Valeria got out of the car outside the Maddox's villa. The bodyguard said, "Someone will send your car here tomorrow."

She merely grunted in acknowledgment and walked off without saying a word.

Kaden followed behind them and drove to the Maddox's villa too. After parking the car, he caught sight of Valeria and said to her, "Things don't seem simple between you and that man. What is he talking about when he said he would take back what belongs to him?" Valeria turned around to face him. "Mind your own business. Why are you poking your nose into my business? Do you think you have the right to meddle in my affairs?"

"Of course not. But it seems like I found something that I can use against you. What do you think will happen if Hackett finds out that you went to see a man tonight?" "What exactly do you want?"

Valeria looked at the man in front of her. She must have been blind in the past. She had thought Kaden was a devoted man. Now, he was worse than a dog to her. Even a dog was more loyal than Kaden.

Seeing that he had successfully provoked her, Kaden smirked. "Nothing. I just want you to know that I'm watching you. Stay out of my business. If anything happens to me, I guarantee you and Hackett won't have an easy life too." "Do you think you can do anything to me?"

Valera was annoyed at Kaden's s arrogance. She smiled disdainfully at him.

"Is that so? Well then, let's see what happens next."

Valeria snorted coldly and walked into the villa. She would never cower in front of a man like Kaden.

Kaden looked at her and sneered. "You're still so stubborn. Just wait and see."

It was already very late at night.

Elsie was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep. When she heard Kaden, her body stiffened and kept her eyes closed.

At that moment, she did not want to face him.

However, Kaden wanted to taunt her.

"Get up. Get me some coffee."

Elsie did not say a word. Neither did she stir.

Kaden felt a flash of irritation and bellowed, "Get up! I'm talking to you! I've been running around, trying to find evidence against Valeria. Do you know how tired I am? Is this how you treat your husband?" "All right."

Elsie had no choice but to get up from the bed. She put on her robe and walked out of the bedroom.

After taking a shower in her room, Valeria suddenly felt a little thirsty. She made her way to the kitchen to get some water from the fridge.

Coincidentally, she bumped into Elsie who was making some coffee.

Ever since Valeria moved into the Maddox's villa, she heard that Elsie never did any household chores. Hence, Valeria was surprised to find Elsie making coffee that night.

Valeria wondered if Elsie was trying to make herself sober with the coffee. Was Elsie drunk?

She then recalled that Kaden reeked of alcohol earlier and guessed Elsie must be making the coffee for him.

"Are you making coffee for your husband?"

Valeria's question startled Elsie, who looked like she was in a daze. Regaining her senses, she patted her chest. "You gave me a scare."This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"You didn't do anything sneaky. Why should you be scared?"

Valeria walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. She took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and drank a few gulps.

Elsie continued to make her coffee without saying anything..

She did not know if Hackett understood what she was trying to tell him earlier since she was unable to finish what she wanted to say. Now that Valeria appeared to be clueless about their conversation and regarded her civilly, Elsie did not see any point in saying anything to her. Valeria suddenly looked outside the kitchen. After making sure that there was no one else around, she closed the kitchen door.

"Kaden was the one who caused Lester's death. He was also the one who slept with you that night. Am I right?"

Although Valeria had already guessed it, she still wanted to hear the truth from Elsie directly.

Stunned, Elsie looked up with her mouth wide open. Although she was unable to say anything for a long time, her expression already gave her away.

"How did you know? Did Hackett tell you? But Kaden came in before I could complete..."

"It doesn't matter. You know how intelligent Hackett is. He already knew what happened."

All of a sudden, Elsie grabbed hold of Valeria's hand. "Help me! Please, I can't take it anymore. Ever since we got married, Kaden seems to have become a different person. He's no longer the gentleman I used to know."

"Don't worry. Hackett has already started looking into Kaden. We'll know what he's up to soon. In any case, we already know the truth. What we lack is evidence."

Elsie grabbed Valeria's hand more tightly. "But I can't wait anymore. I can't wait a second longer. I..."

"You belong to the Maddox family. He's only a son-in-law who married into your family. He won't dare to do anything to you."

Valeria was puzzled by Elsie's reaction. She suddenly looked down and noticed the blood under Elsie's nails. They looked like they had been pricked by a sharp object.

"What happened to your finger?" Valeria grabbed her hand.

Elsie cried out in pain and withdrew her hand. "He used a needle to prick my finger."

"What? Scoundrel! How can he do such a thing to you? Who does he think he is? The heir of the Maddox family?

"I must settle this score with him."

Valeria was about to leave when Elsie pulled her back. "No, don't go and look for him. If you make him angry, he will post the video of that night online. I will be ruined."

"Do you believe him? He is the man in the video. Let's see if he dares to post the video. I don't believe he has the guts to do

it."

Elsie sobbed, "I've seen that video. From the angle of the camera, only his back view was visible, but my face could be seen clearly. If he posts the video, no one can tell he is the man." Valeria' was aghast that Kaden was such a scheming person.

"How can you allow him to do this to you? He's abusing you physically. This man is crazy. How dare he treat you so cruelly?" Staring at Elsie's fingers, Valeria's anger spiked. She could never tolerate a man mistreating a woman. When Valeria was a defense lawyer overseas, she would never defend an abusive husband in domestic violence cases.

Elsie finally realized what blood ties meant when she saw how indignant Valeria was. She cried out, "Valeria, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide the truth from Mom and Dad back then. I was too young. I forgot what happened? She fell on her kneels and wept in front of Valeria, feeling regretful about what she had done as a child.

Valeria was her blood sister. She had doted on Elsie and gave in to her all the time.

Yet at the crucial time, Elsie left Valeria alone to look for the servants. Moreover, she did not tell the servants that her sister was nearby.

She was terribly ashamed of her behavior back then.
