Chapter 242
Valeria sneered and sat in the driver's seat without saying anything else.
Hackett's voice came from behind just as she was about to close the car door. "Since you plan to stay in Creyque and don't want to stay in Keith's law office or work for my company, do you have any other thoughts for your future?" "It's none of your business. What you need to care about is your fiancée. Don't let her always find trouble with me. Thank you in advance, Mr. Ex-husband." After that, Valeria closed the car door.
Hackett frowned and thought if Elsie went to cause trouble for Valeria again.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
However...
Mr. Ex-husband?
He chuckled when he heard that form of address. He repeated in a low voice, "Mr. Ex-husband..."
Tyler, at the side, could not help but say, "Why are you so happy to hear her calling you Mr. Ex-husband?"
Hackett immediately withdrew the smile on his lips and darted a cold glance at Tyler. "Cut the crap. Do you still want to work overtime tonight?"
"No, no. Mr. James, please spare me. I haven't slept much for seven consecutive days. I'm about to die," Tyler complained.
By that time, there was a loud bang in the parking lot..
Hackett and Tyler looked at each other, and their expressions instantly turned grim.
They wondered what was going on there.
Valeria had just driven toward the direction where the sound came out. Did she have
Immediately, they heard Valeria scream, "Help!"
Hackett rushed toward Valeria, without delay, leaving only his back to Tyler.
Tyler looked at Hackett's back and sighed. "Youd that

After sighing, Tyler also ran to Valeria's car because something might have happened from Valeria's shouting.
At the same time, Valeria's car was forced
pillar at the side.
A figure suddenly ran out of nowhere, and Valeria had no choice but to turn the steering wheel.
Her forehead was hit hard by the steering wheel, and she felt dizzy.
Then she heard a fr
knocking on the car window. Light-headed, she unbuckled her seat belt and pushed open the door.
She felt a splash of liquid before she had the time to see who the person outside the car was.
Valeria subconsciously closed the car door to block it, but her arm beneath her clothes was still splashed with some drops.
Soon, she felt a pain in her arm. Was that sulfuric acid?
Only then did Valeria realize she had encountered a lunatic. She opened the car door and ran toward the back of the car because she knew Hackett and Tyler were still there. The two men could stop the lunatic no matter what. 1/3
10:30 Sun,
"Somebody help!"

Valeria did not dare to turn around. She did not even see what that lunatic behind her looked like.
"Ah!"
She was wearing high heels. While running, she twisted her ankle and fell to the ground. 160.92%u
Valeria wanted to stand up but realized her foot was in so much pain that she failed. It seemed she had injured her ankle. She kept retreating and looked at the lunatic, who was muffled up. ""Who are you?"
"Who am I? Why did I end up like this? Why did the entire world despise me and Hackett abandon me, but you're still so beautiful? Why? I want you to be as ugly as I am! It's all your fault that I became like this today!" Valeria saw the lunatic remove the veil on her head and reveal her face. It was Cheryl.
Cheryl was agitated, making the scar on her face look even more ferocious and terrifying. It was as scary as a ghost that had escaped from hell.
"Cheryl, are you out of your mind? What does your ending up like this have to do with me? Weren't you the one who orchestrated all of this?" Valeria retorted.
However, Valeria calmed down and thought about it. She should protect her safety first instead of provoking the crazy
woman.
"It's all your fault! It's you! If you hadn't returned to the country, I would have married Hackett long ago! Elsie wouldn't even get involved in these! It's all your fault!"
Cheryl broke down and cried loudly. The underground parking lot was filled with the echoes of her crying. It was eerie and frightening.
Meanwhile, Cheryl still had half a bottle of sulfuric acid in her hand. If she splashed it on Valeria now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Calm down. If you want to talk to me, we can find another place..."
Valeria tried her best to stand up, but still, she could not
She kept staring at the small bottle of sulfuric acid in Cheryl's hand. She was so anxio de atender the
that her eyelashes were trembling.
"I have nothing to say to you! I want you to be like me. So ugly. All of this is because of you. Why did you have to come back to the country? Tell me why you came back to ruin the happiness I was about to have..." Cheryl cried as she walked forward. Valeria slowly moved back because she really could not stand up. Her foot hurt, and her ankle seemed to be slowly swetting.
Cheryl suddenly raised the bottle and splashed it at Valeria. "Valeria Sharp, I hate you!"
When Valeria saw that, she subconsciously closed her eyes. She felt she was doomed. Her life was over.
Unexpectedly, a powerful force suddenly pulled her up from the ground and hid her behind him, blocking the sulfuric acid for her.
Valeria opened her eyes and realized Hackett was standing in front of her. She was stunned.
"Cheryl! Stop it!" Hackett used his back to block the sulfuric acid and turned around to roar.
The bottle in Cheryl's hand fell to the ground and shattered. Tears streamed down her face. She was heartbroken, "Hackett,
why did you do this? Why did you block it for her? Why... You..."
Valeria panicked. Tears welled up in her eyes, and even her fingertips trembled.
She said in a quavering voice, "Take off your clothes quickly. That's sulfuric acid!"

Hackett felt a burning pain in his back. He glared at Cheryl and said, "Are you fucking tired of living? Do you think you can splash sulfuric acid casually like splashing water?"
With that, he quickly took off his coat. Fortunately, it was thick, but the corrosive power of sulfuric acid was not something a coat could withstand.
The coat was thrown to the ground, and his white shirt underneath it was permeated and stained red by a large pool of blood.
Valeria burst into tears when she saw the scene. Her fingertips trembled as she wanted to touch his back, but it was covered in blood. She did not dare to touch it.
Tyler rushed over and grabbed Cheryl. He scolded angrily, "Cheryl, you're crazy. How dare you use sulfuric acid? Do you want to go to jail?"
"Send her to the police station. I don't want to see her again," Hackett said mercilessly without looking at Cheryl again.
Tyler said, "Sir, I'll ask Fred to send you and Ms. Sharp to the hospital."
"Hackett, you can't do this to me. Hackett... I love you. You know how much I love you. Didn't you promise my brother that you would take care of me? How can you do this to me?"
