Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

Chapter 152

Valerie usually had a good physique and a balanced diet. If she had a flaw, it was that she was thin. When Katherine heard this, she shook her head in anger. "How unfair. Other people are afraid of gaining weight when they're pregnant. The doctor has to persuade them to eat less. Only you can be thin when you're pregnant. Even the doctor can't stand it and force you to gain weight." Valerie did not know whether to laugh or cry. She was also under a lot of pressure. When she was young, she was malnourished. When she grew up, she could not gain weight no matter how much she ate. It was difficult for her to gain weight.

However, for the sake of the baby, Valerie could only try. After leaving the hospital, she went to the market to buy a big fish and two pounds of pork ribs. In addition, she bought a chicken and various vegetables. Katherine had accompanied her for a long time, so Valerie invited her to dinner.

When they came out of the market, she received a call from Julian and learned that Ruth had been detained for fraud.

Julian was extremely anxious. "Valerie, I know you just had a falling out with Mom. It's not appropriate to tell you this now, but she's our... mother after all. Valerie, do you have any way for me to see her and bail her out?"

Valerie was stunned. However, on second thought, with Ruth's personality, it was not surprising that she would do such a thing.

"Julian, don't worry. Fraud can usually be appealed and one would have to go to jail. However, Mum is only detained for seven days now. This means the other side just wants Mum to learn a lesson and not do it again. If you let Murn out in a hurry now and anger the other side, the consequences will only be worse if they sue Murn in a fit of anger, Valerie explained.

When Julian heard that, he was speechless. 'Are we just going to let Mum stay inside?"

"Yeah, just stay in there," Valerie confirmed.

It was not that Valerie was heartless, but Ruth really needed some setbacks to learn her lesson and stop trusting outsiders so easily. Valerie was already used to Ruth being biased, so it did not matter. However, her brother had been busy organizing the birthday party. Ruth not only did not say anything nice, but instead, she wished Marcus was her son.

Valerie said in a low voice, 'Julian, don't worry. The legal system is fair and just. No one will starve Mum when she is inside. As for Marcus, if he didn't give her fake goods, there wouldn't be such a mess. You have to ask Ashely to remind him that since we're family, he can't do this again."

Julian agreed with Valerie.

After hanging up, Valerie stood rooted to the ground, still in a daze.

Katherine asked curiously what was going on, and Valerie told her what had happened.

Katherine was instantly amused. "Detained? Isn't this great? It's retribution. Who asked her to believe others but not her children? Serves her right."NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Valerie did not comment. Even if they cut ties, Ruth was still her mother for 20 years. Now that Ruth was detained, she only had mixed feelings. At the same time, she felt that this matter was too coincidental. It was as if someone had arranged it to avenge her.

Katherine waved a hand. "Valerie, don't worry about that. Look at you. You're married and have a child. You're also promoted and have a raise. How happy are you? I'm so envious."

Valerie was amused by Katherine. "You're so sweet."

With this smile, Valerie's mood was a little better. She looked up and happened to see a maternity and baby store. Thinking that she had not bought anything for the baby, they went in to shop. Valerie originally thought it was still too early to hoard things, but after seeing those cute little clothes, her heart melted. Especially the baby shoes, which were small in her palms. They looked like something worn by dolls.

Valerie could not help but buy two sets. However, after she paid, she regretted it. Although the clothes were cute, she didn't know where to put them. Matthew usually did not enter her room, but if he saw them, he might become suspicious.

As Valerie thought about it, she brought Katherine back to Slotmond Estate and the elevator went up to the fifth floor. She was still wondering where to hide the baby's clothes when she bumped into Matthew unexpectedly. He had just arrived home and was about to open the door.

"Mr. Grant..." Valerie was stunned.

Matthew also looked at Valerie. To be precise, he looked at the gift box of baby clothes in her hand. He slowly frowned.
