Hackett remained silent for a long tbefore saying, "Valeria, Laccidentally discovered that you are the daughter of the Maddox family. I'm sorry for not getting your consent beforehand." "Tellhow you accidentally discovered it." She was quite curious about this.
After all, she and the Maddox family had no apparent connections, and no one would ever think that she was the lost daughter of the Maddox family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I found a photo at the Maddox house. It was a picture of Elsie and her sister. So, Lhad a computer-generated simulation of what the sister would look like twenty years later. When I saw the simulation, I realized it looked like you. So, I boldly guessed that you might be the daughter of the Maddox family. That's why I secretly did the paternity test. If it turned out negative, I didn't plan to tell you I did a paternity test for you and Clayton." After hearing this, Valeria laughed. "You really went through a lot of trouble. But at the stime, you've also shot yourself in the foot Hackett frowned and looked puzzled.
Mor Chapter 260 Valeria continued. "You've proved that I am indeed the daughter of the Maddox family, but you've also ruined your engagement banquet with Elsie. Now, you can't get engaged. How are you going to fulfill your grand plan of alliance!" Tve already married the eldest daughter of the Maddox family and we even have an adorable son" "That's true, but so what? We've already divorced. Now, I'm just your ex-wife. Will Clayton help his daughter's ex- husband?" Hackett also smiled. "Then, I'll just have to leave it to fate. Perhaps this is teachingthat I must rely on myself in my own affairs "Are you really willing to accept this? After all the planning you've done for so long, are you willing to give up so easily?" Valeria didn't believe it. Hackett had never been one to give up easily. He was domineering and stubborn. Whatever he wanted, he would obtain it by any means necessary.
Hackett smiled and remained silent.
He would never be willing to give up at this point. Why should he? Moreover, he couldn't let the shares in his grandfather's hands fall into the hands of his aunt and cousin, who were nothing but wastrels. Sooner or later, they would squander it all, and the entire James Group would have to be sold off. Hackett couldn't bear to lose the legacy his grandfather had worked a lifetto build. "Valeria. I simply told you the truth. You have the right to know. As for whether you want to acknowledge them, that's your business. I won't interfere. I know you must be feeling very confused right now. Rest well." After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
If Valeria wasn't willing to help him, he would have to start all over again. There was still much he needed to do.
As Hackett walked away. Valeria suddenly spoke up. "You seem to have lost weight recently. Have you been busy trying to recover the shares from your grandpa?" Hackett stopped in his tracks and glanced back at her. "Yes" She had already found out that Hackett had been busy trying to reclaim the shares. During the period when he was sad and down, he had allowed his aunt and her family to anatch the shares. Now that he had rallied, he was determined to regain what belonged to the James family. "When you found out I'm Clayton's daughter, were you happy? I were to plead with Clayton, he would definitely help you recover the shares. Is that what you're thinking, Mr. James?" This was the real Mr. James, the cold and-ruthless Hackett.
Hackett remained silent for a while. Then he turned back to face her and said in a low voice, "To be honest, I've never thought about it that way. That was a lie. I just hoped you could help me. I won't force you if you don't want to helpbecause taking back the shares is my business, not your obligation. I understand." "You speak so self-righteously. But why did you show the paternity test to Clayton first instead of showing it to me? Aren't you trying to take credit? Her tone contained disdain.

She stood up and sneered. "So why don't you want to marry Elsier She's om young, beautiful, and Clayton's daughter. She could assist you. Why did you insist on investigating her lost sister? Now you've foundand ruined your own dreams" Hackett retorted, "Valeria, I'll say it again. I don't want to marry Elsie. I don't like hert" "Then what about the things you said toin the garage earlier Was that all an act?" Valeria recalled the scene in the garage, and her anger flared up,
Hackett said, "Yes, it was. It was all an act. Because at that time, Clayton, that old fox, was watching mem didn't want want to arouse his suspicion. I didn't want to lose the opportunity for him to helprecover the shares. Because at that time, I still didn't know you were another daughter of the Maddox family!" 0
