Chapter 6

It had been four years since Valeria had set foot in this old mansion, and there was an inexplicable sense of sadness in her heart. Valeria couldn't help but furrow her brows, recalling many memories.

Hackett led her to the garden, and from a distance, she saw the aged figure of Barron. Instantly, tears welled up in her eyes.

Upon hearing footsteps, Barron turned around and saw his infuriating grandson. He coldly snorted, "What are you back for? Get lost!"

Hackett, his tall figure blocking Valeria beside him, stepped to the side and said in a deep voice, "You don't want to see me Grandpa. But you always want to see her, right?"

Hearing this. Barron turned his head again, his face filled with shock. "Valeria? Is that you?""

Yes. Mr. James. It's me." Valeria's voice choked up.

Barron was instantly overjoyed, leaning on his cane as he walked toward her, but then he frowned. "Where have you been these four years? I couldn't find you anywhere! And why did you divorce Hackett? I can't understand. Didn't you promise that you wouldn't divorce him no matter what happened?"

Hackett, seeing his grandfather's excitement, was speechless. It seemed as if Valeria was the James family's granddaughter, and he was the one who was adopted.

"Mr. James, I'm sorry... I... I disappointed you," she apologized in a low voice. Initially, she had promised Barron that she wouldn't divorce Hackett, no matter what happened.

However, Hackett had made another woman pregnant. What could Valeria do if she didn't divorce him? There was no

choice!

"Valeria, tell me, did this scoundrel force you to divorce him? You're a well-behaved girl, and I know this scoundrel's true colors. Tell me the truth today!" Barron looked at her expectantly, refusing to believe that Valeria would go back on her word Hackett narrowed his eyes warningly at Valeria as if telling her to speak properly.

Valeria didn't even want to look at Hackett, but she knew that Barron was innocent. She didn't want Barron to worry about her anymore.

"Mr. James, we had a peaceful divorce. I don't love him anymore, and he doesn't love me either, so we divorced. No one forced anyone," she said with a smile, hoping that Barron could find peace.

Unexpectedly, Barron exploded with rage. "How is that even possible? Have you forgotten what you told me before? You said you would love Hackett forever, even if he didn't love you. How could you change your mind like this? I don't believe it! This scoundrel must have forced you to divorce him, and he must have told you to say these words to me, right?"

"Mr. James. That's not true."
