"Why do you think so?" Hackett inquired as he fixed his gaze on Simon, who appeared far from naive.

"To be able to investigate matters regarding Valeria, was someone intentionally manipulating the situation?"

Hackett pondered. Simon smiled, visibly impressed by Hackett's query as he thought, "No wonder he is head

over heels in love with Valeria,"

"Hackett, do you think your intelligence has waned due to love, or has Valeria already influenced you? Can't the

two DNA tests from Creyque and Emmerick serve as evidence? Why do you still seek my confirmation?" Simon

responded with exasperation. He had grown weary of being repeatedly questioned by Valeria and had presented

ample evidence.

Now harboring doubts, Hackett had pushed Simon to his limits despite his otherwise good temper.

Hackett stated, "It appears you are unaware of Valeria's past. Letenlighten you. Five years ago, Valeria and |

got married, although it was a discreet ceremony known to very few. Nonetheless, we were indeed wed. After a

year of marriage, we divorced, and she was already pregnant by then. She went to Emmerick for four years,

where she gave birth to the child before returning with the baby. So, may | inquire, where could she have found

tto be with you? | don't doubt something happened to you, and | sympathize with that, but you may have

the wrong person."

Hackett clarified that he did not suspect Simon was lying. Indeed, there was a woman who had entered Simon's

life, becpregnant, and given birth. However, he staunchly believed that this woman was not Valeria.

"lI understand you are seeking to clear Valeria's name. But how do you explain these two paternity tests?" Simon

commented.

Simon, who was not a smoker, lit a cigarette solely in light of the present situation's demands.

He had initially anticipated a straightforward trip to Creyque to retrieve the child or bring Valeria along. However,

Hackett had suddenly appeared, complicating everything.

"It's all a ruse. | think you might have incurred someone's wrath, or why else would they go to such lengths

against you?" Hackett pondered as he exhaled a cloud of smoke. The weight on his shoulders had gradually

lightened as he realized that this matter was unrelated to Valeria.

He did not believe that anything had occurred between Valeria and Simon. But after confirming it in person, he

could not hide his satisfaction.

"Why do you call it a ruse?" Simon inquired.

"Because | am the child's father," Hackett responded with unwavering confidence.

Simon said, "Then, showthe DNA test results."

Hackett James chuckled and said, "Do | even need to provide DNA test results? Haven't you seen my son?

Doesn't he resemble me?" "Not exactly. | think he resembles me," Simon replied.

Upon hearing this, Hackett was at a loss for words and silently cursed, "Fuck, how stubborn is he."

Hackett stood up and said, "It seems we cannot continue this conversation. Must | provide DNA test results to

end this harassment?"

Simon remained silent but kept his gaze fixed on Hackett, his eyes full of determination.

Hackett nodded and said, "Very well. | will have the DNA test conducted, and | will show you the results. | am

leaving now."

Communication with Simon had becfutile, so Hackett had opted to let the facts speak for themselves.

Furthermore, he wanted to avoid any physical confrontation with Simon, particularly since the James Group had

numerous business collaborations with the Lawrence family abroad.

Hearing Hackett's retreating footsteps, Simon extinguished the garette, leaned back on the couch, and narrowed

his eyes slightly.

The situation was growing increasingly complex. All the leads Simon had investigated pointed to the woman from

that night being Valeria, and the DNA test had indeed confirmed the child's paternity.

However, Valeria continued to deny it, and Hackett James vehemently refused to doubt his partner.

Back at the Maddox family, Valeria's family anxiously waited.

They were unaware of the outcof Hackett's conversation with Mr. Lawrence. Valeria could sense that

Lawrence was not an easy adversary. Besides, Hackett had a fiery temper, and any escalation could lead to an

all-out confrontation. Besides, Hackett had a fiery temper, and any escalation could lead to an all-out

confrontation.

Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Suddenly, the bedroom door swung open. Lying on the bed, Valeria looked up to see Hackett had returned.

She instinctively sat up, her face brimming with anticipation, and inquired, "How did it go?"

Hackett, who appeared highly impatient, removed his suit jacket, flung it onto the end of the bed, and angrily

exclaimed, "I have to undergo a DNA test for that gentleman!"

"What? Did he also request a DNA test from you?" Valeria deduced immediately and remarked, "I understand

now. | made him undergo two DNA tests, and he's likely grown weary of it, venting his frustration on you."

Hackett reclined on the bed, pulled Valeria into his arms, nestled in her neck, and savored her faint, clean

fragrance. He declared, "It doesn't matter. If a DNA test can rid us of this jinx, it's the simplest solution." Valeria

smiled helplessly and lowered her head to examine the man's straight nose and thick eyelashes. She reached

out and caressed his cheek, stating, "Mr. Ex-husband, you've worked hard."

The term "Mr. Ex-husband" grated on the ears.

The man's countenance darkened instantly, and he sat up, gazing at the woman in his embrace. "When can we

change that title? | dislike it; it's unsightly."

Valeria concurred, "All the truthful titles are unsightly."

Hackett remarked, "Then tella beautiful lie."

Valeria responded, "Regrettably, | don't know how to fabricate beautiful lies."

The man chuckled helplessly and lightly brushed her nose. "Valeria, how did | not realize how captivating you

are?"

"Future husband... this irritating man," Valeria muttered inwardly

"Go to sleep; I'm heading to bed too." Valeria pushed the man away, no longer wanting to engage with him, and

withdrew her finger.

Hackett suggested, "Where are you going? Stay here; it's not easy to enter, and even harder to leave."

"What kind of logic is that?" she responded, genuinely contemplating throttling the man.

"Valeria, don't keep pushingaway; | can grow weary of initiating everything," the man's gentle tone carried a

hint of playfulness. SEND G
