Obsession With Mr. Right novel Chapter 256

Valeria did not expect a text from Lamont.She thought she misread his name.

Why did he contact her in advance even though there was still another day till their appointment? Could there be something else? Valeria stared at the text message for a while.

She had to go and see him no matter what had happened, so she replied to the message immediately, 'TH be right there"

"I need to deal with some issues, so please don't alert anyone else and come alone, Miss Brown" he sent another message.

She frowned and thought for a moment before agreeing with his request, "Okay, I'll go alone later."

She immediately rushed to their meeting point after leaving William.

It took her a while to find the exact address, but it was just an ordinary two-story house.

She stopped the car and rang the doorbell.

Valeria was shocked to see the person that had opened the doorbell, "Are you Aunt Lucian?"

The one who opened the door was Lucian Barnbook, who used to serve her mother.

Valeria didn't have a deep impression of her, but she had been helping her mother with things before she turned eight, so she was equivalent to being her mother's assistant.

Lucian had helped her mother manage the company as well as her personal affairs.

However, she had left due to unknown reasons later.Her appearances had not changed much even though a decade had passed, so Valeria recognised her immediately.

She welcomed Valeria with a gentle smile, "Miss Brown is here, please come in!"

Lucian was not surprised to see her.

Did she know that she was coming? But Lamont was the one who sent her the message, so did they know each other? Valeria followed her into the house with doubt.

She was invited to sit on the sofa while Lucian poured her a cup of tea, but she did not drink it.

She put the cup of tea on the table and said, "Aunt Lucian, do you know Lamont? I came here because of his text message.

She smiled and said, "Miss Brown, I sent the text message."

"You sent it? Why did you pretend to be Lamont?" Valeria asked in surprise.

"I didn't pretend to be him.He called me and asked me to send you a message, Lucian explained.

"You know him?"

"Yes, I know him, and I even know why you are looking for him" She did not hide anything.

"Are you in trouble now? Did Ronald reveal his cunning plans and hurt you? You were isolated and helpless, so you remembered Madam Natalie's words and looked for Lamont with the clues she left for you, right?"

"How did you know?" Valeria was extremely shocked.

"Because I know that Ronald is not a good person.I know that he would reveal his evil character sooner or later.I know that he would do horrendous things to you and Madam Natalie!"

"Do you hate my mother?" Valeria asked again.

"I don't hate her, but it's her fault! I don't have any evil intentions towards her and everything I do and say is for her sake.However, she chose to disregard all of that and stuck up for Ronald instead.I would be lying if I said that I didn't blame her..."

Lucian didn't avoid the question at all, "However, I couldn't blame her at all when I knew that she had passed away.I regretted my actions now that I see you here.After all, things might have not turned out like this if I had gone back to look for her."

Valeria frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I mean that your mother might not have passed away so early" Lucian said with a remorseful expression.

"She handed the company over to Ronald to manage later as she had no credible assistants around her.She must have been shocked if she had found out about Ronald's true intentions.As someone who likes to bottle things up, no one could help her as there was no one around for her to complain and talk to.This should be the main reason why she fell sick."

"Is that so?"

Valeria frowned after listening to Lucian's words.Her mother had been in good health, but everything gradually went downhill.

However, they never found anything wrong with her when she went for an inspection in the hospital.She passed away very suddenly.

They had even gone shopping before it happened, and she had been in good spirits at that time.

However, those good moments did not last long.

She suddenly fell ill at home and passed away after being sent to the hospital for two days.She had never suspected the cause of her mother's illness and thought that it was an accident.

However, after listening to Lucian's story and thinking about Julie and her daughter, could it be that her mother's disease was triggered once she had found out about Ronald's affair?
