"Why aren't you pretending not to recognize me anymore? If you keep pretending, I might actually believe that you have amnesia, Hackett said, watching Valeria struggle, feeling an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
"You bastard! Scoundrell After getting divorced, we should have nothing to do with each other! Even if we see each other, we should pretend not to know each other! Don't you understand this common sense?" Valeria looked at the shameless man in front of her. His perfectly chiseled features and jawline seemed even more attractive than before.
Hackett carefully observed the woman's face, which seemed different from four years ago. She had delicate and elegant makeup, and her snow-white skin looked fragile. Her lips, opening and closing, appeared incredibly sexy. During those four years, he had never paid close attention to Valeria's appearance. He rarely came home.
Taking advantage of Hackett's distraction, Valeria pushed him away. "Don't touch me! You have no right to do that!"
Hackett raised an eyebrow slightly, and for some reason, the phrase "no right made him inexplicably angry.
"I have no right, but that sleazy old bastard does? You didn't want a penny from the divorce, claiming my money was dirty, but now you don't find it dirty to seduce those old men?" When the lawyer told him that Valeria didn't want a penny, claiming his money was dirty, he didn't eat for a whole day out of anger.
Seduce?
This word was too harsh!
"It's none of your damn business!"
Valeria looked at Hackett's perfect appearance and couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. "Such a waste!" she yelled inwardly. "He is just a typical scumbag!"
Hackett sneered. "Why is it none of my business? After all, you were once my woman. Why did your taste deteriorate so much after the divorce? Hanging out with those sleazy old men "You goddamn....
"Valeria, I'm warning you. If I see you hanging out with those old men again, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"
Valeria couldn't help but laugh in anger. "How impolite can you be to me?"
They were already divorced, with no relationship left. What could he do to her? Unexpectedly, Hackett said coldly. "I will relocate your mother's grave, I guess." "What?"
Valeria was shocked and angrily exclaimed. "Hackett, you're a lunatic!"
How could he come up with such a cruel method? He was simply inhumane!
After saying that, she wanted to slap him, but Hackett quickly intercepted her, saying, "Looks like you've understood what's going on right now. Don't make me angry. Those who make me angry will live in pain for the rest of their lives" "Damn your" Valeria pulled her wrist back.

Hackett said, "Go
thinking about the tomorrow to meet my grandfather and explain that we divorced amicably so he won't keep
"I'm not going!" Valeria exclaimed.
"Meet me at the old mansion tomorrow night. You'll face severe consequences if I don't see you there." Hackett turned around and left without paying any attention to her refusal.
Valeria watched his indifferent figure and felt the urge to bite him. He had gone too far this time!
At that moment, a man who looked like a bodyguard walked toward Valeria. "Ms. Sharp, let me take you home."
"Who are you? I don't know you, and I don't need your help."

Valeria was about to open the car door when the bodyguard stopped her and said earnestly, "I am here to protect you on behalf of Mr. James until you safely arrive at the James family's old mansion tomorrow night." Valeria was stunned.
Hackett was indeed a cunning and sly man!
It seemed like she couldn't escape meeting Barron tomorrow, But she knew she couldn't let the bodyguard take her home now, or else Hackett would soon discover her child's existence
Valeria dialed Jepson's number, intentionally taking a few steps away to have some privacy. The call was quickly answered.
"Hello?" Jepson's voice came through the phone. Valeria asked. "Jepson, can you please take care of my son tonight? I might not be able to make it back. I'm counting on you." "Would you mind if I bring your son to my place for the night?"
"That's fine, as long as you stay with him. He's well-behaved. He'll go to sleep obediently after drinking his milk."
Hackett returned to his car and saw Valeria finish her call before she obediently got into the car with the bodyguard. Only then did Hackett feel completely relieved.
Meanwhile, Cheryl, who had been sitting in the passenger seat the whole time, witnessed the entire process and was consumed by jealousy.
Cheryl had intentionally fallen into the pool earlier, thinking it would attract Hackett's attention. But she didn't expect him to follow Valeria to the parking lot.
Cheryl, with a pitiful look on her face, wrapped in a towel, feigned a teary voice. "Hackett, are you trying to win back your ex-wife again? Have you forgotten the night of the celebration four years ago? I even gave you my first time, and you promised to take responsibility for me. You also promised my brother before he passed away..."
Hackett pinched the bridge of his nose with his slender fingers, appearing somewhat irritated.
"Don't overthink it, and don't keep reminding me of that night, know, and I will take responsibility for you," he said.
This was why four years ago, when Valeria claimed to be pregnant and that they had slept together on the night of the relebration, he unhesitatingly denied it. That day, when he woke up in the morning, he saw Cheryl lying next to him, naked, and there were even crimson blood stains on the pristine white bedsheet.
At that momem, he was dumbfounded.
Cheryl was Abbot Yeats's sister, Abbot was Hackett's most trusted bodyguard, who had died a gruesome death while protecting Hackett.

Before Abbot's death, he had begged Hackett to take care of his sister.
Therefore, although Hackett had no feelings for Cheryl, he still

Cheryl looked at the impatience on Hackett's handsome face and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Hackett. I was just too afraid of losing you... "I'll take you home. Hackett started the car and left.
Cheryl wanted to spend more time with him, but seeing his indifferent expression, she decided to leave it for another time.
The next evening
The whole day, Valeria had been shadowed by the bodyguard sent by Hackett until he escorted her to the old mansion. He was truly loyal.
Valeria reluctantly got out of the car and saw Hackett waiting for her outside the mansion.
"Mr. James, Ms. Sharp has arrived."
Hackett responded indifferently, "Hmm, you can go now. I'll send her back later."
Yes, sir."
As the bodyguard walked away, Valeria jurned around, intending to leave. Unexpectedly, Hackett grabbed her delicate wrist. Valeria Sharp, do you think you can escape? Go and meet my grandfather obediently!" "Let go of me! I can go by myself!"
She struggled to retrieve her hand, but Hackett firmly held ontot. "During your time at the James family, my grandfather has always cared for you. Can you bear to keep making him sad? He's been hospitalized several times because he's been too worried about you. Don't you want to go and see him?"
T
Valeria was speechless.
In the James family, the one who treated her the best was Barron. She did feel guilty for leaving without saying goodbye to him back then. It might be a good opportunity to explain everything now.
"Let's go in. Grandpa is getting old, and we shouldn't let him worry about us anymore." Hackett pulled Valeria inside the mansion gate.
