Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Tyler approached the hospital bed, eyeing the blood-stained back. He could not resist the urge to touch it. When his fingers. were about to make contact with the body, a chilling and terrifying warning of the man echoed in the air. "If you dare to touch it, I'll chop off your hand."

Tyler abruptly withdrew his hand, and Hackett, who had been lying there, opened his eyes. It was as if a sleeping beast had been disturbed, and his face displayed impatience.

"Ahem... I'll take my leave then. I have taken Cheryl to the police station, and we're following the proper procedures. Shell probably spend some time in custody. It's now a case of intentional harm. After speaking Tyler observed Hackett's expression and continued. "Mr. James, it's up to you now. If you press charges, Cheryl will stay in custody, but if you drop the charges, she can be released."

However, Tyler could not help but feel that Hackett might spare the wicked woman for the sake of her brother, Abbot. Hackett had a strong value in relationships, but there were lines he would not allow to be crossed, like now, when his bottom line was Valeria and Alex. There was silence in the room for a while, and the man finally spoke in a deep voice. "Let her go and relocate her somewhere else. I never want to see her again."

"Alright, you're showing mercy." Tyler had long expected this decision from Hackett.

As for Cheryl, she should really thank her lucky stars for having a good brother, or else Hackett would have punished her countless times already. Yet, she still naively believed that he spared her repeatedly out of affection.

The next morning, at dawn. Tyler went to the police station to bail out Cheryl and prepared to send her away from Alcomara.

Cheryl was currently in a frenzied state, feeling like everyone was out to get her. During the police interrogation, she almost got into a fight with the officers.

This is the last time Mr. James shows you mercy. From now on, you're on your own. Your current condition is a result of your own actions. You cannot blame anyone else," Tyler said expressionlessly.

Cheryl, in a dazed state, walked behind him, but her mood went into a rage when she heard his words. "Shut up! It's not your turn to lecture me! Back when I was in favor, Hackett did everything I said, and you were like a dog serving me. Now that I have fallen out of favor, do you think you can criticize me? You're not qualified: You're just a lapdog by Hackett's side."

Tyler could not help but furrow his brow with her words, Chery, now seemed like a mad dog, ready to bite anyone.

"You were in favor? When were you ever in favor? I did not even bother telling you, but Mr. James's actions were all because of your brother. You could have lived a carefree life relying on your brother's connections with Mr. James, but you aimed for the position of his wife. Honestly, you're too greedy, wanting too much." Tyler had been holding back for a long time. Cheryl used to take advantage of Hackett's favor and was impolite to him. Now that things had come to this, he finally let out his frustrations.

Cheryl was instantly crushed by the blow and angrily retorted, That's impossible! Hackett has feelings for me. It's not just because of my brother. I can feel the love in his eyes when he looks at me. Many times, she felt that there was love in Hackett's gaze, How could it be just because of her brother?

Tyler poured cold water on her again. "Get real. Mr. James looks at a lamppost with the same affection."

"You're talking nonsensel It's not possible!"

"Enough. Let's get going. I don't want to waste my breath on your Tyler pushed her into the car. He found it laughable to engage in a conversation with such a deranged person.

"Where are you taking met Cheryl asked as she sat in the car.

Tyler closed the car door and took the driver's seat. "I'm taking you to a place where you'll never see Mr. James again because he doesn't want to see you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheryl struggled to get out of the car, but the door was already locked. "Let me out! I want to get out of the car! I'm not leaving. Why should I? I want to stay here!"

"Cheryll I warn you not to make a scene! Things are different now. Mr. James won't protect you anymore. If you keep this up, no one will care about you. You'll end up wandering the streets, and the media will go after you. If you can handle those media reporters constantly hounding you about the former glamorous female celebrity who is now disfigured and living on the streets, go ahead and make a scene."

Cheryl quieted down instantly. She could not help but touch her own cheek. If Hackett no longer protected her, the media would indeed have a feast, reporting on her current sorry state and her disfigurement. It would be discussed by view nationwide. The thought of that scenario made her feel like she was going crazy.

She fell silent and sat quietly in the car, no longer making a fuss

At River Valley.

"Ella, why didn't Daddy come to pick me up! He promised to pick me up from school every day." Alex pouted, looking aggrieved.

Ella did not know how to explain and said, "Maybe Daddy has work to do, you know he's very busy,"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

At this moment, Valeria walked out of the bedroom, dressed in new dress and looking meticulously prepared, as if she were going out on a date.

Ella asked, "Valeria, are you going out?"

"Oh, I'm starting my own law office, so I'm going to some cocktail parties to meet a few big shots. I need to gain more clients. Now that I'm on my own, I have to take care of everything"

"Mommy, I want to go too!" Alex rushed over and hugged his mammy's shapely legs.

Valeria bent down, holding her son's chubby face'in her hands, and said, "Sorry, sweetie, but kids can't go there. When you grow up, okay?"

"Humph!" Alex let go of his mommy's legs, saying. Then you should call Daddy and ask him to pick me up. He promised to pick me up from school every day, and he did not come today. He's such a big liar."

Valeria hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to tell her son. After thinking it over, she decided to tell the truth.

She knelt down on one knee and looked at her son's face, which resembled the man very much. "Mommy will tell you the truth. Daddy is injured and in the hospital, so he could not come to pick you up from school today."

Alex's big round eyes widened instantly. "Daddy is in the hospital Why did he get hurt? I want to go to the hospital to see Daddy."

Father and son did share such a deep bond.

Valeria replied, "How about tomorrow? Dad needs rest today. He's quite seriously injured. Mommy will take you to see him tomorrow.

"Okay, Alex replied with a disappointed expression, but there was nothing else he could do but agree.

At the cocktail party.

Valeria attended the event, engaging in conversations with numerous big shots in the hopes of attracting clients for her law office. In the future, she would have to work hard for the office, taking a hands-on approach to every aspect of her business.
