Chapter 206
“Mr. James, aren’t you going to accompany Mr. Alex upstairs tonight? You and your son have just reunited. The child needs company”
Tyler also knew that he shouldn’t have said anything. When Tyler saw Hackett’s sharp gaze in the rearview mirror, he immediately shut up,
Hackett did not answer Tyler. Instead, he looked out of the car window with a faint disappointment in his eyes.
Hackett could not help but laugh self–deprecatingly.
Alex was just a three–year–old child. His expectations were too high. He should give the child enough time to digest such things.
It was enough now that Alex knew that Hackett was his biological father. Hackett would leave the rest to time.
After Hackett completed his work during this period and got the shares back, he would take more time out to accompany his son
The next day, after sleeping in the office for the night, Hackett changed his clothes and went to visit Clayton at his house.
Now was the time when human talents were needed. Hackett could not afford to be careless at all.
At the Maddox’s villa, the butler, Jasper, invited Hackett to sit in the living room while the maid served Hackett a cup of coffee. Then, Hackett waited there for Clayton to come down.
Hackett had deliberately woken up early to show Clayton his sincerity.
He had to treat it seriously because it was important to get the shares back this time.
For the past few days, he had been relying on coffee to perk himself up.
At that moment, footsteps sounded behind him. However, they didn’t sound like Clayton’s because they sounded like a woman’s and were a liule stealthy.
Hackett pretended not to notice and continued drinking his coffee.
Suddenly, the woman seemed to approach him from behind, wanting to scare him. Unexpectedly, Hackett suddenly turned around, scaring the woman into screaming instead.
A scream was heard.
Hackett looked at the woman in front of him. She looked to be in her twenties with an attractive and delicate appearance. She had a pampered temperament.
Hackett thought, “Could this be… Clayton’s precious daughter, Elsier
“Why did you scare me all of a sudden? I had such a scare!” Elsie covered her chest with her hands. She was so scared that her petite face turned pale.
Hackett put down his coffee cup and said calmly, “If you weren’t thinking of scaring me, you wouldn’t have been scared by
Elsie snorted and sat on the sofa, looking at the man before her
Could this be the marriage partner her father had chosen for her, Hackett, the heir of the James family?

Chapter 206
It was said that Hackett had bad temper and was very ugly. Wh…
Elsie sat on the sofa oppposite Hackett. Only then did she see what the man in front of her looked like. She was stunned for a few seconds.
He must have been the most handsome man she had ever seen. Even though Hackett was expressionless at this moment, his handsome facial features were exquisite and imposing.
So, this was Hackett, the heir of the James family…
At this moment, Clayton walked down the stairs.
“Hackett, why are you here so early? I just woke up.” Clayton walked over slowly. When he saw his daughter, he was a little surprised. “Elsie, why are you here?”
Hackett stood up. “Mr. Maddox, didn’t you say that your daughter would be back tomorrow?”
“Yes, but I didn’t expect this girl to return early last night. She even said that she wanted to give me a surprise.”
Hackett did not say anything else and just smiled faintly.
“Have a seat. Elsie, you should sit next to me too. I have something to tell you.”
Clayton pulled his precious daughter to sit on the sofa opposite him
“Elsie, I’ve decided to let you get engaged to Hackett on the eighth of next month. Then, you will get married at the end of the year. You don’t have to go abroad this year. Stay in the country and prepare for the wedding…
Before Clayton could finish his sentence, Elsie burst with anger and stood up abruptly. “Dad! How could you decide my happiness so randomly? I’ve already told you that I have someone I like. I’m not going to marry anyone but him!”
Hackett looked at the scene and smiled without saying anything. He picked up the cup of coffee that had turned cold and slowly enjoyed it.
She didn’t want to marry him? That was wonderful. He didn’t want to marry her either,
The more outright the rejection, the
