Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 181

They headed toward the James Manor.

After arriving at the manor, Valeria realized that the manor was quite huge, It would take some time to find Alex here.

She was frustrated and asked, "Why do you need such a huge manor? It's difficult to even find a person. Don't tell me you have been to every corner of the manor." Hackett could hear the resentment in her tone, but he did not say anything and silently endured it.

Ernest, the butler of the James Manor, greeted him. "Mr. Hackett, what can I do for you?"

This was Hackett's territory, so it would be easier for him to give orders here. He instructed Ernest, "Search the entire inside and out. I am looking for someone." Ernest looked puzzled "May I ask who you are looking for?"

It was rather complicated to find someone in the manor, for there were many places that Ernest had never been to.

"Find Alex. Remember to check the surveillance footage.

Though filled with doubts, Ernest nodded in agreement. "Yes, I'll get it done. By the way, should I include a search of Lilylake Residence, where Mrs. James resides?" Yes!"

"Yes."

Then, Hackett and Valeria walked towards the surveillance room, planning to check the surveillance carefully.

ΠΑΠΟ

Valeria asked, "Do you think Alex is with your

mother? She doesn't seem to like Alex..."

If Alex was really hidden there, would he be abused....

Hackett slowly said, "Even if he's really hidden at her place, he should be safe. No matter how much she doesn't like him, he's still the James family's kid. She won't do anything to Alex." Hearing this, Valeria heaved a sigh of relief.

Thinking about his words, Valeria found them made sense. No matter what, Alex was the James family's kid. Mandy could not do anything to her own grandson, right?

Ernest also began to take action. Valeria and Hackett also arrived at the surveillance room and carefully checked the surveillance cameras, not letting go of any clues.

After more than an hour, Valeria pointed at the surveillance camera in the garden and exclaimed, "Here! This person looks very strange. It's summer now, but he's wearing a coat. Could there be a child hidden under it?

Valeria also felt that her imagination was very wild, but her intuition told her that this man in the coat was very strange. Tyler pressed the pause button and enlarged the screen, seeing a sneaky man wearing a coat in the hot weather. Hackett frowned slightly and asked, "Who is this person?

Tyler, who was checking the surveillance footage, carefully identified it and shook his head. "He doesn't seem to be our people, might be someone working for Mr. James..." Chapter 181

Hackett's expression changed drastically. "Find out where he weni

Tyler then followed the direction of the garden and pulled up the surveillance video along the way to see where the man in the coat was going.

Valeria's heart was pounding like crazy, and she was rather emotional, Soon, she would know where her son was hidden.

Ever since her son was kidnapped, Valeria had been traumatized. Although she knew that Alex was safe, she still panicked

After searching for a long time, Tyler finally found something, I found him. This man entered the secret room wearing a coat. After half an hour, he came out with his coat open. If I'm not wrong, there should be something hidden under his coat." he said. "Secret room?" Hackett frowned. Why didn't he know that there was a secret room in the manor?

Tyler replied, "Mr. James built that secret room before, and very few people have entered inside. I've never been there, so I don't know what it is like."

"I don't care what is inside the secret room. Let's go and take a look!"

Valeria only wanted to see her son now, worrying that her son might be crying alone.

Hackett turned around and followed behind her. Looking at her anxious back, he could not help but frown. Grandpa had indeed gone a little overboard this time. Thus, the three of them arrived at the location of the secret room that Barron had built.

Tyler only knew where the room was, but he did not know how to enter i

r inside.

"Mr. James. I only know that the door to the secret room is here but I don't know how to get in."

I

Hackett looked at the big tree in front of him. Could this be the entrance?

Little did he expect that his grandfather had such a hobby, constructing a secret chamber within the estate, and he had no idea why he had built this secret room

"Is this tree the entrance? How do we get in?" Valeria stepped closer to the tree, scrutinizing it from all angles. It appeared to be an ordinary tree, making it inconceivable that it could be the entrance to a secret chamber.

As Hackett looked at the tree in front of him, his memories were pulled back to when he was young, He seemed to have remembered something..

"I seem to remember this tree. Grandpa brought me here when I was young..."

However, he was too young at that time, and his memory was blurry. His grandfather seemed to have brought him into the

Valeria's eyes lit up. She turned around and looked at Hackett. "Really? So you know how to get in

"I think it's here..."

Hackett walked to the tree and touched the trunk. Finally, he found a button at the back of the tree. The was a dull sound of a stone being moved away. The three of them looked over at the same time. As expected, it was the exit of the secret rooni.

"It's here! This is the entrance!" Tyler said.

e next second, there

Hackett frowned and remembered that his grandfather had also brought him into the secret room when he was young.

Moreover, it seemed that he had stayed in the secret room for a few days before coming out,

"What kind of weird hobby does Grandpa have?" he thought.

Valeria eagerly walked in, followed by Hackett and Tyler.

After entering the secret room, the first thing they saw was a long corridor. The lights were dim, and the sinister aura was somewhat terrifying.

"Alex must be very scared to be locked up here. Why can't I hear anything? Valeria felt that this corridor was very long, and it seemed that there was no end. Finally, she saw a corner. Valeria smiled, walked over, and found door with a fingerprint lock.

"What should we do?" Valeria asked.

Tyler did not know what to do either. After all, if it was a fingerprint door lock, not anyone could enter the secret room.

Unexpectedly. Hackett arrived at the door and placed his fingerprint on the panel. Much to everyone's surprise, after a beep. the door opened automatically.

Valeria and Tyler had not expected his fingerprints to be able to unlock the door, for he had not even known the existence of this secret room

Hackett muttered to himself, "Grandpa brought me here when I was young. I didn't expect my fingerprints to still be there..." When he came in when he was young, his grandfather had saved his fingerprints in the system.

Upon entering the door, he discovered an interior resembling a small villa, complete with every amenity. The decor followed a Creyque style, exuding a dignified and grand atmosphere, perfectly in line with James' old-fashioned sense of aesthetics. Valeria saw a bedroom door ajar. At this moment, a nanny walked out with a milk bottle in her hand.

"Ah!" The nanny screamed when she saw the three of them suddenly barge in.

Valeria couldn't care less. When she saw the milk bottle in the nanny's hand, she knew that Alex was in the bedroom and walked straight inside.

As expected, she found Alex asleep on the bed inside, his little face still marked with unwiped tears. Moreover, the corners of his mouth drooped with a touch of sorrow.
