Being the youngest child who was always spoiled made Valerie always do whatever she wanted. Valerie never thought about the consequences of her actions. Even though she had to give birth to a child out of wedlock without knowing who the father was, Valerie remained relaxed. One day, when Valerie was about to go back out for some fun, she met a group of people who were fighting. Intending to watch, Valerie was panicked and scared when one of them suddenly saw her while shouting 'my wife'. Not only that, the man also chased her until she was in a frenzy. From then on, Valerie was determined to be a good girl. Never to misbehave again! However, just like a wild animal finding its prey, the man never tired of chasing Valerie.
"Vale, where are you going again?" A woman named Agnes who was sitting in the living room immediately put her magazine on the table and stood up. Her eyes scrutinized the appearance of her child who had just come down the stairs in a pink dress and matching heels. Let's not forget the black sling bag she was wearing.
Valerie - the well-dressed girl ignored her mommy's gaze and replied, "I'm going out, Mom. I'm bored, so I want to find some fun outside."
"But you just got home at five. Get some rest for today. Don't go out, okay? You'll get sick if you don't rest well," Agnes said, walking over to Valerie and holding her arm, about to take her back upstairs. "Come on, mommy will take you to your room!"
But Valerie immediately stopped her Mommy's movement. She released her grip and walked backward. "I'll get sick if I stay home. Mommy should rest. No need to care about me."
"Last night you drank until morning, you could get sick if you go out now. Looking for fun can be another day, but health is not. Now you just rest, okay? Tomorrow you can go out again," said Agnes, who continued to persuade Valerie not to go out.
As the youngest child and now the only child, Valerie is truly spoiled. Neither Agnes nor Haven, her husband, could get angry and restrain Valerie. They loved her too much to let her move freely. For Agnes and Haven, Valerie's happiness is number one.
So spoiled, Valerie doesn't know or care what she's doing. Whether it was true or not, Valerie didn't think about it at all. Like last night, Valerie played at the club and came home early in the morning drunk.
Things like that were common. Some were even worse. Valerie was very naughty, but her parents would only advise her gently. Never angry, let alone violent. They were ready to endure everything Valerie did.
"Mommy, just let her go," chirped a little girl standing not far from where Agnes and Valerie were.
Agnes and Valerie spontaneously turned their heads. But they had different expressions. While Agnes smiled gently and waved her hand for the little girl to come over, Valerie did not. Instead, she shot her a displeased look.
"Are you done playing?" asked Agnes, gently stroking the head of Fiona - the little girl who was Valerie's biological daughter.
Naughty Valerie didn't want to take care of her biological daughter and since she was too young, she left Fiona to Agnes. People knew that Fiona was Valerie's sister, not her child. Although Valerie was already known for her mischief, Agnes and Haven still wanted to maintain her image. They hope that Valerie will have a bright future with the man of her choice.
As for Fiona, the little girl seems to hate Valerie. According to her, Valerie is very troublesome. Always causing Mommy and Daddy trouble.
"I wanted to ask Mommy to play, but after meeting Big Sister, I got lazy," Fiona replied with a glance at Valerie.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Valerie gave Fiona an annoyed look. Her round, fierce eyes scared Fiona into hiding behind Agnes, holding tightly to her shirt. "If you want to invite Mommy to play, just invite her! Why does it have to be about me, you little brat!"
"Vale," Agnes said softly. She shook her head and looked down at Fiona and pulled her out slowly. "Fiona, it's not nice to talk to you like that. You can't talk like that next time, okay?"
Valerie looked at Fiona sharply and then looked at Agnes gently. Her behavior like that made Fiona secretly mutter 'magic grandmother' in a very soft voice. "Mom, I'll go first. I feel like my head might explode if I stay here too long."
After saying that, Valerie walked away. Agnes could only stare at Valerie's departure unwillingly. Meanwhile, Fiona, the little girl, looked very happy. She tugged on Agnes' hand and said, "Mommy, come and play with me!"
Agnes looked down and then back up at Valerie. Then she looked at Fiona and smiled. Her hands moved to Fiona's small body and picked her up. "Okay, we'll play until Fiona is satisfied," she said, making Fiona cheer happily.
In the front yard, Valerie looked up with her eyes closed and took a deep breath of air. Her lips were smiling as her eyes opened. She looked so happy that her beautiful face lit up. "Indeed, only outside can I feel this fresh."
"Let's have fun!" exclaimed Valerie cheerfully. Her feet, which were wrapped in heels, did not make it difficult for her to walk. She looked so relaxed and agile.
"Miss, don't you want a ride?" asked Ren, the driver in Valerie's family.
Valerie glanced at him and said, "No. I want to be alone. I want to be alone."
The reason she didn't want to use a chauffeur for her departure today was that Valerie was too lazy to listen to other people's chatter. She wanted to enjoy her time alone happily. Even though he was only a driver, Ren, who had worked for decades, was not awkward to reprimand subtly. It was all at the behest of Valerie's parents.

Valerie got out of the online car she had ordered so gracefully. She looked at the building in front of her filled with people having lunch with a beautiful smile. Her slender legs began to step inside.
However, she accidentally passed by a table occupied by two people of the opposite sex. Whether they were lovers or husband and wife, Valerie didn't care.
The few people who smelled Valerie's delicate perfume turned their heads and were instantly mesmerized. Valerie was certainly pleased, she even winked with a charming smile.
"Hey, you! You cheap bastard! I'm still here and you dare to flirt with my husband? Shameless!" one of the women shouted, pointing angrily at Valerie.
The man who was her husband immediately turned around in panic. He looked stunned and said hurriedly. "Wife, calm down! We're in a crowd, it's not good to fight with strangers."
"Unknown? If you don't know why are you looking at me with your eyes gaping so wide? I can even see your eyes full of stars, they're so bright," the woman said with even more emotion.
Valerie just smiled at her and continued her walk towards the empty table. She didn't care about them arguing. It was their problem and had nothing to do with her.
"Don't blame me, because it's your man who's staring," Valerie said as she walked away.
Her words were overheard by several people sitting at the table Valerie passed. The man who had been looking at her mesmerized immediately averted his eyes awkwardly.
Despite wearing clothes that are fairly modest and do not at all show the curves of her body or some of her beautiful parts, Valerie can captivate many people. Because in fact, Valerie had a face that could destroy the world in an instant.
After sitting down comfortably, Valerie raised her hand and instantly a handsome man wearing a waiter's uniform arrived. "Give me a glass of guava juice."
"Yes, please wait a moment, Miss," the man replied, bowing and hurrying away.
Valerie silently held back her smile. She wandered around and inwardly felt satisfied that there were so many handsome men in this cafe. Valerie felt so refreshed as if she had just been born again.
Please note, that Valerie is a lover of handsome men. No matter what his status is, if the man is handsome then Valerie will approach him. Handsome men have such a strong magnetism, that Valerie couldn't resist passing in front of them.
"Here, Miss, your order. Enjoy," the waiter said as he placed Valerie's order.
Valerie turned her head and smiled. "Thank you. By the way, have you been working here for long?"
"Ah that, I've been here for almost two years," replied the man who glanced at Valerie and then quickly looked down again.
"Are you married?" asked Valerie supporting her chin with both linked hands. Seeing the shake of the head given by the man in front of her, Valerie smiled widely with sparkling eyes. "Then marry me. I'll pay for your entire life. You will live securely, no need to work like this anymore. How about it? Or if not, become my lover. If you can satisfy me, I'll give you everything."
