Chapter 391

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Simon.

She could even anticipate what Simon was going to say. After hesitating for a long moment, she picked up the call.

Before Valeria could speak, Simon, who was on the other end of the phone, said, "What else do you have to say now? Is it time to fulfill your promise?"

She suddenly thought, "What is my promise?" prompted by his reminder.

Valeria bit her lower lip and was about to break down. She patiently explained to the man on the phone again, "Mr. Lawrence, I really have to give it to you. I think you did it on purpose, since it's not that you don't know. You deliberately wanted to snatch my child away and created so many fake paternity tests. You really put in a lot of effort. I really don't understand why you want to snatch my child away. Do you have a grudge against Hackett?" That was the only logical explanation she could think of.

She thought, "He wanted to snatch the child away to take revenge on Hackett because he had a deep grudge against Hackett."

"Are you seriously going to break your promise again?" Simon fumed.

"I don't have much to say, but I need to be clear: the child isn't yours. If you have issues with Hackett, confront him directly. Taking it out on a child is not the way of a true man." Having said that, Valeria angrily ended the call.

She thought, "Mr. Lawrence was undeniably skilled. He could manipulate the outcomes of the parent-child hypothesis abroad, and he could equally manipulate them here in Creyque At the same time.

On the other end, Simon sneered at the call's abrupt end. He had anticipated that this woman wouldn't admit to it.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

"I've met all her demands. I've given it my all. Now, our only option is to resort to our own methods to secure the child," Simon responded. "Yes, sir."

Valeria stormed into Hackett's room. At that moment, he was peacefully asleep in his bed, having worked until midnight the previous night. "Hackett, wake up."
