Hackett sneered. "A man can afford to be shameless. What's most important is that we achieve our goals."

Valeria was completely speechless. There was no way to communicate with this man at all. Valeria could not be bothered to talk to him any further and planned to hang up. Unexpectedly, the man on the other end of the phone said, "If you don't want to be our legal consultant, come and reject me in person. Otherwise, I'll insist on my decision." "Hackett James! Just you wait!"

"What time are you coming over? I'm working late in the office. I can wait for you for a while." Hackett said.

"This can wait until I'm available. Maybe it will be in the middle of the night. If you can wait in the office until the middle of the night, I'll definitely come to look for you." With that, Valeria hung up.

Valeria didn't believe that this damn man would wait for her in the office until midnight. After hanging up, Valeria continued her work.

Alex, who was sitting opposite Valeria, saw that she was very angry and blinked his cute round eyes. "Mommy, who are you angry with?"

I'm not angry. Watch another episode. I will be done soon and we can go home."

"Okay!" Alex answered.

Hearing her son's answer, Valeria could not help but smile. Only this kid could make Valeria smile instantly.

Therefore, Valeria had to keep Alex by her side. Valeria would never give Alex's custody to a dispicable father like Hackett. He was not worthy of it. Hackett could continue to keep a scheming bitch like Cheryl by his side. After Valeria was done with her work, she brought Alex back home to Starry Bay.

Valeria made a simple dinner. After eating, she showered Alex and coaxed him to sleep. By then, it was almost 10 pm.

Valeria went downstairs and was about to go to the kitchen to get a bottle of water when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Valeria figured that it was probably Ella who had returned.

Valeria opened the bottle of water and took two sips before walking to the living room. "Ella, you're back..."
