207
Elsie went to her father's study and found her father talking on the phone.
She shouted directly. "Daddy! Are you crazy? You want me to marry him and become a stepmother!"
Clayton, who was standing with his back facing Elsie, was shocked and quickly hung up the phone. This woman was spoiled rotten and did not care about the occasion at all.
"Child, didn't you see that I was on the phone? Can't we talk later
As Clayton spoke, he placed his phone on the desk. He walked to the chair and sat down. However, he had already guessed what his precious daughter wanted to say,
Elsie put her hands on the desk angrily. "Dad! I don't want to be a stepmother! Not only is Hackett a divorced man, but he also has a three-year-old child! I would be a stepmother the moment I married him!"
Clayton, on the other hand, did not think that was a big deal. He leaned back in his chair and said unhurriedly. This is no big deal in the circle of the rich. You're my only daughter, after all. Can you not be so short-sighted? That's the James family we're talking about. What's so strange about him having an illegitimate child? Didn't you see the looks of the James family's heir? With his looks, would there be no women who would hook up with him? Even if it weren't for money's sake, women would still hit on him because of his looks. It's just a son with his ex-wife. Once you secure your position as the young mistress of the James family, what can the child do?"
"Dad, you are hopeless. Elsie felt that she could not communicate with her father at all. It was as if her father was possessed and insisted that she marry Hackett.
Elsie turned around and left in disappointment.
After walking out of the study, she slammed the door.
Elsie suddenly thought of an idea. She would visit Hackett's ex-wife. She would definitely be able to find out some information from her.
When she found out all of Hackett's shortcomings, her father would know that he was an unreliable man.
She picked up her phone and made a call. "Hello, help me find out who the ex-wife of the James family's heir is. I want to pay a visit."
River Valley.
"Valeria, why don't you cook dinner and invite Mr. James over? I noticed that he had lost a little weight these days. He must have been tired from the funeral matters, and now he is busy with the company matters. No matter what, he is Alex's father, Ella said. Valeria, who was sitting on the sofa and watching TV to pass the time, slowly raised her head.
Perhaps Hackett's cold attitude over the past few days was because his grandfather had just passed away, and he was not in
the mood.
When Hackett came over yesterday, he did look thinner. Valeria heard that Hackett's aunt had schemed to snatch all the shares owned by Barron Hackett probably had his hands full.
Yet, at this moment, she still dwelled on Hackett's attitude. That was indeed a little petty of her.
Valeria sat up straight. "Alright, then you go buy the groceries. I cook tonight and invite him over for a meal. I'll take it as creating parent-child time for him and Alex

Chapter 207
It was obvious that Alex was deliberately avoiding Hackett, so she had to think of a way to case the relationship between the father and son
"Alright, I'll go now, I'll pick up Alex from school on the way."
Ella changed her clothes and went out. Only Valeria was left at home.
She took out her phone and prepared to search for a few recipes to show off her skills tonight.
Hackett's grandfather had passed away, yet she was still thinking about Hackett's attitude issues. She really shouldn't have.
Valeria felt that she was being ridiculous and shook her head helplessly.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang
Valeria put down her phone and stood up to go to the door. Through the video doorbell, she saw a young lady standing outside. She did not know the girl.
Valeria did not open the door for a long time, and the girl continued to press the doorbell impatiently. No matter how one looked at it, the girl came with ill intentions.
Valeria quickly tried to recall. Could it be a client from one of the cases she handled? Why didn't she have any impression? She opened the door feeling strange. A girl who looked to be in her twenties stood outside. She was dressed in designer clothes and had the temperament of a wealthy socialite.
Hello, who are you?"
Elsie, standing outside the door, sized up Valeria, who was before her. Was this Hackett's ex-wife?
Based on the information she had gathered, Valéria was from a poor family and she had a father who was a gambling addict Elsie wondered why a man like Hackett would marry such an ordinary woman.
However, the woman before Elsie looked gentle and had exquisite facial features. She was also very... beautiful. As a woman, Elsie could not help but want to compliment her looks.
Valeria saw that Elsie was silent and asked again, "Miss, who are you?"
Elsie only snapped out of her thoughts after she heard that. "Oh, I'm Elsie Maddox. Hello, Ms. Sharp. I would like to ask you something. Is that okay?"
It turned out that the girl was here to talk business with her.
However, she had not been to the law office for many days. Why would Keith recommend her to a client?
was not the time to think about that. She smiled politely and made a gesture of
Valeria could not figure it out, but now w invitation. "Sure, come in and talk"
Elsie nodded and entered the house. She looked around. This house was worth a lot of matiey, especially since it was the biggest house in this district. Elsie wondered, "Is it so profitable to be a lawyer?"
Elsie could not help but wonder if Hackett had given this house to his ex-wife. After all, they had a three-year-old son.
"Ms. Maddox, what would you like to drink?" Valeria asked.
Elsie sat on the sofa and smiled. "I would have coffee, thank yOLL

Valeria smiled and walked into the kitchen. She felt that this Els was weird. How did she find her way here?
Keith didn't know this address either. This suddenly occurred to Valeria.
She made the coffee and brought it to the living room. She placed it in front of Elsie and asked tentatively, "Ms. Maddox, how did you know my address?" "Well, I naturally have my ways. You don't have to know, Ms. Sharp. Can we get to the point? I still have some matters to do after I'm done talking
Valeria said, "Coincidentally, I also have something to do. Let's talk about whatever you want."
Elsie thought for a moment. She had to conceal her identity. Who should she pretend to be?
"Well, I want to ask about the division of assets in a divorce."
It was another divorce case. Valeria couldn't help but complain in her heart. She had handled far too many divorce cases this year. Why was the divorce rate so high nowadays?
Valeria smiled and said, "Ms. Maddox, go ahead and ask. Which aspect do you want to ask about? I didn't expect you to be married at such a young age."
This girl looked like she had yet to graduate from university, but she was already on the brink of divorce.
Elsie smiled awkwardly and started rambling. "My husband is having an affair. I want a divorce. Ms. Sharp, I heard that you are also divorced and have a three-year-old son. How were the assets divided in your case back then?" Valeria was speechless.
