It was late at night. The meeting lasted for three hours and Hackett finally walked out of the conference room
"Hackett, you need to keep an eye on this project personally, or your aunt might take action." "Yes, I know."
Clayton walked out with Hackett, but he did not expect to find his daughter waiting outside the conference room. "Else, why are you here, waiting for Hacken!"
Hackett also stopped in his tracks, observing Else's nervous demeanor. There was no need to ask. She was undoubtedly worried that he might take action against Kaden
"I'm waiting for him. Dad. You can go back first. We still need to try on the wedding attire. If we don't do it now, we have much time left then Elsie aid.
Clayton nodded. "Alright. I'll take my leave first. You two go try on the outfit. Come home early to rest when everyt done" With that. Clayton left. Hackett and Elsie were the only ones left standing here. The man did not spare her a glance and headed straight for the
other elevator.
Elsie followed him. "If I have caused any trouble for your ex-wife or misunderstandings between the two of you. I can explain it to her. I really did not mean to. Please don't make things difficult for Kaden. He's already living a hard life in that place
"You underestimate people like them. A linle hardship now is nothing compared to the wealth and glory they seek in the future. The man sneered.
"Don't always assume the worst about others. Kaden is not that kind of person. He likes me Elsie still bebeved that Kaden genuinely loved her.
Hackett could not be bothered to argue with her anymore. She had nothing to do with him after:
With a ding, the elevator door slowly opened and the man walked into the elevator. "You don't have to block me anymore. I'm not in the mood to do anything to your man, but I'm warning you again. Don't provoke my ex-wife again. I don't need you to be a busybody. Please take a detour when you see her in the future and don't disturb her peaceful life."
With that, he pressed the button to close the door. The elevator door shut before Elsie could say a word.
Did it mean that Hackett would not take any action against Kaden? Phew. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in the office. Hackett sat in his office chair, but he could not lean back because his back was covered in wounds. He propped his right arm on the table, slightly pinched his brow, and closed his eyes wearily. He wanted to sleep, but there was too much to do, and he did not have time to rest.
Suddenly, he remembered that before Valeria entered the office, he had not opened and read that email. A simulated portrait of Elena Maddox, another daughter of the Maddox family, twenty years later.
So, he opened his eyes, gently moved the mouse, and the computer screen slowly lit up. He clicked on the webpage and saw that the simulated image of Elena had finished downloading. He clicked to open it
At that moment, he was slightly surprised. This Hackett's dark eyes displayed a mix of shock and astonishment. Why did this simulated image of Elena look so familiar, especially like someone..
Hackett immediately opened the drawer, took out a photo frame, and examined the photo inside carefully. In the photo. Elsie stood beside, smiling foolishly, while her sister Elena had a gentle cute smile. The two sisters looked nothing alike. To

be honest, even from childhood photos, it was clear that Elena was much prettier than Elsic.
How could this be.....

Hackett stared at the photo of the little girl for a long time. When he first saw the simulated image of Elena, he felt like she looked a lot like someone, very familiar, but he could not recall Who. Now, after seeing the simulated image twenty years later, he was stunned. Wasn't this image quite similar to Valeria?
Although it was not a hundred percent identical, there was at least a seventy to eighty percent resemblance between the simulated image and Valeria. Could it be possible that she was the Maddox family's lost eldest daughter for twenty years? Was that even possible? Wasn't Valeria's father Ben Darcy, the gambling addict? Moreover, her mother had never mentioned whether Valeria was her biological daughter.
Hackett stared at the simulated image on the computer screen. The facial features, expressions, and demeanor were very similar to Valeria's. He stared at it for a long time, and the more he looked, the more it resembled her, almost merging with Valeria's face. Hackett picked up his phone and dialed Tyler's number, and it was quickly answered
"Mr. Hackett, what can I do for you? I'm catching up on some sleep."
"Don't sleep yet. You need to wake up and help me with something right away"

"Mr. James, do you have no humanity left? I have not had a proper night's sleep in a you wait until I wake up?"
Hackett looked serious. "No, it must be done now, right away. It's very important."
"Alright, go ahead. I'm listening"
"Help me find Ben Darcy and bring him to me before daybreak
With that, he hung up the phone. He could already imagine how Tyler, on the other end of the phone, would complain and grumble as he got out of bed. But he could not care less at this point. He urgently wanted to know the truth.
If Valeria was indeed the lost eldest daughter of the Maddox family, it would be quite interesting...
Hackett stared at the computer screen, waiting for Tyler to bring Ben. It was already 2 o'clock in the morning, and dawn was not far off.
5 o'clock in the morning. There was a knock on the office door.
Hackett, who had been napping, instantly became alert and sat up straight. "Come in
The office door was pushed open, and Tyler came in with Ben. Ben looked frightened and timid, clearly afraid of Hackett.
"Hackett. I mean, Mr. James, what are you looking for me for? I have not done anything wrong recently. I have not even gone to see the boy. Why are you suddenly looking for me?"
Ben was afraid that Hackett was causing trouble for him. He had not dared to approach Hackett recently, fearing he might beaten up again. After losing Alex last time, he had been scared out of his wits. Later, when he learned that the boy had been found, he breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to pay a visit again.

Tyler looked visibly tired and slumped onto the sofa in the reception area, on the verge of falling asleep at any moment.
Hackett slowly got up and walked towards the gambler. Ben keperetreating, displaying a fearful expression. "Mr. James, what

exactly do you want from me? I admit my mistakes. I won't go see Valeria and the boy anymore. I really..."
Before Ben could finish his words, Hackett asked in a stern tone. Is Valeria your biological daughter!"

Ben hesitated for a moment. "What do you mean by that? Of course, she's my own daughter. If not, who else could she be?"
"Are you sured
"Of course! Otherwise, would her mother dare to cheat on me? That's impossible! Given her mother's character, she wouldn't dare to do such a thing. I'm the only one who can cheat on her!" Ben spoke with great confidence, believing that Valeria's mother would never dare to betray him.
Hackett felt disgusted by Ben's demeanor. What a scumbag
