章 326: Valerie's Fate (2)

"Are you sure, Addie? But annulling my engagement with Derek would make things difficult for my brother." Valerie bit her lower lip in frustration. She desperately wanted to believe that she was mistaken and there was nothing going on between her fiance and Airi. 

Adrienne nodded in response. In her past life, Valerie's older was devastated and blamed himself for failing to protect her. He desperately asked the Shen and Han family to aid them in lowering Valerie's sentence, but they refused to listen. Adrienne knew that Valerie's brother would do anything to protect his sister, even if it meant risking his own position in the family.

According to the details Alistair shared with her, Airi deliberately provoked Valerie, taunting her for being able to snatch her man. Derek sided with Airi and forced Valerie to hand everything she had to Airi.
