Chapter 396
After washing up, Valeria casually changed into sportswear and arrived at the villa.
Valeria saw Tyler, who was getting impatient after waiting for quite some time. Valeria went forward and said in a frustrat tone, “Did you have to be so early? It’s only 7:30.”
Tyler opened the car door for Valeria and said, “But even if we don’t take the traffic situation into account, it’s a half–hour drive from here. Mr. James is already queuing there. He doesn’t want to waste time.”
Valeria didn’t say anything.
“He was queueing? Wasn’t Hackett going a little too far?” Valeria thought.
It was ironic. Back then, when Valeria had registered their marriage, Hackett was nowhere to be seen. He had asked Barron to find someone to get it done.
Now that they were getting remarried, Hackett appeared in person and even woke up two hours early to go and queue.

When they arrived at the building, it was already past 8 a.m. Through the car window, Valeria saw a handsome and tall figure standing there with a dark expression.
The car slowly stopped, and Valeria pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
Hackett saw Valeria in a glance and without any explanation, walked to her and pulled her into the inside hall.
Hackett had waited for two hours and almost had a mental breakdown. Hackett thought that Valeria had gone back on her word, so the moment he saw her get out of the car, he felt a sense of relief.
“Slow down, I can’t keep up…” Valeria was practically jogging behind Hackett.
Hackett pulled Valeria into the hall. There were already many people queuing up to register their marriage. Hackett’s expression turned even uglier, and he held Valeria’s hand tightly making her frown in pain.
Valeria gave an embarrassed laugh. “There aren’t many couples. It’ll be our turn soon.”
Hackett’s handsome face was still dark as he looked at her. “You came so late. Are you planning to go back on your word?”
“I’m not… You’re exaggerating. We’re not children anymore. Besides, we’re getting remarried. Is there a need to be the first person in line?”
Valeria couldn’t understand. Their child was already in kindergarten, so what was the point of being so insistent on some lame romance?
Hackett remained silent and stared at Valeria as if he wanted to look right through her.
“Why are you looking at me like that…” Valeria felt uncomfortable under his gaze, wondering if she had said something wrong.
“So what if we’re getting remarried? Even if it’s a remarriage, don’t you think there should be some formalities? Are you even a woman? Which woman doesn’t like romance or formalities?‘
Hackett thought that Valeria would like these kinds of formalities. Hackett had not expected her to be so casual about it.
“…” It wasn’t that Valeria didn’t like the formalities, but she wasn sure that it was necessary, After all, it was just a remarriage.
As such, while they went through the process of registering their marriage, Hackett had a dark expression on his face. Hackett almost made the staff think that Valeria was forcing Hackett to marry her.

Hackett intended to keep both the marriage certificates and did not plan on telling Valeria where he was going to keep them.
“Aren’t you going to give me one?” Valeria could not help but ask as she watched Hackett put away both certificates.
Hackett grunted. “I’ll keep them safely.”
Valeria was speechless and wondered why she felt like she had been tricked.
“So what are you going to do now?”
Hackett glanced at Valeria. “I will go to the hospital and check on how the DNA test is going. We have to send that plague away quickly. Otherwise, you and our son won’t dare to leave the house.”
“Okay…”
Hackett opened the car door for Valeria as she got in. Hackett spoke directly to Tyler, “Take her back to pack her bags.”
“Pack my bags?” Valeria looked puzzled.
Hackett answered, “Yes, I’ll pick you and Alex up tonight and we’ll return to the manor. We’re legally married now, so we should live together.”
What Hackett said was so logical that Valeria was speechless.
After saying that, Hackett closed the car door. Through the window, Valeria saw Hackett say something to Tyler before Tyler returned to the car.
Tyler drove away slowly while Hackett stood there and watched them leave.
“What did your Mr. James say to you just now?”
Tyler could not help but laugh. “Do you really want to know?”
“Tell me.” Valeria’s curiosity was piqued.
Tyler coughed twice before he spoke, “Mr. James asked me to supervise your packing personally. Then, he wants me to bring you and Mr. Alex back to the manor. He said that if you’re unwilling, I should use force to get it done.”
The corner of Valeria’s mouth could not help but twitch. “What was this bastard doing?” Valeria wondered.
After Tyler drove away with Valeria, Hackett got into his car and drove straight to the hospital.
If a simple DNA test could send Simon away, Hackett had no reason not to do it. Hackett didn’t want to get into a fight with Simon at a time like this. He still had a lot on his plate and hadn’t gotten hold of his grandfather’s shares
After arriving at the hospital, Hackett went straight to Emerson Gardner’s office. Hackett had directly asked Emerson to do this test, which could shorten a lot of waiting time.
After arriving at the office, Hackett sat in a chair and waited for Emerson to return.
It wasn’t long before a gray–haired man entered the office, with an uncomfortable expression on his face.
“Mr. James, you’re here.”
“Professor Gardner, are the DNA results out?
