Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 40

When Valeria returned, she saw that the bodyguards had beaten up the kidnapper badly.

She didn't dare to look any longer, so she took her phone and ran away.

She walked out of the nightclub and flagged down a taxi. Just as he was about to call Jepson, her phone rang.

It was Keith calling.

Valeria picked up the call. "Hello..."

"Valeria, where are you? Jepson said that he couldn't get through to you for the entire night. Alex has been with him. What's going on!"

Keith sounded a little anxious on the phone. It seemed that he had been looking for Valeria for a long time, too.

Jepson stood behind Valeria and Alex, leaning against the door frame. Valeria stood up and held Alex's hand. "I'm sorry. I was delayed by something today. I'll take Alex home now. You should rest early, too."

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, another man's voice came from the apartment.
