Don’t worry. No one noticed me when I came in. I even altered my clothes to make it look like the hotel staff’s uniform.”
Valerie relaxed when she heard that.
“By the way, your dad has also been invited today. He’s at the main hall now,”
Valerie’s expression tumed grim. “What is he doing here? Tell him not to act like he’s close to me to avoid causing suspicion from others.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already told him that. He said he was proud of you when he knew you were getting engaged to Jordan.”
“Hah, he never wanted to acknowledge me before this. He finally says something decent now just because of Jordan’s power and influence.”
She looked at Martha with disdain. “Can’t you have a bit of self–respect? Is he the only man in the world now? I don’t understand you at all. Why are you still with him even without a name afterall these years? Are you truly still expecting him to get a divorce and marry you?”
“Your dad did this to protect you. You know how ruthless Melanie is She’d try to harm you if she knew about you. Now that you’re engaged to Mr. Ford, your dad will divorce Melanie and marry me if you help him.”
“Stop trying to take advantage of me. I’m an orphan in the version of the story I told. Jordan will become suspicious if help him. My life will be ruined.“Valerie warned, “Do you hear me?”
Martha nodded. “I understand.”
Only then did Valerie’s expression soften slightly.
“Valerie, has the poison truly been cleared from your body?”
“That’s wonderfull Mr. Ford will surely marry you sooner than expected if you can get pregnant as soon as possible.”
“I can’t have children.”
“What? Didn’t Mr. Ford find you the Miracle Doctor? Can’t she help you with your condition?”
“The Miracle Doctor said it would cost six billion dollars to treat me. Where am I supposed to get that much money?”
“That’s outrageous! Isn’t there any other way?”
“Neither Jordan nor anyone from the Ford family can know about this. Could you talk to Dad to see if he can help me with the six billion dollars? I can surely pay him back once I marry into the Ford family.”
There was a hint of unease on Martha’s face. “You know that Melanie is the one managing the money. A few million dollars might be doable, but a few billion dollars… It can be a problem if she finds out about it and starts to look into it.”
“Fine. I knew I couldn’t count on him
Valerie didn’t want to speak to her further. “You should leave now, I
bed in the next moment.
There was a knock on the door Jordan was dressed in a suit and walked in Valerie’s expression shifted. She pushed Martha away and walked up to him with a gentle smile. “Jordan, here you are. I’m all ready, Shall we head down? “Okay,” Jordan replied faintly. His suspicious gaze lingered on the hotel staff behind her. Martha quickly lowered her head for fear that he might recognize het.
Valerie felt a surge of panic when she noticed his gaze was fixed on Martha and hurriedly said, “She’s just a hotel staff who brought me some fruits. Let’s go.”
