Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 259

"Dad, why is Hackett here too?" Elsic looked at her father.

Clayton furrowed his brows, Why was this brat causing trouble their family reunion?

The door was pushed open in less than a minute without even a knock.

Even though he knew the passcode, Hackett usually had the courtesy to ring the doorbell. But today, he came straight in

Valeria couldn't help but smirk inwardly. Was he in a hurry to come in and mediate, or was he afraid she would ruin his plan?

After all, the James family was about to successfully join the Maddox family. Once that happened, the James family would be invincible in the business world. How could Hackett let such a golden opportunity slip by? Valeria believed this "family reunion" was a plot by someone with ulterior motives to deceive the Maddox family, all to sabotage Elsie's engagement with Hackett.

As Hackett entered the living room and saw the scene before him, he furrowed his brows in displeasure,

This old fox actually brought his whole family to find Valeria.

"Mr. Maddox, aren't you a bit too impatient?" he said in a deep voice,

Hackett then walked up to Valeria and picked up Alex from her arms. He comforted Alex. "Alex, don't be scared. Daddy's here."

"Daddy, I don't want to see that annoying ugly lady. I really don't want to... Alex pointed at Elsie.

This child called her an ugly lady again!

Elsie was utterly furious!

"Hackett is this the well-mannered son you've raised? What kind of upbringing is this?"

Elsie couldn't bear to be called an ugly lady by Alex anymore. She had been cherished and beloved since childhood. But now, she was being called an ugly lady by a little brat. It was a blow to her self-esteem, and she couldn't take it. Hackett replied, "My son doesn't need strangers to teach him. You should mind your own business."

Both Clayton and Elsie were speechless.

This couple really spoke the same way.

Valeria couldn't help but glance at Hackett and say, "Hurry and get them

ut of here. Even if your engagement fails, what's that got to do with me? Why did they come to my place acting crazy so early in the morning? Do you know what they're saying? They're saying I'm Elsie's real sister, the eldest daughter of the Maddox family. It's utterly ridiculous" Everyone present fell into silence, including Hackett. They all knew the truth, except for Valeria.

Valeria continued. I don't know which enemy of yours concocted such an absurd reason. Yet, you actually believed it and came here to "reconcile" with me. Are you rich folks so easily fooled? I'm starting to doubt how you made your money." Fler tone was full of mockery and disdain. She didn't believe it. She didn't care to be recognized as a Maddox family's daughter.

Especially that Clayton, acting all high and mighty as if having him as a father was the greatest honor.

Chapter 259

Tsk...

She was not Interested!

Clayton didn't say a word. Instead, he looked at Hackett. At this moment, only Hackett could explain the truth.

Hackett held Alex in his arms and gently touched his small hand He slowly spoke, "What they said is true. You are indeed the daughter of the Maddox family. We have a paternity test as evidence." "What? What are you saying?"

Valeria immediately widened her eyes. She was utterly confused. She almost thought she had misheard. What on earth was going on?

Hackett gave her an affirming look and nodded. "You heard correctly. Your biological father isn't Ben. Mr. Maddox and Mrs. Maddox are your real parents. It may sound absurd, but the paternity test is genuine" After saying that, Clayton took the paternity test and placed it on the coffee table.

Valeria glanced at the paternity test on the table and was stunned for several seconds. Her mind couldn't process the information properly.

Receiving such a bombshell early in the morning was overwhelming.

She took a step forward and picked up the paternity test. Her fingertips were trembling slightly. Then, she quickly flipped through it

She couldn't understand the technical terms, so she turned to the last page. Then, she saw it written, The biological relationship between Valeria Sharp and Clayton Maddox is confirmed."

It was stamped with the seakof the testing agency.

This didn't t seem like a fake...

Valeria stared at the paternity test, then looked at Clayton, and then at Hackett. She had a barrage of questions but didn't know which one to ask first.

Then, she finally voiced out her doubt. "Is this paternity test real? Did you investigate it?"

Hackett replied, "No need to investigate. I had this paternity test done. Do you remember that incident at the hospital when you passed out? Actually, you didn't faint because of anemia. I had Tyler make you faint and collect a blood sample."

After hearing this, Valeria was furious. She threw the paternity test onto Hackett's chest. "Why did you do a paternity test without my consent? Who gave you the right? And why didn't you tell me beforehand, leaving me to be gawked at like a fool by them?" What on earth was happening?

Was she really the daughter of the Maddox family?

Hackett let her vent her frustrations, saying, "I'm sorry. I wanted to be sure before telling you. After all, I wasn't certain back

then

His calm demeanor quickly helped her regain her composure. She touched her head, feeling a tangled mess.

"First, get them to leave. I need some time alone to this. don't want to hear anything from them right now."

Alex watched his mommy like this and thought she was angry. He shouted at Elsie, "Ugly lady, leave our house. I don't like you!" 08:23 Mon, Nov 18 G

Hackett looked at his som Alex, don't talk like that"

"Don't lecture my son!" Valeria's emotions instantly shattered, and she yelled at Hackett.

Hackett didn't respond, but instead, he looked at Clayton. "Mr. Maddox, you and your family should go back first. I'll talk to her. This is a significant matter. We have to give her some time to calm down"

Clayton wanted to say something more, but Loretta held her husband back. "Hackett is right. Give Elena some time. Let's go first. Honey, let's go back. Elsie, we'll leave first"

Clayton looked deeply at Valeria before leaving, and Elsie followed.

Loretta was now alone and approached Valeria. She wanted to get a closer look at her daughter, to see how she had grown all

these years.

The closer she got to Valeria, the more tearful Loretta became.

"You've grown so big. Thank goodness you're still alive. All these years, your father and I have been searching for you. even thought you might....not be in this world anymore. It's so good to see you standing here, alive." We

Valeria looked at Loretta, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Could Loretta really be her biological mother?

Even though there was a paternity test, she still found it hard to believe.

Loretta continued, T'm so sorry, my dear. It was my fault that I lost you. If I had been a bit more careful, you wouldn't have gone missing, and you wouldn't have to look at me with those unfamiliar eyes..." SEND GIFT
