Chapter 140 Patrick Played Dirty

• Upon hearing my question, Valerie paused on the other line before she chuckled and asked, "Is something the matter, Annon?"
• "President Walters, there may be some things you can hide from Nylah but not from me. You did not look at her the same way a godmother would her goddaughter. Also, you bought her a villa and paid for the renovations, not to mention a sports car. This goes beyond just buying me the estate, right? Because if that were the case, the villa and the car would have been presents for me instead, but you kept bringing Nylah into all this," I pointed out.
• "I hardly think it matters whom I give those presents to, Annon. Besides, I don't have children of my own to spoil, so why shouldn't I indulge in Nylah for a bit?" Valerie went on to explain with a warm laugh. "Contrary to your belief, I didn't actually splurge on the villa, at least not by the standards of someone who dabbles in real estate. The rest of high society has far looser spending habits than I do, Annon; you just haven't seen enough of it yet to know better."
