Resumption 402
"Accelerate and follow the car up front," Hackett ordered the driver.
The driver nodded. "Okay."
Hence, their car followed the other car closely from behind.
Tia quickly realized that a car was following her, and it was Hackett's car!
She began to panic and wanted to shake off the other car, but the car followed closely until the next traffic light. She deliberately timed it so she was able to pass the green light while the car from behind was stuck waiting on the red light and was unable to come over.
Seeing that she had shaken off Hackett's car, Tia's lips curled up and she let out a long sigh.
At this moment, Hackett's expression was ugly. He ordered the driver, "Go to the Knight Boulevard District."
He remembered that the house rented by this woman was in this neighborhood.
Hence, the driver drove Hackett to this neighborhood. Hackett arrived at the 17th.floor and pressed the doorbell, but no one opened the door for a long time.
At this moment, the neighbor opposite opened the door and said, "Sir, are you looking for the occupant living in the other apartment?"
"Yes. Is she not home?" Hackett looked back and asked.
The neighbor kindly reminded him. "A few days ago, I rented it to a beautiful woman, but that woman suddenly moved away two days ago, so the house is empty again."
"She moved away?" Hackett thought.
Hackett narrowed his eyes. There had to be something wrong with this woman.
Otherwise, why would she be in such a hurry to move? Wasn't it because she was afraid he would discover her?
Back with the Maddox family, today was the day of the divorce negotiation. Clayton called a lawyer and was prepared to sign the divorce agreement today. Of course, this was under the premise that Kaden was cooperative. Elsie didn't want to come face to face with Kaden, so she went back to her room and hid.
Clayton called Valeria over because Valeria was also a lawyer and could listen in and analyze the pros and cons with him.
He only trusted his own people now.
After Valeria brought Alex back to the Maddox family, Loretta took the child to the garden to play Loretta didn't want to be present for what was about to happen. She felt disappointed and vexed by it.
Therefore, only Clayton, Valeria, and their lawyers negotiated the divorce with Kaden.
Kaden arrived at the Maddox family on time. The butler brought him to the study.
"Dad, I'm on time, right? However, we're discussing the divorce today. Why isn't Elsie here in person?" Kaden completely exposed his true nature. He was no longer as gentle and refined as before. Instead, he was like a hooligan. Clayton felt a headache whenever he saw Kaden. "Elsie doesn't want to see you and left it to me and her sister."

"Ha! Didn't she love me to death in the past? Now that we're divorced, love truly will disappear." Kaden sat on the chair opposite to them and crossed his legs.
Clayton glanced at the lawyer. The lawyer took out the divorce agreement that he had prepared long ago and handed it over. "Mr. Hardin, please read the divorce agreement carefully. If there aren't any problems, please sign your name." Kaden picked up the divorce agreement with a disdainful smile.

He had only been the Maddox family's live-in son-in-law for a few days, but he was now about to be chased out of the house. He had not achieved any of his great goals. What a joke.
After reading the divorce agreement, Kaden smiled and threw the agreement on the table. He said, "Aren't you guys bullying me a little too much? After all, I've pandered to your daughter for several years and been the son-in-law of the Maddox family for several days. You actually made me leave with nothing. Why are you so petty when you have such a big family business?"
Kaden thought that he would at least be given some decent assets, but he didn't expect that they didn't intend to give a single cent and they wanted him to leave with nothing.
In order to successfully marry Elsie, Kaden had already spent all his savings. There was no way he would go through with the divorce without getting a single cent.
Clayton was furious. He slammed his palm on the table, but Valeria grabbed her father's arm and hinted at him to calm down with her eyes.
Valeria smiled and looked at Kaden. "My father was the one who created such a big family business. What does it have to do with you? Have you put in any effort for such a big family business? Moreover, you've only been married to Elsie for less than a month. What right do you have to ask for money? The two of you didn't buy any real estate after you got married, let alone the common property shared by a married couple. So what money do you want?"
Even the lawyer on the sidelines was stunned, but it saved him the trouble even without him saying anything. He waited quietly on the side.
Kaden got angry when he saw Valeria. This was all because of Valeria's meddling. Otherwise, he would still be sitting firmly in the seat of the Maddox family's son-in-law. He might even have already entered the Maddox Group.
"What does my relationship with Elsie have to do with you? Do you have to interfere in everything?"
Valeria smiled brightly. "You probably forgot that I'm also a part of this family. This is my family! Kaden Hardin! If you know what's good for you, sign the papers. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
"Do you really think that Hackett deleted all the videos? What if I still have a backup? If I upload the videos online, I'm afraid your Maddox Group shares will be affected."
Kaden had already reached the point of insanity. Other than money, he didn't care about anything else. If he were to obediently get a divorce, his life would only be worse in the future. At that time, who would pity him?
"It's a pity that you don't have one. If you had a backup, you would have sent it out long ago. You wouldn't have waited until now," Valeria said.
"I won't sign this agreement. I'll see you in court. I won't sign such an unfair agreement." With that, Kaden stood up and was
about to leave.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, low footsteps came from outside the study, as well as the man's ruthless voice. "It isn't up to you whether you sign or not!"
This voice, it belonged to Hackett!
Upon hearing Hackett's voice, Kaden subconsciously froze on the spot. After all, Hackett was the very man Kaden feared the

most.
Hackett walked into the study and saw Kaden frowning. Hackett smiled and said, "Are you not used to seeing me here? Do you think I can't control this matter? I'm sorry, we're remarried. I'm the Maddox family's eldest son-in-law now. I really have the right to interfere in this matter."
"You!" Kaden wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to anger Hackett. He was afraid of being beaten u
After all, this man was capable of doing anything.
"Kaden, I advise you to sign this divorce agreement obediently. Otherwise, you will end up in a very miserable state," Hackett said expressionlessly.
"What can you do to me?" Kaden didn't think much of it. Could it be that Hackett thought he was all-powerful?
Hackett sneered. "Do you think I hacked into your computer, stole your various accounts, and only deleted those videos? I also found a secret that you don't want anybody to know."
"What did you find?" Kaden was a little panicked. He thought of all the secrets he had hidden in his computer. He thought it was they had all been cleaned up.
Hackett scoffed. "For example, secret videos taken of you dating students, or helping students cheat. Tsk, I didn't expect your private life to be so exciting. If I make these things public, I'm afraid you'll lose your teaching job in university. Do you think it's worth it?"
