Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Alex also noticed that something was wrong with her and asked Mommy, what are you looking at? You haven't told me where we're going.

"No, nothing. You'll know when we arrive, alright! Are you thirsty Mommy will buy you a bottle of water."

"Mommy, I want some juice.

Valeria nodded. "Alright, I'll go get some for you."

As she spoke, she got up and walked towards the supermarket.

At one point, she worriedly glanced at Alex, who was sitting alone.

At the same time, Ella was at Hackett's mansion alone.

Tyler drove Hackett to River Valley.

The doorbell rang, and Ella, who was sitting at home, instantly stiffened. She could not help but swallow saliva.

She walked stiffly to the door. Her heart raced when she saw Hackett and Tyler standing at the door through the doorbell

camera.

Why did he come over so quickly....

Could it be that he sensed that Valeria was about to escape?

Ella tried to compose herself so that she didn't look guilty. Forcing a smile on her face, she was getting ready to open the door. Hackett, on the other side of the door, was growing impatient. He rang the doorbell again and again, his eyebrows knitting. Ella was so frightened that her body trembled. Then, she grabbed the door handle and opened the door, revealing a tense smile.

Outside the door, Hackett looked at Ella at the entrance and said in a deep voice, "Why did it take you so long?"

As he spoke, he walked straight into the house with Tyler behind.

Ella was a bit afraid of this man's powerful aura. However, for Valeria and the child to escape successfully, she went all out

"I was in the kitchen and didn't hear you... I'm sorry, Mr. James."

Hackett looked around the house but did not see Valeria and his son. "Where are Valeria and Alex? Are they not at home?" he turned to look at Ella and asked. question finally came.

Cold sweat broke out on Ella's head. Valeria had taught Ella how to answer Hackett's questions before she had left, but why couldn't she remember anything now?

Her voice stammered as she said, "Uh... oh yeah, Valeria took Alex out to see a movie. He wanted to watch a movie, and she just called to say they're dining out, so there's no need to prepare dinner for them."

Hackett did not seem to notice anything amiss, sitting on the sofa and taking out his phone to call Valeria.

However, he realized that her phone was switched off. It was impossible to reach out to her.

The man frowned and looked up at Ella. "Her phone is off? Doc she need to turn off her phone while watching a movie?

"Valeria said that Alex didn't like her to deal with work when the watch movies. When she watched movies with him before, she would always leave to answer the phone halfway. Alex was very upset every time, so she might have turned off his phone today." Ella Patel responded promptly, as Valeria had coached her to do.

Ella could not help but sigh. "Valeria knows her ex-hushand so well that she could even predict what questions he would ask," she thought.

However, Tyler noticed a detail and asked, "Are you nervous? Why are you sweating?"

Hackett also looked at the cold sweat on Ella's forehead. What did this mean? Was she lying? Did she do anything wrong?

He narrowed his eyes slightly and questioned Ella, "Did Valeria y when she would be back?"

Oh no...

Valeria had not told Ella how to answer this question, so she did not know what to say.

She stammered and finally replied, "Valeria did not tell me when she would be back, but we never know. If Alex doesn't want to go home, she will keep staying outside with him. The movie shouldn't be over yet. When the movie is over, she might turn on her phone. Mr. James, please wait."

Hackett began to sense that something was wrong. He picked up his phone and called Valeria again, but still, no one answered.

Wait...

As a lawyer, how could she turn off his phone just for a movie? Her phone should be on 24 hours every day, for she might receive important calls at any time.

Valeria had been a layer for years, so she should know this.

Her phone was switched off... What did that mean? Escape?

Hackett marrowed his eyes and called Cooper Law Office. Soon, someone answered him.

"Hello, this is Cooper Law Office. How may I help you?"

"May I ask if Ms. Sharp, Valeria Sharp, was in the office today!"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Sharp was not in the law office today, but I can give you her contact number. You can call her directly."

"No, thank you."All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Hackett scrutinized Ella throughout the phone call. She stood there, sweating nervously, her eyes shifting restlessly

After hanging up, Hackett looked at Ella. "Valeria didn't go to the law office today?"

Uh... she said she wanted to stay at home with Alex."

Hackett asked again, ‘Ella Patel, let me ask you again. Where did Valeria and Alex go?".

"She went to watch a movie. If you don't believe me, you can call her later and ask her yourself, Ella answered and picked up her phone to check the time, As she wondered if Valeria had boarded the flight yet, She felt that she couldn't hold on anymore.

As she spoke, beads of sweat appeared on her face....

Seeing the sweat rolling down her face, Hackett sneered "Your acting skills aren't good. Why are you acting with me here! She didn't go to the movie. She taught you to say these words, right? You're stalling for time here with me and then buying her time. Let me guess. She probably ran away with Alex?"

It seemed reasonable to think so.

Because his grandfather had gone overboard with her son, Valeria finally couldn't take it anymore. She was also afraid that Barron would take away Alex again, so she decided to escape with him.

Ella's eyes widened suddenly, realizing that Hackett had guessed the truth. She was on the verge of breaking down but couldn't admit it.

She needed to buy Valeria more time, silently urging. "Board the plane quickly! Board the plane!"

By the side. Tyler's expression also became serious. He was ready to leave the house and go to look for Valera.

"Valeria has become such a source of worry, taking the child and attempting to escape. She seems to forget that now that Mr. James knows about his son's existence, there is no way he will let the two of them slip through his grasp," Tyler thought.

Suddenly, Hackett stood up. His tall figure approached Ella as he said in a deep voice, "Where did she go? It's not too late for you to tell me now. I know that she has resentment and fear in her heart. I won't blame her, but she can't leave. It's safest for her to stay by my

side."

Ella looked at the man in front of her and did not know whether to tell him the truth or not. His eyes did show his sincerity. but....

No way!

She would never ever tell Hackett where were Valeria and Alex, for she also wanted them to leave this place.

"Mr. James, I seriously don't know. Valeria told him that she would go watch a movie with Alex. As for the rest, I don't know anything...

It seemed that he would not be able to get any useful information from this woman.

Hackett had no intention of wasting time there. He turned to Tyler Hughes and said, "Go check the surveillance cameras in the neighborhood. Also, head to the high-speed train station, the airport, and the harbor. Leave no stone unturned." "Yes!"

With that, the two them turned around and left the house.

When Ella heard the door close, her legs went weak. She fell to the floor, panting heavily.

She was almost scared to death...
