Chapter 212 

Kaden tried to persuade Elsie. “Elsie, it’s hard for us to be happy without the blessings of our elders, so it’s better not to take this step unless it’s absolutely necessary. After all, that’s your biological father who raised you. 

Kaden was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. However, Elsie was moved by his hypocritical words. 

She felt that Kaden was very sensible, considerate, and gentle, whereas her father was domineering. 

Kaden looked at Elsie’s nightgown and knew her intentions. 

However, he did not dare to sleep with Elsie right now. If Clayton found out, it would ruin Clayton’s image of him. 

you. 

Kaden pretended to be a gentleman. “Elsie, you don’t have to do this. I like you because I like you. Although I really want 

I want to have you in an open and above–board manner. I try my best to get your father to accept me. Now, go back with your bodyguard. Don’t let Mr. Maddox worry,” 

“Kaden, L. 

Elsie felt guilty. Kaden was so kind, yet she lied to him. 

That was not a bodyguard at all. That was her marriage partner that her father had designated for her! 

She really could not bear to tell Kaden and hurt Kaden’s feelings 

Elsie, don’t be willful. I will find a way to make Mr. Maddox accept me. I will let Mr. Maddox see my determination to make you happy.” 

Tears streamed down Elsie’s face. She felt that she had chosen the right person. Kaden was definitely not person who coveted wealth and glory. It was a pity that her father was stubborn and unwilling to understand 

character. 

ungrateful 

Hackett stood in front of his car and lit a cigarette. He felt that Elsie would probably come out after he smoked a few cigarettes 

He was halfway through his cigarette when he saw Elsie at the entrance of the alley. 

Hackett raised his eyebrows slightly. He thought, “So soon?” 

It was faster than he had imagined. 

Elsie pulled a long face and walked up to the man. “Let’s go! You can report to my father and accomplish your task!” 

Hackett threw the cigarette butt into the trash can. His tone was filled with ridicule. “As expected, that guy was weak. It was faster than I thought.” 

“Hackett! Don’t go overboard! What right do you won’t let you off!” 

ave to go to Kaden’s house? I’m warning you, if Kaden finds out about us, I 

have 

What Elsie was most afraid of now was being misunderstood by Kaden. If that happened, she would really not be able to explain herself. 

Hackett scoffed and asked, “How should I settle the score with you for approaching my ex–wife? I’m also warning you. If you let my ex–wife know about us. I’ll let your pretty boy die a horrible death. Emean what I say. Try me if you don’t believe me.” 

With that, he got into the driver’s seat. 

Elsie sat in the front passenger seat. She snorted and turned her head to look out of the window.

Chapter 212 

Hence, the man drove her back to the Maddox’s villa. 

No one spoke during the journey. Elsie was so bored that she could not help but speak. 

H 

“Hey, why are you afraid that your ex–wife will find out about us like Kaden. What about you? Do you still like your ex- wife?” 

Hackett looked straight ahead and drove seriously. He ignored Elsic and treated her as air. 

This was because he really felt that this woman was too noisy and gave him a headache. 

When Elsie saw that Hackett was quiet, she asked again, “Say something. Why are you so quiet? Why are you afraid that your ex–wife will find out about us? I’m really curious,” 

The man still ignored her. 

Then, Elsie began to immerse herself in her own world, recalling the first impression she had of Valeria. 

stated in the 

“I remember that when I saw your 

ex–wife, my first impression was that she was gorgeous. Unlike what was information, she didn’t look like a poor girl at all. She looked elegant. Moreover, she is a famous lawyer. She isn’t just a pretty face. She is capable.. 

The next second, the car screeched to a stop by the side of the road. 

Elsie’s body leaned forward due to inertia, and she was shocked) 

What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?” 

The sudden braking was terrifying. Elsie’s heart was still racing as she stared at the man beside her. 

At this moment, Hackett’s handsome face was tehse, expressionless, and full of hostility. He said in a low voice, “You got someone to investigate my ex–wife.” 

Elsie was stunned. Did she just spill the beans? 

She had indeed gotten someone to investigate Valeria. Otherwise, how would she know where Valeria lived and those private 

matters? 

“…I just want to understand your past… 

“You wanted to check if I have any dark past so that you could complain to your father and cancel the engagement,” Hackett revealed her true motive. 

Elsie was instantly embarrassed. That was exactly what she was thinking 

Why did this man make her sound so despicable? 

“I… You don’t want a marriage alliance either, right? I’m not the only unwilling one. If you want a marriage alliance, would you just watch me sleep in Kaden’s house and not do anything? Our goal is the same. Why can’t we cooperate? 

Hackett smiled. He was laughing at this girl’s naivety and ignorance. 

“Listen, if you really don’t want a marriage alliance, then don’t make it so obvious. The more you resist, the sooner this engagement party will happen. Remember, if you want to achieve your goal, you should play along. The man’s expression was extremely serious. 

Elsie looked at the man and shook her head. “I don’t understand what you mean. Can you be more specific?” 

Hackett was speechless “You graduated from the English department, after all. Yet, your comprehension ability is so poor. 

Chapter 212 

There’s really no cure for you. If you want to be with Kaden, do I say from now on. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to be with him. You can only be an unfavored rich man’s wife. I won’t like you. I alrearly have someone in my heart” 

With that, the man started the car, stepped on the accelerator, al drove toward the Maddox’s villa. 

Elsie didn’t react for a moment, but she clearly heard Hackett say that he had someone else in his heart. 

Elsie’s heart skipped a beat. She did not know what was wrong with her. Suddenly, she asked curiously. “Is that person your ex–wife?” 

Hackett, who was driving, said coldly. “It has nothing to do with you. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. When you see your father later, I don’t have to teach you what to say, right? If you si insist on being stubborn, not only will you be unable to escape unscathed, but Kaden might also be dealt with by your father. He will never be able to make a comeback for the rest of his life.” 

Elsie was really scared. She knew that her father had the ability to crush Kaden as easily as stepping on an ant. 

As they spoke, the car slowly stopped outside the Maddox’s villa 

The two of them unbuckled their seatbelts, got out of the car, and returned to the villa 

At this moment, Clayton was waiting for them in the living room 

The butler. Jasper, reported, “Sir, Miss Elsie and Mr. Janies are back.” 

The wily old fox smiled. He just wanted to test Hackett’s sincerity tonight. It seemed that Hackett was indeed quite sincere.
