Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 

The internet celebrities all seemed to have had their perspectives shattered. Their faces/ed shock. In an instant, they 

felt like they had chosen the wrong side. 

The netizens in the livestream chat also began to raise questions 

“What’s going on? Are these elderly folks really the biological parents? How can they treat their daughter like this!” 

“Looking at it this way, Nancy’s behavior that day was completely due to her parents causing a scene at the company Anyone would feel embarrassed in such a situation.” 

“She was being hit and scolded by parents in front of colleagues at the company. I tried to put myself in her shoes, and I felt like I would also jump off the building. These parents are terrible. 

“Everyone, until now, these elderly folks still haven’t gone to the police station to identify their daughter’s body! They’re only holding banners at James Group. Why? It’s definitely for money!” 

Seeing that public opinion was turning against them, the old couple realized there was no benefit in staying here. It was better to leave quickly. 

“You’re a heartless lawyer! How can you always speak up for this company? Aren’t you afraid of retribution? What’s wrong with us coming to the company to find our daughter? What’s wrong with us hitting our daughter? We didn’t make her commit suicide. It was this company that left our daughter no choice! Why do you keep suspecting us instead of questioning this company? How could you say that we forced our daughter to kill herself?” 

The old man pulled his wife and left the first–floor lobby with their banner. If they stayed any longer, they were afraid this lawyer might say something detrimental to them. 

So, amidst a chorus of doubts, the old couple left the company. 

The internet celebrities who were livestreaming also found it uninteresting, so they turned around and left. Valeria looked at the employees who were still watching. She said. “Alright, everyone, get back to work. Disperse.” She turned and walked toward Tyler and Hackett. She raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “It’s settled now.” 

Tyler had now witnessed the power of a lawyer and was dumbfounded. Impressive, impressive. The old couple stayed here for over ten hours, and no one could get rid of them. However, you sent them away in no time. You’re truly a top–notch lawyer.” 

Valeria looked at Hackett. “Do you think the attorney’s fees were worth it?” 

“I’ll give you a raise,” Hackett replied and smiled. 

Tsk, I don’t care. In the future, when I have my own law office, I’ll probably be even busier. Don’t come to me for minor matters in the company. But for big issues like this, you must notify me.” 

He stared at her. “Okay” 

This wasn’t the same Valeria from four years ago, who only revolved around him. Now, she had her own career, her own thoughts, and her own personality. She had become independent. 

Hackett had a strange sense of crisis. Valeria seemed to no longer need his protection. 

If 

one day, Valeria found a man who genuinely loved her, and she loved him in return, what would he do… 

Hackett couldn’t shake the feeling that Valeria’s feelings for him had faded. Now, they seemed to be in a relationship solely 

Chapter 201 

focused on co–parenting their child. She was reluctant to put me investments into their relationship. 

It was already noon. 

The two of them were having lunch in the company cafeteria. 

Valeria didn’t seem very hungry. She ate absentmindedly. On the other hand, Hackett was eating with concentration, though. he didn’t look particularly hungry either. 

“Are you hungry? I remember you used to not really like the food in the company cafeteria, Valeria asked. 

Hackett looked up at her. “Even if I’m not hungry, I still have to eat. Many things require my attention. If I wait until I’m hungry to eat, I might not have the time.” 

Valeria did not reply. 

It seemed to be true. Ever since Barron passed away, all the heavy responsibilities fell on Hackett. 

He didn’t want to bear them, but he had no choice. Every day, as soon as he woke up, there were various matters to attend to. There was no room for choice. 

“How’s the found on your back? Have you been to the hospital? Valeria asked. 

“No. I don’t have the time. I’ve been applying medication myself and it seems to be recovering fine,” Hackett replied. 

After Nancy had helped him apply the medication, he chose to do it himself. Even if he couldn’t reach certain spots, he wouldn’t ask Tyler. That idiot Tyler would only ask his female secretary to do it. Hence, it was better for Hackett to handle it himself 

Valeria frowned. Was this man too neglectful of his well–being? Even if he was busy, he should pay attention to the wound on his back. After all, he was injured by sulfuric acid! 

“I think you’re pushing yourself too hard. You have so many employees. Is it really necessary to do this? That’s sulfuric acid, You should pay attention to the recovery of your wound!” Valeria found herself getting unreasonably angry, and she didn’t even know why she was angry herself. 

Hackett looked at her angry face, but he smiled and asked, “Do you care?” 

“Me!” Valeria was taken aback for a moment. She then quickly denied it. “Why would I care? It’s your body, not mine. Besides, we’re already divorced. You’re my ex–husband. I don’t care about you.” 

Hackett looked at the mashed potato on his plate, seemingly lost in thought. He spoke slowly, “Valeria……. L…” 

“What do you 

want to say?” 

“Never mind, it’s nothing. Finish your meal. I’ll have Tyler take you home later. I have several more meetings in the afternoon” He thought it over and decided that he wasn’t worthy anymore. 

Valeria felt like she might have guessed what he wanted to say, but at the same time, she might not have. 

In the afternoon, Valeria continued to work on her law office affairs and entered the decoration stage. 

She planned to decorate it in a minimalist style and was time to worry about these things herself. 

Then, her phone rang.
