Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

a nodded timidly." was cleaning the staircase railing that day. I saw Mr. Barron enter your bedroom with my own eyes. Then, I went somewhere else. I didn't see what happened after that, but I heard Mr. Barron arguing with a woman. After that, Mr. Barron fell down the stairs. Now that I think about it, that woman sounded very young. I don't know if it was Ms. Sharp, but I did hear him arguing with a woman"

"Mr. Hackett, did you hear that? It's all true!" Ernest burst into tears. He could not help but cry when he thought of the fear and helplessness Barron must have felt when he was pushed down the stairs.

Hackett's expression became darker and darker. He stared at the maid called Laila and questioned, "Are you sure you heard Grandpa arguing with a woman? Do you remember what the argument was about!"

Laila began to recall the scene that day. After wiping the staircase railing, she had gone to wipe the vase. Although she didn't see who Barron was arguing with, she heard an argument.

"I vaguely heard Mr. Barron say something about letting Mr. Hackett know her true colors. Oh right, I also heard Mr. Barron say that he would never let that woman marry into the James family."

Hackett was even more confused when he heard these keywords. His grandfather had always liked Valèria. How was it possible that he said those words to Valeria?

Moreover, his grandfather really wanted him to remarry Valeria After that, his grandfather hid the child because he felt that there was no hope of Valeria and Hackett remarrying, so he wanted to take back the James family's bloodline. Hackett frowned. "Are you sure the woman's voice you heard was Valeria's?"

Laila shook her head, looking lost. "I can't be sure, Mr. Hackett. To be honest, I'm not too familiar with Ms. Sharp. I don't remember her voice either. I only know that Mr. Barron quarreled with a woman that day before he fell down the stairs When I found Mr. Barron, Ms. Sharp was beside him. That's all

Laila told Hackett all the useful information she could think of

Hackett only had one question now. Why didn't Laila volunteer this information at that time? He couldn't help but suspect that Laila had colluded with Ernest

"Answer whatever I ask you."

"Okay"

Hackett looked like he was interrogating a suspect. "Let me ask you, why didn't you say anything back then? Now, you're here as a witness. Don't you think it's too late? Grandpa has already been cremated." Laila was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

However, Ernest had a strong reaction. "Mr. Hackett, are you suspecting that I colluded with her and told her to make up stories? Mr. Hacken! In all honesty, I didn't! This is the truth, nothing more!"

"Ernest, don't be agitated. I know you don't mean any harm. I'm just a little curious why she didn't tell us earlier. It would have been easier for me to investigate back then."

Ernest wiped his tears away. feeling wronged. As the person Mr. Barron trusted the most when he was alive, he was suspected by Mr. 1Jackett.

Laila explained, "Mr. Hackett, I didn't dare to talk nonsense because I was afraid. It was a serious matter and I didn't see who it was, so I didn't want to wrongly accuse anyone. At that time, I was also frightened by the scene of Mr. Barron falling down the stairs. I had nightmares for many days, 1 kept trying to forge about it, but I couldn't. I only told Ernest when he came to ask us questions. I'm sorry..."

Hackett fell silent.

Ernest spoke up again. "Mr. Hackett, I really hope you can find out the real cause of Mr. Barron's death. The woman who quarreled with Mr. Barron is the key. She must have pushed Mr. Barron down. I suspect Ms. Sharp now, but I'm not very sure, so please investigate." Should he investigate?

Hackett was in a dilemma. He did not want to investigate, but he had no choice. He could not let his grandfather die without knowing why.

Who was his grandfather arguing with before he fell down the stairs? This woman was the key

However, all the clues they had right now pointed to Valeria.

That day. Valeria happened to be dissatisfied with his grandfather and wanted to talk to him. Before his grandfather fell down the stairs, he was arguing with a woman.

Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

Even so, he still believed that Valeria would not do such a thing, Valeria had always respected his grandfather.

"Mr. Hackett!" Ernest was a little disappointed when he saw Hackett's hesitation.

Hackett was a little frustrated. "Alright, I understand. I will investigate the cause of Grandpa's death and give you an explanation. I will make sure Grandpa knows so that he can rest in peace."

"Thank you, Mr. Hackett! Mr. Barron's death must not be that simple! We must find the woman who quarreled with him before he fell down the stairs!"

Ernest was gratified to receive such a response. At the very least proved that Barron was still very important to Hackett.

Hackett, who was supposed to work overtime in the office tonight, chose to return to the manor after seeing Ernest.

In the dark night, he strolled around the manor alone

He recalled every detail of his grandfather's life. It seemed that every time he saw his grandfather, he would be scolded by his grandfather. Now that no one was scolding him, he was not used to it. He looked at the lake in front of him and smiled.

He did not know if his grandfather was used to not scolding him now that he was in another world.

Laila's words rang in his ears again. She said that his grandfather had quarreled with a woman before he fell down the stairs.

Who was this woman?

Although Valeria was the main suspect, there was no conclusive evidence to prove that it was Valeria.

Hackett wanted to take a look at the crime scene again, but after taking a few steps, he realized that someone seemed to be following him.

Pretending not to notice, he continued to walk forward. The person also continued to follow him.

When Hackett reached the next corner, he deliberately stopped and hid to the side, preparing to catch the person red-handed.

As expected, the person continued to follow him. He suddenly stepped out, scaring the person into screaming.

D

Hackett finally saw who it was. It turned out to be Cheryl. Why was she still here?

"My mother has gone to the sanatorium. What are you still doing here?"

The last time he saw her, she said that she was taking care of his mother. Now that his mother was in the sanatorium, Cheryl was still here.

"... Hackett, I was a little worried about you, so I wanted to stay and take care of you, but you never came back."

Actually, she was afraid that Hackett would find out something. he found out that she was the one who pushed Barron down the stairs, he would definitely send her to prison.

Hackett said coldly, "Cheryl, don't tell me you still have fantasies about me. Let me tell you, even without Valeria, I wouldn't choose you. Don't you know that I'm getting engaged at the end of the month?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

He really did not want to be entangled with Cheryl anymore, even if he wanted to let her go on account of her brother Abbot

Cheryl's eyes widened. "You're getting engaged? To whom?"

""Elsie Maddox."

He did not hide this from Cheryl. Elsie was not an easy person to deal with. If Cheryl was this free, she could go and find trouble with Elsie.

In short, he did not want Cheryl to vent his hatred on Valenia and think of ways to take revenge on Valeria.
