Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

As soon as the words were spoken, the women flocked around Dale.

"Dale, come sit with us!"

"Come with me, over here!"

Dale cleared his throat and moved to sit next to Maliah, causing a stir among the crowd.

A woman asked, "So, you're a regular here too?"

Dale smiled and said, "I'm just here with friends. I don't usually come out."

"Oh, you're such a sweetie! You came at the right time. Let us show you a good time. We're playing some games!"

Dale agreed readily, and everyone enjoyed his lack of pretense.

Maliah took a sip from her glass, and her friends nudged her. "Stop drinking so much. Look, Dale keeps looking at you!"

"Maliah, how does he compare to Matthew?" one of Maliah's friends asked.

"Of course, Dale is better looking!" Maliah raised an eyebrow at Dale, who raised his glass. Maliah tilted her head back to drink. Dale observed her and moved closer. "You can drink quite a lot?"

"Why do you look down on me?" Maliah asked.

Dale chuckled. "It's not that. It's just that too much alcohol isn't good for your skin."

Another woman said, "Dale, why do you care so much about her?"

"I'm a woman too! Don't you think my skin is good?"

"Yeah, I think my skin is quite nice!"

Dale laughed lightly. "Of course, you're beautiful. Even in the entertainment industry, you're top-notch!"

"Really? Dale, you're too smooth!"

Maliah watched Dale approach. She wasn't naive. It was clear Dale had ulterior motives.

They all knew each other's backgrounds well. Seeing Maliah attract Dale's attention made some people a bit jealous. "Maliah, you're amazing. Even our celebrity crush is enchanted by you."

"Yes, Maliah must be feeling much better now."This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Lucky Maliah, feeling down but ends up meeting a star. Tonight, let Dale keep you company!"

Maliah smiled at her friends' words. She and Dale locked eyes, and they immediately understood each other's intentions.

Maliah was curious and wondered, 'Does even a big star have to sell himself?'

Dale knew they were wary, but Maliah, being a naive young lady with a hint of feigned sophistication, was easy to handle.

The group was chatting and joking, and Dale, knowing Maliah was the heiress of the Anderson family, treated her with special care. "Maliah, let's play some dice!" Dale said.

Maliah didn't refuse. Dale seemed to deliberately lose, drinking quite a lot. Maliah took the initiative to help him out.

Maliah said, "Don't hold back on me. I'm not delicate!"

Dale smiled and said, "I know you're not, but I just want to lose to you.

"You know, you're the most innocent girl I've ever met!"

Maliah's face turned red. Seeing her reaction, Dale realized she was genuinely interested. Calling her innocent was really just calling her naive. But this was good. It made her easier to handle.

As everyone gathered, Maliah, not being foolish, could tell Dale treated her differently.

A friend nudged her and said, "Maliah, with your charm, you'll find someone suitable. What's Valerie compared to you? Look, even Dale is enchanted by you!"

Hearing this, Maliah felt immensely

proud. She glanced at Dale again and noticed that he had been focused on her the entire time, his eyes full of affection and a smile on his lips. Maliah smiled back and continued to drink, one glass after another.

Their eyes met, and as Maliah got drunk, she stood up, glanced at Dale, and then left.

Dale followed closely.

"Maliah!"

Maliah slipped and almost fell. Dale quickly caught her, and she ended up in his arms.

Their eyes met, and Maliah quickly got up, but stumbled again, falling back into his embrace. Dale's laughter rang out, which annoyed Maliah, who slapped him lightly.

"Miss Anderson throwing herself at me is truly my luck!"

Maliah raised an eyebrow and pinched his chin. "Aren't you afraid of making Katherine angry?"

"Why be afraid? She won't know," Dale said.

Maliah snuggled closer, her fingers tracing circles on his chest.

"Aren't you supposed to be courting her? How dare you flirt with another woman? Aren't you afraid of Katherine finding out?"

Dale grabbed her hand. "Katherine is so dull. How could she compare to your enthusiasm?"

After saying that, he unexpectedly kissed her. Maliah slapped him hard across the face, but Dale immediately leaned in and kissed her forcefully.

Maliah instantly gave in. What began

as resistance quickly turned into passionate fervor. They embraced tightly, inseparable, and eventually, she ended up taking him away.

The next morning, Valerie got up early and headed to the Anderson family to see Olivia and Chloe, and to retrieve that necklace.

Upon arriving at the Anderson family, the sound of the car turning off startled the people upstairs. Seeing Valerie's arrival, Dale panicked and woke Maliah.

"Wake up! Get up, it's bad!" Dale said.

Maliah groggily opened her eyes, a bit annoyed. "What's wrong?"

"Get up quickly, Valerie is here!"

Maliah was confused. "Valerie is here?"

She blinked and fully woke up. "What's she here for?"

"Whatever she's here for, we can't let her see me. She's good friends with Katherine. Hurry!" Dale said.

Maliah rolled her eyes and said, "What's the matter? Are you scared of her?"

"It's not that I'm scared. Katherine might not be great, but she did provide resources. It's not the time to have a falling out! Don't worry, darling, I like

you!"

He kissed her on the face, and Maliah huffed, tossing off the covers and getting up.

"Valerie is really persistent. How annoying!" Maliah didn't expect Valerie would come to her.
