Chapter 136
The relatives who were closer heard Ashley
Valerie’s aunt could not help but be puzzled. “Valerie, when did you get married? Why haven’t I heard your mother mention it? Why didn’t you inform us?”
Valerie smiled. “Although I’m married, I haven’t held a wedding yet because I’m too busy with work. When my work is more laxed, I’ll choose a day to invite all then.” Valerie’s words were well-
of you to attend my wedding. I hope you’ll thought and considerate.
The aunt was frowning just now, but when she heard Valerie’s words, she nodded happily. “I sec. Alright. Val is the most outstanding girl in our family. I’ll come to your wedding, of course.”
Seeing that this matter was about to be brushed off by Valerie, Ashley interrupted unhappily, “Aren’t you curious about what kind of man Valerie married? She married a driver. He’s at the beck and call of his boss.”
“Driver? Valerie, is your husband a driver?” Her aunt’s tone instantly changed.
Not only her aunt, but even the relatives around her knew about drivers as well. They were no different from servants. At most, they were truck drivers. They were not very promising. Everyone’s expressions changed.
Valerie knew Ashley did it on purpose, but what she said was the truth.
Valerie didn’t care. Seeing everyone’s strange expressions, her heart burned with displeasure. There was nothing wrong with being a driver.
Valerie retorted, “That’s right. My husband is a driver, but he works hard to earn money. He’s honest and motivated. He’s patient and serious about people and things. He’s a very good person. At least, he’s a hundred times better than some people who stay home and do nothing besides sucking their in–laws‘ dry. Ashley, don’t you think so?”
Valerie was targeting Ashley in particular. Ashley stayed home all day and said she was a full–time housewife but did not even do housework. She often did it after her brother got off work. As for Aiden, Julian picked him up and sent him to school.

Valerie did not know what Ashley did every day and often saw her holding her phone and giggling.
Valerie had never cared about other people’s family matter, so no matter what Ashley was like, if her brother could endure it, she s I not say anything.
However, if Ashley ridiculed her, Valerie would not let anyo.ie bully her.
Ashley’s face had turned red. She did not expect the usually gentle Valerie to rebut her. She was furious, but she still had to force a smile. “But Valerie, you’re good- looking since young and so decisive. I was looking forward to you marrying into a good family. Who would have thought that you would marry a driver? Now, you don’t even dare to bring him to a birthday party. This doesn’t make sense.”
Valerie’s tone was calm. “Although he’s not here, he brought his wishes. Mom didn’t say anything, so you don’t have to sweat it.”
This sentence angered Ashley. At this moment, she happened to hear Melinda praise Ruth’s gold bracelet. Ruth said that it was a gift from Valerie. In the end, Melinda thought that the golden earrings were also a gift from Valerie. Ashley so angry that she gritted her teeth.
At this moment, the sound of a car came from the entrance of the hotel. A Mercedes drove over and instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

Ashley’s face immediately turned from anger to joy. She rushed over impatiently. “Marcus.”
Valerie was slightly surprised. She had a deep impression of her sister–in–law’s younger brother, Marcus Dunn. He liked to start businesses, but everything he did failed and he got into debt. Even the betrothal gift that her eldest brother had. given her sister–in–law had been used to repay his debt.

Valerie didn’t know how Marcus was suddenly so lucky. Now, he drove a Mercedes. However, his arrogant personality hadn’t changed. It was a cloudy day, but he still pretended to be cool and wore a pair of black sunglasses, a fancy leather jacket, and a thick crocodile leather bag. His wife and son were also dressed in the same style, as if afraid that others wouldn’t know that he had made a fortune.
Marcus greeted Ashley when he got out of the car. Then, he took out a gift box

from the car. It was a gift for Ashley, and it a branded bag.
When Ruth was upset her limelight was stolen, Marcus took out a gift box. “Ruth, this is for you. You must accept it.”
When Ruth opened it, she was shocked to see that it was a gold vase.
Marcus said, “I had this custom–made. I originally planned to place it in my company, but when I heard it was your birthday, I came to give it to you. Happy birthday, Ruth.”
Ruth’s eyes went wide. The smile on her face was so wide that it almost reached her ears. She was surprised and happy. She sighed. “Marcus, you’ve made it big. I knew you were good at business. Now it seems like you’ve made a lot of money.”
Marcus pretended to be humble and waved his hand. “You flatter me. I was just lucky and earned a little.”
Ashley felt proud that she had her family to support her. “Marcus, don’t be
humble. Your construction material business is finally doing well. The income in the first half of the year alone is close to 100,000 dollars. If that is just a little ” Ashley glanced at Valerie and couldn’t help but ridi..
