Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 261

Valeria had nothing to say. She just watched Hackett explode in anger.

It had been a long time since she had seen him lose his temper

The two of them stared at each other. After some time, Hackett's phone vibration broke the deathly silence.

Hackett picked up his phone and said. "Speak. I understand. I'll be there right away! No one is allowed to give interviews. No one is allowed to speak out of turn!"

After hanging up the phone, Hackett calmed down and looked her. "I've said it before. I'm only responsible for finding out the truth of the matter. The rest is up to you. No one is forcing you. If the Maddox family pressures you into acknowledging them, you can let me know, I'll protect you. That's it for now. I live some matters to attend to at the company."

With that, he left without looking back.

Valeria was left alone in the empty living room, slumping onto the sofa.

She hadn't intended to take her frustration out on Hackett, but she couldn't control her emotions. Perhaps it was because she couldn'timmediately process all this explosive information.

Valeria sat on the sofa, feeling agitated and unsure how to calm herself down.

Her phone emitted the sound of a news notification, but she didn't have the mind to look at them now. She picked up the phone, intending to toss it aside.

However, she inadvertently caught sight of the news on the screen, which instantly diverted her attention.
