Chapter: 740
“Enough! It’s a misunderstanding. Valeria, Hutton grew up with me in the orphanage. He’s an
exceptional hacker, and I can vouch for his moral integrity.”
The news made Valeria turn to Hutton in a wordless glance. Despite her silence, her eyes betrayed the
poorly concealed disgust she felt.
Rosalynn introduced Valeria to Hutton.
“Hutton, this is Valeria, the famous celebrity. She’s as kind as she is beautiful, and she has introduced a

Hutton looked like it was the last thing he wanted to do, but in the end, he yielded to Rosalynn.
He found some wine on the table and poured two glasses.
“Alright. I’ll be nice.”
Taking one glass, he handed it to Valeria and said, “Allow me to apologize, Valeria. I shouldn‘t have
said those things. Let’s have a drink to make up.”
Hutton had gone ahead and finished his glass. Valeria curled her lips and said, “It’s fine. I’ll let it slide
since you’re just a kid.”
These words made Hutton frown. Giving Valeria a once-over, he answered, “I’m not a kid. I’m already
twenty-one. You and I are about the same age, right?”
Valeria chuckled, “I’m already twenty-five. I distinctly remember a certain someone calling me a
harridan.”
Women in the show business industry took great pains to care for their appearance. After all, beauty
was the main capital in their world.

age as me.”
Valeria raised an eyebrow and felt herself relax around him, her own humor returning.
“I see you’re quite the smooth talker.”
“It’s one of my many talents.”
Rosalynn breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the two engage in an easy back and forth.
“Now that this has been resolved, let’s sit down and eat. I’m starving.”
“Right. It’s a bad idea to let you starve. You turn into a whole different person.”
Hutton sat down and poured a glass of wine for Rosalynn.
The dishes were served one after another, and the three shared a sumptuous meal with drinks and
Lively conversation.
