Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

Maliah quickly grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on before walking outside.

“What are you here for?” Maliah asked.

She looked displeased as she looked down at Valerie.

Valerie smiled lightly. “I’m here for you.”

“For me? What do you want?”

“Maliah, have you forgotten? Your dad and I had a bet. You lost, and now you have to pay up. That pearl necklace belongs to me!”

Maliah was stunned. “That’s it? Valerie, you’re really something. Coming all the way here just for a necklace? Is your family so poor that you need to come begging for it?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Of course. When dealing with people like you, I have to come in person. What if you ran off before I got here?

“I heard your winemaker has already run away. Birds of a feather flock together. I guess I should be quicker!

“The trophy isn’t just for taking. I have to post it online to show everyone that I’m the winner. As for you, I wonder what the netizens will think when they see this! You’d better come over quickly, or I’ll start a livestream. There are plenty of netizens waiting for you!”

Maliah’s face turned pale with anger. “It’s just a necklace. What’s so special about it? Just wait!”

She turned and went upstairs to retrieve the pearl necklace, throwing it at Valerie.

“Here you go. You really are persistent!” Maliah said.

She crossed her arms, clearly annoyed. Valerie picked up the necklace and glanced at it, finding it increasingly familiar.

She was sure she had seen this necklace before, but couldn’t remember where. She decided to take it home and investigate further.

As Valerie was about to leave, she looked up and saw Maliah’s shirt, and was momentarily stunned.

The shirt was a man’s, and on Maliah, it looked oversized, barely covering her thighs.

She was wearing a man’s shirt, and so early in the morning. Was there a man in her room?

Given Maliah’s age, it was time for her to have a boyfriend, but bringing a man home was surprising. Valerie’s lips curled into a smile, but then she felt something was off.

The shirt looked oddly familiar. If she remembered correctly, it was a custom shirt with a unique button design, featuring a special pattern with an ‘X‘ shape that was quite rare.

Seeing Valerie staring at her, Maliah was irritated. “Alright, you’ve got the necklace. What are you still doing here? Get going! Such a nuisance!”

Valerie gave her a deep look, said nothing, and left. The more she thought about it, the more she found it strange.

She had seen that shirt before. When she was filming, she had been in close contact with Dale and remembered seeing him

wear it.

At that time, she found it quite special and even asked about it.

O

Dale’s shirt was custommade and unique in its own way. Valeriewas interested and considered having a similar one made for Matthew, but she eventually forgot due to being busy

Dale had mentioned that the buttons on the shirt were specially customized and could be embroidered with initials.

Additionally, the fabric had subtle patterns, and the custom version was one of a kind, with no duplicates. These were some of the unique features of their brand.

Valerie wondered if anyone else would have the same shirt. Was it possible that Maliah’s boyfriend was Dale?

But she hadn’t heard about Katherine breaking up.

Valerie’s suspicion grew. She looked puzzled as she got into her car and drove away.

Once Valerie was gone, Maliah scoffed. “What a joke. Even Mrs. Grant has to pull these stunts!”

Maliah rolled her eyes and went back, planning to take a nap. But as soon as she entered, she was greeted with a bear hug.

Darling, you’re amazing!” Dale said.

Maliah initially wanted to refuse, but faced with such charm, she found herself unable to resist.

“Still, you’re incredible. You sent her away so quickly!”

“She’s so shallow, coming all the way just to ask for things. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have lost the competition”

Thinking about the competition made Maliah angry.

Dale said, “Don’t be mad. Come here and give me a kiss!”

Dale embraced her, and they began rolling around on the bed.

Meanwhile, Valerie was already starting to have doubts.
