Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

2/3

Chapter 244

Tyler approached the hospital bed, eyeing the blood-stained back. He could not resist the urge to touch it. When his fingers. were about to make contact with the body, a chilling and terrifying warning of the man echoed in the air. "If you dare to touch it, I'll chop off your hand."

Tyler abruptly withdrew his hand, and Hackett, who had been lying there, opened his eyes. It was as if a sleeping beast had been disturbed, and his face displayed impatience.

"Ahem... I'll take my leave then. I have taken Cheryl to the police station, and we're following the proper procedures. Shell probably spend some time in custody. It's now a case of intentional harm. After speaking Tyler observed Hackett's expression and continued. "Mr. James, it's up to you now. If you press charges, Cheryl will stay in custody, but if you drop the charges, she can be released."

However, Tyler could not help but feel that Hackett might spare the wicked woman for the sake of her brother, Abbot. Hackett had a strong value in relationships, but there were lines he would not allow to be crossed, like now, when his bottom line was Valeria and Alex. There was silence in the room for a while, and the man finally spoke in a deep voice. "Let her go and relocate her somewhere else. I never want to see her again."

"Alright, you're showing mercy." Tyler had long expected this decision from Hackett.

As for Cheryl, she should really thank her lucky stars for having a good brother, or else Hackett would have punished her countless times already. Yet, she still naively believed that he spared her repeatedly out of affection.

The next morning, at dawn. Tyler went to the police station to bail out Cheryl and prepared to send her away from Alcomara.

Cheryl was currently in a frenzied state, feeling like everyone was out to get her. During the police interrogation, she almost got into a fight with the officers.

This is the last time Mr. James shows you mercy. From now on, you're on your own. Your current condition is a result of your own actions. You cannot blame anyone else," Tyler said expressionlessly.

Cheryl, in a dazed state, walked behind him, but her mood went into a rage when she heard his words. "Shut up! It's not your turn to lecture me! Back when I was in favor, Hackett did everything I said, and you were like a dog serving me. Now that I have fallen out of favor, do you think you can criticize me? You're not qualified: You're just a lapdog by Hackett's side."

Tyler could not help but furrow his brow with her words, Chery, now seemed like a mad dog, ready to bite anyone.

"You were in favor? When were you ever in favor? I did not even bother telling you, but Mr. James's actions were all because of your brother. You could have lived a carefree life relying on your brother's connections with Mr. James, but you aimed for the position of his wife. Honestly, you're too greedy, wanting too much." Tyler had been holding back for a long time. Cheryl used to take advantage of Hackett's favor and was impolite to him. Now that things had come to this, he finally let out his frustrations.
