Chapter 213 

Clayton turned around and saw Elsie and Hackett returning together. 

Hackett was expressionless while Elsie pulled a long face full of resentment toward her father. 

“Dad, did you ask Hackett to bring me back?” 

Although she had already guessed it, she still wanted to hear it from her father. 

Clayton nodded. “What else could I do? Watch you clope with that poor guy? Let me tell you, from today onwards, stay at home. You’re not allowed to go anywhere. Prepare for the engagement party next month. If you dare to take a step out of the house, I’ll break your legs!” 

“Daddy! You’re unreasonable! I’ll tell you today that I won’t marry anyone but Kaden! L… 

Once again, Elsie lost control of her emotions and voiced her true thoughts. 

The man at the side pretended to cough casually as if he was reminding Elsie. 

Elsie promptly received the man’s signal and immediately shut her mouth. She cleared her throat and said, “T… I’m a little sleepy. I’m going upstairs to sleep. 

With that said, she planned to turn around and go upstairs. 

However, Clayton could tell that there was a secret between Elsie and Hackett. Narrowing his eyes, Clayton called out to his daughter, “Stop right there. What were you trying to say just now?” 

“I didn’t want to say anything. I’m just begging you not to hurt Kaden. Otherwise, the engagement party will definitely not go smoothly. You know my personality!” 

After saying that, Elsie turned around and went upstairs without looking back. She would leave the rest of the explanation to Hackett, that scheming man. 

Elsie was dumbfounded when Hackett told her his plan on the road just now. She decided to call this man a scheming man for the time being. He was as shrewd as her father, Clayton. 

Clayton looked at Hackett beside him. “W 

hat’s going on?” 

“Mr. Maddox, don’t worry. The engagement ceremony will be held next month as planned. I used a stalling tactic with Elsie. Now, she believes in me without a doubt because she thinks that have the ability to deceive you.” Hackett sat on the armchair as if it was his own home. 

The look on Clayton’s face changed from puzzlement to mild amusement. “Oh So you’ve promised her that you’ll let her be with that poor guy without a hitch.” 

course. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so obedient. You know Elsie the best.” 

Clayton smiled meaningfully. 

He had long known that Hackett was artful, but he did not expect this fellow to come up with something. 

However, the process did not matter. What mattered was that his precious daughter had agreed to be engaged. They would be engaged first. Everything would slowly proceed according to his plan. : 

“Hackett, well done. It seems that your grandfather was right to favor you back then. He had always told me that you are the successor he thought highly of. However, you were too careless this time. How could you let your aunt’s family seize your grandfather’s shares? Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can’t stay dispirited for too

long. The resources in your hands wait for no one, Clayton warned again. 

The man looked up at Clayton and pursed his lips tightly without saying a word. 

He knew that Clayton did not trust him that much yet. After all. Clayton only had one precious daughter, and he wanted to find someone to entrust his daughter’s life to, 

However, the plan to reclaim the shares could only officially begin if Clayton trusted him completely. 

The next day. 

Valeria had nothing to do at home these few days, so she might as well send Alex to kindergarten. 

“Mommy, Hackett…” After Alex mentioned Hackell, he looked awkward and could not continue his words. 

Valeria waited patiently for Alex to continue speaking. 

“Alex, what do you want to say? Speak. I am listening” 

Alex frowned and thought for a moment. He said in a childish voice, “Do I have to call Hackett Daddy in the future? I’m not ready yet.” 

“Then call him Daddy when you’re ready. Didn’t Hackett say that he’s not in a hurry? He can wait slowly.” 

Alex pouted and thought for a long time before saying. Then will he abandon us again in the future? If that happens one day in the future, I might as well not want a father. It’s useless anyway.” 

It seemed that the thoughts that Valeria had instilled in her child over the years were deeply rooted. Alex still felt that his father would not really like them. 

Valeria suddenly felt a little guilty. This was all her fault. 

No matter how deep the conflict between the adults was, she should not have involved the child, let alone instill those thoughts in him. 

“No, your father will never abandon you.” 

Alex stared at Valeria for a long time. “Alright, I will trust him then.” 

With that, Alex let go of Valeria’s hand and walked toward his classroom. 

Only then did Valeria realize that she had reached the classroom. That little brat did not even turn around to say goodbye to 

her. 

Why did she suddenly feel like her son had grown up? 

She was very reluctant. She wanted Alex to always stay at her side like this, but he had to grow up eventually 

The only people in this world who would stay at her side now were probably Alex and Hackett. 

These two people were the closest to her, although Hackett was still her ex–husband. 

A ringing tone was heard. 

Valeria’s phone rang
