Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

-

ΕΣ

No matter what Clayton said, Hackett responded with a cold attitude. Clayton was helpless.

"Alright, I won't interfere with your private matters, but you'd better settle them quickly. Also, don't miss your date with Elsie today."

After saying that, Clayton stood up and left. He was already very dissatisfied with Hackett, but now that things had come to this, he could only endure it.

Otherwise, what should Clayton do to the engagement party at the end of the month?

Although most people did not know about the engagement, Clayton's good friends in the industry knew that the Maddox and the James families were having a marriage alliance. Many people would have laughed at Clayton if the two families had fallen out and canceled the engagement.

Hackett looked at Clayton's departing figure and let out a mocking laugh.

He was mocking Clayton and was also mocking himself.

His phone began to buzz.

Hackett checked it and saw that it was a call from the butler of the manor.

He picked up the phone, and Ernest's voice came from the other end. "Mr. James, Ms. Yeats refuses to leave. I already said it was your idea, but she refused to leave. She even said that if you want to chase her away, you have to come personally."

Frustration appeared between Hackett's brows. His slender fingers pinched the space between his brows. "Alright, I understand. You can go."

Cheryl was such a big trouble. She was so possessive and clingy, and it was hard to get rid of her.

After hanging up the phone, Hackett suddenly thought of someone. Perhaps that person could help him solve the problem of Cheryl.

Hackett's lips curled into a smile as he got up slowly and left the meeting room.

He walked toward his office.

When he opened the office door, he saw that scene.

Tyler placed Alex on the sofa, who fell asleep. Tyler covered Alex with a blanket and guarded him.

Meanwhile, Elsie was sitting on the sofa opposite Tyler, reading a financial magazine with a bored look. She would roll her eyes at the sleeping child from time to time.

Tyler immediately stood up when he saw Hackett enter.

Hackett gestured for Tyler to sit down. "Stay with Alex. Ms. Maddox and I are going out to talk about something."

"Ms. Maddox, let's go and grab a cup of coffee." Hackett turned around and walked out,

Elsie had been sitting too long, and her legs were feeling numb. She threw down the financial magazine in her hand, got up, stretched, and slowly left the office.

If her father had not forced her to wait for Hackett to finish the meeting and follow Hackett to try on the dress, she would not have stayed there foolishly.

The two arrived at the coffee shop on the company's third floor and sat by the window.

The weather was good today. The mild sunlight shone on Hackett's side, making him look like he had walked out of a comic. He was flawless and impeccable. For a moment, Elsie was mesmerized by Hackett's appearance.

"What are you looking at?" Hackett's tone was cold.

Hackett did not like people staring at him like that. He hated it when they stared at him in a daze.

His voice snapped Elsie out of her daze, and she averted her eyes away. "It's nothing. Why did you choose this place? The sun is too bright."

"It's just nice to dry the water in your brain."

Elsie was shocked by Hackett's mean words. She did not expect, Hackett to be so straightforward.

"How can you say that? Hackett! Did you ask me here to irritate me?"

She realized that Hackett could easily anger her. She was about to explode from anger.

Hackett picked up his coffee and took a sip. "Back to business. We can cooperate again and take what each other needs."

Cooperation?

"Cooperate on what?" Elsie asked.

"Go chase someone away for me. I'll help you find your man and arrange for you to meet with him." Hackett thought the offer he gave was tempting enough. At least i I was enough to lure Elsie.

As expected, Elsie's eyes widened. "Are you serious? Okay! I'll help you! Tell me, who do you want me to chase away for you?" A smile appeared on Hackett's face. "You're so devoted to Kaden I'm almost touched." "Cut the crap and tell me!"

Elsie just did not want to drag Kaden down. Her father was doing it on purpose. He could not bear to punish her, so he turned to punish Kaden.

Hackett said, "Tyler will bring you there later. After you're done, I'll take you to see Kaden tonight."

"Do you know where Kaden is being held?"

She had thought that Hackett had no idea. It seemed that she had underestimated Hackett's ability.

Hackett did not say anything. He gave her a meaningful look and let her guess it herself.

At the James Manor.

Hackett took Alex to the amusement park while Tyler drove Elsie back to the manor to carry out their plan.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"I didn't expect the James Manor to be so luxurious. It's so big..."

Elsie thought that the Maddox family's house was already spectacular enough. Her father had spent hundreds of millions to build it. She did not expect the James family to be even more luxurious. Tyler did not reply. Instead, he brought her to Cheryl's place.

Mandy was sent to the sanatorium, and Cheryl continued to stay there, saying she was waiting for Mandy to return.

Cheryl was watching a movie in the manor's home theater. She was already used to life in it and was willing to stay there for the rest of her life.

After all, Cheryl was disfigured now. If she moved out, she would only be laughed at by everyone. She might as well hide there and be isolated from the world. No one would dare to laugh at her.

. Tyler pushed open the door of the home theater, and the movie came to an abrupt stop.

Elsie walked in and saw Cheryl sitting on the chair. Before Elsie could say anything, Cheryl shouted angrily, "Who are you? Get out! Go!"

Cheryl hurriedly covered her face because she did not want anyone to see the scar on her face. She felt more like a clown and did not want to see anyone.

"Oh, you're so afraid of meeting people? Then why are you always eager to meet my fiancé? Do you think he'll like you when he sees you like this? Why are you staying here?"

Elsie displayed how mean she could be. Tyler could not help but laugh. Elsie was probably the only one who could deal with Cheryl.

"What did you say? Don't you dare repeat it! I was much prettier than you in the past! Do you think Hackett will like you?" Cheryl did not think that Hackett would like Elsie. She and Valeria were both better-looking than Elsie. That was why she was furious. Why did Hackett's standards drop so much?

What made her even more furious was that although Elsie was not as beautiful as she and Valeria, Elsie's family background was something she and Valeria could not catch up to in a few lifetimes.

If Hackett was pursuing a beauty, Cheryl might still have a chance. However, she had no chance of winning if what Hackett wanted was power.

Elsie crossed her arms as if she was watching a joke. "So what? He still chose me over you, especially you now. How dare you say that you're pretty? Have you looked in the mirror? Do you want me to buy you one?"
