Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 233 "Elsie Maddox? Like the Maddox family that owns the Maddox Group? Clayton's daughter?" Hackett said in a deep voice, "That's right." With that, Hackett turned around and left, leaving Cheryl standing on the spot in shock.

How did things change so quickly? Didn't Hackett say that he wanted to marry Valeria again? Why did he suddenly want to marry Clayton's daughter, Elsie? If she could not even handle Valeria, then not to mention Elsie. Esie was a real socialite. She was a perfect match for Hackell "Impossible... Hackett can't have a change of heart so quickly. Besides, Hackett and Valeria have a child." Cheryl could not understand. Hackett was not such an irresponsible man. Even though he did not love Cheryl, he used to be with her for many years. Now that he had a child with Valeria, why would he marry Elsie? Momentarily, she forgot that she had gotten Hackett's grandfather rolling down the stairs.

Hackett cto the crscene alone and recalled what Emest had told him. At that time, Grandpa had rolled down from there.

Hackett was lost in thought, staring up the stairs.

It seemed that he could see how desperate and helpless his grandfather was when he rolled down the stairs. A woman's voice suddenly sounded. "Mr. James, you're back The voice interrupted his train of thought. Hackett turned around and saw that it was Irma, who was usually responsible for taking care of his mother.

His mother had been staying in a sanatorium recently, so Irma was free.

When she saw Hackett, Irma seemed frightened with sfear in her eyes. However, there were not many people in manor who were not afraid of Hackett "Why are you here!" the "I'm in charge of cleaning now. I have to wipe the guardrail. I didn't know you were here. I'll cback later." With that, Irma was about to leave.

Hackett stopped her. "Wait." Irma turned around. "What else can I do for you, sir?" "That day... Were you at hwhen Grandpa had that accident? Hackett asked.

Irma froze, thinking that Mr. James was going to interrogate her. She could not help but becnervous. "Yes" Seeing her uneasy look, Hackett narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why are you so nervous?" Irma's voice began to tremble. T. I'm just a little nervous. I'm afraid that you'll suspect me. The news has been spreading for the past two days that your grandfather had quarreled with a woman on the day of the accident. Now that you're investigating who that woman is, I'm afraid you'll suspect me." 1/3 Chapter 233 Hackett frowned. "I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Don't worry. I'm not suspecting you. I only want to ask if you noticed anything unnatural that day" Speaking of something unnatural, Irma suddenly thought of something and hesitated to say it.

"Mr. James, there's something I don't know if I should tell you about..." "Tell me!" Hackett stared at Irma, waiting for her to speak.

Irma looked around as if she was afraid the walls had ears. She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Speaking of unnatural things, something strange did happen that day. I even wondered if I was hallucinating. I was in charge of cleaning your bedroom that day, but I had a weird feeling. It was like there was someone in the bedroom. I even specially checked, and there was no one, but I could always hear sounds. After I finished cleaning, 1 left. Later on, I heard that your grandfather had rolled down the stairs. People said that he had been to your room that day. I suspect..." The more Hackett listened, the more mystified he became. "What do you suspect?" "I suspect... There might be a female ghost. The first person who discovered your grandfather lying on the ground was Ms. Sharp, but Ms. Sharp didn't admit to doing it. Could it be a female ghost? Because that day. I kept feeling that someone was in your bedroom, and your grandfather had been there..." Irma reasonably voiced her suspicions, which were unearthly.

However, Hackett thought her words were just nonsense. He could not bear to listen to another word of Irma. Female ghost? How was that even possible? Alright, that's it. Go do your thing." He could not be bothered to listen to Irma's crap anymore.

Irma could only nod and leave.

Hackett's gaze returned to the stairs, but Irma's words aroused his suspicion.

He thought, "Perhaps Irma was right about one thing. Was someone hiding in my bedroom that day? But who would dare to enter my bedroom casually? I had said no one was allowed to stay in my room except for cleaning, and no one was allowed to rummage through my things." Then, who dared to be in his bedroom without his permission? He searched his mind but could not think of such a person. Could it be someone who was not from his family? Who could it bel The next evening, at the Maddox's villa.

After Hackett cto Maddox's villa to meet the designer and take his measure, he had a meal with the members of the Maddox family together.

It was also the first tHackett met Elsie's mother and grandmother.

Those two women did not look easy to mess with.

Hackett sat next to Elsie and ate by himself. He did not help to serve her food or talk to her even once. The more Clayton looked at his future son-in-law, the more satisfied he became. Those who achieved great things did not care about trifles. In short, Clayton thought Hackett was so much better than that poor boy Elsie used to date. Loretta, on the other hand, was not satisfied with Hackett. She felt that Hackett did not care about her daughter.

"Hackett, who in your family will attend the engagement party at the end of the month?" At last, Loretta put her thoughts into words.

20:52 Fri, Nov 15 Chapter 233 70% Elsie was the Maddox family's only precious daughter. At least an elder from the James family must attend the engagement. party to witness their engagement.

Hackett put down his fork and said thickly, "Mrs. Maddox, you know the situation of the elders on my side, so I don't plan to let any elders be at the engagement party. I can make my own decisions." Rhonda was unhappy. She put down her fork forcefully. "How can you do that? Is Elsie so shameful? For many people, an engagement only happens once in a lifetime. Aren't there any elders in your family to bear witness?" Hackett suppressed his frustration and patiently explained again, "My grandfather has passed away, and so has My mother is in the sanatorium. Who else in my family do you expect to be there?" Au father.

Rhonda was lost for words. Loretta's expression was so grim. No matter what, she felt like her family was being looked down upon.

Clayton spoke to smooth things over.

"Alright, you women are so troublesome. You don't have to be so You picky. As long as Hackett and Elsie are happy, anything is negotiable We're elders to them. We should be more tolerant and open-minded, right?" "But this is against the rules. I won't go to their engagement party if this is the case. You guys can go if you want." Loretta could not help but say harshly. How could her daughter's engagement party be so sloppy?

"Against the rules? Are you joking? I have the final say in this family. You can cto the engagement party if you want you don't, then whatever.

ve Without you, the engagement party can still be held." Clayton's tone was nasty.

Loretta was irritated to hear so and cursed Clayton angrily, "Clayton! You're always so chauvinistic. Everything is about you. You always final have the final say! Don't forget that because of you, Elena was lost for 20 years and hasn't been found until now. We don't even know if she's dead or alive. Now, you're trying to decide our last daughter's life like that again!" SEND GIFT COMMENT Fri, Nov 15 Chapter 234 Hackett knitted his brows as he sat there.
