"Husband?" Valeria repeated the word with a hint of contempt and added, "Come on, Mr. Ex-husband, we haven't remarried yet. You haven't kept your promises."

Hackett's expression grew stern. He asked in a hushed tone, "By the way, has Kaden been on his best behavior these past few days?"

"He's just impossible to control. And on top of that, I discovered he mistreated Elsie. You need to take action swiftly, or Elsie won't hold out much longer." She replied. Things were already quite chaotic, and now with Kaden 'causing trouble, it was becoming even more of a headache just to think about it.

Hackett slid his hands into his pockets and remarked, "I truly didn't anticipate this young man having such a dual personality. He may seem timid to the outside world, but he's ruthless with his woman. Just as one might expect from the type Elsie has taken an interest in." "Furthermore, becoming part of the Maddox family isn't Kaden's ultimate aspiration. He's highly ambitious and still has his sights set on joining the Maddox Group."

The man sneered. "It was no small feat for someone like her, starting from the bottom. Naturally, she won't stop here."

"So many things have unfolded lately..." Valeria's face bore a wearied expression.

Hackett embraced her shoulders. "I've already located the hotel staff. I believe Kaden's time in the Maddox family will be coming to an end soon."

Valeria suddenly recalled something and looked up. "Wait! I forgot to share something crucial with you!"

"What?" Hackett asked.

"Elsie went through all that torment because Kaden recorded a video that night. If she doesn't obey him, he'll use the video to threaten her with online exposure. If that happens, everyone will find out, and Elsie Maddox's reputation will be irreparably damaged." This was an almost forgotten, yet highly critical matter. It was the primary issue that needed to be addressed. Without that video, Elsie Maddox wouldn't have to fear that despicable individual anymore.

Hackett raised an eyebrow. "He's even more despicable than I had imagined."

In the evening.

Valeria brought the baby back to the Maddox's villa, and to her surprise, Hackett followed her there as well.

"Hackett?" Clayton was eager to welcome his grandson but was a bit surprised to see Hackett.

Hackett remained silent. Valeria smiled and said, "Dad, Hackett would like to spend a few days with us. Is that alright? We do have plenty of vacant rooms, after all."

"Sure, but this place is very far from the company. Is it convenient for him?" Clayton Maddox was a little puzzled. What was this kid up to again?

Hackett replied, "Mr. Maddox, I've been apart from Alex for quite a while. I want to spend some time with him. I'll leave after a few days; I won't be a bother for long."
