Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 255

Keith smiled and shook his head. "It's alright. As long as I see your doing well. I'm at ease."

She smiled in response and didn't say anything more.

Keith continued, "By the way, did you know that Hackett's engagement banquet is coming up soon! He even sent me an invitation because I've had previous collaborations with Mr. Clayton."

"Is that so? I didn't know, Well, congratulations to him. I don't really care." She feigned to be indifferent.

Valeria stopped in her tracks, turned back, and said, "Yes. I've already let it go. No matter what, we're not suitable for each other. There's no need to waste each other's time."

With that said, she left without looking back
