Hospital VIP ward.
Kendrick lay on the sickbed, his face pale.
He was not seriously injured, but he lost a lot of blood and had two stitches on his arm.
At this moment, the right arm is wrapped in thick bandages and leaning on the hospital bed.
A usually dignified man, after the turmoil of last night, also appeared somewhat disheveled.
I probably didn’t get enough rest, and there were some dark circles under my eyes.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette case. When he opened it, it was empty.
Some restlessly thrown on the bedside table.
Milton on the side immediately took out a cigarette from his own pocket and handed it over.
Last night, Kendrick was beaten and Milton was present at the scene.
He was the one who arranged to bring the person to the hospital and also stayed here for one night.
Kendrick took the cigarette and glanced at him, saying, “It’s okay, you can go back first.”

Milton had not slept all night, and a bit of stubble had sprouted on his chin.

He took out a lighter, produced a cluster of flames, and casually helped Kendrick light his cigarette.
“Okay, then you rest well. I’ll leave first.”
Milton had just left for a few minutes when his assistant Robert came in.
There was a large crowd of people behind.
Early in the morning, Erica heard that her son had been beaten at a bar last night, and she rushed to the hospital in a state of panic.
She had already heard the whole story on the way.
These days, Erica was having a cold war with Kendrick.
The reason, of course, was that Kendrick betrayed her by secretly holding a press conference and changing his engagement partner to Valerie.
Talia was barely considered suitable to be a daughter–in–law of the Deven family, let alone Valerie.
She had agreed to let Talia marry Kendrick, based on the child’s wholehearted devotion.
But what about Valerie?
Her origin was unknown, her background was a mystery, and Erica didn’t pay any attention to her at all.
Such a big matter as engagement, Kendrick didn’t even

consult with her, a mother, and made the decision on his own?
Is there still her mother in her eyes?
Erica was fuming, waiting for Kendrick to apologize to her, only to receive news that her son had been beaten.
She rushed to the hospital to visit, and as a result, Oscar’s family and Craig’s family received the news and also came along.
Kendrick frowned as a large group of people suddenly appeared in the hospital room, but he didn’t say much.
As Erica entered, she immediately had a cold expression on her face.
“Kendrick, what happened to you? You got beaten up by a woman? What’s the deal with Talia? Wasn’t she the one who used to argue and insist on marrying you? And now she’s gone to such extremes against you? I think she’s just too wild!”
Kendrick remained silent, simply smoking his cigarette.
In his mind, the image of last night couldn’t help but emerge, with Talia holding a bottle of alcohol and throwing it at him.
Cold and aloof.
Like her, but not quite like her, she became much colder towards him.
Kelsey Morris from Craig’s family interjected, “Erica, no matter what, it was Kendrick who first wronged Talia, so we can’t solely blame that girl for this matter.”

Kelsey and Erica were not getting along, so when the
opportunity arose, Kelsey naturally decided to step on her.
toes.
Erica glanced at Kelsey, but Kelsey seemed oblivious and continued to talk incessantly.
A few days ago, Kendrick and someone booked a hotel room, and didn’t they get caught? Who could tolerate such a thing happening to them?
“It was not me speaking to Talia, a stranger, but simply discussing matters.”
“You have to blame, only blame your own son for his mischief, not Talia.”
Erica held her breath and looked at Kelsey with eyes as sharp as knives, “Are you saying that my son was beaten for nothing?”
“Of course not, how could Kendrick be beaten for nothing!” Celia Deven stepped forward, gritting her teeth. “I’m going to find Talia and settle the score!”
As the words fell, Celia turned around and prepared to run
out.
Kendrick: “Come back!”
Celia: “Kendrick?!”
Kendrick: “Not embarrassed?”
These past few days, Maplehelm has been spreading the ups and downs between him and Talia.

The same thing happened again last night, which confirmed that Kendrick cheated.
Wouldn’t it be a laughingstock if the Deven family went to settle scores with Talia at this moment?
Not only did he cheat, but he also made someone clean up his

If Celia had really done that, it would have put him in an irreparable situation.
At this moment, Nathaly from Oscar’s family also spoke, “Kendrick, why didn’t you see your fiancee? You were injured so badly, didn’t she come to see you?”
This remark did remind everyone.
Yeah, where was Valerie?
Kendrick ended up in this situation, but he couldn’t escape from Valerie’s involvement. If it weren’t for marrying her, why would Kendrick be at odds with Erica?
How did it come to the point of being beaten up by Talia again?
How did it come to be that he became the laughingstock of Maplehelm?
As soon as the words fell, Valerie walked in with a bouquet of flowers. “Kendrick, I came to see you… Ah!”
Before Erica could finish her sentence, she slapped Valerie
across the face.
The flowers fell to the ground in an instant and were crushed

Erica wore a diamond ring on her hand, and the ring was so tough that it cut a blood mark on Valerie’s fair and tender
face.
Valerie was slapped in the face out of nowhere and didn’t even have time to react.
Erica’s second slap followed closely behind.
“How dare you show your face here! You vixen! Seducing my son! Look at what you’ve done to my son Kendrick!”
“Not only did it make him the subject of ridicule, but it also caused a rift between me and my son!”
“Who did you come here to disgust?”
Valerie always knew that Erica didn’t like her.
In Valerie’s impression, Erica was a wealthy lady who always carried herself with an air of superiority.
Even if I didn’t like her, at most I would just give her a cold look.
Valerie was caught off guard when Erica suddenly took action and received two solid slaps, causing both sides of her face to swell up.
Erica’s eyes turned crimson, her chest heaving. In that moment, upon seeing Valerie, she wished she could rush forward and tear her apart.
What did she want to marry her son to?

Kendrick couldn’t see through Valerie’s tricks, so how could Erica, being a woman herself, not see through them either?
As a wealthy lady, Erica didn’t know how many women like Valerie she had to deal with in order to maintain her position as a socialite.
In plain terms, it is just a group of gold diggers. They are only after money and power, hoping to rely on men to climb up and live a good life.
Rodrigo Deven, the husband, had grown old, and finally, in the past two years, his life had become somewhat peaceful.
Who would have thought that, without paying attention, the womanizer would set his sights on her son Kendrick?
Erica was strong–willed and had no tolerance for nonsense.
Seeing Valerie now, I was reminded of the cold war that had erupted between me and my son Kendrick in the past few days because of this woman.
Over the years, Kendrick had never gone against her will, but this time he unexpectedly acted without consulting her and replaced their engagement partner with Valerie.
The key point is, she was the last one to know.
As soon as Erica realized that Kendrick was drifting away from her because of this woman, she couldn’t bear it anymore.
As women, Erica could see at a glance whether Valerie truly loved Kendrick or if she loved his power.
Valerie’s eyes were filled with calculations, although she hid them well, they were completely different from Talia! do e o N
