Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Hackett left the Maddox family with a grim expression on his Lie. Just as he stepped out of the front gate, he heard Valeria's voice calling after him. ""Wait"

Hackett halted and turned around.

In fact, he had a pretty good idea of what Valeria wanted to talk him about.

Valeria approached Hackett and asked, "What did my father say to you just now?"

Hackett scrutinized Valeria's expression and inquired, "Before I answer that question, let me ask you one. Do you believe what Elsie said?"

Valeria was slightly stunned.

This man had learned to be preemptive, and even though she didn't believe Elsie's nonsense, she decided to play along and make things a bit more complicated for him.

"I do believe her. After all, it was Elsie's virginity, and she had no reason to lie. She was absolutely certain that the man last night was you, and she even provided some evidence, though it might not be conclusive. On the other hand, you can't seem to explain anything." After listening to Valeria, Hackett's dark eyes revealed a hint of disappointment. It seemed she believed Elsie too.

"I see," he said with a nod

Then, he turned to leave, but Valeria grabbed his arm. "So, what did my father say to you?"

"If you believe Elsie's nonsense, then it doesn't really matter what Clayton said,"

Hackett replied coolly before pulling his arm away from Valerias grasp and heading towards his parked car.

To be precise, he was starting to feel a bit angry.

It was one thing for everyone else not to believe him, but Valeria the woman he had married and had children with, should not have questioned his character and taste.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Did she really think he was the kind of man who would be interested in someone like Elsie?

Besides, even if he were, he wouldn't resort to such low tactics to take a woman's virginity.

Valeria could tell that Hackett was upset, and his tall figure was filled with anger.

She couldn't help but laugh but decided not to stop him. He could figure out the truth on his own.

Just as Valeria was about to turn and head back, she saw Elsie and Kaden emerging together. It seemed Elsie was seeing Kaden off.

Both of their faces darkened when they spotted Valeria.

Kaden, still playing his role, put on a look of shame and said to Elsie, "You should go back and rest. I'll head back first. Make sure you eat well and get some sleep. I'll talk to Mr. Maddox about moving the wedding plans forward as soon as possible, Don't worry. No one will ever find out about this. Never."

"Yes, thank you, Kaden, Elsie, now completely trusting Kaden, thanked him sincerely. She looked at Kaden with unwavering

devotion.

Kaden glanced at Valeria, snorted coldly, and then turned to leave.

Valeria was nearly amused to tears.

How was this any of her business? Wasn't it Elsie who brought this upon herself?

Elsie glared at Valeria with resentment and said coldly, "Are you satisfied now? Hackett has ruined my life! He took my virginity, and he doesn't even want to marry me. Both of you are so malicious. You took away the love of a mother and father that belonged to me, and he took my virginity..."

Elsie's words were cut off by Valeria, who said, "Hold on a minute You're talking as if we're as wicked as demons. Besides, how did I take away your mother's and father's love? Aren't we lith their biological children? If I hadn't been lost when I was a child, wouldn't I have enjoyed their love just like you? Or do you think that my childhood disappearance was your doing. and you're entitled to our parents' love all to yourself?"

"You're talking nonsense! I was only three or four years old at the time. How could I intentionally make you get lost? Valeria, you're being ridiculous!" Valeria had touched a sensitive nerve there.

Valeria smiled but didn't respond, heading back toward the Maddox's villa.

Elsie grabbed Valeria's wrist and said, "You better explain yourself! Are you planning to spread lies in front of Mom and Dad again? I warn you, they won't believe your nonsense!"

"Do you think they'll believe your nonsense either? Like when you claimed that Hackett asked you to go to a hotel and took your virginity? Do you think that sounds believable?" Valeria mimicked Elsie's tone from earlier, clearly infuriating her.

Elsie widened her eyes, furious. "Valeria! You've gone too far! Do you really think a woman would joke about something like this?"

"So, you think it's appropriate to brand Hackett as scum with just your words?*

"It's the truth. I'm not making false accusations. I never thought you'd trust your ex-husband so much."

Valeria sneered, "It's not about trust in him. It's about trusting his taste. With your style, he would never be interested."

With that, Valeria shot a disdainful glance from head to toe at Elsie before walking away.

Left standing there, Elsie lowered her head and looked at herself in disbelief. "What do you mean? My style? Why couldn't he be interested in me?"

Elsie felt insulted by Valeria's words. It was even more infuriating than Hackett's rejection.

"Well... how should I put it? When I and Hackett had that secret marriage before, he did bring women home, but those women were all fair-skinned, beautiful, with hot bodies, soft personalities, and sweet voices, completely different from you. So, you don't fit into his aesthetic world." Valeria explained with a mocking laugh and then left.

Elsie was left standing there, utterly dumbfounded, trying to picture the women Valeria had described.

Upon further thought, those women did seem to fit the description of bitches, didn't they? Did Hackett have a preference for those superficial, lacking-in-substance women? Late at night.

Valeria tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

So much had happened today, and her mind was in turmoil. Although she didn't believe Elsie's words, it seemed that Elsie had truly been violated.

So, who was the man from last night?

She didn't believe it was Hackett, but who would impersonate Hackett to violate Elie?

It had to be someone who knew the details and knew that Elsie had feelings for Hackett. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to lure her into a hotel room. Who was this man?

No one had suspected Kaden. After all, Kaden's superb acting had won over everyone today, and they believed his love for Elsie was genuine.

Valeria couldn't sleep and went to the terrace alone to get some fresh air.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She furrowed her brow, wondering who would be calling at this hour. She picked up her phone and saw that it was Hackett. Valeria hesitated for a moment and
