Chapter 458
After the client left, the assistant and the other staff members also left one by one and closed the door of the conference
room.
At this moment, only Hackett and her were left in the huge conference room. They could even hear each other's breathing.
Valeria finally could not take it anymore and asked, "Why did you call me here?"
"I wanted to see if you were a real lawyer."
She was slightly stunned and could not help but laugh out loud. It was because she was so angry that she laughed. She asked the man to investigate the truth and the first thing he did was investigate her.
"Why do you have to go to all this trouble? Why don't you just let me show you my lawyer's credentials? Besides, I've been sitting in here for the past two hours. How can you tell if I'm a real lawyer?" Why couldn't she keep up with the man's train of thought? What was he thinking?
Finally, the man stood up slowly and buttoned his suit. He slowly turned around and looked at her. "Have you eaten? If not, let's have a meal together."
Valeria was even more confused. "You asked if I've eaten or not. I ran over as soon as I received the call and sat in this conference room for two hours. When am I supposed to eat?" "Then let's eat together."
Hackett walked out of the conference room. Valeria looked at his back and was confused. What was he trying to do? Prank her?
However, she still followed the man to a famous private restaurant in Alcomara. The waiter served the food and left the private room.
Valeria looked at the elegant table manners of the man sitting across from her and could not help but ask, "You can eat with me without getting into a temper now?"
"Why not? Since you're so confident and I haven't found out the truth, of course I can."
"So why did you call me out today?"
Hackett picked up a small piece of beef and placed it in his mouth. His tone was cold and casual. "Do you have a photo of the child for me to see? I didn't find a photo of the child at home.
She said that the child was his, but he couldn't find a single photo of the child in the entire manor, let alone a photo of their family of three.
So he wanted to see the child's photo...
Only then did Valeria relax a little and say, "I see. There are no photos of the child in the manor. That's because we remarried not long ago, and I was separated from you for four years, so you didn't participate in the child's upbringing." "What? We remarried?"
Hackett looked puzzled and even found it unbelievable.
She picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip. "Yes. Not long before your car accident, we just remarried and got our marriage certificate. Only then can the child and I live in the manor legitimately. That is why there are no photos." 09:03 Tue, Dec
"Then why didn't I find any credentials at home that would prove our relationship?"
Hackett felt like the whole matter was ludicrous. She said that they were divorced but there was no sign of the divorce certificate. Now, she was telling him that they had remarried, but he couldn't find the marriage certificate either! Valeria held the cup of coffee and sneered. "You'll have to ask Yuri about that."
"What do you mean?" The man narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Valeria, waiting for her to continue.
Valeria raised her eyebrows slightly. "Why didn't Yumi let you return to the manor after you were discharged? It's because she wanted to go to the manor to take away all the important evidence before she dared to let you return. That's why you can't find anything now," There was a silence.
Hackett stopped talking. He really did not want to believe that the first person he saw when he opened his eyes would do such a thing.
"Why would she do that?"
Valeria smiled. She took the fork and picked up a piece of beef to taste. It was indeed not bad. She continued, "Because she wants to be your woman. Can't you tell that it's so simple? I've already said that she can lie to you but she can't lie to everyone. Go out and ask around. Who doesn't know how much you hate Yumi? How can you let her be your girlfriend?"NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
The man frowned and pursed his lips in silence. He carefully recalled Yumi's series of actions after he woke up. It seemed like she was indeed placing him under house arrest.
Suddenly, his phone started vibrating.
Hackett picked it up and took a look. It was from Yumi.
Valeria also noticed the call. She observed the man's facial expression and wondered if he would pick up.
The man looked at the phone in his hand and hesitated for a few seconds, but he still picked it up and put it to his ear. "What's the matter?"
"When I arrived at the manor, Ernest said that you went out. Where are you?"
"I'm near the office. Is something up?"
"It's nothing. I was just a little worried about you and wanted to see you. Can I meet you at the office?"
Hackett thought about it and did not refuse. "Alright. You can come to the company."
With that, he hung up.
Valeria, who was sitting across from him, turned expressionless. She was more or less a little disappointed. It seemed that the man did not believe what she said.
Valeria wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, picked up her bag, and stood up. "Then I'll leave first. I won't disturb your date."
"Who said I was dating her?"
"You've already asked her to come to the company to meet you. If it isn't a date, what is? I've already told you what she did, but you didn't believe me..."
Before Valeria could finish speaking, the man interrupted her. "You're the one who asked me to investigate the truth personally. If I don't get in touch with her, how can I investigate the truth?"

Was Hackett explaining to her?
Valeria's heart tightened and she could not help but smile. However, she still pretended to be cold and looked back at the man. "Then, you better investigate carefully. I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible. You don't have to doubt everything I say." With that, she turned around and left the private room.
Although Hackett had yet to recover his memory, he was at least starting to suspect Yumi. If he started to investigate Yumi, he would not be far from the truth.
By the time he found out the truth, he should have slowly accepted it and wouldn't suddenly be agitated.
The man sat at the dining table and looked at her empty plate. He muttered to himself, "She only ate a few mouthfuls and left. What a waste of this table of good food."
Hence, the man continued eating.
When Hackett returned to the office, Yumi had already been waiting in there for an hour.
He pushed open the office door and saw Yumi sitting on the couch in the reception area.
When Yumi heard the door open, she immediately stood up and turned around happily. "Hackett, you're finally back. They said that you went out to eat. I didn't expect it to take so long. Who did you go with?"
The man walked behind the desk, sat down, and said in a deep voice, "I ate with Valeria."
Upon hearing the name Valeria, the smile on Yumi's face instantly disappeared without a trace.
He actually went out to eat with that slut Valeria! What did this mean? Was Hackett starting to believe Valeria's words?
