Chapter 159 

Valeria steadied herself before seeing the man in front of her. She shook her head. “I’m not drunk. By the way, why are you here?” 

After asking, she felt that what she said was nonsense. 

It was not strange for Hackett to appear at any cocktail party because too many people wanted to invite him. 

The man said in a low voice, “Yes, socializing. Do you want to…” 

Actually, he wanted to offer himself to drive her home. After all, he saw Valeria dressed so revealingly and was slightly drunk. If a man with ulterior motives saw this, the consequences would be unimaginable. 

However, before Hackett could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Finn, who suddenly walked over. 

“Are you Ms. Sharp, the lawyer? You are indeed the beautiful lawyer of Cooper Law Office.” 

Valeria looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of her. He looked flirtatious, and she did not seem to know 

this man. 

“You are…” 

Finn stretched out his hand. “You don’t know me. I’m friends with your boss, Keith. I’m also childhood friends with Hackett. We grew up together.” 

Childhood friend? 

Valeria raised her hand in a daze and gently shook the man’s hand. 

Hackett stared at the two of them holding hands and cleared his throat. “That’s enough.” 

Finn retracted his hand and placed a hand on Hackett’s shoulder. He leaned close to his ear and said, “Don’t forget what I have told you. Remember, be cool, and don’t take the initiative. If you want to waste all your efforts, don’t listen to me.” 

Hackett was speechless. He didn’t do anything. Even if he saw Valeria drunk as a friend, he could send her home, right? Was it that serious? 

He didn’t understand why Finn was making such a fuss. 

Finn said, “Ms. Sharp, are you drunk? Your boss can drive you home. It’s very dangerous for a beauty to get drunk on such an occasion.” 

“It’s okay. I’m not drunk. I just lost my balance just now. I can go back by myself.” Valeria quickly rejected it. She could not wait to hide from Keith now. Moreover, Sherri was also there tonight. 

Hackett was about to explode in anget. Was this idiot here to help or to cause trouble? 

He suggested Valeria to look for Keith? 

He glared at Finn, who was beside him, but Finn forced a smile. He pressed on the man’s shoulder and said to Valeria, “That’s good. I’ll go over there with Hackett first. We still have something to deal with. See around later.”

“Alright. Sure.” Valeria smiled faintly and watched as Finn forcefully pulled Hackett away. 

She shrugged helplessly, then turned around and leaned against the balcony railing, wanting to sober up. 

The wine here was indeed a little too strong. She could only blame herself for drinking too many glasses. She would go

home after she sober up. She could not stay here any longer.

The man called Finn was right. It was pretty dangerous to get drunk on such an occasion. Those men might take her away while she was unconscious. 

On the other side, Finn pulled Hackett to a corner. The man shook off his hand with a look of disdain. 

“Didn’t you see that Valeria is drunk? Don’t you know how dangerous it is to get drunk in such a situation? Even if it’s out of concern for a friend, so what if I send her home?” Hackett had nowhere to vent his anger. 

Finn, on the other hand, looked calm. He crossed his arms and patiently listened to Hackett vent his anger. Then, he slowly said, “You can send her home, but you can’t. I just recommended her to look for Keith. Did you see her reaction?” 

It would have been fine if he hadn’t mentioned it, but the moment he did, he got angry. 

Hackett was even angrier. “Who the fuck are you helping? I asked you to help me win a woman’s heart, but you pushed Valeria to Keith?” 

“Calm down. Can you listen to my explanation? I asked her to look for Keith. Did you see her reaction? She rejected me immediately.” 

Hackett snorted. “If she goes, I’ll skin you alive tonight.” 

Finn elbowed him. “Hey, haven’t you noticed that Valeria is starting to feel upset? Especially when you were chatting with that hot beauty just now.” 

Hackett was taken aback. 

He had been too focused on humoring that woman to pay attention to Valeria’s reaction. 

“I didn’t notice that.” 

She was still so cold to him. If this continued, Valeria might really not need him anymore. At that time, Finn would be doomed because Hackett might never let him off with it. 

Finn said, “Tsk… I realized that when you were chatting with that beauty, Valeria kept staring at you. Moreover, there was a hint of disappointment on her face. It was that kind of awkwardness and discomfort. Do you understand? Do you know what this means? This at least verifies the first step. She still has feelings for you. As long as you interact with a woman, her heart will still ache.” 

Hackett squinted his eyes and looked at him suspiciously. “Are you sure?” 

This guy’s eyes could see through things? He could even see what Valeria was thinking? Was it really that obvious? “With my experiences, it’s not wrong to listen to me. You’ve already fallen into a dead end. If you don’t listen to me, who will? If you want to see Valeria’s true feelings, you have to provoke her. Otherwise, how can she feel threatened if you surround her daily? She’ll only hate you more and more, and your path of wooing your wife will also have no progress…” 

Hackett listened and felt that what Finn said made sense. 

He was silent for a few seconds. “So how do we goad her?” 

Finn revealed a sly smile. “Do you know what women are most afraid of?” 

“What?” He really didn’t know. 

“Other women around their men. Any woman would be so jealous.”
