She's seeing someone else so quickly, Matthew thought.

"Trispo," Matthew said coldly. "Problem solved."

After calling her friend at the Porsche Service Center, she got back in the car and turned to Caleb. "They can give you the cost price for materials, but the labor and repair costs can't be reduced. The estimated cost will be at least $6,000. Can you accept it?"

"Yeah, of course," Caleb answered quickly. Six thousand dollars. Caleb let out a sigh of relief and looked at Valerie with admiration. "Thanks, Valerie. If it weren't for you, I'd be broke."

In the backseat, Katherine seemed frightened and echoed hazily, "Yeah, thank you, Valerie."

Caleb said, "Are you free today, Valerie? Let me buy you lunch to show my appreciation."

Valerie shook her head. "No need. Consider it a lesson learned. Drive carefully in the future, especially when Katherine is in your car. She had a car accident when she was young and was traumatized." Caleb apologized to Katherine hastily.

After the accident, they weren't in the mood to joke around. Valerie told Caleb to send Katherine home to rest after she unloaded her belongings downstairs in the apartment. She wasn't mentally prepared to explain her flash marriage to Katherine.

However, she couldn't help thinking, "The Porsche we crashed into was the same model as Matthew's. Did we crash into his car? No way! The world can't be that small, and the driver wasn't Matthew anyway." Valerie felt greatly relieved that she hadn't gotten Matthew involved.

She dragged her belongings to the fifth-floor apartment, put the microwave in the kitchen, settled the hamster and its cage on the balcony, and placed her suitcase in her bedroom. She had officially moved in.

Katherine got one thing wrong about Valerie. Valerie's wardrobe was even smaller than she thought. In the small suitcase, apart from some clothes and skincare products, there was a set of recording equipment. Valerie had another job as a webcaster. She posted audio books and streamed readings on her channel.

She had a calm and pleasant voice, but she wasn't particularly remarkable among other webcasters. Once, her voice got raspy, so she tried speaking in a low voice. Many people with sleep problems found her channel and listened to her readings to fall asleep.

Valerie stuck with this style and gained many fans. They called her a "walking lullaby." She earned money from subscriptions and gifts every month. But Valerie had been busy lately and hadn't posted anything for a while. Today, she was free, so she planned to record a few chapters to catch up.

Valerie was aware of the rules Matthew had set for her. She wasn't allowed to make noise after 11 p.m. However, she often got off work at 8 or 10 p.m., meaning she got home even later. To avoid disturbing Matthew, she could only record on her days off. Living under his roof, Valerie had learned to follow Matthew's rules.
