Chapter 250
“Valeria. I didn’t mean that. The man frowned.
Valeria sneered coldly. “I find all of you quite amusing. You, your lancée, and your future father–in–law, what kind of drama
are
you all acting in Clayton asked me to draft a prenuptial agreement, and Elsie told me you both had a plan and said you love me. If I hadn’t seen her coming to ask you to accompany her trying on wedding dresses today and thought about how you shielded me from sulfuric acid, I might have believed her words”
Hackett could not react to Valeria’s frustration, but only thought to himself, “Elsie really knew how to cause trouble! Always doing foolish things!”
Tears welled up in Valeria’s eyes. “Hackett, I really don’t know what you’re thinking, what you want to do, or if there’s anything left on me that’s worth using. She couldn’t think of anything about herself that this man would find worth using Why did he keep tormenting her, giving her hope and then disappointment?
“Mommy… are you and Daddy fighting?” Alex looked up at her and asked softly.
Valeria then realized that the child was still with her and that they shouldn’t argue in front of the child:
“No, Daddy is very busy with work. Let’s go back first. After saying that, Valeria picked up the baby boy and left the office without looking back. May quickly followed.
Once the door was closed, Hackett wearily closed his eyes.
After a while, the office phone rang. He pressed the answer button, and May’s voice came through. “Mr. James, it’s time for the meeting. Please go to the conference room, and Ms. Sharp has also been sent away.”
“Okay, I got it.” After hanging up the phone, the man involuntarily leaned back in his chair, groaned in pain, and furrowed
his brow
Then he straightened up. He had never thought about using the sulfuric acid incident to win Valeria’s affection. It was just an instinctive reaction. Perhaps Valeria was more important to him than he had imagined.
However, Hackett had already forgotten about the email in his computer that had simulated the appearance of the other daughter of the Maddox family twenty years later. He had no mood to look at it now. He picked up the documents, stood up, and left the office,
Meanwhile, outside the office in the rest area, Elsie was sitting there playing with her phone. When she saw the man coming out, she quickly put away her phone and approached him. “Your ex–wife… she won’t be angry, will she!” Because she had noticed that Valeria’s expression hadn’t been good just now.
Hackett was really annoyed by her, but he continued walking towards the elevator, preparing to go to the high–level conference room.
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Elsie hurriedly caught up. “Can you say something? I’m talking to you, are your dear?” Suddenly, the man stopped in his tracks. Elsie also braked abruptly and almost bumped into his back.
“You’ve forgotten what you promised me, haven’t you?”
What did I promise you…” Elsie looked bewildered and couldn remember anything, overwhelmed by the man’s anger.
Seeing her reaction, Hackett was infuriated and gave a scornful sneer. “It seems you’ve really forgotten everything. So, don’t expect things to go well for Kaden from then on.”
The man’s eyes turned sinister as he finished speaking and entered the elevator. Elsie hesitated for a moment. Then, she realized this man was planning to cause trouble for Kaden again

She hurriedly entered the elevator, and Hackett angrily shouted, “Get out!”
93%
“I won’t!” Elsie pressed the elevator close button, and the doors slowly closed. So, it was just the two of them in the elevator
Elsie stared at the man’s perfectly flawless side profile and asked What did you mean by that just now? What does it have to do with Kaden? Why are you causing trouble for him?”
“Why? Who gave you the right to harass my ex–wife? Haven’t I told you not to bother her and her son? Are you out of your mind Hackett couldn’t contain his anger at this moment, and lie was getting more and more irritated by the sight of this lady. If it weren’t for trying to reclaim the shares held by his grandfather, he wouldn’t have even spared a glance at Elsie, let alone get involved with the Maddox family
“When did I harass your ex–wife? After the last time. I never contacted her again” Elsie felt wronged. Why did this man have such a terrible temper? She couldn’t understand how Valeria put up with it.
Hackett retorted, “Is that so? Then who told Valeria that you and I had a plan and that I love her? Wasn’t it you? Or was it a dog
It was then that Elsie remembered the party last night and was left speechless. It had been an accidental encounter at the party, and she hadn’t deliberately sought her out
“Do you remember now? Have nothing to say? So, let me tell you, tonight, Kaden will definitely not have an easy time.” With a ding, the elevator door slowly opened. Hackett stepped out with long strides, leaving Elsie in a complete panic.
“It was an accidental encounter at a party last night. I didn’t go find her on purpose, and I did it to help you. I wanted to explain everything to her for you and prevent her from misunderstanding you. You clearly still love her, so why pretend not to care: 1… Elsie continued to ramble as she followed the man, but he couldn’t take it anymore and angrily shouted. “Enough, shut up!”
Elve was dumbfounded by the shout, standing still and not moving
business. Who do you think you are? Mind your own business!” With that, the man turned and “My affairs are none of your walked towards the conference room.
She was left standing there alone, tears welling up in her eyes. No one had ever scolded her so harshly before… She felt so wronged in that instant. She had just wanted to help explain things for Hackett….
Elsie wanted to say more, but she saw that the man had already entered the conference room, and she didn’t want to his meeting.
