Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)
Resumption 76

Chapter 76

Seeing Hackett in such a rage, Cheryl said innocently, "Hackett, what happened to you? Are you okay? Maybe we saw it wrongly. That person might not be Valeria," "Who else could it be?" said Hackett. His tone was extremely nasty.

He took one last look at Valeria's gentle smile inside the window and stepped on the accelerator to drive off.

Valeria had never shown him such a gentle smile. Did she like being with Keith and his son so much?

Cheryl panicked when she saw Hackett's terrifying appearance. lackett," said Cheryl, clutching her seat belt. "Please drive slow. I'm scared...

At this moment, Hackett's mind was filled with the harmonious and blissful scene just now. He could not hear Cheryl at all.

Half an hour later, the car slowly stopped outside the living quarter.

Milo and Irina, Cheryl's uncle and aunt, were already waiting there. They had also moved from the slum to a high-end living quarter since Cheryl climbed the social ladder.

As soon as the car door opened, Milo and Irina came forward to welcome them with hypocritical expressions.

"Cheryl, be careful. You've just been discharged from the hospital. Don't hurt yourself." Milo helped Cheryl out of the car.

eager to get down on her knees for Cheryl as a stepping stone.

Irina was even more exaggerated. Sh

"Uncle Milo, I'm not that weak," said Cheryl. Of course, Cheryl knew what Milo and Irina were up to.

Hackett helped Cheryl carry her suitcase and returned her home together.

Hackett placed the suitcase in Cheryl's bedroom and turned to leave. "I'm leaving. You have a rest," said Hackett.

Unexpectedly, Cheryl closed the bedroom door and locked Milo and Irina outside.

Milo and Irina looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Why is Cheryl closing the door? We can help her persuade him"

Irina also wanted to help Cheryl win Hackett's heart. Otherwise, they wouldn't have any hope for the rest of their lives. After all, Cheryl relied on Hackett to survive in the entertainment industry.

Milo waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about it. Cheryl must have her reasons for doing this. Moreover, she wants to keep Mr. Hackett more than we do."

"You're right," said Irina with a nod.

In the bedroom at this moment.

Cheryl leaned against the door and said, "Hackett, I'm telling you clearly that I can't give up on you."

"That's your business. I've made myself clear. I can have any other relationship with you, but we can't develop feelings for each other." Hackett also had a cold expression as if he did not intend to compromise. Seeing his cold attitude, Cheryl panicked and said, "If you insist on doing this, you should leave me alone. What does my suicide have to do with you?"

"Don't do such a stupid thing again. I'm not controlling you but disciplining you on behalf of your brother. If your brother

had seen you like this, tho you think he would have cared about you or not?"

It was the first time Hackett had taken the initiative to mention Abbot after so many years. He was never willing to bring up Abbot.

Cheryl stood rooted to the ground and did not speak for a long me.

If Abbot had seen Cheryl slit her wrists for love, he would have definitely scolded her until she woke up.

Hackett opened the door and saw Milo and Irina leaning against the door, eavesdropping.

Milo and Irina laughed awkwardly.

"Well, Mr. James. Please stay for lunch. I had asked my wife to buy groceries. As long as you're here, Cheryl will definitely be good..."

Before Milo could finish his words, Hackett interrupted him mercilessly. "No, thanks. I still have something to do at the company. Keep an eye on her, and don't let her do those stupid things again." Then Hackett left without looking back.

Milo and Irfna quickly walked into the room and carefully observed Cheryl's expression.

"Cheryl, how is it? Do you win Mr. Hackett's heart?"

"That's right. Mr. Hackett looked very flustered when he came to the hospital yesterday. He must still have you in his heart."

Cheryl felt like her head was about to explode under Milo and Irina's constant questioning. She was so annoyed.

"Get out of here, both of you," bellowed Cheryl in a petulant tone. "I'm sick of It!"

After lunch, Valeria and Keith sent Alex to kindergarten together and then went to work at the law office.

"Valeria, I heard you got picked on by Jim at the pool party, didn't you? Please return the case to me if you feel it's awkward."

Keith, who was driving, spoke slowly.

Valeria was stunned for a moment. She immediately recalled when she went to the pool party to discuss work and was forced by Hackett... Just thinking about it made her angry. Moreover, Jim was purely a wastrel. After doing such a thing, he did not feel a sense of danger and relied on his power to do whatever he wanted.

"As it happens, I really can't communicate with Jim. I'll leave it to you. Besides, he has no respect for women at all. I don't understand why our law office wants to take his case."

Valeria wanted to stand on the side of justice. It was all right for her to defend the girl who had been molested, but she had a guilty conscience when she defended such a scumbag. The scenery outside the car window was retreating rapidly, and the wind ruffled her long hair.

Keith smiled and said, "Even criminals have the right to hire lawyers to defend themselves. You and I both know that."

Valeria remained silent.

Of course, she knew. But she felt sick to her stomach.

"Give it to me, please. You don't have to worry about the case anymore." Keith also saw the resistance in Valeria's heart and no longer forced her to accept the case. Chapter 76

Valeria nodded and felt much more relaxed.

After returning to the law office, they both returned to their respective offices to work.

However, Valeria froze on the spot as soon as she entered her office. The professional smile she had when she greeted her secretary froze.

A man sat with his back facing her on the sofa in the reception area. Just looking at his back like that, she felt tremendous

pressure.

"What are you doing here?"

Valeria regained her composure, closed the office door, and walked to the reception area.

Her office design style was originally very low-key. Now, it seems a bit oppressive due to the man's presence.

Hackett raised his head slightly and looked at her exquisite little face. He could not help but laugh self-deprecatingly and said, "You're so unhappy to see me but happy to be with another man. Am I a ghost? Why are you so afraid of me?" The thought of seeing the scene of Valeria dining in harmony with Keith and his son made Hackett envious uncontrollably.

"You came into my office just to taunt me? Do you have anything better to do? Is the James Group going bankrupt?"

Valeria's anger was also rising. Why was Hackett always so baffling and totally made her confused?

Seeing Valeria's attitude, Hackett was even more displeased. He suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"Ah! What are you doing? This isn't your territory but my office!"

Valeria was a little flustered because she knew Hackett's temper too well. He would do anything, no matter what occasion it was.
