Copyright infringement is your specialty. It shouldn't be difficult for you." "L... I have my difficulties. I hope you can understand, Valeria said.

As she Nicky on her spoke, Nicky's gaze lingered on was a exposed shoulder.

sa sleazy middle-aged man in his forties, Rumor had that he always liked getting handsy with the young girls in the law office.

"Is that so? Valeria, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me... As Nicky spoke, his hand had already reached for her fair and slender arm.

Valeria instinctively dodged. "Mr. Hunter, in any case, I just can't take on this case" Meanwhile, Hackett appeared at the dinner party. He was dressed in a black suit, with a tall and handsfigure, his handsfeatures covered in indifference.

He picked up a glass of red f red wine from a waiter's tray when his phone suddenly rang.

Hackett glanced at the screen. It was his grandfather calling He frowned and answered the phone, taking a sip of the red wine "Grandpa, what's wrong?" You bastard! Lettell you! As long as I'm alive, that actress Cheryl Yeats will never marry into the Jarnes family! The granddaughter-in-law of the James family is and will always be Valeria!" The moment t the phone just connected, Barron's hysterical roar cthrough.

Hackett couldn't help but hold the phone a bit further away. After Barron finished yelling, Hackett brought the phone back to his ear, showing a hint of impatience. "Grandpa, what are you causing a fuss about?" "That actress announced publicly on the media today that she's about to marry you. How dare she say that? If you dare secretly marry her, I'l break your legs! I promise!" After speaking, Barron hung up the phone directly, seemingly extremely angry. Hackett looked at the hung-up phone, his brows furrowed. Four years had passed, and his grandfather still recognized Valeria as his sole granddaughter-in-law, which confused and annoyed Hackett. Hackett really couldn't understand what was so good about Valena that she could gain the approval of all the elders in the - James family.

At that moment, a gentle female voice sounded. Hackett, you finally came. I've been waiting for you for so long."

Cheryl instantly blushed, looking aggrieved as she said, "Those reporters kept askingquestions, and I accidentally let it slip. Hackett, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

"Let's talk about it another time. Grandpa won't agree for now, Hackett said, finishing the remaining red wine in his tall glass.

Cheryl's sweet smile froze on her face. "What does he mean by Ter's talk about it another time?" she wondered. She had worked so hard to convince Hackett to agree to marry her, using so many tactics and putting in so much effort. And now he was telling her to talk about t another time? Even that tuseless ex-wife of his, Valeria, had been gotten rid of by Cheryl, but Cheryl still couldn't gain Barron's favor. Tears of grievance began to well up in Cheryl's eyes.

Just then, Hackett inadvertently looked up, and his gaze once again stopped in its tracks.

for the last four years! It was Valeria, his ex-wife, who had disa Hackett's dark eyes. Thus time, he saw it clearly. It was indeed Valeria.

A look of surprise and shock appeared in Hackett's gaze remained fixed that slender figure as if afraid that she would escape in the next second.

"Valeria, why don't you cto my place tonight? Let's chat about why you don't want to take this case. What do you think?" Nicky wa was trying to Valeria back home. He was incredibly man.

Valeria couldn't take it uldn't take it anymore. Going hwith this old pervert was like walking into a tiger's den, which would be very dangerous. It would be better for her to take the James Group case! She politely smiled and smiled and stepped back, trying to hold back the awkwardness and fear in her heart. "Mr. Hunter, I'll take this case, then I have something else to attend to. Fll leave now." At that moment, however, Valeria froze in place.

Hackett, moving fast through the crowd, was walking toward her with anger in his eyes.

toward her! Exactly! He was wan run into him again? Why was fate torturing her like this? Why did she hav did she have to run Valeria widened her eyes in fear and instinctively took two steps back, ending up in Nicky's embrace.

With an evil I smile, Nicky held her firmly and said, "Valeria, have you changed your mind? Do you want to chwithand talk?" "You've misunderstood. I'm going this way!" Valeria pushed Nicky away and quickly walked in the opposite direction "No, no, no!" she repeated inwardly. "I mustn't let Hackett catch me!"
