Chapter 115 In the darkness, Valeria could not see the man's face clearly, but she could feel the air pressure around him lowering.
Hackett picked up another cigarette and put it between his lips. He lit it up, the light flashing and disappearing, the smoke lingering in the air.
Valeria was not used to the smell of cigarettes, so she could not help but wave her hand in front of her nose. Valeria coughed, "Do you have to smoke? You're so annoying." Hackett paused for a moment before stubbing out his cigarette in the ashtray. Then, Hackett slowly stood up and walked around the desk toward Valeria. "Then what do I have to do to make you agree?" "No matter what, I won't agree. I mean, you can forcesince the weaker one won't be able to defeat the stronger one, and I will be forced to obey obediently." The two of them seemed to be talking about work, but there were many undercurrents.
Hackett picked up the remote control and pressed it. The lights in the entire office con.
Valeria used her hand to cover her eyes in discomfort. When Valeria saw Hackett's handsface clearly, she was stunned for a moment.
"I can force you, but I want you do it willingly." Hackett stared into Valeria's clear eyes. It had been many days since Hackett had last seen Valeria, and he resisted the crazy urge to pull her into his arms.
Valeria snorted coldly. "That slap you gavethat day forcedto cto my senses. It's impossible between us." "I'm sorry... Does it still hurt?" Hackett raised his right arm, reaching out his slender fingers to touch her cheek. That day, Hackett had been having a splitting headache, and he had also been feeling frustrated, so he might not have controlled his strength well. It had probably been very painful. Valeria slapped Hackett's hand away. "Don't touch me!" Hackett didn't say anything.

Hackett James, don't tellyou want to keep two women by your side? Do you really think you're a king who can pick several wives?" When Valeria thought about how Hackett had flown into a rage because of Cheryl that day, Valeria was furious.
"Valeria Sharp! I told you I don't love Cheryl. Not at all! It's just that I owe her too much, and this time, you disfigured her face..." Although Cheryl did lie on the night of the celebration dinner, Cheryl's face seemed to have been disfigured by Valeria.
Valeria had a look of puzzlement on her face. Valeria did not understand how she could have disfigured Cheryl's face. "Her face was disfigured with just a few slaps? How strong am I?" Valeria wondered.
"If you feel sorry for your little lover, just say it! I only gave her a few slaps. How did that disfigure her? Is her face so noble? I even took a slap from you. Is my face disfigured too?" Valeria couldn't stand the way Hackett defended Cheryl and believed whatever Cheryl said, no matter the situation.
1/3 D 09:54 Sat, Nov Chapter 115 X81%# Hackett was silent for a few seconds. "Didn't you use a knife on her? Her face and arms had long cuts from a fruit knife. Her face is disfigured. She might sue you and make a big deal out of it." Valeria's eyes widened in disbelief.
"When did I use a knife on Cheryl? I'm a lawyer. How could I not know the serious consequences of hurting someone with a knife?" Hackett frowned slightly.
Due to Cheryl's lie about the night of the celebration dinner, Hackett no longer believed Cheryl as much as he used to.
However, the surveillance video showed that not long after Valeria had walked out of Cheryl's house, Cheryl had walked out with blood all over her face.
Hackett spoke slowly, "But the surveillance camera outside Cheryl's house showed that shortly after you left, she walked out with her face covered in blood... Moreover, the surveillance camera captured that you had hit her before you entered. If Cheryl posts this video online, it will be very disadvantageous to you. Besides, she's a celebrity, so it's very likely that your reputation will be ruined and you won't be able to survive here." Valeria could not help but laugh. Her laughter was filled with sarcasm.
Valeria had not expected Cheryl to be so ruthless and go so far as to disfigure her own face to frValeria. "How could there be such a vicious woman in the world? "She isn't just ruthless to others, but even more so to herself." Valeria thought.
Valeria looked at the man in front of her. "So, do you believe her or me?" Hackett pursed his lips tightly, but his gaze was fixed on Valeria without saying a word.
Men were rational and could not make judgments based on their intuition. Hackett had to rely on evidence. The surveillance video showed that the probability of Valeria hurting Cheryl was quite high. However, Hackett wasn't sure. Seeing Hackett's hesitation, Valeria's heart turned cold.
Even if Valeria had not spent much twith Hackett, Valeria wondered why Hackett did not know what kind of person she was. Did Hackett really think that she could do such a vicious thing? "Alright, there's no need to say anymore. It seems like you still believe Cheryl more than you believe me. You also think that I disfigured her face." "Valeria Sharp!" Hackett grabbed Valeria's slender wrist and said with a serious expression, "Whether you did it or not, I will protect you. I won't let her ruin your life." Valeria was stunned for a few seconds.
What was that supposed to mean? Hackett was basically saying that Valeria was the one who destroyed Cheryl's face. What right did he have to make such a judgment? "Do you think I'll be moved by what you're doing? I don't need you to protect me. I believe the truth will cout eventually. Why should I be afraid of something I didn't do?" Valeria could find evidence to prove her innocence instead of using the James family's power to suppress this matter.

Hackett forcefully grabbed her hand. "That's not what I meant, just don't want to see you...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Enough. I can handle my own matters. I don't need you to pretend to be nice!" Valeria shook off Hackett's hand and left his office.
As soon as Valeria walked out of the office, Hackett wanted to get up and chase after her. At that moment, ve Hackett's phone rang and KeO M answered the call. "Mr. James, there's movement on Cheryl's side. They've already posted her hospitalization photo online. Even the surveillance video has been posted online. They're starting to move the public opinion." "Suppress them! Take it all down!" Hackett returned to his desk. He had worked overtso late today because he was waiting for this.
Hackett knew that Cheryl would not stop.
At the hospital, Cheryl watched as om the photos posted online of her receiving treatment in the hospital were deleted in an instant. All the public opinion that was about to be built up was also suppressed. Cheryl was so angry that she smashed her phone on the ground, Cheryl knew that Hackett had taken action.
If Valeria was not driven out of the country, Cheryl would have disfigured her face for nothing.
Cheryl had paid such a huge price. She refused to let Valeria off so easily.
""Never!" Cheryl thought.
This time, Cheryl had to chase Valeria out of the country. Otherwise, she would never be together with Hackett.
Cheryl picked up her phone and made a call, speaking angrily "Rost it! the angrily Past it! Continue posting it! If it's deleted, post it again! Go to that forum and post it. That forum spreads
