Only then did Valeria come back to her senses. "No, nothing. It's fine. I'm going back. It's getting late. I didn't go back for the entire night. I think Alex and the others will be very worried about me... As she spoke, she picked up her phone and glanced at it. There were a lot of missed calls from Ella. Ella was probably anxious because she didn't answer any calls last night. ith did not say i
and just looked at her quietly.
Valeria dialed Ella's number. Ella's worried voice came on the line.
"Valeria, where are you? Why didn't you answer my calls the entire night? Are you alright?"
"Sorry, I'm fine. I was drunk last night. I'll be back later. Did Alex go to school?"
"Yes, I've already sent him over. He kept asking me why his Mominy wasn't around. I lied to him. I said that you had work today and went out very early."
Valeria flipped her hair. "That's good. I'll be back later. Don't worry."
With that, she hung up the phone. Valeria lifted the quilt and went to the bathroom to wash up.
She had lived here before, so she was very familiar with this place.
Keith got up and walked to the bathroom door, waiting for Valeria to come out of the bathroom.
After a while, Valeria came out of the bathroom after washing up. When she opened the door, she was shocked to see him standing outside.
"Why are you standing here? You scared me."
Keith asked, "Are you going to leave just like that? I have something to ask you. What happened last night? What happened between you and Hackett? Why did you go to the bar to drink?" "Nothing. I have to go. We'll talk some other time."
She was not in the mood to talk about this now. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
However, Keith blocked her way as soon as she took one step. He looked like he would not
stop until he got the answer.
"You and Hackett had a fight? Because of what?"
"Who told you I had a fight with him? No. I have nothing to do with him, and I don't fight."
Now that Hackett was mentioned, she couldn't help but recall everything that had happened in the garage last night. She gritted her teeth in hatred and wished she could kill that scumbag
In the garage, Hackett's every word insulted her character.
Keith laughed. "Is that so? Last night, you kept calling Hackett a scumbag in your dream and said that he was lying to you. it really nothing? And you know Lisie? Why are you talking about her in your dream?" She frowned.
She had actually said so much after getting drunk... Really?
She could no longer drink in the future. Her alcohol tolerance was not good to begin with, and she often talked nonsense

after drinking.
"No, I don't. I don't know Elsie. Or maybe the Elsie I'm talking about is not the same person as the one you knew. There are many people with the same name in this world."
After saying that, Valeria wanted to leave again, but she was still blocked by Keith.
"What are you trying to say? Valeria was getting impatient.
"Hackett came to look for you last night. He asked me to let you go with him, but I didn't open the door. Then, for some reason, he left. I thought that with his personality, he would drive the car and smash the door open." The expression on Valeria's face froze for a long time.
"He? What is he doing here...
How dare he come to look for her? Why? Was lie so think-skinned?
Valeria felt that she was getting more and more confused about Hackett. He was like a schizophrenic. Sometimes, he was cold and heartless, and the next moment, he was acting like he had deep feelings for her. It was really inexplicable.
"He was here to take you back. You know that he always wants to remarry you. How can he be at ease with you staying with me? However, he suddenly left yesterday. It's indeed quite surprising." Keith said.
Valeria suddenly erupted and shouted at Keith angrily, "Why couldn't he be at ease? He's about to get engaged and get married at the end of the year. Why should he care which man with? What right does he have? Does he really think that all the women in the world have to revolve around him? Bastard
She had nowhere to vent her anger. However, she vented her anger at Keith though he was innocent.
After venting, she regretted it. What did this have to do with Keith? Why did sive vent her anger on him?
I'm sorry. I'm a little agitated. I'll get going. I'll talk to you another day."
Valeria picked up her bag and was about to leave when Keith grabbed her wrist. "Are you saying that Hackett is going to get engaged and marry someone else? Is it Elsie? You called her name

ry smart, but his quick reaction at this moment rendered her speechless.
She had always known that Keith was very
Keith thought that he had guessed wrongly. When all these clues were connected, it meant that Hackett was going to marry

Keith's
eyes were filled with surprise, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
What was Hackett doing? Why did he want to marry Elsie? Didn't he want to remarry Valeria? What about Alex? "What right does Hackett have to do this? Does he want to abandon you and Alex? I will go ask him for an explanation" Keith was a little angry. He turned around and wanted to reason with Hackett.
This time, Valeria pulled him back. "Don't go. Why are you looking for him? He can marry whoever he wants. It has nothing to do with me. I don't care."
Stop lying. Do you really not care? Then why did you get drunk? You have never liked to drink!" Keith directly exposed her.
Valeria had nothing to retort. She turned her head away and said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed his words. He had already hurt me so deeply four years ago, but I still haven't learned my lesson four years later, I deserve it
I don't understand what's going on in Hackett's mind. Was everything he said before a lie? How

irresponsible? His words are like farts
Keith could not help but curse. As a lawyer, he rarely cursed and had always been a gentleman.
However, Valeria smiled sadly. "It's really hard to know someone heart. Moreover, a leopard never changes its spots. Perhaps, Elsie is his type and attracts him. Isn't it normal for me to like young and beautiful women? I've seen Elsie before. She's quite pretty. She's a rich young lady while Tlackett is a rich young master. They're a match made in heaven. She's a better choice than me"
"What about Alex? Hackett doesn't want Alex either?"
Alex?
Valeria sighed. "After marrying Elsie, he can have another child. Will he still remember the child who was born by his ex-wife? Besides, I will not let Alex return to the James family. I would rather the baby not have a father than a stepmother!"
She swore that she would never return Alex to the James family Never!
"Valeria... Are you sure he really wants to marry the daughter of the Maddox family?
Logically speaking, with the James family's strength, Hackett needed a marriage alliance. Keith did not understand why Hackett did this.
