Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 341

"Why are you here too? Have you already considered yourself a son-in-law of the Maddox family?" Valeria crossed her arms and looked at Kaden, mocking him.

This time, it wasn't Kaden's turn to speak. Elsie spoke first, "Kaden hasn't become a son-in-law of the Maddox family, but you haven't officially returned to the Maddox family either. What gives you the right to judge him?" Kaden looked at Elsie with gratitude in his eyes. He knew he still had feelings for her but was afraid of falling out of favor, which is why he wanted to keep his distance.

However, to be honest, Elsie wasn't trying to defend Kaden. She just didn't like Valeria.

"Elsie! How dare you talk to Valeria like that!" Clayton was furious.

Elsie had to swallow her anger, but she was seething inside.

Valeria, on the other hand, didn't get angry. She just laughed. "So, are you planning to marry Kaden? My next words might affect your relationship, so maybe your fiancé should step aside for a moment."

"I'll say it again! We don't have any plans to get married!" Elsie gritted her teeth. She didn't want anything to do with Kaden right now

"Elsie, don't argue with your sister. I'll step aside," Kaden said. He knew what Valeria was going to say, but since she asked him to step aside, he obliged.

But Elsie grabbed Kaden's arm. "You don't need to step aside! Stay here!"

Then Elsie turned to Valeria. "If you have something to say, say it in front of us. We haven't done anything wrong, and we have nothing to hide!"

Valeria laughed again, glanced at Hackett, and said, "Can I speak now?"

Hackett, with an indifferent expression, sat down on the sofa as if he had nothing to do with it. "Of course, you can. Say whatever you want. The goal is to uncover the truth."

Clayton and Loretta exchanged confused glances, completely puzzled by what these young people were talking about. "Mr. Hardin, is my kidnapping last night related to you?" Valeria didn't beat around the bush and asked directly. "Ms. Sharp, what are you saying? You can't joke about something like that. How could it possibly be related to me?" Kaden's innocent and pure appearance fooled Clayton and Loretta, but it didn't fool Hackett, who was sitting on the sofa, observing.
