Chapter 215
Valeria alinost thought that she had misheard it. She looked at the man standing there in disbelief.
However, Hackett did not show any expression on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
She stared at the man for a long time, but there was no reaction from him..
So… he didn’t intend to explain. Did that mean he acquiesced?
Suddenly, the atmosphere became very strange. No one spoke.
Valeria was still recovering from her shock, whille Hackett had nowhere to vent his anger. He could only endure it for now.
As for Clayton, he had long planned for this moment tonight. He knew that Hackett still had fantasies about his ex–wife, That was why Hackett refused to let his ex–wife know that he was about to get engaged. Hence, tonight, Clayton wanted to shatter Hackett’s fantasies completely.
Jacob sensed the awkward atmosphere and couldn’t help but say “What’s wrong with you guys? Why aren’t you saying anything? Ms. Sharp?”
When she heard Jacob call her name, Valeria recovered from her shock. “What? Did you call me?”
“Yes, I called you. Why aren’t you saying anything? You should be very familiar with prenuptial agreements, right?
Valeria retracted her gaze from Hackett and forced a smile. “Yes, I’m quite familiar with them. If it’s necessary, Mr. Maddox, you can ask me to help you draft the contents of the prenuptial agreement.”
At this moment, Valeria had mixed feelings
Hackett was getting engaged with the heiress of the Maddox Group?
She wasn’t aware of it at all. She even foolishly called and invited Hackett for dinner the day before. She had been so stupid.
That was why Elsie, the heiress of the Maddox Group, approached her yesterday to find out about her divorce. Her purpose was only to find out more about Hackett.
At the thought of that, Valeria wanted to slap herself. How could she have been so stupid?
No wonder Hackett wanted to chase her and her son overseas. It turned out that he didn’t want them to stay and hinder his wedding.
Valeria snorted inwardly.
What a joke
Valeria looked at the man standing in front of her. He was so close, yet it seemed like he was thousands of miles away. Clayton raised an eyebrow when he heard what Valeria said. “Is that so? That’s great. We can talk about the details when we have time. The engagement ceremony will be held next month, and they will get married at the end of the year. There isn’t much time left,
They were getting engaged next month….
And they were getting married at the end of the year…
Valeria snorted inwardly.

Chapter 213
Valeria’s heart was aching. She did not know why her heart was orting so much, as if it had been torn apart.
Hackett was only her ex–husband now. What right did she have to care if he remarried?
However, her heart still hurt so much that she couldn’t say anything
She felt that she was a joket
Valeria felt that she could not stay any longer. She could not remain even a second longer. She held back the tears in her
eyes.
“Mr. Williams, Mr. Maddox, I have something to deal with. Let’s talk next time. If you need to draft a prenuptial agreement, you can contact me directly.”
Jacob had no idea what was going on and wanted Valeria to stay, ley, Ms. Sharp, you’ve just arrived and you’re already leaving. Stay for a while longer. I still have many friends to introduce to you. Perhaps you will work together in the future. They’re quite generous.”
Jacob had good intentions and wanted to introduce some connections to Valeria. He was trying to introduce potential clients to her.
“I really have something on. Let’s talk another day.”
Valeria felt that she could not control her tears anymore. She turned around and quickly fled.
“Ms. Sharp! Ms. Sharp No matter how Jacob shouted. Valeria did not turn around.
Looking at Valeria’s fleeing back, Hackett gripped the wine glass in his hand tightly, his handsome face filled with displeasure.
Clayton, on the other hand, revealed a satisfied sinile.
Now that Valeria already knew about Hackett’s engagement, there would definitely be a quarrel between the two of them.
After the quarrel, they would go their separate ways. This was the result he wanted to see the most
Hackett said through gritted teeth, “Mr. Maddox, what do you mean by this? You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
This wily old fox was definitely doing this on purpose. He was deliberately embarrassing him and eradicating obstacles that might appear in his precious daughter’s marriage.
Clayton swirled the glass of red wine in his hand and said slowly, “I don’t understand what you mean. Why? Do you know Ms. Sharp? I saw her staring at you for a long time just now. The young lady was so aggrieved that her tears were about to fall. Why didn’t you greet her? Tsk, 15k.”
Hackett was quiet.
Without a word, Hackett set the glass of red wine aside forcefully and turned toward the exit of the banquet hall.
Clayton looked at Hackett’s angry back and muttered to himself Go ahead. Some fights in life have to be fought. You can only start over after you’re done with the fight.”
Clayton looked at the glass of red wine in his hand and could not help but laugh.
Since Hackett wanted to be his son–in–law, he had to clean up his private life. Clayton would not leave any hidden dangers for his precious daughter’s future happiness.
Valeria walked all the way to the underground garage and headed for her parking space.
