Chapter 390

Kaden concealed his inner delight, believing that Hackett had fallen into his trap. He knew he had to stir up some turmoil for Hackett and Valeria, ensuring they would be too preoccupied to interfere.

"Indeed, if we are to collaborate, it hinges on your ability to orchestrate the situation. After all, I remain unaware of the events that transpired between you and Valeria, and the reasons behind her profound fear of you." For the past few days, he had been contemplating this question le had harbored a deep-seated desire to leverage this information as a tool to intimidate Valeria.

However, Valeria appeared to be indifferent to it all. "Why did she feel the need to confine herself to her home all day?" he thought.

It was only when Hackett returned that Valeria mustered the courage to venture outside with the child. He couldn't fathom that there was nothing amiss in this situation. Simon remained silent, his gaze fixed unwaveringly upon Kaden.

An air of unease settled upon them, creating an awkward atmosphere. Kaden could sense that Simon was reluctant to divulge his personal affairs.

Kaden thought to himself, "Never mind. Perhaps it's best not to pry further. My intention was simply to utilize this man as a means to delay Valeria and Hackett."

"Apologies for my excessive inquiries. How about this instead? I am willing to work for you, assisting you in any way you desire. After all, it is rather convenient for me to navigate in and out of the Maddox family at present."

In his thoughts, Kaden acknowledged, "Above all else, I remain unaware of Mr. Lawrence's intentions. Even if I were inclined to cooperate, I wouldn't know how to align our efforts."

Simon's deep gaze lingered on him for a prolonged moment before he inquired, "What is your grievance against Valeria?"

"It's nothing significant. Being a son-in-law living under the same roof, it's not uncommon for her to have some dislike towards me. However, she constantly singles me out and attempts to drive a wedge between my wife and me. I cannot tolerate such behavior. I suppose... your objective is likely to pursue Valeria, am I correct?"

Kaden asked tentatively.

When a man became so fixated on a woman, there were typically only two possibilities. Either he harbored a profound love for her, or he despised her to such an extent that he sought revenge.

Kaden contemplated, "Could it be that Valeria had betrayed Mr. Lawrence? It is plausible, considering she had been abroad for four years, as I've heard. There might be some truth to it."

Simon's smile widened. "You're quite astute. However, I have no interest in Valeria herself. My focus lies on the child. Naturally, if the child cannot thrive without her, I will take her along, regardless of her desires." Kaden was taken aback. "He wants her child?

"Wasn't this child Hackett James's? Why does he desire Hackett James's child?"

"I apologize for stating the obvious, but do you have knowledge of the true parentage of this child? I'm afraid it won't be a simple task for you to separate Hackett from his child in this situation."

For a brief moment, Kaden failed to comprehend Lawrence's implication.
