Chapter 96
Valeria waited for her to continue..
Cheryl took a few sips of coffee and slowly said, "Valeria, there seem to be some misunderstandings about me. Why don't you tell me? I want to defend myself too." What was this Cheryl up to?
"What do you mean? What misunderstanding do I have with you I don't understand what you're saying"
Cheryl held her coffee cup. Then she said in a probing tone, "Valeria, I can't figure out why you think I'm involved in Hackett's car accident. Did someone gossip to you?"
Oh...
So she was still brooding over her probing yesterday. Why was she so guilty? Wouldn't that prove that there was a problem?Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Valeria smiled. "Why do you care so much? I was just saying it as a joke."
"Valeria, please don't joke about such a serious thing! You don't have any evidence, so what right do you have to say that? This is an insult to my character! You're a lawyer, so you should know this is slander?" Cheryl realized that Valeria did not seem to have any evidence. It seemed she didn't know anything. She was probably being mean and spouting nonsense. She heaved a sigh of relief.
This abnormal behavior made Valeria even more certain of her guess and suspicion.
However... she still had to think of a way to install this bug on Cheryl's phone
Valeria noticed Cheryl's phone on the table. She quietly took out the paper-thin bug from her bag with one hand and picked up her coffee cup with the other, pretending to drink coffee. "Ms. Yeats, you don't have to be so agitated. I was just saying "
The next second, Valeria deliberately knocked over the cup while drinking coffee. The coffee flowed directly to Cheryl's phone.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose! Let me help you wipe it!"
Valeria immediately picked up Cheryl's phone and wiped the phone with a tissue. She took off the phone cover and took the opportunity to put the bug into the phone cover. Then, she put the phone cover on.
"I'm sorry. I didn't notice just now... Let me help you wipe it clean" She wiped her phone apologetically.
When Cheryl saw that she had taken off her phone cover, she looked unhappy and snatched her phone back. 'No need! I'll wipe it myself!"
She made it to put the bug in the phone case, so there shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Valeria watched as Cheryl picked up a tissue to wipe her phone carefully. She wiped a few times. She pretended to be embarrassed and smiled. "I'm so sorry. I didn't put the coffee cup away just now. If it's broken, I can take it to repair it or compensate you with a new one." Cheryl swiped the phone screen and took a look. There was nothing wrong with it. Because the coffee stains were quickly wiped away, they did not enter the phone
"No need. It's fine. The coffee didn't get into the phone."

At this moment, Cheryl's phone rang. It seemed to be a call that couldn't be answered in front of other people. She frowned and stood up. "I have something to do. I'll leave first. Let's talk another day." With that, Cheryl stood up, pickedup her bag, and left the private room.
Did she leave just like that?
Valeria felt baffled.
However, Cheryl was quite sensitive and seemed to have sensed her suspicion.
Who was the one who called just now! Cheryl looked very nervous.
Valeria immediately took out her phone and dialed Hackett's number. It rang for a few seconds before it was picked up.
It had to be said that this man picked up her call quite quickly. It was as if he was waiting there. He was probably quite bored when recuperating at home.
"What's wrong?" The man's sexy and deep voice sounded:
Valeria said, "Hurry up! I've installed the bug. Help me set up the permission to receive her calls simultaneously
"All right, give me a few minutes."
Then, the sound of a man walking could be heard from the other end of the phone. He seemed to be walking toward the study.
Valeria stopped urging him and waited patiently.
Then, she heard the sound of the man sitting in front of the desk, the click of the mouse, the tapping of the keyboard....
About two or three minutes later, Hackett picked up the phone on the table and said, "Alright, there's a call coming in from the phone you're eavesdropping on. You can monitor the contents of the call the entire time." "Okay, thanks."
Valeria was about to hang up when the man's voice sounded again. "You're planning to hang up just like that?"
"Then what else do you want? Have you had dinner? I haven't yet. Have dinner with me
"I... Alright, then wait for me at home."
She had wanted to refuse, but for the sake of Hackett having helped her install the bug, she decided to have a meal with him
"Really?" The man on the phone didn't seem to believe that she agreed so readily.
"I'll drive over now. Coincidentally, I'm hungry too. Didn't the butler say that you learned how to cook that day? Cook for me. tonight, I want to try your cooking."
Valeria picked up her bag, stood up, and walked out of the private room
Okay.
Hackett quickly hung up.
Valeria still found it strange. This man hung up on her so quickly? He was not usually like this...
At the same time, in the James family's manor, Hackett quickly walked out of the study and shouted, "Emest! Ernest!"

He took the elevator to the living room on the first floor. The buler rushed over when he heard the sound. "Mr. Hackett. what can I do for you?"
"Let them get the kitchen ready. I want to cook." The man walked toward the kitchen with his long legs.
The butler was dumbfounded. Hackett, depressed at home for the past few days, had become energetic again. Why did he suddenly want to cook?
The butler couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Hackett, is Ms. Sharp coming over?"
The man stopped and looked back at him. "How did you know? Did she call you?"
The butler was speechless. It turned out Valeria was indeed coming. Otherwise, why would he suddenly want to cook?
"I'll get them to prepare the ingredients now. Which dishes do you want to make?"
This question made Hackett fall into deep thought.
What did he mean by which dishes he wanted to make? He should have asked him which dishes he could make. He had almost forgotten what he had learned to make on his birthday.
"L.. Forget it. I'll communicate with the chefs. What was the use of telling the butler? The butler didn't know how to cook. Hackett went straight to the kitchen. The head chef and the other chefs were already standing in a row waiting for him. Almost all the chefs in the manor were the best in the country. They were even chefs who served as state banquets. There was no need to doubt their culinary skills. But when it came to teaching Hackett how to cook, it was difficult for these chefs "Come on, teach me to make two dishes. They must be delicious and not bad. Hackett looked at the fresh ingredients and suddenly felt a headache. He barely had any talent for cooking.
