BXBX NOVEL Chapter 272 - 272: That Bitch
Valerie took back her cell phone, and her face was clouded.
The one who looked into her whereabouts was her cousin, Savannah, and the man who had saved her, needless to say, must be her uncle, Dylan. If it weren\'t for Dylan, her cousin wouldn\'t have been so lucky!
She thought that Savannah had given up on Olivia\'s case, but in fact, she kept investigating it secretly.
Savannah must grudge her living a rich life, so she wanted to ruin her life!
And now Savannah successfully got the damn rogue to knock on her door!
Valerie recovered and said coldly, "don\'t get so nosy. You can go."
Mike shrugged and didn\'t bother to ask. Anyway, money was more important. He turned and left Rosemount Villa.
Valerie collected her emotions and returned to the house as if nothing had happened.
Upstairs to her room, she transferred a hundred thousand dollars into Mike\'s bank account with a sigh of relief. As long as she can shut up the rascal, a hundred thousand dollars wouldn\'t hurt.
The children of the Sterling family would have their own family account after they got married, and they would receive a certain amount of money in their account every month as a family fund.
Her monthly allowance was quite large, and Devin often bought her expensive jewelry to please her.
After a short rest, Valerie went downstairs. Devin just came back from the company and was changing his shoes on the porch.
She immediately walked over to him with a soft smile, like a good wife to welcome her husband home. "Devin, you\'re back."
"Well. I heard from the servant that someone called on you today. Who\'s that?" "Devin asked casually as he loosened his tie.
Valerie was thrown off her balance for a moment and then quickly regained her composure, and, acting as if it was a slight matter, she laughed, "oh... Well, he\'s my distant cousin… He came to LA looking for a job, and my mom asked him to come to me…"
"Do you want me to get your cousin a job?" Devin said casually. It\'s not a big deal for him.
"No, no. I haven\'t seen him for more than ten years, and I don\'t know him very well. Why should I bother you to help him with his work? I gave him some suggestions and sent him away. You don\'t have to worry about that." Valerie waved her hand busily.
Devin was a little surprised. Since Valerie married him, she and her mother Norah had been used to showing off in front of their relatives. In order to show that they had the support of a powerful family now, Norah recommended several children of their relatives to the companies under the Sterling group.
Today, as Schultz\'s relative had come to their door, why did Valerie say no?
However, since Valerie put it this way, he did not bother to say more. He took off his coat and threw it in the servant\'s hand, walking into the living room, "we have a family dinner this weekend. Get ready, and I\'ll pick you up in the evening. Remember to perform well then."
"Oh, I see. In fact, I don\'t have to please grandpa specifically. As long as he saw my baby belly, he will be very happy." Valerie smiled and felt her belly.
"So long as you give me a healthy son, even if you want the moon in the sky, I will pick it for you." Devin looked at Valerie\'s pregnant belly with great satisfaction. Then he turned and shouted to the servants, "take good care of your young mistress! No accident is allowed! Do what she says to you, understand?"
"Yes, sir." The servants answered up in a chorus.
A satisfied smile played on Valerie\'s lips, "in fact, Devin, I don\'t really want anything but… I\'m not quite satisfied with the former caregiver. I want to hire Ms. Perry as my caregiver during my pregnancy. She\'s the most popular senior nurse in LA, and most of those dignified ladies from good families will hire her when pregnant. But she seemed to have already been hired by others. She refused to come even when I offered her a double wage."
"Then triple her wage. Nothing is more important than my son," said Devin quickly.
"Triple? Really?" Valerie was surprised.
"Of course. As long as she is the best nurse and can take care of our baby, the amount of money does not weigh." Devin took out his checkbook, wrote down a number, detached a check from it, and handed it to Valerie, "enough?"
"Enough." Valerie\'s eyes sparkled with satisfaction.
Devin put his hand on Valerie\'s pregnant belly, and in his eyes, there was a strange light. He could not have any more children. In Valerie\'s belly, it was the only child in his life, more precious than anything else.
***
The next morning, when Valerie had just finished her fine breakfast, a servant came in and whispered, "Mrs. Yontz, Ms. Perry\'s waiting for you in the living room."
Valerie wiped the corner of her mouth with her napkin, and her lips raised in a contented way. Last night, when she called Sarah Perry and told her that she would like to triple her fee, she agreed immediately.
Helped by a maid, she stood up gracefully and walked into the living room. Sarah was waiting for her.
"Good morning, Mrs. Yontz." Sarah greeted her respectfully.
"Ms. Perry, it\'s really nice to see you." Valerie smiled.
"Just call me Sarah." Sarah smirked and said, "I\'m sorry, Mrs. Yontz, I was hired by another boss before, so I had to refuse you."
"Well, Sarah. You refused to come even though I could pay you double times. Who was the last person to hire you?" Valerie asked with great interest. In LA, it seemed that there were few families richer than the Sterling family.
"Mrs. Yontz…" Sarah hesitated, "as the employment agreement, it\'s not good to give the identity of my client away..."
Valerie was more interested in who that pregnant woman. Could it be... a mistress of a man of influence? What\'s more, this man might have a stronger background than Devin, which made Sarah dare not change her job. Valerie narrowed her eyes, "I\'m your client now, Sarah, tell me."
