Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

Some people said, "What? Is this medicinal wine?"

"This looks like something poisonous. The Anderson family really has guts!"

"Did they take a wrong turn with this?"

Maliah's face alternated between red and pale. Valerie couldn't help but laugh. The Anderson family had really found a stupid teammate.

Everyone stepped back in shock, and the whole venue erupted in an uproar.

"What is this nonsense?"

"Good heavens, this is bold!"

"What do the judges say?"

The judges exchanged glances, unsure how to score the Anderson family's extravagant but questionable offering.

One judge, furious, shouted, "Are you trying to fool us with this stuff? This is supposed to be a selection event. And you're incredibly arrogant! "Do you think that because you are rich, you can disregard the judges?

"Don't think that because you're powerful, you can do whatever you want. If something goes wrong, you're responsible! In future events, your wine is not welcome!"

He slammed his hand on the table, continuing, "You don't have the right to represent the Kranson City wine industry!"

Ignoring the gazes around, the judge's anger made Maliah's face turn red. She didn't know what had gone wrong, blaming Rowan for embarrassing her in front of everyone.

Maliah said, "Let's go!"

Unable to face the crowd's pointing and whispering, Maliah turned and left with her subordinates. But she had forgotten this was a live broadcast event. The bet between the Anderson family and Valerie had attracted many media outlets and influencers.

Viewers flocked to the live stream, and seeing the Anderson family's blunder, the comments exploded.

The viewers commented, "What's wrong with the Anderson family?"

"It looks like they're abusing their power. Now that they believe their brand has grown and become famous, they no longer take the judges seriously!" "They just wanted to go through the motions, but now they've messed up. Disgusting!"

"Did you see that? Maliah completely lost face!"

"They say the Anderson family is now so wealthy that they don't regard ordinary folks like us at all. Do they think our hard-earned money is worthless and can be taken at will?"

"The judges are right. Damn it, Maliah, get out of the wine market!"

"I'm with Valerie on this one. The Grant family is impressive. Just look at the judges' reactions!"

"The judges never expected this. One moment ago, it was delightful, the next it was almost catastrophic. This is a huge flop!"

As the online comments indicated, the Anderson family's reputation plummeted. Owen, seeing the comments, was extremely worried.

The scandal from the competition directly affected their orders.

When Owen received the news and watched the video, he was furious.

Maliah stormed back, running headlong into Owen.

Owen shouted, "You dare come back? You stupid woman!"

A coffee cup flew towards Maliah, missing her by a hair's breadth and smashing against the doorframe, sending shards into her face. The sharp pain made Maliah gasp. "Dad, what are you doing? You almost ruined my face!"

Owen shouted, "Ruining your face is better than you going out and embarrassing us!

"Look at the mess you've made! You were supposed to represent us at the competition, and look at how you did!"

Maliah was full of grievance. "Dad, is this really my fault?"

"Of course, it's your fault. Do you

know we've lost all our orders for the next quarter? The cooperation was canceled, and now we have to pay a breach of contract fee. The loss amounts to six million dollars. How do you plan to make up for this?"

The words left her speechless. "Dad, this is too much. How is this loss my responsibility?

"Besides, I didn't brew the wine myself. You hired that man, claiming he was Mr. Morse's apprentice. What a joke. And now he's disappeared!"

Maliah was infuriated, but Owen was

even more shocked that Maliah dared to talk to him like this. His face turned red with anger. Maliah seemed unaware of the gravity of the situation. To her, spending a little less money was already a contribution to the family,

She didn't want to be bothered with anything else. She believed she hadn't done anything wrong. Now, seeing Owen's face turn blue with anger, Maliah shrank back and said nothing.

However, the inte was flooded with news about the Anderson family, including Maliah's previous harsh words to Valerie. Everything had been recorded.

The more Owen looked, the angrier

าวน

he became. The Anderson family's reputation was plummeting, and orders were disappearing, which was the most pressing issue. On top of that, Maliah had caused this mess. Furious, he sighed and waved her away. "Get out of my sight! You make me angry just by being here!"

Maliah stomped her foot. "I did nothing wrong. You can't control me!"

"I don't want to control you, but you're part of the Anderson family!"

Maliah's face reddened, and she said nothing more, turning and heading upstairs.

Owen watched her back thoughtfully, then decided he needed to make Maliah learn a lesson.

Anyone wanting to stay with the Anderson family had to pay their dues. They couldn't just benefit without giving anything back.

After being disobedient all these years, Maliah needed to contribute to the family's development. Otherwise, she didn't deserve the comfortable life she had.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Bring me Rowan. Find him now!"

"Mr. Anderson, Rowan has already left!" Owen's assistant said.

Owen realized that Valerie must have bribed Rowan to sabotage them. Otherwise, Rowan wouldn't dare to slack off at such a critical moment!

It was also Maliah's fault for acting so recklessly. "Inform Corey that we're interested in an alliance. Set up a dinner!"

"Understood!"

Oewn's subordinate quickly left. Maliah was stunned upon hearing Corey's name.

She knew Corey Herman, an old and unattractive man. Maliah was furious and shouted, "If you try to make me marry that old man, I'll commit suicide!"
