Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 469

Valeria replied, “It’s alright. I’ll communicate with Mr. Cooper. He may not be aware of the details. If he learns about your situation, he’ll definitely take on the case,”

One must know that Keith’s secretary was also a snob and had never taken on ordinary people’s cases.

The man said, “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you at Lily Cafe. See you there.”

“Alright, I’ll be right out.”

Valeria immediately got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Then, she changed into a new outfit, borrowed a car from Ernest, and left the manor.

After she left, Ernest called Hackett to report. On the other end of the line, Hackett was in a meeting with a client and casually responded, “Understood.”

While driving, Valeria was in contact with Keith. She had studied law in order to uphold justice, and now that such a tragic case had come up, she had no reason to stand idly by.

It took a long time for the call to connect, and Keith’s voice came through. “Valeria? I didn’t expect you to call me voluntarily. After yesterday, I thought you’d never call me again in your life.

Valeria didn’t want to call Keith, but this matter was indeed urgent, and she couldn’t worry about that now.

“Keith, listen, it’s extremely urgent now. There’s a case that’s been brought to my attention, but I’m really not in a position to handle the defense right now. I want to pass this case on to you. To put it simply, it’s a case where a three–year–old girl was killed by a guy. It’s said that the guy has hired a lawyer, and there’s a high chance this case may result in probation for the perpetrator. The father…”

Valeria’s words were interrupted by Keith’s question. “Have you confirmed that it’s true? Valeria, have you been deceived? If such a heinous case is true, there’s no reason for me not to know. I deal with the police and the courts all day long. If there is such a heinous case, how could I not know? Are you sure it was the parties involved who contacted you?”

Suddenly, Valeria calmed down, and the car had already come to a slow stop near Lily Cafe.

She quickly found a parking spot and then picked up her phone to continue the conversation with Keith.

“The person who called claimed to be the little girl’s father. If he was lying, why would he make up such a tragic story. contact me? And why did he set up a meeting at Lily Cafe? What’s his intention?”

“Have you already arrived at the cafe? Don’t go in yet. Wait for me. I’m on my way. I’m near Lily Cafe.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Valeria fell into contemplation and confusion.

She felt it shouldn’t be a lie. Why would someone make up such a tragic story to deceive her? And what was their motive? After getting out of the car, Valeria arrived outside the cafe, scanning the interior. After a while, she couldn’t find anyone who’ matched the description of the man from the phone call.

After a while, Keith appeared behind her. “Valeria.”

She turned around. “Keith, you’re here.”

Keith said, “I made some calls just now. There’s been no recent trial for a case of this nature, and a case like this would definitely make the news. I haven’t seen anything about it in any news reports. You might have been deceived.”

Valeria furrowed her brows and didn’t say anything. Instead, she picked up her phone and dialed the unfamiliar number from before.

Unexpectedly, the phone was turned off.

What did this mean? The man asked her to meet him, but he turned off their phone.

Could it be, as Keith suggested, that she was being deceived?

“This is strange. It’s turned off. Could it really have been a ploy to lure me out? But for what purpose?” Valeria said. She then looked at Keith.

Keith couldn’t make sense of the call either. He said, “It might be someone with a grudge against you. You’ve taken on many tough cases in the name of justice. Those people hold deep grudges against you.

Valeria went quiet, contemplating if an enemy was trying to take revenge on her.
