Chapter 62
Valeria was instantly speechless. How could this man be so shameless?
What did Hackett mean by his words? He was too much.
Valeria looked annoyed. "Get dressed. 111 wait for you in the car
Valeria turned around and quickly left the room. As soon as she walked out of the door, she bumped into the servant who was about to enter. "Don't go in. He's changing Valeria stopped the servant.
The servant immediately stopped in her tracks. "Oh, I'm here to ask if Mr. Hackett wants breakfast. The breakfast is ready."
"Get me a sandwich and some milk. I'll bring it for him on the way?
"Okay, Ms. Sharp"
Valeria waited in the car for half an hour before Hackett walked over to open the door
Valeria suspected that this man was deliberately stalling for time, knowing that she was very anxious.
Hackett sat in the back seat and fastened his seatbelt. He instructed the driver, "Let's go, Be steady. I want to catch up on my sleep
The driver looked at Hackett in the rearview mirror and nodded. "Okay, Mr. James."
Hackett did not seem to intend to communicate with Valeria. He closed his eyes and planned to catch up on his sleep. Valeria glanced at the packed breakfast in her hand and poked Hackett's hard arm with her finger. "I asked the servant to pack breakfast. Have some. You haven't slept all night. If you don't eat, your stomach might feel uncomfortable,"
The man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Valeria, and said in a mocking and deep voice, "Seems like you're good at pretending to be caring, but unfortunately, it's for someone else
This man really didn't know what was good for him. Valeria was kind enough to care about him, but his words were so unpleasant.
Valeria couldn't take it anymore. She rolled her eyes at him. "Take it or leave it, Serves you right for having a stomachache" Valeria was, Hackett was so furious that he laughed. "You want me to help you find the little boy with such Seeing how angry an attitude?"
Valeria cowered again. If it wasn't for the sake of finding Alex, Valeria wouldn't have to suffer here.
Valeria suppressed her anger and smiled hypocritically. "Are you going to eat it or not? If not, I'll keep it for you. I'll take it out when you want to eat it."
Looking at Valeria's aggrieved expression and pretentious smile Hackett could not help but smile. Suddenly, he felt like playing a prank and said in a deep voice, "Who said I'm not eating? But I'm a little tired after staying up all night. I can't raise my arm. Feed me." Could the excuse be any worse?
Valeria could tell that Hackett was deliberately bullying her and making things difficult for her.
But in order to find Alex as soon as possible, Valeria endured it.
Mon, Nov 4
Valeria took out a sandwich and brought it to Hackett's lips. "Here, open your mouth."
The man's lips curled into a roguish smile. He slowly opened his mouth and took a bite of his sandwich, enjoying Valeria's

At the same time, in Downton City.
Ben was prepared to continue on his way with Alex early in the morning. His plan was to first cheat Cheryl of her money before sending the little boy back to Valeria.
As a biological grandfather, Ben couldn't bear to hurt his biological grandson.
"Boy, hurry up and eat. After breakfast, I will bring you somewhere else to play"
Alex obediently ate his soup. Although he seemed to admit that the man was his grandfather on the surface, he did not believe Ben at all.
"Grandpa, I want to go back and find Mommy. I miss Mommy.. Boohoo... Alex pretended to be aggrieved and pouted. Anyone who saw this would feel sorry for him
Ben's heart was about to melt, especially since this was his grandson who was related to him by blood. Ben coaxed patiently. "Be good. Let's go play another round before looking for your mommy, okay? I promise to bring you to see your mommy Alex blinked his grape-like eyes and nodded. "Alright! Grandpa, you're not allowed to lie to me! If you lie to me, I will dislike you!"
"Okay. I won't lie to you." Ben realized that he got along quite well with his little grandson. The more Ben looked at Alex, the more he liked him.
At this moment, Cheryl called.
Ben walked to the side to answer the call and glanced at the little boy behind him carefully.
"Are you still in Downton City?"
"That's right. I was just about to continue setting off with the child. Didn't you say that you wanted me to keep going south?"
"There's been a change in the plan. I'll pay you what I promised you, but when you reach the next location, throw the child away. It's best if it's in a mountainous area with underdeveloped information and transportation." "Throw him away? You're not going to rely on this child for ransom?"
Upon hearing that Cheryl asked him to throw Alex into the mountains, Ben was stunned.
What was this woman trying to do? Was she crazy? She actually wanted to throw Alex Valeria to never see her child again?
Wasn't it just a simple kidnapping? Why did it feel more and more strange?
...the mountains. Did she w
On the other end of the phone, Cheryl's voice was very calm. "Cut the crap and just do as I say. Otherwise, you won't get a single cent, and the police will find you."
"Alright. Anyway, I'm just doing what I'm paid to do. I'll do whatever you say."
"Okay, hurry up and leave with the child, Don't stay there for long. By the way, leave this phone in the hotel and go out to buy a new one.
Ben was confused, "Why is that?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Just do it. I'll transfer the first sum of money to you tonight."
With that, Cheryl hung up.
Ben was full of doubts. He could not understand what this woman was trying to do. At first, he thought that it was just a simple kidnapping case that would not hurt the innocent, and the woman only needed to take the ransom. Now, it almost felt like child trafficking.
Ben turned around and looked at Alex, whose face was covered in food crumbs. He said, "You're lucky to have met me. Otherwise, you would never have seen your mommy."
If someone else took this job and kidnapped Alex, wouldn't he be thrown into the mountains?
Ben wouldn't throw his grandson to such a godforsaken place.
After receiving the first sum of money tonight, Ben would send Alex back to Valeria. He didn't plan to ask for the rest of the
money.
After hanging up, Cheryl stood on the balcony of her house. As the morning breeze blew, her eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Actually, Cheryl wanted to kill that child and make him disappear from this world completely, but she did not dare to do so. If Cheryl asked the man to throw the child into that mountainous area, Valeria probably wouldn't be able to find him again. Valeria, don't blame me. Hackett, I just don't want to lose you... Cheryl muttered to herself.
Cheryl could not lose Hackett. She had been looking forward to it for so many years and was about to get him. How could she be willing to give it up at this time?
Moreover, no one in this world would love Hackett more than Cheryl.
Unfortunately, Cheryl did not expect the person in charge of kidnapping Alex to be Valeria's biological father,
