Chapter 501

So far, that seemed the case.

Valerie’s eyes turned cold. “I know Angel hates me and most likely wanted to harm me, but unexpectedly, she got Olivia injured so badly!”

Angel was in the wrong but refused to repent of her sins. She knew Olivia’s health was too poor to take any blows, but she still revealed the news that she was not Sarah in front of Olivia.

Charles was shocked. “I didn’t expect Angel to be such a person. Mrs. Anderson has treated her as her granddaughter and doted on her every way these years. She spoiled Angel a lot. When Angel fell out with Mr. Grant and tried to kill herself back then, Mrs. Anderson even invited medical experts from Enroka to save her, staying by her bed all night to take care of her. Even Angel’s parents felt shamed when comparing what Mrs. Anderson had done for Angel.

“Unfortunately, Mrs. Anderson has raised such a dreadfully ungrateful rascal all these years. Angel is a vicious girl. I’ll report this to Mr. Grant now. Mr. Grant will settle the score with Angel!”

Valerie frowned but stopped Charles. “Don’t!”

“Mrs. Grant?” Charles was puzzled when he heard Valerie sigh.

Valerie said, “We can’t prove that I picked the bottle then, so even if there were fingerprints, Angel wouldn’t admit it. After all, I didn’t point her out on the spot. If she goes back on her word later and insists we slandered her, we can’t do anything to her.”

Unless there was hard evidence, Angel had nothing to fear.

Charles was anxious to hear that. “Are we just going to

her get away with it?”

Valerie shook her head. The light in her eyes concentrated gradually, and her lips curled into a sneer. “Those who commit injustice will bring about their destruction. Since I already know Angel did it, I will have a way to deal with her. Just don’t spread the word about it. Considering her personality, she will probably want to attack again soon after this failure!”

‘After all, Angel seems to hate my guts. Unfortunately, I’m usually easy to talk to, but sharp glint flashing across her eyes, Valerie was already thinking about fighting back

Charles nodded, and meanwhile, he admired Valerie’s meticulousness.

After saying goodbye to Charles, Valerie returned to Slotmond Estate.

Some professional caregivers were taking care of Olivia. Valerie wanted to stay, but Olivia thought Valerie had just recovered and should not overwork herself, so she chased Valerie back home.

Valerie did not have any objections. She could seize the chance to make some food the next day and take it to Olivia.

Surprisingly, Matthew was also at home.

Matthew was working on the sofa. The first thing he did when he saw Valerie was to push up his gold–rimmed glasses.

Then he asked, “Where have you been?”

For some reason, his words inexplicably gave Valerie a sense of guilt and made her feel like being caught cheating.

Valerie found it amusing and annoying. She did not intend to hide Angel’s evil doings from him.

However, just as the words were about to slip her mouth, she thought of something and winked at him. “It’s a secret. By the way, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it!”

Matthew was worried. “Can you do that? You have just recovered not long ago.”

Valerie smiled. “Yeah, sure. The doctor said it was nothing serious. If you’re worried, come and help me. We’ll make something simple.”

She was not a person who loved lying flat and doing nothing. Besides, she thought it was boring to lie in bed after recovery. Moreover, she liked to cook and see the satisfied look on Matthew’s face when he ate, which she believed was the best praise for a cook.

Matthew followed closely behind her.

When Valerie picked up the food, he took it over and placed it in the sink. “I’ll do it,”

Valerie got the spaghetti. He took it over again and filled it with water. “Let me do it.”

Valerie grabbed the spatula. This time, Matthew took it away again. But Valerie quickly stopped him as he was about to put it into the sink. “Matthew, what are you doing?”

There was a faint smile in her eyes. The teasing intent was too obvious. A rare trace of embarrassment appeared on Matthew’s usually unsmiling

face.

He put down the things in his hands and wrapped his arms around Valerie’s waist. The feeling in his hands was a little fulfilling, completely different from when he first met her. She was carrying their child. He was so stupid as not to have noticed it after so long. He thought she had gained weight and was even smug about finally successfully fattening her up.

That must be something their child might make fun of him later.
