In Cooper Law Office.
The reason why Valeria was in such a hurry to come back was that her despicable father had actually gone to her law office. How embarrassing!
Valeria walked angrily toward the office. When Jepson saw her return, he immediately stood up and walked toward her. "Valeria, is that old man really your father? How arrogant he is. He didn't say anything when he arrived at the law office and asked you to get out and see him. Otherwise, he won't leave today." "Alright, I know. I'll go deal with it."
Valeria was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Jepson. She entered the office directly, closed the door, and hung the "Do Not Disturb sign on the door handle.
Valeria walked into the office and immediately saw Ben sitting in her seat, going through her desk drawers.
"Who told you to rummage through my desk drawers? Get out now!"
Valeria was instantly furious. She really did not expect that after the kidnapping last time, her despicable father still dared to
come to her.
When Ben saw her return, he stood up, "How can you talk to me like that? I'm your father!"
"What right do you have to say that you are my father? Which father would team up with the kidnappers to kidnap his own daughter? Valeria did not even want to look at this scumbag. She wanted to vomit if she looked at him again.
Ben snorted coldly. "I haven't settled the score with you yet. Why did you divorce Hackett? Last time, Hackett saved you and even asked for the money back. How could those people let me off? Now that my wife and my son have been captured, who else can I look for if not you?"
"Find whoever you want! I missed the part where that's my problem!"
"Valeria, are you really going to leave us in the lurch? I'm begging you, okay? Give me a sum of money. I promise I won't gamble again. I'll live a good life with my wife and never disturb you again."
Ben knelt in front of Valeria with a pitiful look
Huh!
The words of a gambler could not be trusted, especially by a scoundrel who liked to kneel at the drop of a hat.
"Ben, I don't have money. Besides, I won't give it to you even if have money. Get lost. Don't ever let me see you again!
Valeria wished she could cut her despicable father into pieces. How could she give him money? Dream on!
"Then can't you ask Hackett for some? I think he still cares about you. What's wrong with asking him for some money? Even if he sees that you gave birth to a son for him, he will still give you some!" Ben grabbed Valeria's wrist.
Valeria's eyes widened in shock. She turned around and looked at Ben. "Who told you that I gave birth to his child? Who said that?"
Hearing Ben's words, Valeria was completely flustered
Ben actually knew of Alex's existence?
Sat, Nov
"I saw it with my own eyes. The last time those people kidnapped you, they followed you for the entire morning and saw you carrying a child into a living quarter. Isn't that child yours and Hackett's? Valeria, I'm begging you. Go and ask Hackett for some money. He will definitely give it to you on account of the child"
Valeria was a little devastated. After she returned, she hid Alex well, but she did not expect Ben to find out.
Valeria denied it. "That's not Hackett's child. I didn't give birth to his child."
"Don't lie to me. That child looks like he's only about three years old. Counting the days, if he's not Hackett's child, who is he! Don't I know you well? You would never betray Hackett."
Ben insisted that with his time calculations and understanding of Valeria, the child was definitely Hackett's.
"I said it's not his child. Valeria didn't bother to waste her time on Ben.
Unexpectedly, Ben stood up. "Alright, if you don't want to look for Hackett, I'll go myself. I'll borrow money from him as his son's grandfather. I don't believe he won't give me money."
"Ben, stop right there! You're not allowed to go! Valeria immediately shouted.
Ben turned around and looked at Valeria's agitated expression. "Why didn't you let him go? You look so anxious. Don't tell me Hackett doesn't know about the child's existence? Did you give birth to the child behind his back?"
""You're talking nonsense!"
"Then I insist on going. Hackett.
Valeria was so annoyed that she could not take it anymore. She sand angrily, "Alright! I'll give you money! Stop bothering me and the James family. Leave me some dignity! I'm divorced and have no right to disturb the James family! Is this reason enough?"
Upon hearing that Valeria was going to pay, Ben immediately smiled. "Alright, your dignity is important. Can't you just agree to pay me earlier? Do you think I like to go to the James family to beg them?"
Valeria's eyes were filled with frustration. If she could, she really hoped that Ben would disappear forever.
After sending Ben away, Valeria sat in her office in a daze, her mind in a mess.
Valeria was sure that Ben would keep coming to her for money in the future.
Valeria had to finish the cases on hand as soon as possible and then bring Alex overseas to settle down. This was the safest
way.
Suddenly, Valeria's phone rang.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Valeria picked up her phone and took a look. It was Hackett.
Valeria picked up the phone. "Hello..."
"Grandpa saw that you ate too little for lunch, so he packed a meal for you. The driver left it at the front desk for you. Remember to get i Valeria closed her eyes tiredly. "Help me thank Mr. Barron
"Okay"
After saying that, the man was about to hang up when Valeria suddenly asked, 'Hackett, did you really break up with Cheryl Sat, Nov
"Yeah."
Valeria couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, "You're indeed the rumored cold-blooded and heartless Mr. James. Four
ago, you did the same things to me. You didn't want me just like that. Now, you're doing this again. I really want to know if there's a woman in this world who can make you loyal to the end. Are all women the same to you? Do you want to throw them away like trash when you're tired of them?" The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds. "I've never loved Cheryl. Never. I'm responsible for her because I owe her. That's all
What did Hackett owe Cheryl?
"What do you owe her? For you to do so many things for her all these years?" Valeria didn't understand. She really didn't
"I owe her a life. Do you understand?"
A life?
What heavy words.
It seemed that there was a huge secret between Hackett and Cheryl.
"Have you paid off what you owe?"
"No, unless I give my life to her, I'll never be able to repay her. The man's voice on the phone was low and lonely.
Valeria suddenly calmed down. She asked again, "Then what are you going to do?
After asking, Valeria regretted it again. What did this have to do with her? Why did she care about this?
The man's self-deprecating chuckle came from the phone. "Let her hate me then. I can accept it."
