Chapter 208
Valeria was a little speechless, Why was the girl talking about her This client was a little strange.
Valeria coughed twice. “I didn’t ask for a single rent from my ex–husband, so there’s no division of assets. The child’s custody. belongs to me.”
“He is too much of a scumbag. He’s so rich, but he didn’t give you a single cent. Yet, he let you have the child’s custody
Elsie was stunned. She would not have known if she had not asked. She was shocked after she asked. What kind of a scumbag was Hackett to do such a shameless thing?
She would tell her father about this. She wanted to see how her father would put in a good word for Hackett. She snorted. Elsie memorized everything in her mind and planned to tell her father about Hackett’s misdeeds after she went back.
“How do you know my ex–husband is rich?”
This girl was so strange. Valeria began to suspect the real purpose of this girl’s visit.
Realizing that she had lost her composure, Elsie forced a laugh. Well… I noticed that your house is expensive. The houses in this neighborhood are expensive. I thought it was a gift from your ex–husband. No matter what, you and he still have a son. I thought…”
“Ms, Maddox, let’s talk about your matters. Mine aren’t important. Valeria tried to return to the main topic.
“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s talk about my matters. Look at how gossipy thm. I get curious when I hear gossip. I want to ask how much of my husband’s assets I can get after the divorce. By the way, Ms. Sharp, you have the child’s custody after your divorce. Did your ex–husband give child support? He wouldn’t be so stingy that he didn’t give child support, right? By the way, how did you get a divorce back then? Who was at fault?”
Elsie was still a little too anxious. The series of questions that she asked aroused Valeria’s suspicion.
“Ms. Maddox, you’re not here to ask about divorce, are you? Why are you so interested in my personal matters?”
“L… Well, I’m here to ask about divorce. I’m just curious about how much lawyers like you will get if you get a divorce…” Elsie laughed awkwardly and looked away evasively.
Valeria felt that something was amiss. She slowly stood up. “Ms. Maddox, you should consult the other lawyers in the law office. To be honest, I’ve been on leave recently, so I’m not in charge of receiving clients”
“What? But I just want you to work on my case, I’ve long heard that divorce lawsuits are your area of specialty.”
Valeria narrowed her eyes. “Ms. Maddox, let me ask you. What’s the name of our law office?”
Elsie was instantly dumbfounded.
The name of the Law office…
Good lord….
-The name of the law office seemed to be written in the investigation information. Why couldn’t she remember it?
At that time, she had only taken a cursory–look.
Elsie stammered, “It’s called… something law office. It’s called… kind of forgot. Anyway, they recommended you to me. You are the best…

Chapter 208
Before she could finish Valeria stood up with a cold expression. Please leave. You’re not here to consult. You’re here to pry into my private affairs.”
“Please leave. If you don’t leave. I’m going to call security. Valeria looked at the girl before her and felt inexplicably frustrated because she did not know the purpose of this girl’s visit.
Elsie thought, “Call security?”
Hackett’s ex–wife was quite fierce.
Elsie had no choice but to stand up and leave. After all, she did it want to make a big deal out of the situation. She left dejectedly.
After closing the door, Valeria leaned against the door and frowned. After thinking about it, she walked to the sofa and picked up her phone to call Hackett,
The call was quickly picked up, and Hackett’s deep voice came through. “Valeria, what’s wrong?
“Hackett, I find something strange. There’s something I don’t know if I should tell you.”
“Tell me. Ti all
ears.
Valeria thought about it and decided to tell Hackett. After all, Alex was still living here. Even if she did not care about her own safety, she had to consider Alex’s safety.
“Just now, a girl came to look for me and said that she wanted to ask about divorce. However, she kept asking me why I got divorce, how many assets I got, who the child’s custody went to and so on. I felt that it was strange, so I chased her away”
The man on the other end of the line was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Do you remember that girl’s name?”
Valeria thought about it carefully. I remember that girl saying that her name is Elsie Elsie something. Elsie…”
“Elsie Maddox?”
“Yes! Her name is Elsie Maddox! How do you know her name? Do you
know her?”
Valeria was even
n more curious. Did Hackett know that girl?
“I got it Leave this matter to me. You don’t have to worry about it. She won’t bother you again.”
With that, the man was about to hang up when Valeria hurriedly called out, “Don’t hang up yet!”
“Why? Is there anything else?”
Valeria was a little speechless. After hesitating for a while, she said awkwardly, “You’ve been so busy recently that you’ve lost a lot of weight. Are you free tonight? Come over for a meal. It’s a good opportunity to cultivate your relationship with Alex. Alex merely can’t accept it for now. He will slowly accept the fact that you’re his biological father if you play with him more.” There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds before Hackett said, “Okay, see you tonight”
When Valeria heard that he had agreed, she actually heaved a sigh of relief. She couldn’t help but smile. After hanging up the phone, she began to think about what to cook that night.
In the CEO’s office of James Group
After hanging up, Hackett pulled a long face. He directly threw the document in his hand on the ground.
