Chapter 18 Fight Back
The next day, Valarie woke up and threw up again.
“Valarie, I remember you used to be a good drinker. Why have you become like this now?” Collin hastily handed her water and brought her pills.
“I had not drunk for three years… And I suddenly drank so much. Naturally, I couldn’t stand it.”
Valarie knew that Gavin didn’t like women who smelled of alcohol, so she quit drinking during the three years she was married to him.
“Outsiders may think you are pregnant,” Collin teased her.
“If I’m pregnant with Gavin’s child, what will you guys do?” There was an imperceptible hint of sadness in Valarie’s eyes.
“What else can we do? Of course, we’ll help you raise your child. It is innocent no matter whose father it is.”
Collin hated Gavin very much, but he was upright, which was presumably the work ethic of a judicial officer.
“Don’t worry. How could Gavin deserve to have a child with me?” Valarie sneered, took a sip of water, and cleared her throat.
Collin said, “By the way, do you remember what happened last night?”
“I made trouble for Edwin, and Gavin seemed to have come. I don’t remember what happened after that.”
“Really?”

“I saw a handsome guy. He came over and helped me out? Well, I was too drunk at the time. Otherwise, I would have added him on Line.”
“That’s Quinten. Last night we went to his new club.”
Valaric lost all interest upon hearing Quinten’s name. “Forget it. That guy is very annoying.”
“Did you know you were dragged into the men’s room by Gavin?”
Valarie’s eyes widened, “What?”
“I don’t know what you two did there. You were hugging him and rubbing your nose against his clothes when I went in anyway.” Collin shook his head frequently.
Valarie gasped.
“Valarie, if I hadn’t gone in time to get you out of there, that bastard might have…”
“No, he wouldn’t. Gavin is not like Quinten.” Valarie held her forehead
in a fret.
“You’re even defending him at this point.”
“I’m not. He’s a decent guy, though he is cold and hates me.” Valarie was upset when she said that.
“But that jerk was out of his mind last night. He even asked me if I would marry you, and he told me not to trifle with you, saying that you have no powerful background and can’t afford to play love games.”
Collin gave a mocking smile. “Do you think he is a busybody?”
“Wait, why did he mention this to you?”
“Because he mistook me for Jason: So I asked him not to touch my Woman in the future. He was furious,” Collin said in triumph
“Go to hell!” Valarie got annoyed and threw her fist at Collin’s handsome face.

Roger had prepared a delicious and light breakfast. Knowing that Valarie had drunk a lot, he cooked porridge for her.
Valarie came downstairs to eat, wearing a pink silk slip nightgown. Her long hair hung down. She looked so sexy even though she was wearing lingerie underneath.
Roger blushed and looked away from her.
“There are young men at home. Can you think about our feelings?” Collin rolled an egg over his bruised cheek and looked like he couldn’t stand it.
“I’ve worn white dresses and sneakers for three years. I’m tired of them. Now I can wear whatever I want, and if I want to go out in the middle. of the night and run around naked, no one can stop me.” Valarie rolled her eyes and took a bite of bread.
“Why did you have to wear white dresses and sneakers for three years? Ms. Dodson, did you work as a teacher? Have you misguided them?” Roger asked with particular seriousness.
“None of your business!” the siblings said in unison.

Wearing exquisite makeup, a white suit, and Jimmy Choo shoes, Valarie once again became a stunning boss.

She went to the hotel in high spirits, although her head hurt badly.
Sitting in the office, Valarie recalled the morning conversation with Collin, and her feelings were a bit complicated.
She thought, “Last night, Gavin helped me out and said those things to Collin. Is he really concerned about me?
“How could it be? He was just upset that his humble ‘maid‘ had changed her looks and chosen a new master‘. That’s just male possessiveness.
“I will not repeat my mistake!”
At that moment, there were messages from the Secret Service.
Jason: “Valarie, the negative news about you was deleted yesterday afternoon, and the marketing accounts that slandered you have been banned.”
Jason: “Gavin did all this.‘
Valarie: “Then I should thank him.”
Odell: “Well, does he think he has solved the problem by deleting the news? Naive.”
Steve: “The Sheppard Group’s share prices only fluctuated slightly this morning. What a pity!”
Collin: “Valarie. Even though we can’t get back at him for now, we have to teach the Hull family a lesson first.”
Valarie: “Naturally. I’ll take revenge on them one by one.”
“Roger, come in,” Valarie said on the landline.

Roger came in quickly, “Ms. Dodson, what’s the matter?”
“Have you prepared the documents and evidence as I asked?” Valarie placed her hands on the armrests and turned her leather chair leisurely.
“Yes, I can hand them over to the authorities at any time.”
“No, there’s no rush yet.”
Valarie crossed her legs, her fair skin glistening in the sunlight. “Find a few media outlets close to the Dodson Group, such as Capfield News, and release the news to attract great attention.”
“If we get the media involved, things will become very troublesome. Why don’t we directly make a move on the Hull Group and catch them off guard?” Roger expressed his doubts.
“I value rituals. I won’t just slash my prey as soon as I get it. I’ll hold it down, slowly tortu
it, and let it bleed.” Valarie gently stroked the pearl bracelet from Leonard on her left wrist, her gaze cold and cruel.
Most importantly, after this matter was exposed, the Hull Group would encounter a difficult time. Stacey’s dad and brother were not qualified to talk to Valarie at all, so Stacey had to beg for Gavin’s help by then.
“Gavin, I can’t wait to see you fretting over your fiancée.”
***
That night, when most people were surfing the Internet, a piece of news was posted, and it caused an uproar in less than an hour.
“Important news! KS Group terminates all cooperation with the Hull Group due to serious quality issues.”
“Cutting corners? Ellie Home, the Hull Group’s home furnishing brand, is of questionable quality.”

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Sheldon and Edwin were not prepared at all. Besides, the staff of the PR department was unprofessional. It was impossible for them to control public opinion, and they could not delete all the negative comments.
“Gavin’s fiancée is from the Hull family, right? Before the wedding, they’ve exposed their true colors to their in–laws.”
“I thought his fiancée was from a big family, but they are just furniture sellers, and they are crooked!”
“Although I don’t want to get personal about such family issues, it’s really disgusting.”
“I’ve just ordered goods from Ellie Home. I must return them tomorrow. Bad luck!”
In the study, Gavin’s head throbbed as he listened to Derek reporting all this negative news about the Hull Group.
“The Dodson family is the richest in Capfield, and almost in all the industries they are engaged in, they are leading ones. The Dodson Group took the lead in boycotting the Hull Group. Which company dares to disobey it?”
Derek twisted his mouth, no sympathy for the Hull Group in his eyes. He taunted, “Fortunately, the Hull Group is not a listed company. Otherwise, their stock prices would fall sharply tomorrow morning. Sheldon has high blood pressure, and he’s petty. He’ll probably be furious and faint…”
Gavin lifted his cold eyes to Derek.
Frightened, Derek secretly stuck out his tongue, not daring to say anything else.
“There is no evidence. Maybe it’s fake news.”

Gavin breathed hard, his eyes gloomy. “How did this quality issue happen?”

“I heard that it was the new general manager of KS World Hotel in Polyergic City who took the lead in canceling their partnership with the Hull Group.
“Then within a week, all the hotels under the Dodson Group immediately canceled their cooperation with the Hull Group and replaced all of the Hull Group’s products.”
“How can the general manager of a hotel have so much power?”
“Because she is Valarie Dodson, the Dodson family’s eldest daughter.”
“Valarie?” Gavin thought.
His eyes narrowed.
Although he had not heard of it before, this name gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling.
