Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

+5)

Kaden concealed his inner delight, believing that Hackett had fallen into his trap. He knew he had to stir up some turmoil for Hackett and Valeria, ensuring they would be too preoccupied to interfere.

"Indeed, if we are to collaborate, it hinges on your ability to orchestrate the situation. After all, I remain unaware of the events that transpired between you and Valeria, and the reasons behind her profound fear of you." For the past few days, he had been contemplating this question le had harbored a deep-seated desire to leverage this information as a tool to intimidate Valeria.

However, Valeria appeared to be indifferent to it all. "Why did she feel the need to confine herself to her home all day?" he thought.

It was only when Hackett returned that Valeria mustered the courage to venture outside with the child. He couldn't fathom that there was nothing amiss in this situation. Simon remained silent, his gaze fixed unwaveringly upon Kaden.

An air of unease settled upon them, creating an awkward atmosphere. Kaden could sense that Simon was reluctant to divulge his personal affairs.

Kaden thought to himself, "Never mind. Perhaps it's best not to pry further. My intention was simply to utilize this man as a means to delay Valeria and Hackett."

"Apologies for my excessive inquiries. How about this instead? I am willing to work for you, assisting you in any way you desire. After all, it is rather convenient for me to navigate in and out of the Maddox family at present."

In his thoughts, Kaden acknowledged, "Above all else, I remain unaware of Mr. Lawrence's intentions. Even if I were inclined to cooperate, I wouldn't know how to align our efforts."

Simon's deep gaze lingered on him for a prolonged moment before he inquired, "What is your grievance against Valeria?"

"It's nothing significant. Being a son-in-law living under the same roof, it's not uncommon for her to have some dislike towards me. However, she constantly singles me out and attempts to drive a wedge between my wife and me. I cannot tolerate such behavior. I suppose... your objective is likely to pursue Valeria, am I correct?"

Kaden asked tentatively.

When a man became so fixated on a woman, there were typically only two possibilities. Either he harbored a profound love for her, or he despised her to such an extent that he sought revenge.

Kaden contemplated, "Could it be that Valeria had betrayed Mr. Lawrence? It is plausible, considering she had been abroad for four years, as I've heard. There might be some truth to it."

Simon's smile widened. "You're quite astute. However, I have no interest in Valeria herself. My focus lies on the child. Naturally, if the child cannot thrive without her, I will take her along, regardless of her desires." Kaden was taken aback. "He wants her child?

"Wasn't this child Hackett James's? Why does he desire Hackett James's child?"

"I apologize for stating the obvious, but do you have knowledge of the true parentage of this child? I'm afraid it won't be a simple task for you to separate Hackett from his child in this situation."

For a brief moment, Kaden failed to comprehend Lawrence's implication.

Simon sneered, his voice dripping with icy coldness. "What if I were to claim my own child?"

Kaden's

eyes widened in shock. "You mean... Alex is... your child Not Hackett's?"

He thought, "What kind of shocking secret is this!

"I actually knew about such a huge scandal!

"Valeria had betrayed Hackett! The child was actually Mr. Lawrence's!"

Simon remained unfazed by Kaden's shocked expression. He spoke in a low voice, "Do you still wish to collaborate with me? How do you propose we work together? Valeria appears to harbor animosity toward you as well, let alone allowing you to interact with her child. How do you intend to proceed with our collaboration?" Hence, Simon displayed complete indifference toward Kaden. To him, Kaden was nothing more than a mere clown.

"We can indeed collaborate, Mr. Lawrence. I can assist you in reclaiming the child! I empathize with your sentiments deeply. This is your own flesh and blood. How can they be left to wander outside!"

He was resolute in involving himself in this complicated situation. His sole objective was to dismantle Valeria and Hackett, and he was determined to see it through.

Simon remained silent, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Kaden.

Kaden realized that mere words would not be sufficient to demonstrate his usefulness. He pressed on, "I can discreetly bring the child to you, ensuring their safe handover."

If the child were to go missing. Valeria and Hackett would undoubtedly be consumed with searching for their child. They would have little time or attention to spare for his trivial matters. "Indeed? In that case, let's discuss further once you have successfully delivered the child to

me."

With that, Simon rose from his seat and strode toward the elevator without casting a glance back. He had no interest in entertaining the nonsensical ramblings of this clown.

"Mr. Lawrence, anticipate good news from me!" Kaden watched the man depart, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

The next day, early morning.

After waking up, Simon descended the stairs and found the bodyguard waiting for him. The bodyguard had been waiting for quite some time and held a file in his hand.

"Sir, this is the result of the paternity test. I just received it," the bodyguard informed.

With a cold expression, the man extended his hand. The bodyguard handed over the file, maintaining a respectful demeanor.

He opened the file and perused the contents, revealing the paternity test report. Although he trusted no one but Dr. Al, Valeria had insisted on conducting a DNA paternity test on Creyque, leaving him with no choice but to comply.. He was eager to hear what Valeria had to say this time.

He disregarded the initial data comparison and analysis and swiftly turned to the final page. At the top, in bold letters, it stated, "Establishing Parent-Child Relationship!"

He smiled, his

tions confirmed.

He used his phone to capture a picture of the DNA results on the final page and promptly sent it to Valeria's phone, urging her to examine it closely.

"Sir, how much longer do you plan to stay here? There are still numerous matters in the country that require your attention,"

08:25 Mon,

the bodyguard reminded-

Simon shot the bodyguard a piercing gaze. "Do you think I am unaware of that fact? That the Lawrence family would crumble without my presence?"

The man's anger flared, evident in his demeanor. The bodyguard, realizing he had overstepped, lowered his head and fell silent. He understood that he had spoken out of turn.

"I am running out of patience. If this man continues to bother me, I may have no choice but to resort to force, he declared with a hint of frustration in his voice.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Once again, the bodyguard offered a reminder, "Sir, Hackett returned yesterday and checked into the Maddox family. I wonder if he is aware of this situation." Simon sneered. "Would Valeria inform him that she cheated on him?"

He was well aware that Valeria would not dare to disclose this information to anyone.

After all, Hackett was a man of high standing. If he were to discover that his son was not biologically his, it was likely that he would react with extreme anger toward Valeria. At the same time.

In the Maddox family.

Valeria had recently awakened. After freshening up and changing clothes, she proceeded to wake up Alex and prepare him for school.

It had been several days since Alex had last attended kindergarten. Now that Hackett had returned, Valeria felt a newfound

and determination. sense of courage

Suddenly, Valeria received a text message on her phone.

Curiosity piqued, Valeria retrieved her phone and discovered that the message was from Simon. With a mixture of apprehension and intrigue, she opened it, revealing a photo.

As Valeria laid eyes upon the contents of the photo, she was struck with a profound sense of shock, causing her to remain frozen in place for an extended period of time.

Her mind raced with questions as she wondered, "Was this yet another fabricated paternity test? What could this man possibly want?"

Perplexed, Valeria pondered, "Why would he go through the trouble of fabricating multiple paternity test results? Did he have nothing better to occupy his time?"

Valeria's mind raced with suspicions. "Could it be that someone manipulated the paternity test results for Creyque? This person seems remarkably resourceful. Perhaps the paternity test reports for both Creyque and Emmerick could have been tampered with?"
