Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 332

Holding a curious attitude, Elsie walked into the villa, but Tyler stood still by the car outside and did not move.

Turning back with some confusion, Elsie looked at Tyler and asked, "Aren't you coming in with me?"

How came Tyler, who usually sticked by Hackett's side, was standing outside waiting? It was so strange.

Tyler lazily leaned against the car and crossed his arms. "No need. Besides, you'll have to come out in a while, and I have to take you back. Plus, there's no need for me to go in. I don't think you can do anything to Mr. James." From Tyler's disdainful tone, it seemed he didn't take Elsie seriously at all.

Elsie snorted and turned around to walk into the villa.

When Elsie entered the villa, she found it empty. Was Hackett not there?

Elsie looked around but did not see the man. She couldn't help but call out, "Hackett? Hackett? I'm here. Where are you?"

Suddenly, footsteps echoed from upstairs. Elsie instinctively looked up, seeing a man in a black suit standing at the railing, looking down at her with a serious expression as if contemplating something. Hackett took a step and descended the stairs slowly.

For some reason, Elsie began to feel nervous, swallowing hard. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Tyler said you wanted to see me."

At this time, as Hackett walked down, heading toward the living room, he said, "Have a seat first. There are some things I need to discuss with you."

However, Elsie, hands clutching the sides of her skirt, walked stiffly to the sofa and sat down.

The atmosphere was a little tense, and the entire villa seemed so quiet that one could hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground.

Elsie had to admit that Hackett's imposing presence was undeniable. She dared not lift her couldn't even take a deep breath.
