Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Upon seeing her father's unwavering belief, Elsie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Clayton patted his daughter's shoulder and said. "Elsie, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on hirn. I'll only give him what he wants when he's wholeheartedly devoted to loving only you. Otherwise, he won't get anything"

Was this enough to deceive him? Phew... Elsie couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in her heart, but pretended to be impatient on the surface. "Dad, do you really think this will work Even if we can control him for a while, can you control him for a lifetime! Do you plan to withhold what he wants until he's old? Do you think he has the patience for that? After marriage, you have to fulfill your promises. By then, can we control him if he's seeing other women?"

If she could convince her father to cancel the engagement, it would be perfect.

Clayton contemplated for a long time and finally said, "You just focus on preparing for the engagement ceremony. Leave the rest to me. Hackett must be your husband. He has no choice. The James family is relying on him now. With such a vast family business, he needs assistance, so at least for the next ten years, he won't dare to betray us" Elsie had nothing to say. Her father was so persistent.

Suddenly, she thought of Kaden, who was still living in that abandoned factory, dark and freezing. She wondered if Hackett would fulfill his promise if Kaden could hold on until the end of the month.

After returning home, Valeria felt an inexplicable anger rising within her. It was truly inexplicable. Clayton and Elsie seemed determined to embarrass her.

She believed that Elsie's words were meant to test her, to see if her relationship with Hackett had truly ended. If that were the case, Valeria would be even more furious. It was utterly absurd

She was fed up with being harassed by Elsie for no reason. She could not help but pick up her phone to tell Hackett to take care of his fiancée. However, she realized that Hackett might still be suffering in the hospital from the sulfuric acid attack, so she put her phone down. After all, sulfuric acid was involved, and his back was covered in wounds. How could it not hurt?

She did not know how Hackett would handle Cheryl this time, and whether Cheryl would come out and cause trouble again in the future. Little did she know that at this moment, Hackett was not in the hospital recovering but in his office conducting a high-level meeting. At the James Group

After a three-hour-long meeting, Hackett returned to his office. He had been sitting rigidly for three hours, unable to lean back in his chair due to the pain in his back,

"Mr. James, shall I get the private doctor to apply the medicine for you? I'm just a clumsy man. I can't handle this kind of thing Tyler suggested, staring at the pile of ointments and disinfectants with a headache. As a burly man, he was not capable of doing this, and he was ready to take the blame even if he were scolded.

Hackett took off his suit jacket and began to unbutton his shirt from top to bottom, saying expressionlessly. "It's already too late. Just do it."

Tyler could not help but swallow hard, as this was truly too difficult for him. It would have been better to let him stay up all night

Hackett, bare-chested, sat to the side, waiting to be treated. Tyler took a glance at the wounds on his back, which were truly gruesome. Hackett had paid a heavy price for playing the hero.

"Hurry up!" Hackett began to show impatience.

"Okay, I'm coming." "Tyler said, picking up the disinfectant and cotton swab with a worried look.

G

However, at that moinent, Nancy suddenly pushed open the office door and froze at the sight before her Hackett instinctively grabbed his shirt and quickly put it back on, ignoring the pain from his wounds. He frowned and buttoned 1. up.

"Do Vos

you think you're my wife? You come in without knocking?" Hackett's tone was dripping with sarcasm.

Nancy, feeling embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. James. There's an urgent document that requires your signature. I forgot to mention it earlier. I'm really sorry. It was not intentional. Il leave and knock right now" After that, Nancy was about to leave, but Hackett appeared impatient, saying, "That's enough. Bring it here."

Nancy had no choice but to walk over with the document. She handed it to him, and the man signed his name with elaborate strokes.

"I'm sorry. Mr. James. I'll make sure to knock next time, Nancy said, then prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly. Tyler called her back, saying, "Walt a moment, Miss White. Um, could you help Mr. James apply the medication? I'm a big guy, and I'm not cut out for this kind of thing. I'll go deliver the document for you."

With that, Tyler took the document from Nancy's hand and slipped away without looking back. He did not dare to see Hackett's expression at this moment, which he assumed must be quite unpleasant. Still, he could not handle the task of applying medication, even if it meant getting punished.

The office door closed, leaving only Nancy and Hackett.

"Mr. James, are you injured?" Nancy suddenly remembered that when she entered the office earlier, she seemed to have seen a bloodstain on Hackett's back.

Hackett's eyes turned cold. "I warn you. Don't talk about it, or you won't be working here anymore." He was somewhat puzzled. Why hadn't this actress sent by Finn left yet? He had already instructed the human resources department to find a reason to dismiss Nancy, so why was she still in the company?

Nancy nodded. "Mr. James, let me apply medication for you. I promise I won't say anything

Hackett hesitated for a moment. Applying medication himself was quite troublesome, and he did not have time to go to the hospital Plus, that trash, Tyler, had slipped away. If he didn't apply medication and disinfect the wound, it might become infected. "Hurry up. I have another meeting to attend. With that, he took off his shirt. Nancy couldn't help but steal a glance at his sexy chest and abs. At that moment, she was truly stunned and felt her heart race.

Hackett turned around, revealing a back covered in wounds as if they were burns or scalds. Although they werent severe. they were scattered all over.

Nancy couldn't help but ask, "Mr. James, how did you get these injuries? What happened?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Do your job, apply medication, and then leave," The man said, closing his eyes, unwilling to answer any more questions.

Nancy could only respond with a nod, then carefully disinfected and applied medication, afraid of causing any pain to Hackett. After about ten minutes, she finished her work, and Hackett opened his eyes. He quickly put on his shirt and suit jacket. Nancy couldn't help but remind him. "Mr. James, keeping the wound covered like this might affect its healing. You should rest for a few days....

"You can leave now." Hackett interrupted, returning to his office table and picking up some documents to review

Nancy nodded and turned to leave.

G TO.

Unexpectedly, Hackett sted. Didn't I tell you i

resig? Why are you still here?"

"Mr. James, I need this job. Please let me stay." Nancy turned around, looking quite pitiful. Any man who saw her like this would feel sorry for her, but not Hackett.

He replied. "Resign, and I'll recommend you to other companies where you'll receive double the salary"
