In the kitchen, Valeria was busy washing the vegetables. She seemed to vaguely hear his son talking to someone.

She turned off the tap and walked into the living room. She couldn’t help but ask, “Alex, who were you talking to? Did someone call me?”

Alex shook his head. “No, I was talking to myself.”

“Did I make a mistake?”

Valeria thought that perhaps she had been so tired for the past two days that she was hallucinating. She turned around and returned to the kitchen with a puzzled expression.

Alex heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Valeria walk back to the kitchen.

He would not let a stranger disturb Keith and his mommy’s two–person world.

Alex would like Keith and his mommy to get married quickly so that his mommy would not be bullied in the future.

He had always felt that Keith was the best man and the best father in the world.

In the kitchen, Keith looked back at her. “What’s wrong? Did someone call you?”

“No, I heard wrongly. Maybe I’ve been too tired these past few days, and I’m hallucinating

She tilted her head and smiled before continuing to wash the vegetables.

Keith smiled, too. He suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, I have an indecency case involving a second- generation rich man at hand. Do you want to take it over? I’m a little busy. If you can, please take it over.”

Valeria agreed without thinking. “Sure. It’s my honor to be able to help you out.”

Keith had already helped her so much. Moreover, he had taken care of her and Alex for the past four years. Therefore, as long as Keith asked her for help, she would agree.

it’s good. I’m kind of relieved. Otherwise, I’d have a headache if I had to work on several cases simultaneously

“You’ve been working so hard ever since you returned from abroad. Are you busy earning money for getting married?” She casually joked.

Unexpectedly, Keith replied in a low voice, “Unfortunately, the person I want to marry doesn’t want to marry me…”

Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Valeria did not know what to say. She could only lower her head and continue to wash the vegetables.

After about an hour, they finally finished the cooking. The three of them had dinner together.

The happiest person was Alex. He actually helped the two adults pick up food for the first time.

“Mommy, eat the prawns. Keith, eat the fish. Alex leaned over the dining table and picked up some food.

Valeria was so touched that she almost cried. She instantly felt that Alex had grown up.

“Thank you, Alex. It’s delicious.”

Keith also smiled and patted Alex on the head. Of course, he knew Alex’s intentions.

Chapter 43

In the next few days, Valeria and Alex gradually got used to living in the villa

She didn’t hear any more news about Hackett. She thought that after that incident, she probably wouldn’t have anything to

do with Hackett.

Barron had already given up. After all, she had already taken Keith back to the old house

Valeria’s world seemed to have regained its peace. She hoped that it would remain so until the resigned.

Cooper Law Office.

“What? Regarding the indecency case involving a second–generation rich man, we’re his defense attorneys, aren’t we?

Valeria, who was drinking water now, almost spat it out.

She had thought they were hired by the molested girl to fight the lawsuit.

Jepson looked helpless. “Ms. Sharp, you live the life of an immortal, don’t you? Our law office is one of the best in the country. Can ordinary people afford such attorney’s fees? The girl who has been threatened is just an ordinary student from a third–rate university

Valeria was speechless. If she had known this earlier, she wouldn’t have agreed to Keith’s suggestion. She hated taking over cases like this the most, and in particular, she hated defending those hooligans.

“Tonight, you have to meet the person involved and talk to him about the upcoming trial,” Jepson said.

Valeria could not help but sigh, “Where should I meet him?”

“This second–generation rich man is extremely arrogant. Even after such a thing happened, he still wants to have fun every day. He’s organizing a pool party tonight. You can only go to the party to meet him.”

Valeria looked disgusted. “What kind of person is he? He’s just a prodigal

However, she did not expect that tonight, she would meet Hackett, whom she had not seen for a long time.

on, night fell.

Veria drove to the location of the pool party. It was a luxurious villa in the suburbs.

With the invitation card that Jepson had prepared in advance, she entered the place for the party.

As far as she could see, there were handsome men and beautiful women in sexy swimsuits everywhere.

However, Valeria looked out of place, for she was in her professional suit. A lot of people stared at her strangely

She stopped a waiter and asked, “Excuse me, where is Mr. Jim Hill?

“Over there.” The waiter pointed in a direction.

“Thank you.”

Valeria walked in the direction pointed out by the waiter and passed by numerous beautiful women in swimsuits. Then, she saw a man surrounded by beautiful women. He was leaning against a deck chair like a fatuous and self–indulgent ruler.

“Is this Jim Hill?

“It is obvious that he is a wastrel.

“But, why am I feeling that there is another strange gaze at me?

Chapter 43

Valeria frowned slightly and turned around. She instantly fromxe on the spot

Hackett leaned against one of the deck chairs neartry, with a glass of champagne in his hand. He wore a black shirt with two buttons buttoned at the collar. His sleeves were casually mile dup, revealing a silver wristwatch

At this moment, Hackett was narrowing his big eyes and staring at Valeria

“Why is Hackett here, too?

“The friends with a hooligan like Jim Hill, who had molested a female university studen

“Mr. Hill, I’m your lawyer. Are you free to talk with me about the case now?”

Valeria retracted her surprised gaze and introduced herself to Jam in a professional manner.

“So you’re a beautiful lawyer. I thought you were here for the party. I was wondering why you didn’t change into a swimsuit.”

Jim stared at Valeria with a perverted expression and sized her up. “Ms. Sharp, your figure should be very good if you wear a

swimsuit.”

Valeria said expressionlessly. “Mr. Hill, please mind your condue I’m your lawyer. I’m different from those women”

If it weren’t for the fact that Jim was their client, she would have slapped him across the face long ago, for he was just a hooligan

Seeing that she was angry, Jim smiled and compromised. All right. Ms. Sharp, sit down and let’s talk. This is the first time I’m talking to a beautiful lawyer about a case. I’m a little nervous.”

Valeria didn’t know what to say. She already wanted to turn around and leave.

Meanwhile, Harkett’s gaze was fixed on Valeria. He took a sip of the champagne in his glass and suddenly said in a deep voice, “Do you really have to talk about work at this moment? We are holding a pool party now. You two can talk another day, or you go to change into a swimsuit and then come back to talk”

He was deliberately making things difficult for Valeria. He had a deep grudge against her.

any of Jim’s disreputable friends began to jeer, “Yes, yes, yes. This is a pool party. Since you’re here, you have to abide by the rules. Why don’t you wear a swimsuit after coming here?”
