Chapter 12

Valeria struggled incessantly. She pounded the man's shoulder and angrily exclaimed, "You must be out of your mind! Who wants to get your attention?"

"Really? When we divorced, I offered you money, and you refused. Now you come running to earn my money. Don't you find that interesting?"

Hackett gripped her slender waist tighter with a hint of punishment.

He gazed at Valeria's face from such a close distance. And her eyes were clear and bright. Her skin was fair. Her little mouth moved, tempting him to get closer to her.

"I never wanted to! I didn't even want to take this case. It's..."

Valeria's words were cut off as Hackett emitted a cold laugh. Then he took out his phone and played the recording Cheryl had shared with him yesterday.

Valeria's expression instantly changed. She was shocked that Cheryl had recorded their conversation.

Observing her changing expression, Hackett felt somewhat disappointed. He gritted his teeth as he said, "Go on. Why did you stop? Didn't expect Cheryl to record you? These were your words. Are you going to deny them now?" That... was just in the heat of the moment. I never really meant it."

Then Valeria turned away, embarrassed.

She couldn't believe Cheryl had recorded her. At that moment, she had only been venting in the heat of the argument. She had no intention of reconciling.

Hackett abruptly turned her face back to him. Then he spoke sternly, "Do you think I'll believe that?"

"What do you want me to do to make you believe? I told you. It was just words said in anger. I never intended to remarry you, I finally escaped that mess. Why would I want to go back?"

After hearing that, Hackett thought, "Escape that mess?"

Hackett couldn't help but laugh in anger.

So many women who wanted to be with him but had no chance, Yet, Valeria called him a mess,

Suddenly, the sound of clothing being torn could be heard.

At that moment, Valeria's clothes were torn. Her eyes widened in shock as she screamed, "Hackett/"

"I want to see if your body is as honest as your words. You said you wanted to remarry, right? I'm giving you a chance to

prove it,"

With that, Hackett impulsively lowered his head and kissed Valeria's lips.

He had been fixated on Valeria's mouth for a long time. It seemed that it had a fatal attraction, enticing him to taste what it had to offer.
