Chapter 331
Valeria looked at the speechless man and the table full of dishes. She had lost her appetite.
Valeria already knew why Kaden was here. It was because he did not want her to return to the Maddox family. He did not want Valeria to snatch away the love that belonged solely to Elsie
"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm leaving. You can eat this table of dishes. Don't waste it."
Valeria picked up her bag and was about to leave when Kaden grabbed her wrist.
Valeria looked at the man's hand in disgust, and Kaden subconsciously let go. "I'm sorry. Ms. Sharp, don't leave yet. I still have something to say."
"Go ahead. I'm in a hurry." Valeria glanced at the time on her watch and pretended to be very busy.
Kaden picked up the cup and took a sip. Valeria's aura was quite strong. She really did not look like she had grown up in a poor family.
"Ms. Sharp..."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Did Elsie send you to me?"
Valeria/interrupted the man again. She couldn't bear to see a man dawdle. Perhaps she was used to Hackett's swift and straightforward speech.
Kaden mustered his courage. "Ms. Sharp, do you dislike your sister?"
"Where did you get that from? When did I show that I dislike her?"
"I can feel that you are not very passionate about your sister, Elsie." Kaden decided to let it go. He had to pass anyway. Otherwise, Elsie would not believe him.
this stage
Now that Kaden had come this far, and Clayton had already agreed, all his efforts would be in vain if he was dumped by Elsie.
Valeria smiled without saying anything. She picked up the cup and took a sip. She slowly sard, "You are right. I don't like her very much. What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush here." "Ms. Sharp, can you not return to the Maddox family?"
As soon as Kaden said this, Valeria was stunned for a moment before she smiled. "What's the reason? And Sir, aren't you meddling too much? Do you think you're one of the Maddox family now? Is it your business whether I return to the Maddox family or not?" Kaden overestimated himself. Who did he think he was?
"Because I love Elsie and I don't want her to be unhappy, so..."
"So you're telling me not to return to the Maddox family? What kind of logic is that? It's fine that you spoil her, but why should I spoil her? Kaden, wake up."
Valeria really couldn't sit still anymore. It was as if she was talking to a lunatic.
Valeria got up to pay the bill and left. Kaden sat at the dining table and suddenly let out a strange laugh as he watched her leave. He said in a low voice. "I've already persuaded you nicely. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
In James Group, Hackett was sitting at his desk, signing documents.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
Without looking up, Hackett said, "Come in."
Therefore, Tyler walked into the office and sat on the chair opposite Hackett, waiting for him to finish his work before reporting the situation.
Hackett signed and said, "Just say it."
Only then did Tyler sit up straight. "It's like this. I've been investigating for the past few days. It wasn't easy to find out so little information. The Maddox family's servants have been changed several times, and so have the butlers. I've found the old butler of the Maddox family who retired a few years ago."
The man stopped writing and looked up at Tyler, waiting for him to continue. Hackett had to listen carefully.
"The old butler said that when Ms. Elena was lost, Elsie was also lost. The whole family went out to look for the children. In the end, Elsie came back on her own, but Ms. Elena was lost. Later on, Elsie let it slip once and told the butler that she asked Ms. Elena to take her out. Then, she ran back on her own without caring about Ms. Elena."
Hackett leaned back in his chair and narrowed his eyes. How could she so young be so vicious?
Tyler leaned on the desk and said, "Elsie acted a little abnormally at the dinner table that day, right? She doesn't seem to want Ms. Sharp to return to the Maddox family at all. She's afraid of Ms. Sharp snatching away her exclusive love."
""Is the information reliable?"
"It should be reliable. This butler has been working in the Maddox family for many years. He said that he watched the two children grow up. As for Elsie, she has been spoiled and unreasonable since she was young. She always complained that her parents were biased toward her sister. As for Elena, she was timid and cowardly. Therefore, every time she was framed by Elsie, she did not know how to retort. This is quite in line with Ms. Sharp's character when she was in a secret marriage with you. She was indeed quite timid and afraid of trouble at that time."
So, Valeria decided to return to the Maddox family because she wanted to see Elsie cry?
If that was the case, Elsie must have had something to do with the loss of Valeria. But could a little girl really be so vicious?
"Mr. James, what are you thinking about?" Tyler could not help but ask when he saw that Hackett did not speak for a long time.
Hackett said, "I'm thinking that Elsie was just a few years old back then. Is she really that vicious?"
"Mr. James, some children have a naturally wicked disposition. They require upbringing to correct it, and even then, it's not guaranteed to be successful. Regarding Elsie's character, I don't find it surprising that she could do such a thing. After the Maddox family found Ms. Sharp, the whole Maddox family was overjoyed, and everyone celebrated enthusiastically, except for Elsie, who had a long face." The man sat up straight. "Help me ask Elsie out. I want to talk to her."
"If you question her now, she definitely won't admit it. She might say that she forgot what she had done when she was young. After all, she was so young back then," Tyler said disapprovingly.
Hackett said coldly, "Just go if I tell you to. Don't talk nonsense."
""Alright, got it."
In the evening. Tyler came to the Maddox family to pick up Elsie. Elsie was surprised.
"You came to pick me up to see Hackett? Why?" Ever since her sister was found, Hackett had never bothered with Elsie again. Why did Hackett suddenly think of looking for Elsie? 00.94% #
"You'll know when you get there. Mr. James is waiting for you over there."
Tyler only conveyed the message truthfully.
Even though Elsie was suspicious, she still got into Tyler's car. She wanted to know why Hackett was looking for her.
Tyler drove Elsie to a seaside villa. What was this place? She had never been here before.
The car slowly stopped in front of a villa. Tyler got out of the car and opened the door for Elsie. "Ms. Maddox, please."
"Where are we?" Elsie asked.
"Oh, this is a property of Mr. James. He rarely stays here, but when he's physically and mentally exhausted, he comes here for a few days to appreciate the seaside scenery or something."
Elsie was stunned for a moment. She got out of the car and looked at the villa in front of her. It was built in a strange way. She could not help but want to go in and see what the inside looked like.
