Chapter 321
William looked at the message sent by Marcus for a long time without replying.He had already suspected Valeria's identity a long time ago.
Although Ronald was vicious and shameless, William had always believed that a true father could never be evil towards his own children.
Since Ronald was good to his mistress’ daughter, Ashley, how could he treat Valeria so badly? So, there was only one explanation, which was that she was not his biological daughter.
He always had this assumption at the back of his mind, and it was not until Ronald did the paternity test that he confirmed that they were not biologically related.
Since Valeria had nothing to do with Ronald, then Valeria's true identity was very obvious.
Natalie had no relationship with any other men except for Archer.
Therefore, her biological father must be Archer.
This was the biggest problem for William.
If this truth was revealed, there would be strong objections against his relationship with Valeria.
If Hayden, who had opposed their relationship since the beginning, found out this truth, he would definitely use it to his advantage to stop their relationship.
Other than Hayden, the other people who would be against their relationship were Archer, Savannah, and Gavin.
However, it wouldn't matter to him if so many people were against them, but would Valeria be as unbothered as him? William was not sure! At the Saunders family's villa in Ruthorham, Archer returned
home at 11 o'clock at night.
Hearing the sound of his car, Savannah came down to greet him at the door, "You are back!"
Archer grunted in response and walked past her.She did not pay it any mind and followed him.
The two of them entered the living room together.
She had gotten used to his attitude, so she continued to ask him with a smile, "Why do you get home so late recently? Is there something wrong with the company?"
"Are you hoping that something would happen to the company?" He asked in reply.
"No, how would I ever? By the way, Raymond just called me and said that he will come back home tomorrow."
Raymond Saunders was Archer and Savannah's child who had been studying abroad.
Hearing that he was coming back, Archer was not happy and asked coldly, "Why is he coming back?"
"To work? He has already graduated from university.He can't stay abroad forever, right ?"
Savannah said with a smile, "He studied management, so you can personally teach him how to manage the company in the future!"
Archer didn't answer and lit a cigarette.
Savannah realized that he was in no mood to talk to her, so she asked the servant, "Have you prepared supper for Mr.Saunders?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"It's done!"
The maid served the supper on the table and respectfully called out to Archer, "Mr.Saunders, please have your supper."
He sneered and said, "I wouldn't dare eat it.I'll be dead if I eat this late-night snack."
After saying that, he threw away the cigarette butt and strode upstairs.
Savannah's face was pale.She knew what he meant.
Back then, she had the opportunity to get closer to him only because he ate drugged food and fell unconscious.
After that incident, she succeeded in getting pregnant and giving birth to her son before marrying Archer.
Although she married him, he had always been on guard against her like she was an enemy.
Over the past 20 years, he had never touched her nor ate anything prepared by her.She had worked hard to make changes, but she had never been able to change his view on her.
The servants were loyal towards her after serving her for more than twenty years.
Seeing that she was ignored again, they hurried to comfort her.
"Madam, don't worry about it.Mr.Saunders might have had a bad day at work today."
"Haha."
She went into the dining hall with a cold snort.She looked at the supper and said fiercely, "If he won't eat it, I'll eat it!"
After finishing her sentence, she picked up the chopsticks to have a few bites.
Alas, she didn't have any appetite.She slammed down the chopsticks and sighed heavily.
"Were my past choices a mistake? The maid didn't dare to say anything else.
"Madam, don't think too much."
"How can I not think about it? For more than 20 years, I've been showing my extravagant side to outsiders.Everyone admires me for marrying Archer who is handsome and a millionaire.But who knows that, deep down, I've been living like a widow for more than 20 years ? Who would know that I’m still a virgin?"
The servant was shocked and looked outside carefully.
She lowered her voice and said, "Madam, don't talk nonsense.Did you forget that you have Sir Raymond? He is your child! He is your flesh and blood with Mr.Saunders!"
A bitter smile flashed across her face.
"That's right.How could I forget that Raymond is my child! I was the one who gave birth to him!"
When it came to the phrase ‘give birth’, she gritted her teeth fiercely, as if she were going to kill someone.
Archer went upstairs and straight to his bedroom.
He and Savannah had been married for more than 20 years, but they had always slept in separate rooms.
Other than the night he fell unconscious after being set up by her, he had never touched her once in the past 20 years.
After he returned to his room, Archer locked the door and took a shower.
Lamont called and said, "Mr.Saunders, I have something to tell you.William may be the president of the Wolf Group."
"Has it been confirmed?" He asked.
"It's not confirmed yet, but Braelynn said that his signature is exactly the same as the president of the Wolf Group's.I've been observing him for two days, and the more I look at him, the more I feel that something's wrong.He looks nonchalant on the surface, but he's actually very responsible and intelligent when it comes to speaking and handling matters."
Archer was silent for a few seconds after hearing Lamont's words.
"If he were really the president of Wolf Group, Valeria would be in danger.He must have approached her in order to avenge his mother.
"Yes, I think so too.She listens to everything he says, and I heard that they are about to get their marriage certificate.I'm very anxious about this.Mr.Saunders, do you have any ideas?"
Archer thought in silence and asked, "Is my father-in-law not taking any action? He should be very clear about the pros and cons of this matter...In that case, why is he not stopping it?"
"I'm not sure either.Hayden should be against their relationship.But if William really is the president of Wolf Group, how could he be controlled by Hayden?"
Archer agreed and asked, "Is there any possibility that William is really in love with Valeria? Can he give up his revenge for his love towards her?"
"That's impossible, isn't it? The hate against the person behind a loved one's death is strong.If William really is the president, he could have any woman in the world.Why would he go for Valeria? I think he
got closer to her for revenge.If not, how could it be such a huge coincidence that he saved her and continued protecting her?"
