Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 343

As she reacted so strongly, Kaden became even more convinced of his inner thoughts.

Elsie really didn't like him anymore.

Elsie had fallen for Hackett, her brother-in-law..

Elsie looked at Kaden's gaze fixed on her, feeling very uneasy, even finding her explanations feeble.

Elsie shouted angrily, "I said no means no! Stop spreading rumors! I would never steal a man from my own sister! Even if they get divorced, I would never entertain such thoughts!"

In reality, these words were more like reminders to Elsie herself reminding herself not to succumb to Hackett's charm.

Kaden flashed a slight smile, "Elsie, I believe you. I will always believe you."

But behind that smile, Kaden concealed an insatiable greed.

Whether Elsie liked him or not didn't matter as much as him becoming a son-in-law of the Maddox family, by any means necessary.

"Kaden, you..." Elsie didn't know how to react, overwhelmed by guilt.

"Elsie, I believe everything you've said. Don't worry. Even if they investigate me, I won't reveal your involvement. This doesn't concern you, to begin with." Elsie remained silent, only staring at Kaden.

This made Kaden feel that Elsie was deeply wary of him now. In any case, Elsie was not willing to marry him, but that couldn't be allowed.

Kaden had to find a way to make Elsie marry him sooner. The longer this dragged on, the less likely they were to get married.

Kaden grabbed Elsie's hand and slowly leaned in to kiss her, but Elsie quickly dodged.

"Don't do this. It won't look good if my family sees us. I have to go back." Elsie said and turned to run.

Kaden watched her hurried retreat and sneered, "Whether you love me or not doesn't matter, but I must become your husband. You have no choice." At the James Manor.

After Hackett returned, he looked at the vast estate and found it utterly boring.

Alfred approached him from behind, "Mr. James, would you like to have a meal, or perhaps take a bath, or soak in the hot spring?"

The man glanced at him, "Naomi isn't soaking in the hot spring today?"
