Chapter 13 Valerie's entire body was as white as a little white kitten . She crouched pitifully between the old man's legs . She swayed the few tattered strips of cloth on her body , trying to please the old man . At that moment , Braeden was so disgusted that he vomited violently . His slender , well - defined fingers gripped the door . His fierce eyes glared at the two people not far away . He curled his lips , his voice icy cold : " Grandpa , what are you and Valerie doing ? " When Valerie saw it was Braeden , her face instantly turned deathly pale . Dressed in nothing but revealing lingerie , she collapsed to the floor . Her trembling eyes immediately filled with tears . Her voice shook terribly : " Bray , listen to me . " Valerie desperately tried to put on her dress , but the more flustered she became , the more she failed to dress herself properly . Crying , Valerie crawled toward Braeden . " Bray , Bray , I can explain . " Stanley , however , remained completely calm , his cloudy eyes filled with the ruthless coldness of someone in power . Chapter 13 128 Vouchers His deep voice said , " Bray , there's nothing to explain here. If Grandpa says Valerie is good , then she's good . " But Braeden's sinister eyes were filled with coldness . " So Grandpa had to try her out first before letting me marry her ? " Valerie lay on the ground , crying as she clung to Braeden's leg . " Bray , I - I was forced , I did it for you . Your cousin has always coveted your position as CEO . The old man said if I served him , the Hernandez family would be yours in the future . " Braeden's face was vicious as he kicked Valerie away with a furious force . He said coldly , " My cousin ? Valerie , what right does that loser have to compete with me ? Do you really think I need you to sell yourself ? " By now , Braeden no longer believed Valerie at all . He had investigated and found out that it was all a scheme by the old man and Valerie . Valerie's blood type couldn't even be used for his transfusion . The old man's face turned completely dark as he said , " Bray , it's just a woman . Valerie has been my woman for years . She's just a plaything . If you want her , Grandpa will give her to you . If you don't , she'll end up like her mother , staying in the Hernandez family as a maid . " Valerie screamed in terror : " No , I want to be with Bray ! Bray , I like you ! I was raped by the old man - he raped me when I was nineteen ! " Braeden's cold eyes stared at Stanley . " Back then , the one who insisted I marry Valerie and made me give Angela sterilization drugs - was it you or her ? " 23661 00:52 Chapter 13 Braeden pointed his finger at Valerie .

" T M For these seven years , she hadn't been exiled abroad , but was locked up by the old man in a villa in the suburbs , used by him in his perverse ways . Braeden looked at Valerie with eyes full of hatred . " Grandpa , I won't let this go . Valerie's hand clutched the hem of Braeden's suit pants . " Bray , I love you , I really love you . All these years , I've loved you so much . Everything I've done was because I love you . " But Braeden kicked Valerie again without hesitation . Valerie immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood .
