Chapter 39

Valeria was pushed into a room with her hands tied and a blindfold over her eyes. Then, the kidnapper slammed the door.

shut,

She fell on the carpet, and then she moved her body slowly. It seemed she had touched a bed.

She tried her best to remove the blindfold before she could see the room in front of her clearly. It looked like a nightclub's private room.

Could this be the kidnappers territory?

Now, Valeria could do nothing but wait here.

She suddenly saw a window over there. She stood up with difficulty and jumped over to take a look. She found that the room was high off the ground. If she jumped down from here, she would either die or be crippled. She wondered if Hackett would bring the ransom to save her again.

Valeria felt a little conflicted. On the one hand, she did not want Hackett to waste any more money, and on the other hand, she was secretly looking forward to someone saving her. Suddenly, the door was kicked open

Valeria subconsciously took a step back. The kidnapper walked over with her phone. "Say something to your husband. He's worried about you and wants to hear your voice."

The man forcefully pulled Valeria over and placed the phone by her ear.

Valeria stared at the man in front of her and refused to say a word

"Something! Do you still want to be beaten up?" the man threatened fiercely.

Hackett's voice came from the phone. "Valeria, speak! Let me hear your voice!"

"It's me..." She actually didn't know what to say now.

In fact, she wanted to tell Hackett to stop throwing money. These kidnappers' greed was endless. After Hackett gave them 2 million dollars, they would ask for more money.

Hearing her voice, Hackett calmed himself down slightly and said, "Wait for me. I'll come and save you immediately. Hold

on for a few more minutes"

"A few minutes?

"Is Hackett joking? Or is he just comforting me?"

The kidnapper took the phone away. "All right, you have heard your wife's voice, right? You can rest easy now. Mr. Janes, you'd better hurry back and prepare the money. Otherwise, your wife might really suffer a little."

At the same time, outside, Hackett was searching the rooms one by one with a group of bodyguards. Although he had known that Valeria's phone was nearby, he could not be sure which room she was in "Mr. James! We are getting closer and closer to the phone, which seems to be in one of these rooms!"

Chapter 39

Suddenly, a bodyguard came over with a tablet computer. It showed that they were getting closer and closer to Valeria's phone, more than ten meters away.

Valeria should be in one of the two rooms in front of them right now.

Hackett looked at the two doors before him. After hesitating for a moment, he kicked open the door on the left.

The next second, he saw Valeria with her hands and feet tied. There was a red and swollen palm mark on her cheek.

The kidnapper standing beside her was dumbfounded when he saw Hackett. He couldn't react for a long time.

Even Valeria was stunned. She thought she was hallucinating.

Did he really come to save her within a few minutes?

Was she dreaming?

"Hackett James... She couldn't help but call out to Hackett.

Hackett was furious when he saw Valeria's current appearance. He rushed over and kicked the kidnapper off.

Then, a few bodyguards quickly came in and stepped on the kidnapper, making him unable to move. The kidnapper let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered. "Ah! You're that Hackett James, aren't you?" Before the kidnapper could realize who this man was, he was pressed onto the carpet and could not get up. Hackett ignored him and walked straight to Valeria. He untied her and comforted her in a low voice, "All right. It's all right. now. I'll take you out of here." Valeria looked at the man in front of him in a daze and let him untie her.

Hackett finally saw the palm mark on her cheek and looked extremely unhappy.

Ti ning around and walking to the kidnapper on the ground, Hackett stepped on his arm and shouted angrily, "I told you not to touch her!!"

There was a cracking sound. The kidnapper screamed again when he heard his bones crack.

Valeria was shocked.

She had always known that Hackett had a bad temper, but she had never seen Hackett hit a person so ruthlessly.

Hackett held Valeria's hand and looked at the bodyguards. TII leave this matter to you. Remember, the money will be yours. if you can get it back."

He would not give the money to these scumbags.

""Mr. James, don't worry. Leave this to us."

Then, Hackett took off his jacket and put it on Valeria before leading her out of the room.

This was indeed a nightclub. The noise made her ears hurt.

Hackett pulled her all the way out of the nightclub and escorted her into the front passenger seat of the car.

He was about to drive away when Valeria suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Wait! I want to go back and get my phone!"

Chapter 39

Then, she was about to open the door and get out of the car.

Hackett grabbed her wrist. "Are you crazy? Why are you going back? It's just a phone. Is it that important?"

Hackett could not understand Valeria. She had just been freed from her kidnappers. If it were any other woman, the woman would have been sobbing uncontrollably. However, Valeria did want to go back for a lousy phone! Was she asking for a beating? Valeria struggled. "No, I have something urgent to attend to. I have to call my baby to tell him that I'm safe. He must have been worried about me....

Suddenly, she realized that she had let it slip. She quickly covered her mouth, looking flustered.

Hackett frowned. "Baby? What baby?"

Valeria wanted to slap herself right now. How could she forget that the man in front of her was Hackett? How could she forget that he was her son's biological father?

"Speak! What baby? Which baby? Hackett asked forcefully as he stared into Valeria's eyes

Valeria's heart was about to jump out of her chest. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating

"It's... It's Keith Cooper's baby..."

On a sudden inspiration, she suddenly remembered that Keith was carrying Alex in the restaurant last time. Keith Cooper!

Keith Cooper again!

The fi thing she wanted to do after the kidnapping was call Keith Cooper's son to tell him that she was safe!

Was she going to be a stepmother just like that? Did she want to marry Keith Cooper so badly?

Hackett suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He let out a self-deprecating sneer and let go of her hand.

"Valeria, how ruthless you are! I worked so hard to get you out, but all you are thinking about now is to tell Keith Cooper's son that you're safe! Have you already thought of yourself as Keith Cooper's wife? You aborted your own child, and now you're going to be someone else's child's stepmother! You're really something! Get away! Get away!"

For the first time in his life, Hackett felt sad. This feeling was indescribable. He felt suffocated, angry, and heartbroken.

"Hackett James, L..." She wanted to give an explanation, but she didn't know how.

"Get out of my face! I don't want to see you again!" Hackett looked straight ahead and roared angrily.

Her heart skipped a beat. She was shocked to hear this, and she even felt a little uncomfortable.

Valeria was silent for a few seconds. She could only push open the car door and get out. Then, Hackett stepped on the accelerator without hesitation and sped away,

This was good, too. They would not disturb each other, and she would not have to worry that Hackett would discover Alex's

existence.
