Chapter 93
Valeria’s hair stood on end when she thought of this possibility. She felt a chill run down her spine.
If that were the case, Cheryl would be a dangerous woman?
She wondered, “Why did Cheryl do this? To get Hackett to love her? To make Hackett change his mind
As she thought about it, the water in the pot overflowed, but sheilid not notice it.
Keith heard everything through the phone and reminded her, “Valeria, have your spaghetti noodles burnt? I can hear the water overflowing”
Only then did she snap back from her thoughts. “Oh! I’m going to hang up the call. My noodles are going to burn. I’ll have to deal with my lunch first.”
After hanging up the phone, Valeria quickly turned off the fire, added some cold water to the pot, and scooped the spaghetti noodles into a bowl. However, it was already burnt and could not be eaten.
She was too lazy to cook another bowl of spaghetti noodles. Besides, it was almost time for her to meet her client
Valeria had no choice but to go upstairs and change her clothes. She put on clean and simple makeup, packed her things, and prepared to meet the client.
The venue they agreed to meet at was the Brownie Cafe.
Valeria arrived at the cafe and chose an obvious seat in case the dient couldn’t find her later.
However, it was this exposed position that allowed her to scan the entire place. She immediately saw Cheryl sitting in the
comer.
She thought, “Cheryl is also in here?”
She saw a man dressed strangely sitting opposite Cheryl. Instead of saying he was dressed strangely, he looked more like a mysterious man covering himself up tightly. He wore black sunglasses, a black mask, and a black cap.
It was weird for someone to dress like this, especially on a rainy day. He looked like a fugitive.
“Ms. Sharp, right?”
Valeria was engrossed in watching when her client arrived.
“Yes, I’m Valeria Sharp. Please take a seat.” She had no choice but to look away and continue with her work.
So, for the next hour, she was so focused on talking to her clients that she didn’t notice what Cheryl was doing in the corner.
After she sent the client off, she realized that Cheryl, who was in the corner, seemed to have disappeared too.
Valeria looked around but did not see Cheryl She might have left. The seat she was sitting in was facing the door of the cafe It was impossible that she did not see Cheryl leave.
She frowned slightly and walked to the front desk to pay the bill and leave.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, she saw Cheryl coming out of the washroom and walking toward her.
Cheryl also seemed surprised to see her but remained calm on the surface.
“What a coincidence. You’re here too?” Cheryl thought Valeria had just entered the cafe and did not see who she

meeting
Valeria said. “Haven’t you always been fascinated with Hackett? Now that the car crash injured him, why aren’t you accompanying him in the ward?”
This didn’t seem to match Cheryl’s personality at all. She was all about Hackett every day.
Valeria then recalled the phone call from Cheryl at the hospital that day. She thought, “Could the car accident really be related to this girl?”
“Of course, I’ll accompany Hackett. I’m going there now,” said Cheryl as she planned to leave.
Valeria stared at her back for a few seconds and slowly said, “Hackett had a car accident, and you’re still so calm. Could this car crash have something to do with you?”
Cheryl instantly stopped with a faint smile on her lips.
She couldn’t figure out what Valeria knew or didn’t know.
Cheryl did not dare to expose herself now because she did not know how much Valeria knew,
“Valeria, you have to be careful with what you say. You sound like you are accusing me of it. Do you mean that I let Hackett get into a car crash? I heard from the butler that Hackett got into a car accident on the way to pick you up
Valeria scoffed.
This girl tried to put the blame on her instead,
Valeria felt the car accident had something to do with Cheryl from her reaction. This girl was definitely not as innocent as she looked.
“Doesn’t everyone think your brother’s vengeful spirit is taking revenge on him? Moreover, it happened on his birthday.” Valeria wanted to see what Cheryl thought of the retribution.
Cheryl smiled. “Valeria, you’re a lawyer, after all. How can you believe in retribution? My brother was loyal to Hackett when he was alive. How could he take revenge on him after he died? I don’t believe in retribution.”
Valeria questioned like she was interrogating a criminal and started getting information from her, “Why didn’t you look for Hackett on Hackett’s birthday? You should want to spend time with him.”
“Are you mocking me on purpose? Should I look for Hackett to watch him cook a table of food for you?”
Cheryl was angry at the mention of Hackett’s birthday. She did not want to be so cruel to Hackett.
However, Hackett disappointed her too much. He was actually willing to cook a table of food for Valeria and even personally pick up Valeria for his birthday.
In the past, she would always stay by Hackett’s side and celebrate his birthday with him. She knew that Hackett hated the day of his birthday the most.
However, she did not expect this man to think it through this year. However, it was not for her, but for Valeria
She was madly jealous. That was why she directed this car accident. She just wanted to teach Hackett a small lesson so that Hackett would never forget her brother’s death and his entrustment before he died.
Valeria squinted her eyes. “So, you went to look for him? Otherwise, how would you know he made a table full of food?” T–I called to ask. The butler told me!”
