Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Valeria drove to the cinema where Ella and Alex were and waited outside.

The movie would end after ten minutes. Valeria was a little thirsty, so she wanted to buy a bottle of water from the vending machine not far away.

She opened the car door and walked to the vending machine. After scanning the QR code with her smartphone, she waited for the water to be dispensed.

Just then, several young ladies passed by her. They first stared at her strangely before whispering to each other.

"Is this the woman who disfigured Cheryl? She looks like the woman in the video."

"Right, it seems to be her. She looks just like the woman in the surveillance footage."

Soon, there were more and more onlookers gathering behind Valeria and discussing animatedly.

Valeria had just unscrewed the cap and taken a sip of the water when she realized that a large group of people, men and women, old and young, had gathered behind her. Those who had no idea what was going on might think that there were celebrities shooting a film there.

Valeria turned around and looked at those people with a quizzical expression, but she couldn't hear what they were discussing clearly. So she felt rather baffled.

Just as she was about to walk away, a middle-aged woman suddenly stopped her. "Hey, are you the woman who disfigured Cheryl? I can't imagine a young girl like you can be so ruthless. Beauty is so important for a female star. Is it worth it to do that just for a man?" Valeria's lips parted in silent surprise.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

In the age of information technology, after the surveillance footage was released online, almost everyone in the country could see it through their phones. People even recognized her when she was walking on the streets.

Valeria did not answer. It was useless to say anything in such a situation. She walked towards her car, trying to leave as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, she found herself surrounded by crowds of people and she could not make her way out at all.

"It's her! She looks exactly like the woman in the surveillance footage!"

"We must condemn this kind of person and let her be punished by the law. Otherwise, such things will happen more often in the future!" "How shameless. She's willing to do anything for a man. I heard that she's a lawyer."

"That means she is good at exploiting legal loopholes. If she manages to get away this time, she may commit more serious acts in the future." The hubbub made Valeria feel as though her head was about to explode.

Perhaps she shouldn't have gone out these few days. Instead, she should have hidden at home and waited for evidence to prove her innocence. When she was in the hospital, Hackett could protect her. But he was unlikely to come to her rescue at that moment. Therefore, she could only rely on herself. Suddenly, Valeria pointed in a direction and shouted, "The police are here!"

"It's useless! It's impossible-No technology can repair it fully! Which man would want me like this? What about the rest of my life? Valeria ruined the second half of my life. I only spoke the truth to let the public know, and you stopped me in any way you could. You can't tell right from wrong. You're too biased Hackett, I'm so disappointed in you!"

Cheryl hung up on Hackett.

Hackett looked at the disconnected call and could not help but laugh. His laughter was filled with sorrow as he repeated the word, "Biased..."

"Who am I biased towards?" Hackett wondered

Valeria felt that he was biased toward Cheryl, while Cheryl felt that he was biased toward Valeria.

When Valeria returned home, she found that the villa was empty.

"That's strange. Why aren't Ella and Alex at home?" Valeria wondered. Valeria had told Ella to stay at home to prevent her abusive husband from finding trouble with her, so Valeria was concerned about why Ella was not there. "Ella? Alex? Where did you guys go?"

Valeria called loudly around the house but could not find the two of them.

Valeria sat on the sofa and called Ella. The call was quickly answered. "Ella, where did you go? Didn't I tell you to stay at home?"

"Valeria, I was watching a movie with Alex. Alex kept saying that he wanted to watch it and that all the other children had already seen it."

"Oh, I see. Then I'll come pick you both up. Which movie theater are you at?" Valeria looked at the time. It was better to pick them up personally. Otherwise, she would be wor
