“I’ll do anything you want me to do,” Sebastian added. He knew that Valeria might hate him for doing something like that, but it did not matter. He didn’t care about that. 

As long as Valeria divorced Shane, Sebastian would still have a small chance with her. Sebastian knew his behavior was despicable and shameless, but he just wanted her. 

Sebastian did not hear an answer for quite some time, and Valeria remained silent. After a while, with a trembling and anxious voice, he practically begged, “Valeria, could you please 

divorce him?” 

“We’re not married.” Valeria looked through the slit of the curtain and watched as Sebastian parked his car downstairs. 

Taking a deep breath, she clenched her fingers tightly and explained, “We’ve already gotten a divorce four years ago, and we only got together for our own benefit. 

“There isn’t any romantic relationship between us, so Mr. Grant, are you satisfied with this piece of news?” 

Then, Valeria closed the curtains. 

She stood by the window and closed her eyes. “Don’t disturb the Clarks anymore. They’re just ordinary people, and your power can crush them to death. Whether Shane is in the picture or not, there will never be a future between us.” 

With that, Valeria ended the call. 

That night, she dreamt of her days in high school. 

Gabriela had looked at Valeria proudly as she said, “So what if I’m the one who took your money? Who’s going to believe you?” 

The whole incident had also been suppressed by the Grant family’s power and influence. 

Valeria’s principal had also seen the video she submitted of Gabriela looking through her desk, taking a stuffed envelope, and sneaking out of the classroom. Everything had been caught on 

camera. 

However, the second the principal saw Wendy, he immediately smiled flatteringly. 

It turned out, the wealthy could indeed turn something wrong into something right. A simple sentence from them was enough to send a normal family about 1540 miles away from their original home.

By the time Mark arrived at Aurum, Sebastian was already slouched in the booth, looking slightly tipsy. There were several empty bottles on the table too. 

Mark waved his hand and instructed the waiter to clear all the bottles away. When he noticed that Sebastian seemed to be murmuring something, Mark inched closer. 

“She’s not married… She’s not married…” 

Mark had felt extremely guilty over the whole situation with Jane. After all these years, who would have thought that Sebastian had truly fallen for her. 

Wanting to help Sebastian up, Mark was quickly shoved to the side. Sebastian couldn’t even stand properly and quickly fell back to his seat. 

Sebastian’s voice was hoarse as he ordered another round of drinks. 

Seeing that Sebastian could not be stopped, Mark picked up a bottle and said, “Sebastian, I’ll drink with you. This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have let my mouth run like that when I was drunk. If I ever see her again, I’ll apologize to her on the spot.” 

By the time Simon arrived, Mark and Sebastian had already drunk too much. All the bottles on 

the table were toppled over. 

Mark did not have a high alcohol tolerance, so he had fallen onto the floor after passing out 

due to how drunk he was. 

Frowning, Simon asked a waiter to carry Mark up to the lounge upstairs. 

Then, he brought the drunk Sebastian out of Aurum. 

The black Maybach sped down the road, and it was extremely quiet inside the car. 

Simon glanced at the GPS and was about to turn when Sebastian’s hoarse voice sounded from the back seat. “Simon, she’s Jane…” 

“Who?” Simon asked absentmindedly. It was 2:00 am, so he was also a bit dazed. 

“Valeria.” 

Simon immediately stepped on the brakes, causing the tires to screech out loud. He was dumbfounded and questioned whether Sebastian was just spewing nonsense due to how drunk 

he was. 

How could Valeria be Jane? He had seen them both before, and he’d never thought of them as 

the same person.
