"Mr. James, you... Valeria tried to find words, but she was at a loss, Barron had left her utterly speechless.
It seemed that she was having a particularly unlucky day, with both Barron and Hackett finding new ways to tease her.
Barron, on the other hand, was quite pleased with himself. He stood up and pulled Valeria to the table, urging her to sit down. "Come on, Valeria Sit. Be a good girl."
Then, he glanced disdainfully at his grandson, Hackett, and remarked, "You have no business here. Just do whatever you need to do. Don't be a nuisance. Valeria and I have things to discuss."
Valeria was utterly confused and turned to look at Hackett behind her.
Hackett took a seat directly across from her, suppressing his anger, and asked in a low voice. "What did you want to achieve by deceiving us into coming here?"
"You're mistaken I only wanted Valeria to come, not you. Didn't I say that? I want to introduce Valeria to a good man." Barron deliberately provoked Hackett across from him.
Hacken's brows furrowed instantly, His voice was laced with frustration. "This is absurd!"
Barron chuckled inwardly. He knew that Hackett still cared deeply for Valeria, even if he had not realized it.
Maintaining his composure, Barron replied, "How is this absurd? A few years ago, I handed Valeria over to you, thinking you were a responsible man. But what did you do? How did you treat her? How did you make her suffer? Now I've seen the light. If you two can't get along, so be it. I won't force it anymore. Since you can't provide happiness for Valeria, I'll find someone who can. That way, I can rest easy"
Hackett was speechless.
Barron shifted his gaze to Valeria, who was seated beside him. I know you don't like him and don't want to remarry him. I won't force it anymore. But you said you have someone else, which is clearly a lie. Do you think I can't see through that! So, I want to find a man who can truly bring you happiness.
"Mr. James, seriously, you don't need to do this for me. I can find someone on my own. You can't force relationships."
Barron's rapid change of stance left her at a loss for words. Just yesterday, he had insisted on arranging her and Hackett's reconciliation, and
