Resumption 395
In the study, Clayton's expression was dark as he held his hands behind his back. It was clear Clayton was angry just by looking at his back.
"Dad, help me. I want to divorce Kaden. I want a divorce!" Elsic ran into the study room like she was running for her life and hid behind her father.
Clayton held Elsie's unsteady body and frowned. "Do you regret it now? Do you want a divorce now? What did I tell you back then? You didn't listen to a word I said. You even dared to run away from home and elope with that kid!" Elsie could not say a word, just lowering her head and crying.
Elsie knew she had made a mistake. She had misjudged Kaden and fallen into his trap.
"I was wrong... I'm sorry, Dad..."
Clayton seemed to know everything, so he did not say anything else and pulled Elsie behind him.
Clayton had already heard Kaden's footsteps approaching them. Kaden's footsteps were unhurried and even a little calm.
Upon hearing the footsteps, Elsie's face was filled with fear. Elsie was now so afraid of Kaden as if he was a monster. Kaden walked into the study with a usual harmless smile on his face. "Clayton, you wanted to see me?"
Clayton slammed his palm on the desk angrily. "I didn't expect you to be so bold! Now, you will quickly divorce Elsie and get out of the Maddox family! The Maddox family won't have a son-in-law like you!"
As expected, Kaden did not panic at all. Instead, he smiled. "Clayton, why are you behaving like this? Haven't you already accepted me? Why have you changed your mind?"
"Go! Get out! I'll get my lawyer to talk to you about the divorce!" Clayton did not want to see this bastard for even a second longer.
Clayton had once thought that he was old and had made a misjudgment about Kaden. Clayton had not expected Kaden to prove him right. Kaden was exactly the kind of person Clayton thought he was when he first saw Kaden. Kaden was just hypocritical and cunning. "Clayton, we..."
Kaden was about to speak when Clayton roared, "Get out! I don't have a son-in-law like you!"
"You can't say that. I married your daughter when her reputation was in tatters..."
"How dare you mention that! Jasper! Get someone to throw this bastard out!" Clayton was furious and immediately called for the butler.
A few seconds later, Jasper walked into the study with a few bodyguards.
Kaden looked at the situation in front of him. If Kaden continued to insist on staying, it probably wouldn't turn out well for him. It was good to know when to retreat, so Kaden decided it was better for him to leave first.
Kaden gave Elsie, who was hiding behind Clayton, a deep look. Then, Kaden turned around and left the study, leaving the house and family.
Standing outside the Maddox's villa, Kaden looked back at the villa and said to himself with a smile, "It's easier to invite the devil in than to send him away. Since it's a divorce, I won't stand on ceremony." Chapter 395
Kaden would also hire the best lawyer and try his best to obtain the most benefits he could.
Valeria and Hackett had brought Alex out to play for an entire day and had come back in the evening, after dinner.
When they returned, they realized that the atmosphere in the house was very tense.
At this moment, Jasper walked over. "Miss Valeria, Mr. James, have you had dinner? Do you need the kitchen to prepare some food?*
'No need. We've already eaten. By the way, why do I feel something is wrong? Where are my parents? Where's Elsie?"
Jasper calmly recounted what had happened during the day. "So, after the two of you took Mr. Alex out in the afternoon, Mr. Clayton threw Kaden out and asked for him to divorce Miss Elsie. They will probably get a divorce soon." Hackett was not surprised at all. "It suits his style of doing things. He's swift and decisive."
"You know about this? Am I the only one who doesn't know?" Valeria felt like she had been kept in the dark about this for the entire day.
Hackett hugged his sleeping son in his arms and said, "I've already handed the evidence I found to Mr/Maddox. It's his family matter, so I can't interfere in how he will handle this matter."
Valeria was speechless as she realized she was the only one who knew nothing about this.
Hackett walked towards the elevator, and Valeria followed him.
The two of them returned to their room and carefully placed their son on the bed before pulling a blanket over him.
Hackett then stood up and gestured for Valeria to come out of the room as if he had something to say to her.
Valeria followed Hackett out of the room and closed the door, afraid of waking Alex.
"Bring your driver's license along with you at 8 a.m. tomorrow. I'll get Tyler to pick you up."
Valeria was dumbfounded and a little confused. She had no idea what was going on. "What for?"
Hackett's handsome face was calm. "Remarriage."
"Remarriage?"
Hackett nodded. "Why? Are you going back on your word? I've already fulfilled your request. You have no reason to reject me. Besides, I have to go up against the Lawrence family's successor. He's not that easy to deal with. If I don't even have any status, how can I be qualified to deal with him?"
Although what Hackett said made sense, Valeria had a weird feeling he was taking advantage of her.
Valeria was a little hesitant to remarry Hackett just like that.
Hackett could see Valeria's hesitation. Valeria's hesitation only made Hackett even more determined to remarry Valeria as soon as possible. Otherwise, Valeria might go back on her word at the last minute.
"It's settled. I'll get Tyler to pick you up tomorrow morning. I have something to deal with tonight, so I won't be sleeping
here."
If not for the fact that it was too late, Hackett would have dragged Valeria to the government office to get married immediately.

"Hey, you..."
Valeria wanted to say something more, but Hackett seemed to be afraid that Valeria would reject him. Hackett turned around and walked towards the elevator, not giving her any chance to speak. Valeria shook her head helplessly and decided to go and talk to Clayton. Valeria guessed that her parents were probably very depressed now.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Valeria turned around and saw Elsie walking out of the room.
Before Valeria could speak, Elsie took the initiative to hug Valeria and cried, "Valeria, thank you. I'm about to be free. I can get a divorce and be free of Kaden."
Of course, Elsie knew that Valeria must have persuaded Hackett for him to agree to help. Otherwise, there was no reason for Hackett to help her, especially since Elsie knew what Hackett's impression was of her. Valeria was stunned for a moment before hugging Elsie back.
The next day, as expected, Tyler came to the Maddox family to pick Valeria up.
Valeria was still in bed, asleep.
When Julia knocked on the door, Valeria opened it sleepily, her eyes still half-closed. Julia said, "Miss Valeria, Mr. James' bodyguard is here to pick you up. He said you and Mr. James have something important to do this morning." "Something important?" Valeria wondered.
Valeria suddenly came to her senses.
"Remarriage!" Valeria thought.
Valeria was going to get remarried this morning.
However, when Valeria looked at the time, it was only 7 a.m. Valeria wondered why Tyler was so early.
"Got it. Tell him to wait for me in the car. I'll be down soon."
"Okay."
Julia nodded, then turned to leave.
