Chapter 273

In the end, it was Manny who wiped the sweat off his forehead as he said, “Yes! That’s right! That makes sense. Everyone, let’s clap. Let’s earn money together and become rich…”

He was really afraid that this matter would be exposed.

Although Valerie had just said that there was no relationship between her and Charles, the fact that she knew Mr. Grant has become more questionable. Manny looked at Valerie as if she was a mystery. He did not dare to offend her.

Fortunately, everyone did not leave him hanging and applause sounded around the room after his words.

Seeing this, Valerie commented, “Looks like everyone has reached a consensus. I’ll take my leave first. See you guys tomorrow!

With that, she carried her bag and left. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was not until she left for a long time that everyone slowly dispersed.

Everyone thought, ‘Holy shit! Valerie looked so harmless and easy to bully, but why was her aura so scary?‘

Valerie did not care what others thought of her. Her principles in dealing with things were very simple: Just don’t stop her from earning money.

off work until 5.30 pm. Although School ended at 5 pm, but Valerie didn’t get off work until 5.30 Aiden waited for her in the kindergarten for more than half an hour, he didn’t make a fuss. On the way home, the little boy bounced all the way. He exclaimed, “Miss Warren, what are we eating tonight? I really like it when you pick me up!”

It wasn’t like he was pretending to be happy. He was bubbling with happiness.

In the past, Ashley did not bother picking him up. She said that the kindergarten was close to home and asked him to head home by himself. Otherwise, their neighbors would bring him home.

Although he also felt that he was old enough and did not need his parents to pick him up like other children, he was still quite envious when he saw other children being taken away by their parents to buy snacks.

Valerie touched his hair. She felt that this boy was so obedient that it made her heart ache.

Chapter 278

Valerie was happy when she saw that he was happy. She said, “Then let’s go back. and make fried chicken for dinner!”

When he thought of the fried chicken made by Valerie, the little boy was about to drool. “Yay! Your fried chicken are the best in the world!”

Valerie smiled and joked, “You’re so sweet. You better not say such sweet nothings if you have a little girl whom you like in the future.”

As she spoke, she received a call from Julian.

Coincidentally, she also wanted to ask him if he had successfully gotten a divorce. However, she did not dare to make it too obvious as she was afraid that Aiden would hear her. She only asked vaguely, “How’s the matter today?”

On the other end of the phone, Julian sighed. “Ashley was busy today so we didn’t go. We made an appointment to go to city hall tomorrow.”

Valerie was shocked.-

She did not want to think badly of her former sister–in–law, but at this point, she could not help but doubt Ashley’s motives and morals. She asked, “You guys will go tomorrow? She’s not up to any tricks, is she?”

Julian sounded a little frustrated as he said, “I don’t care… Anyway, I’ve already made it clear to her. The deposit for the house has already been paid. After two days, I’ll transfer half of the money to her after we’re through with the divorce so I told her not to cause any trouble.”

After that, he changed the topic. “But then again, now that I’ve decided to divorce her, my business will improve a lot.”

“How so?” Valerie asked.

ent to the Julian replied, “There are so many strange orders today and they’re all same address. I wonder if they’re from a big company. There’s an endless order of fruit gift boxes. I’ve made dozens of deliveries today. It’s not like I’ve specially promoted so why are there suddenly so many orders?”

Valerie could not help but laugh. “Shouldn’t you be happy that business is good? If someone is willing to buy so much, it means that the quality of your fruit has been recognized. You can earn more money and gain confidence when the time comes, right?”

Chapter 278

Julian thought about it and agreed. “You’re right. My fruits are all carefully

selected. There’s no doubt about their quality. It’s almost the end of the year so the strawberries and cherries are ripe. I’ll send some over to you another day. They’re big and sweet.”

“Alright, thank you!” She did not decline.

Since she was pregnant now, it was good for her to eat more fruits.

After chatting with Julian for a while, a horn sounded behind her. Aiden turned around and shouted, “Mr. Grant is here!”

Valerie turned around and saw the small familiar car slowly moving in the traffic. It looked inexplicably cute and funny.

Matthew had been driving for a long time and had gotten used to this small car. He noticed Valerie carrying Aiden’s school bag. He did not know why a preschooler’s school bag was already this heavy. Even Valerie found it a little difficult to carry it.

He easily maneuvered the car to the side and said, “Get in.”

Aiden was extremely excited. “Yay, we finally don’t have to walk anymore!”

Valerie opened the car door and Arden climbed in with his short legs. He sat properly in the back seat and fastened his seatbelt.

Valerie smiled. Aiden was such a smart and obedient boy. How could Ashley bear to do those things to him? Didn’t she think about how Aiden would see her when he grew up?

Shaking her head, Valerie looked at Matthew curiously and said, “Mr. Grant, it’s rare to see you get off work so early today.”

Matthew simply replied, “I’m free today.”

He noticed that she opened her mouth to say something, but stopped. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “What do you want to say?”

She chuckled and said, “How do you know I have something to say? Let me tell you, something very strange happened today. I don’t know how the rumors in the company spread, but they are becoming more and more ridiculous. They said that I entered the company with special privileges, that I have someone backing me in the Noria Group, and that I’m Charles’s relative. It’s absurd…”

Matthew’s hand froze for a moment. He only relaxed when he heard the words “Charles’s relative“.
