Julie and her daughter had no idea it would turn out this way, and they were furious.
They were not alone. Mason was literally blazing with anger at thought of Marcus's excessive shielding to his driver.
Mason told Elizabeth about it, "Aunt Elizabeth, Marcus goes too far. It was a real slap in the face when he stood up for that driver. He never fluffed us off."
Elizabeth was painting her nails when she heard the words that made her glance at Mason.
"So what's on your head? You putting me up to persuade your uncle to go against with Marcus? Do you think I'm stupid? To get in Dutch with Marcus for an illegitimate daughter's sake?"
Mason blushed for Elizabeth's words. He was indeed trying to make mischief between them to make Elizabeth convince Charles to go against with Marcus.
To be seen through by Elizabeth, Mason felt embarrassed .
'I'm only asking for uncle to put pressure on Marcus. He's just a chauffeur. Marcus doesn't have to be on a war path with the Howard family for him."
"What if Marcus doesn't buy it? Then the Howard family will become enemies with Wolf Group? Why would I trade such a trivial matter for such a powerful enemy?"
"This is nothing small. Bob has not only insulted Ashley but also hurt the baby. Terrible if something were to happen to the baby!"
"More accurate, it's just an embryo. Seriously? Let me make it clear. I'm helping Julie and her daughter for Ronald's money, not Ashley's baby."
Elizabeth sneered scornfully, "Each woman in the world can birth a baby beside her. Give me a reason that I help her?"
Elizabeth's words brought Mason back down to earth. The scene leaped into his mind, in which Valeria arrogantly said he was inferior to her boyfriend in all aspects.
The scorn in her voice and the indifference on her face made him so angry that he couldn't put up with it.
Marcus was a dangerous man to cross, but he had to make Valeria pay the price.
"Aunt Elizabeth, Valeria is so arrogant. I can't wait any longer to get out the plagiarism thing."
Elizabeth glanced at Mason, "Do you get yourself prepared for sure? I got to remind you that you have to think twice before it. Being impulsive won't be of any help."
"Yes, everything is ready, evidence is sufficient, and the villa belongs to Wolf Group. Designer's plagiarism will have repercussions for its reputation, which will affect its interests. I would like to watch how will Marcus protect the outsider, Valeria."
"Since that's the case, why don't you give it a try? I'll look forward to hearing some good results." Elizabeth nodded.
In Mason's view, Valeria had been getting her nose in the air recently, and it was time to teach her a lesson.
In Lake View Nest. Valeria's eye started to spasm out of control and she sneezed a few times. She frowned, "Who is scolding me? Is bad things coming for me again?"
That made William burst into laughter, "The air conditioner is set too cold. You might have caught a cold?"
"I don't think so, because I have a twitching eye, too. Hear this, bad news will come to me if my eye jumps. Last time, I caught Mason and Ashley when my eyelids twitched. Later, my eyelids twitched and I was abducted. So this time, there must be nothing good going
on"
William pinched her nose, "Don't be so superstitious."
"It's not superstition. I suspect that something bad is going to happen."
"Relax, you have me." William held her in his arms, "I'm here with you, and I'll protect you from any bad thing!"
