Chapter 432
Simon narrowed his eyes, almost thinking he’d misheard.
“You’re saying that as long as you leave with those people now, you won’t want the child anymore? You won’t snatch it from
me?
This didn’t match Valeria’s personality. It seemed unusual for her to have a sudden change of heart regarding protecting a
child.
Valeria’s voice was slightly strained. “I understand that I cannot take Alex from you, nor do I want to. I acknowledge that you are better equipped to take care of him. I have come to terms with this and have no intention of fighting you for custody.”
“I’m glad you can figure it out.”
However, he didn’t want to let this woman go.
“Let me go. I won’t disturb you again, and I’ll release those people. They are innocent, just following orders,” Valeria said.
“Let me think about it.”
Facing Simon’s response, Valeria was surprised. She couldn’t understand why he needed more time to concede unless he intended to change his mind.
Valeria was puzzled and frustrated as she had already compromised, yet he needed more time to consider. It was unbelievable.
“I’ve done this much, and you still need to think about it? How far do you want to push me before you’re satisfied?” Valeria was getting irritated, unable to contain her anger.
Seeing her frustration, Simon chuckled. He felt that this was the reaction Valeria should have.
He had initially thought that if he ignored Valeria for a while, maybe she would compromise and, from then on, obediently stay by his side to be with the child. Unexpectedly, this sudden turn of events happened.
“How do I know if you’re playing tricks? You’re a very cunning woman. I have to be cautious,‘ he said.
After speaking, Simon lay back on the bed, pulled up the blanket, and looked at her, “I’m going to sleep a little more. Are you leaving? If not, sleep with me.”
“You are such a jerk.”
Valeria angrily turned and left.
He doted on her figure as she left and said, ‘Wait for me to figure things out. I will find you. Return to the room obediently, or I’ll kill those people.” Valeria’s body stiffened as she walked out the door and continued to leave.
Valeria experienced a brief moment of hesitation as she stepped outside, perhaps indicating a moment of uncertainty in her movement. However, despite this hesitation, she ultimately decided to continue with her departure.
This Simon didn’t seem to be that easy to fool. He appeared challenging to deceive. She pondered the possibility of being indefinitely trapped if he didn’t decide.
She could endure being pampered with delicious food and drinks every day, but Tyler and their lives may be at stake if they continue to be tortured like this for a few more days.
Valeria walked out of S5 Bay and bumped into Ernest, who had woken up early.
Chapter 482
Ernest was surprised to see Maleria standing there. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m going back now, don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble,” Valeria replied.

Valeria brushed past Ernest but then remembered something and turned back, asking, “Do you have Elizabeth’s contact. information?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Don’t worry about it. Give it to me. I need to talk to her.”
“Do you think I’ll give it to you? Hurry up and go back. It’ll be terrible when the master finds out.” Ernest urged her to hurry back to her room.
Valeria smiled. “Do you think I can stay in my room obediently even if I go back? If I can come out once, I can come out again. If you let me call Elizabeth, I’ll stay in my room obediently. Otherwise, I’ll come out again.”
Ernest had to take out his phone and call Miss Elizabeth.
“Miss Elizabeth, Ms. Sharp is looking for you.”
Then, he handed the phone to Valeria and said, “You only have one minute, and I want to listen.”
Valeria took the phone. “Miss Elizabeth, can you come and see me? I’m locked up by your fiancé. I’m a little bored and lonely, I want to talk to someone.”
“What? Do you think there’s anything to discuss between you and me?”
“Maybe we’ll get it as we talk.”
Elizabeth was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. She said, “Wait for me.”
Then, she hung up the phone. Valeria handed the phone to Ernest. “Alright, I’ll return to my room and wait obediently.” Ernest seemed to have seen through her thoughts. “It’s useless. No one can persuade the master’s temper. Even Miss Elizabeth can’t do anything.”
“I just want to talk to someone. I don’t know anyone here.” Valeria smiled and turned to leave.
Valeria returned to his room and silently took back the bedsheet that she had twisted into a rope just now. It had been so long and she had not been discovered. It seemed that the manor was not very heavily guarded.
About an hour later, Elizabeth arrived. This time, Elizabeth came to the manor. Instead of looking for Simon, she came straight to Valeria.
This was something no one had expected.
After entering the room, Elizabeth looked at Valeria, who looked drowsy, lying on the bed..
“Why did you ask me to come here? Is it not to see you sleep, right?”
Valeria stretched. She was exhausted after not sleeping for a day or night, but she forced herself to sit up. “I’m just here to chat with youdont know anyone here,” she said.
Elizabeth sat in the armchair beside her. “How did you get to where you are now? I thought you were being treated well the other day. Why are you locked up now?”
“I don’t want anything now. I want to leave. Can you help me?”

Valeria intended to avoid beating around the bush. She went straight to the point and stated his purpose. Canadians were most suitable for this kind of negotiation.
Elizabeth wasn’t surprised. “How may I help you? You don’t want to stay with Simon? You don’t want anything? Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
“I don’t want to think about it anymore. With you around, I can’t have anything to do with Simon. I want to escape unscathed now. Just let me leave,” Valeria said.
Elizabeth shrugged as if there was nothing she could do to help. I’d let you go, but you know that Simon won’t listen to me. It’s useless for me to say anything to him.”
Elizabeth was not surprised by Valeria’s decision because Valeria would see everything sooner or later.
“I don’t want you to convince him. Could you help me leave? After I leave, his gaze will gradually return to you.”
Valeria initiated the process of manipulating Elizabeth’s thoughts. Her indifference was palpable. Her immediate priority was departing. She needed to ensure Tyler and the rest were safe before resuming the search for Hackett.
Elizabeth was swayed. With this woman by Simon’s side, it was difficult for Simon to focus on her.
It would be better to quickly get rid of this woman so she could have more opportunities to develop a relationship with
Simon.
“How can I assist you?”
