Valerie is smart, ambitious, beautiful – and willing to do anything to get ahead. As Chad’s assistant at Crane Industries, Valerie became his number one ally... and his lover. However, Chad’s undying love for Whitney left Val on the sidelines. Valerie then set her sights on climbing the corporate ladder with Fox Crane and teamed up with his mother, Ivy, to eliminate Fox’s girlfriend, Kay, from the equation. That plan didn’t work out, but Valerie is now an assistant to Theresa, who’s in charge of Crane Industries.
