Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204 

Hackett said, “He will care as long as we pay the price? 

“What price?” 

Tyler remembered Clayton’s usual attitude. Basically, he did not care about anything and would only show up when there was a meeting. He never dealt with matters related to the company, Tyler could not figure out what was on his mind. 

“You’ll find out soon enough.” 

As he spoke, he arrived at the door of the private room. Tyler pushed the door open. Clayton had been waiting for a long time in there and was even a little impatient. However, he did not show any negative feelings outwardly. 

Tyler stood at the side and closed the door. 

Hackett walked over and sat in the seat in front of Clayton. He spoke politely, “Mr. Maddox, I’m sorry. I’m a minute late 

Clayton raised his coffee cup and took a sip. “If you’re late more than one minute, I would leave. You have to know that I hate waiting for people the most. Even if you are the president of a country, I would not want to wait another second for you.” 

“But you still waited. That proves I’m worth your wait. I am valuable enough for you, right?” Hackett smiled. 

He had always been mature and steady in the business world. He was a completely different person from the irritable Mr. Jaimes in private. This was what his grandfather and father had taught him. He had to be calm and composed in the business world. Otherwise, he would only make things worse. 

Clayton’s smile widened as he twirled the exquisite porcelain coffee cup in his hand. “Looks like you come prepared. In that case, there’s no need to waste any time. I know what you want, but you also know what I want, right?” 

Tyler frowned as he stood on the side. He could not understand what these two big shots were talking about. 

He could not figure out what Clayton wanted. 

Tyler listened carefully since he was afraid that he would miss the key information of the conversation by missing even one 

word. 

Hackett was silent for a few seconds. He looked at this wily old fox in front of him. His handsome face was tense as if he was making a difficult decision. 

He said, ‘I agree to the marriage between our two families. Now that Grandpa is gone and my father is gone, you have the final say in the marriage. I have no problem with that.” 

Tyler, who was standing at the side, widened his eyes in surprise 

He thought, “Marriage? 

“So this was what Clayton wanted? 

This old cunning fox wants to marry his own daughter to Mr. James? 

“What about Valeria? What about Alex?” 

For a moment, Tyler’s mind was in a mess. He looked at the expressionless Mr. James and said inwardly. “Mr. James, what 

a marriage with the Maddox family and let Valeria down?” are you thinking? Are you actually going to f 

Upon hearing how straightforward Hackett was, Clayton laughed out loud. “That’s my good son–in–law, it’s settled then. A

“I know. You don’t have to remind me. The successive deaths of my grandfather and father have completely sobered me up. James Group needs me to take responsibility. Otherwise, it will be divided up by those useless things sooner or later” 

Hackett had to get back the shares that his aunt had snatched away first. 

Clayton nodded in satisfaction. “You’re worth my attention.” 

He then raised his wrist to check the time. “Alright, let’s do it this way. I have a dinner meeting planned after this, so I’ll be leaving first. Come to my house tomorrow to discuss the specifies. Also, my daughter will be coming back to this country the day after tomorrow. You can go pick her up. It’ll be a good opportunity to cultivate your relationship with her.” 

With that. Clayton got up and left 

After the door closed, the last bit of politeness on Hackett’s face disappeared. He closed his eyes tiredly and held his forehead with his slender fingers.. 

Tyler sat in the seat beside him immediately. “Mr. James, are you really planning to hold a marriage with the Maddox family? Do you actually want to marry Clayton’s daughter? You’ve never even seen her before. Do you really want to do this?” 

“Is there any other way?” Hackett looked up at him. 

Tyler was speechless. Last time, Hackett was forced by his grandfather to marry Valeria. Now, he was forced to marry a woman he didn’t know for the sake of the shares. 

Hackett added, “Clayton only has one precious daughter. He just wants to find someone to entrust to her daughter. Moreover, he doesn’t want to hand over the family business that he has worked so hard for many years to a random poor boy. From what I know, his daughter seems to be in love with a poor man. Furthermore, she loves him so much that she can’t bear to part with him” 

Tyler said. “I see… Then is this marriage still going to happen? They’re so in love that they can’t bear to part… 

It doesn’t matter. I just want to get what I want. As for whether is daughter wants to marry me, 

it’s their business. I don’t 

He did not care what Clayton’s daughter looked like or what her personality was like, nor did he want to know which poor person she was in a relationship with. He only had one thought which was to protect the business of the James family. 

Now that his father and grandfather were no longer around, there were too few people he could use. As the second–largest shareholder on the board of directors, Clayton was very valuable to him 

Tyler could not help but ask again, “Then… what about Mr. Alex 

“Alex will always be my son. That won’t change.” 

“Then what about Ms. Sharp Tyler asked. 

Upon mentioning Valeria, Hackett’s expression changed slightly. After a long silence, he said, “As for Valeria Perhaps it’s time to let her go. She hates me and doesn’t like me. She has already made a huge concession to let me and Alex meet each other. I can’t force her to do things that she doesn’t like anymore
