Chapter 361 

“Let go of me!” Elsie struggled to leave Kaden’s embrace, but Kaden hugged her even tighter. 

“Elsie! I won’t allow you to hurt yourself like this! You don’t have to do this! Really! Forget about those things. That person will never appear in front of you again. Just don’t think about that matter anymore!” 

Elsie glared at Kaden with bloodshot eyes. “How can I forget? That truly happened. Tell me how to forget! Get lost! Leave me alone!” 

“Yes, you can. Elsie, please forget about this. Can we live our life in the future?” Kaden tried to calm her down and comforted her with a gentle voice. 

Elsie cried and shook her head. “I can’t do it. I can’t do it. I really can’t do it…” 

“Elsie, let’s get married. I’ll use the rest of my life to heal your psychological trauma, okay?” Kaden stared at her sincerely. 

Elsie looked at Kaden and was touched by his sincere gaze. She asked, “Won’t you despise me?” 

She was tainted by an old man. Even she despised herself. However, Kaden never left her. 

Kaden smiled and tidied her messy, long hair. “No, I will never despise my Elsie. My Elsie is the cleanest in my heart.” 

“Kaden…” 

No woman could resist a man’s gentleness at such a time. It was like a light in the darkness. 

Kaden’s face slowly approached her. This time, Elsie did not dodge. Instead, she chose to close her eyes and accept the man’s kiss. 

The moment he kissed her lips, Kaden smiled. He knew that he was one step closer to success. 

The next day. 

Hackett came to work at James Group as usual. There had been a lot of things going on recently, and with Clayton’s help, he should be able to get back the shares that belonged to his grandfather soon. 

After a busy morning, he was about 

“Mr. James, what do you want to 

eat

go 

for lunch. 

for lunch? Do you want to order takeout, or…” 

Before the secretary could finish speaking, the man instructed, “Go to the canteen and get a random serving for me. I don’t have much of an appetite.” 

“Okay.” 

After a while, the secretary entered the office with a plate. She placed the plate on the reception area’s coffee table and left. 

The man had been sitting behind his desk and staring at the computer screen. No one knew what he was looking at. 

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence. 

The man raised his head and looked over. His face, which looked cold and handsome, suddenly had a hint of warmth. The corners of his lips curled up, “What brings you here?” 

Valeria walked into the office and closed the door. She said, “My studio is being renovated. I went to the construction materials city and came here on the way back.”

Chapter 361 

At this moment, Hackett slowly got up and walked toward the reception area. 

Valeria sat on the sofa and saw the rich delicacies on the plate. She had been hungry all morning, and her stomach was growling. 

“Is this your lunch?” 

“Yes. I told my secretary to get a random serving from the canteen. I haven’t had time to eat yet. Have you eaten? Let’s go out and eat,” Hackett said. 

Valeria put the bag aside and picked up the fork. She lowered her head and smelled it. “It smells so good. Let me try it.” 

Hence, she picked up a small piece of beef and took a bite. She was pleasantly surprised and said, “The chef in your company’s canteen is good. It’s delicious. This is much better than the one outside.” 

Then, she picked up the man’s lunch and started eating. 

Hackett chuckled helplessly and said, “Is that so? Then you can come over every day to freeload.” 

“Hmm… This is also delicious. Let me try this.” Valeria looked at the plate filled with at least seven or eight dishes. The secretary was so dutiful. She must have wanted to stuff her boss to death. 

Hackett sat opposite the sofa. He quietly watched Valeria eat. It seemed that watching her eat was quite pleasing to the eye. 

“Why are you so hungry? Didn’t you eat in the morning?” 

“Yes, I left hurriedly, so I didn’t eat. Are you sure you don’t want to have some? Then I’ll eat it all.” Valeria even confirmed with Hackett. 

Hackett said, “Eat it. If it’s not enough, ask the secretary to get another serving.” 

“It’s enough. Your secretary indeed cares about you. You can’t finish so many dishes alone.” When you’re hungry, everything is delicious. 

After a while, Valeria finished all the food on the plate, including the macaroni.

Then, she picked up cup of water on the coffee table and drank it. Finally, she was full and comfortable. 

She leaned against the sofa and gently stroked her abdomen. It still seemed flat, but she felt that her stomach was very full. “I’m full, but you don’t have anything else to eat. Get your secretary to make another serving.” 

“I’m not hungry,” the man said. 

At this moment, there was another knock on the door. 

Hackett did not even look before saying, “Come in.” 

The office door was pushed open. It was Tyler. He was supposed to report the investigation to him, but he didn’t expect Valeria to be here. 

He took the initiative to greet Valeria. “Ms. Sharp, so you’re here too.” 

“Have you found out?” Hackett had already guessed what he was going to say. Early in the morning, he had Tyler investigate the gardener’s background. 

Tyler saw that Hackett did not seem to care that Valeria was present, so he said directly, “Yes, that gardener’s name is Lester Hale. He’s 50 years old this year. He’s honest and has no children. He has a wife who has been bedridden for many years. It seems that her kidney is failing. She’s been lying in the hospital l year round and doing dialysis, which costs lots of money.

And if she can’t find a suitable kidney source, she might not live long. I heard from outsiders that the couple is very loving. His wife has never given birth because of this illness. No matter how I look at it, he doesn’t look like someone who can do this to Elsie 

“I knew it. No matter how I look at it, this gardener doesn’t look like it. Then why did he become the scapegoat? Did someone force him to stand out?” Valeria frowned. 

Hackett narrowed his eyes. “Moreover, the person who forced him to confess should be someone we know. He is afraid that if we continue investigating, we’ll find him. Therefore, he has to find a scapegoat. The reason why this gardener is willing to stand out is probably because of his wife’s illness.” 

Valeria also seemed to understand. 

It was a touching thought, but this gardener was a little stupid. Even if his wife were cured, he would go to jail. What was the point? 

“I have to meet this man. Maybe I can get some information out of him.” Valeria picked up her bag and prepared to leave. 

Hackett called out to her, “I’ll go with you. I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to find out. We have to use some methods.” 

“What method?” Valeria was confused. 

Hackett glanced at Tyler. After years of co–working interaction, Tyler instantly understood what Hackett meant. He turned around and left the office. 

Only Valeria was still in the dark. She could not understand what they meant.
