Chapter 371
Elsie Maddox turned around and looked at Valeria Sharp. She wanted to say something but hesitated. Her eyes were filled with the desire to ask for help, but she did not dare to mutter a word.
“What’s the matter?”
Valeria could also sense that something was wrong with Elsie.
“It’s nothing…” Elsie answered and shook her head. There was no point for her to ask Valeria for help anyway. There was no way Valeria could beat Kaden Hardin as she was a woman after all.
At this moment, Hackett James also walked into the lounge. He did not even look at Elsie because he was here for Valeria.
“Valeria, go out and take a look. Your son is causing all sorts of trouble outside,” Hackett said in a loving tone.
“What did he do now? How can he cause trouble when he’s only a flower boy?” Valeria questioned helplessly. That little brat was getting more and more mischievous.
“Well, he’s fighting with another flower boy,” Hackett replied with a smile.
Valeria frowned and walked out of the lounge.
Hackett also wanted to follow her out, but Elsie looked at him as though he was her last hope. He was the only person that could save her now.
Kaden was very afraid of Hackett. After all, he could not hold a candle to Hackett at all.
Just as Hackett was about to walk out, Elsie lifted the hem of her wedding dress and walked behind him. She grabbed his arm and shouted, “Wait!”
Hackett turned around and looked at her hand before declaring “Take your hand away.”
There seemed to be some disdain in his eyes. Hearing that, Elsie subconsciously removed her hand. Her eyes trailed outside the door and when she saw that there was no one, she whispered, “Can you come in for a while? I have to tell you something. Please.”
“The wedding is about to begin so you should prepare.”
Hackett did not want to listen to anything she wanted to say, but she forcefully dragged him into the lounge and closed the door.
“What I want to tell you is very important! Don’t you want to know who framed you? It’s not Lester Hale at all! Please listen to me. It’s not Lester Hale but someone nobody expects!”
Hackett narrowed his eyes slightly before responding, “Go on.”
“The person who pretended to be you and asked me to go to the hotel that night wasn’t Lester! It was…”
Halfway through her sentence, the door of the lounge was pushed open. Hackett looked up and saw that it was Kaden. When Elsie saw Kaden, her face instantly froze with fear as if she had seen a ghost. She immediately hid behind Hackett. This action angered Kaden. He put on a fake smile and said, “What are you guys doing? Mr. James, Elsie is already my wife in the legal sense. It’s not appropriate for the two of you to be alone here and it won’t be good if word gets out. Besides, you’re also her sister’s ex–husband…”
“Do you want me to beat you up? Or do you want me to ruin your wedding today?” Hackett ignored Kaden’s sarcastic words,

Kaden smiled and added, “Mr. James, you can’t do this. Otherwise, I’ll misunderstand that there’s something inappropriate between the two of you.”
Without even wasting a second, Hackett punched Kaden in the face. Blood immediately appeared at the corner of Kaden’s lips. The redness and swelling of Kaden’s mouth were also proof of how hard Hackett punched him.
“It’s your wedding day so I don’t want to cause trouble. However, if you continue to spout nonsense here, I won’t hold back”
With that, he left the lounge without looking back.
Kaden did not stop him but he simply smiled. He knew that he was not Hackett’s match, at least not now. That was why he had to gain enough power in the Maddox family.
After the door closed, Elsie’s entire body started trembling and her face turned pale. She knew that this man would not let her off.
“Elsie, you’ve really disappointed me.” Kaden wiped the blood from the corner of his lips as he walked towards her.
Elsie trembled and took a few steps back. “Don’t come over. Please, I beg you! There’s nothing going on between us!”
“Of course, I know that nothing happened between the two of you. Hackett James doesn’t like you at all. Even if you strip naked in front of him, he probably won’t react.”
about.
Kaden was very clear about this. Hackett liked women like Valeria Sharp, so there was nothing for him to worry
However, he was certain that Elsie locked herself in the lounge with Hackett so that she could ask for help. Although what Kaden said was the truth, Elsie was still a little taken aback when she heard him say that Hackett did not care about her.
Kaden suddenly grabbed her chin forcefully. “But what were you trying to do by pulling him into the lounge? Were you trying to get help? Did you think he’s the only one who can save you now? Because I’m afraid of him? Ha, you’re really naive.”
Elsie was terrified to tears by his intense gaze. She struggled to escape, but he stared at her and said, “I’m warning you, don’t try anything stupid again. Hackett James won’t save you, no one can save you. As long as you listen to me obediently, I won’t harm you because you’re not my target anyway.”
After leaving the lounge, Hackett fell into deep thought.
What was Elsie trying to say? Who was the person that no one had expected?
Since Elsie already knew that Lester was not the man from that night, she had no reason to force Lester to death. So, who was it?
Suddenly, a person appeared in his mind. He seemed to have guessed who did it…
After Valeria finished dealing with the kid’s fight, she walked over to Hackett and let out a long sigh. “This little boy is getting more and more mischievous. He doesn’t behave when there are many people around.”
However, Hackett seemed to be lost in thought and did not answer her.
Valeria poked his arm before asking, “What are you thinking about?”
Only then did Hackett come back to his senses. He looked at her and said in a serious tone, “Elsie already knows that Lester is not the man from that night. Moreover, she also knows who the man was.”

“What? If that’s the case, then there’s no reason for her to force Lester to his death. Then who was the one who killed Lester?
Hackett looked straight into Valeria’s eyes and said slowly, “Did you forget that someone else also went to prison that day?
Valeria immediately came to a realization!
Her eyes widened as she asked, “It’s him? How is that possible? Would he do such a thing? Could there be a mistake?”
“It has got to be him. There’s no other possibilities.”
Hackett sneered and looked at the wedding venue. The wedding was about to begin, and Elsie Maddox was going to marry a pauper who kept scheming to climb up the social ladder.
The person who accompanied Elsie to prison that day was Kaden Hardin!
Kaden actually pretended to be Hackett to forcefully sleep with his girlfriend. What kind of sick bastard was he?
Valeria did not know what to believe anymore. She could not imagine that someone who usually acted so refined could do such a thing.
His manipulativeness sent chills down her spine.
