Chapter 367
Matthew strode away without hesitation.
Angel stared at the door in a daze and then broke down. She picked up the lamp from the bedside table, threw it to the floor, and burst into tears.
Hearing Angel cry bitterly. Charles outside the door couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. However, when he saw Matthew’s cold expression, he didn’t dare to say anything. If he hadn’t seen Matthew smile at his wife with his own eyes, he would have thought his boss was a machine.
Photos, Matthew said.
Charles immediately handed over to him the photos that the paparazzi had taken.
Watching the half–naked Angel in the photos, Matthew sneered. “Send these to the Santos family. Let her entire family enjoy them”
“Yes” Charles thought, “Why is that superstar so crazy about a heartless man like Mr. Grant Now, Mr. Grant no longer feels guilty about her, so if she plays tricks again, Mr. Grant will surely ruin her reputation and make her regret it
“My phone
Charles immediately handed over Matthew’s phone. Matthew glanced at it a few times but did not see any missed calls from Valerie.
Valerie had called once when Matthew was in the banquet hall, but he couldn’t hear her clearly and didn’t want her to suspect his location, so he simply hung up. Worried that he might miss her calls while occupied with other matters, Matthew entrusted Charles to answer hit calls.
Could Valerie have fallen asleep? But it was only eight o’clock. Matthew called Valerie.
A robotic voice came from the other end of the line, “Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off
Matthew frowned slightly. Why couldn’t he reach that woman?
Aiden Fruit Shop
“Valerie, you’re a big girl. How did you end up like a drowned
valerie took a shower and came out of the bathroom Julian immediately handed her a towel. Valerie took it and wrapped it around her head. She smiled and said. “What could I do? There was a puddle by the roadside and a car happened to pass by. I guess it was just bad luck.”
Julian was armised. “Come on, cheer up. He glanced at the man who was wiping his hair with a towel at the shop entrance. After hesitating for a while, he asked, “Valerie, tell me, who is that man! Why are you with him at this lase hour? Where’s Matthew?”
Valerie knew that Julian must have misunderstood and sighed helplessly. “Have you forgotten? He’s Katherine’s eldest brother, Louis. You guys have met before
Upon hearing that, Julian recalled having seen Louis before. However, the man he remembered was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, appearing calm, totally different from his current drenched appearance. Thus, he didn’t recognize him at first.
Julian approached Louis with a smile and said, “Thank you for bringing Valerie back. The bathroom is free now. Why don’t you take a shower? If you don’t mind, you can wear my clothes. They’re clean.”
Louis wanted to refuse, but as most of the dirty water had splashed onto him while shielding Valerie from it, now his wet shirt clung uncomfortably to his body, smelly and dirty. He nodded. “Thank you.”
Julian brought Louis some of his clean clothes, then went to the front to sell fruit.
There was a small cubicle in the fruit shop originally used as a storeroom Julian had just sold his apartment and couldn’t find a new one right away. so he temporarily converted the storeroom into a lounge. It had a simple bathroom inside,
Louis was about to push the bathroom door open when suddenly a hand appeared out of nowhere and blocked his path
Valerie blocked the door and smiled insincerely. “The place is a bit shalley. Mr. Santos, someone like you won’t be accustomed to it. Why don’t you take a bath when you get home!”
Louis sighed helplessly. “Valerie, are you still angry! I apologize to you on behalf of Angel, okay? I didn’t expect her to go so far today. I’ll teach her a lesson when I get home,”
Louis didn’t know what Angel had done. However, he had also attended tonight’s party and saw Valerie in the corridor. When he noticed Valerie leaving in a daze, he realized she had probably discovered Matthew’s true identity.
Not long after Valerie left, Angel also left. Worries, Louis went out to look for them and witnessed Angel’s actions. Without giving it a second

thought, he rushed over to shield Valerie from the dirty water, but she was still so
soaked
Louis offered to drive Valerie home, but she declined. As a gentleman, Louis couldn’t bear to see Valerie suffer. Besides, if it weren’t for Angel Valerie wouldn’t have ended up like this. Therefore, he insisted on taking Valerie to her brother. Along the way, Valerie remained silent. It was only when she saw Julian that she cheered up a little.
Louis had been worried that something would happen to Valerie. Now, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. But where was Matthew? He had been hiding his identity all this time but still messed things up!
