Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

Chapter 751

Olivia patted Valerie and said, "You have a heavy burden. Take good care of your family, but also remember to be a bit selfish and prioritize yourself first." Olivia didn't say much more, her concern primarily for Sophia's distress. She thought, 'Sophia has also had a hard life. After losing her son and enduring so much, she finally saw some relief and joy with the arrival of her great-grandson. Now, with the rumors of Matthew's death, it would be a devastating blow if it were true.'

At that moment, Valerie realized the gravity of the situation. She knew that if Matthew were truly dead, the Grant family would likely turn against her, possibly even chasing her out. Noria Group was the last bastion she was protecting for Matthew, and she was determined not to give up or let anyone succeed in their schemes.

"Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Redfield, don't worry. I believe Matthew will return; he never goes back on his word. I've already traced the source of the rumors and will make sure they're silenced. Even if Matthew isn't here, as long as I'm around, no one will be able to bully us!" Valerie exclaimed.

Hearing this, both felt reassured. Valerie was the backbone of the Grant family, and they trusted that she would pull through. After bringing Sophia back from the hospital, Valerie, along with Charles and her bodyguards, headed straight to the Mckee family.

When they arrived, Valerie kicked the door open, startling Jared. Her bodyguards immediately stopped the servants. Jared, enraged, demanded, "Who dares to be so reckless?"

The Mckee family, while not a prominent family in Kranson City, was not one to be easily trifled with. Seeing Valerie's strikingly beautiful face, Jared was taken aback. He couldn't recall any past conflict with someone of her stature.

"Mr. Mckee, you should know that I don't come without reason. I'm sure you understand why I'm here," Valerie said.

Jared looked at Valerie with some surprise. Charles, standing beside her, clarified, "This is Mrs. Grant from the Grant family."

Jared then realized that the person standing before him was the main figure affected by the rumors. He thought, 'I didn't expect the Grant family to come knocking so soon. This is happening way too quickly.'

Valerie smiled and gestured for Charles to set down the gifts.

Jared quickly said, "Please, have a seat!"

"Thank you, Mr. Mckee. I apologize for my abrupt visit today. I tend to be quite impatient, and I may have been a bit overstepping. I've heard much about your esteemed reputation in the industry, so I came uninvited to offer these gifts as an apology. I hope you can forgive my earlier rudeness," Valerie said.

Jared's lips twitched before he managed a smile. "Mrs. Grant, your action is quite beyond me. What exactly is it that you're implying?"

Valerie replied, "This is a gift for you, Mr. Mckee. I'd appreciate it if you could keep your mouth shut. Since I've come barging into your residence today, I might not be so polite next time!

"I'm confident that your bodyguards won't be able to stop me. Even though Matthew isn't here, Noria Group still has me, Valerie Warren. If this happens again and I find out the rumors originated from you, I won't hesitate to make you a historical footnote in Kranson City. Even without Matthew, Noria Group can still crush the Mckee family!"

Jared trembled at Valerie's words. "Mrs. Grant, are you threatening me? I do not take kindly to threats! Furthermore, whether Matthew is alive or dead, do you have any evidence that he's still alive? I'm merely speculating-perhaps it's just their overthinking!"

Valerie leaned back on the sofa with

a sneer, crossing her legs. She looked at Jared and said, "Is that so? Today, you can claim that Matthew is dead abroad, but I can just as easily say that your children abroad were accidentally struck by stray bullets in Mitaolian! What would you call that-rumor or fact?

"I'm just speculating. If your children happened to face misfortune, it would be around eight tonight. It's a pity, that the beautiful Miss Mckee was living alone in an apartment. Some might inevitably have ill intentions!"

As she spoke, Charles handed over several photos of Jared's children, showing them in recent days, living abroad. The dates on the photos were from the past couple of days.

Jared was stunned, his forehead was covered with cold sweat. While it wasn't difficult for Valerie to track his children abroad, the safety of their location was not guaranteed. With Valerie now focused on them, Jared struggled to speak.

At that moment, Valerie looked at Jared's face and couldn't help but smile. "I came here today just to see Mr. Mckee. Since the message has been delivered, I won't say more. We'll have plenty of time in the future!"Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

As Valerie turned to leave, Jared

hurriedly called out, "Wait! Mrs. Grant, this wasn't my intention. It was all Fred's idea! He's the one who spread the rumors and claimed that Noria Group would be his. I merely went along with it. The truth is, Matthew's fate has nothing to do with me. Please, Mrs. Grant, show mercy!

"The Mckee family is non-prominent in Kranson City compared to Noria Group. I'm fully aware of our shortcomings. So, Mrs. Grant, I beg you to show mercy and not make things difficult for my children."

Upon hearing this, Valerie smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll consider this a misunderstanding and let bygones be bygones. We'll let it go this time. Let's go."

Jared's heart was in his throat as he

watched them leave. He

immediately called his children

abroad, urging them to reunite and return as quickly as possible, fearing that any delay could be fatal. He thought, 'That damned Fred almost got me into serious trouble! Mrs. Grant is nothing like the rumors suggest-she's genuinely formidable!'

Jared realized that the sharp tactics and quick reflexes demonstrated were beyond what Fred could handle. It was clear that the disorganized lot of the Grant family was no match for Valerie.

As Valerie stepped out the door, she asked, "Where is Fred Grant?"

"He's at the hotel. The side branches of the Grant family are supporting him and have even booked him a long-term presidential suite."

Charles's comment elicited a sneer from Valerie. "The presidential suite offers good privacy, which is perfect for what we need. Let's go find him now! I'm eager to see what excuses he'll come up with. And if it comes to it, don't hold back!"

Charles was immediately thrilled, realizing how much Valerie resembled Matthew. He had feared that she, being a woman, might show some weakness in this situation, but it turned out that Valerie was even more resolute and formidable than he had anticipated.
