Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 37

Valeria opened her eyes in a daze and realized that she was in an unfinished building. It was a mess everywhere.

Her hands and feet were tied up, and her mouth was taped. She felt dizzy.

She could only hear the conversation between her despicable father, Ben, and the kidnappers.

"Do you think your son-in-law is really that rich? How can he get 100 thousand dollars in cash in such a short time? If you dare to lie to us, we won't let you off!"

The man pretended to punch Ben, and Ben was so frightened that he curled up into a ball and protected his head. "1 wouldn't dare! How would I dare to lie to you? My son-in-law is really rich. My previous debts were all paid off with his money! "Then I'll wait for the money to be sent here. If we can't get the money tonight, you and your family members will be disabled, the man threatened fiercely.

Valeria looked at Ben angrily. How could there be such a scumbag in the world?

He abandoned his wife and child when he was young. Now that he was old, he started to kidnap his biological daughter for money. He was simply shameless to the extreme.

At this moment, Valeria's phone rang again.

She couldn't help but make a sound, catching the kidnapper's attention. He ignored her and picked up the call.

"How is it now? Have you got the cash ready? What? Do you want to hear your wife's voice? Mr. James, are you afraid that we'll kill the hostage?"

The man glanced at Valeria, who was leaning against the wall. He walked over impatiently. "Tm warning you, don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, even if your husband gives us the money, you won't be able to go back alive!" Then, the man tore off the tape

on her mouth and placed the phone by her ear.

t's familiar voice came from the phone beside her ear. "Valeria, speak. Tell me, are you all right now? Are you injured

For some reason, her tears came out uncontrollably when Valeria heard Hackett's voice.

She felt wronged and afraid.

"Valerial" Hackett panicked, for he could not hear her voice.

The kidnapper roared, "Say something! Otherwise, your husband will think that we have done something to you!"

Valeria's throat was a little dry and uncomfortable. She said slowly, "It's me."

After hearing her voice, Hackett finally heaved a sigh of relief.

to me. Now, let the kidnapper

"Don't be afraid. Wait for me to save you. Don't talk to them. Don't say a word. Leave the rest to

talk to me."

By talking patiently, Hackeu soothed Valeria, who was in a panic

Valeria looked at the kidnapper holding her phone and said, "He wants to talk with you."

The kidnapper took the phone away and placed it by his ear. He heard Hackett's cold voice immediately "Give her water and t.

food. Don't talk to her. I'll send the money to the place designated by you."

"Well, don't worry. We'll take good care of your wife. After all, we only want money and don't want to hurt anyone."

While the kidnapper was talking on the phone, Ben secretly took a bottle of water and gave it to Valeria.

"Drink some water. When your husband gives them the money, we'll be safe.

Before Ben could finish speaking, he was scolded angrily by Valeria. "Get away! What right do you have to make Hackett pay off your debts? Is he your biological son? Ben Darcy, do you live to torture my mother and me? Do we owe you anything?" If it were not for the fact that her hands and feet were tied, Valeria really wanted to strangle Ben.

"Your husband is so rich. Why can't he repay his father-in-law's debts? Your brother's hands and feet are about to be chopped off. Don't you feel sorry at all? Why don't you have any sympathy at all? Why has your mother raised you to be like this?

Ben did not feel guilty at all. He even felt that Valeria was his daughter and should help him repay his debts.

"Don't mention my mother. You don't have the right to mention her. Besides, I don't have a younger brother. My mother. only gave birth to me. That bastard of yours is not my younger brother. Get away! You make me sick!"

Valeria turned her head away. She did not want to look at Ben again. She was afraid that she would be angered to death.

However, why would Hackett come to save her?

They already divorced and had nothing to do with each other. Why would he come?

He didn't love her, and he loved Cheryl. Why would he come to save her?

Valeria had originally thought that Hackett would ignore the blackmail call. After all, every time she went to borrow money to repay her father's debts four years ago, Hackett was very impatient. He even said that her whole family were vampires. Hackett's tone on the phone just now almost made her think that the two of them had not divorced.

At this ment, it was getting dark.

Hackett was driving alone to the suburbs according to the kidnapper's request.

The kidnapper kept changing places as if he was going in circles Hackett gradually lost his patience.

Just then, his phone rang again. It was the kidnapper.

He picked up the phone and flew into a rage. "You have made me go around and around for an hour. What the hell do you. want?"

"Mr. James, don't be angry. I just want to see how sincere you are You will arrive at the right place this time. Put the money in the abandoned factory at the intersection ahead and then drive back to the downtown area. When my people get the money, I'll let your wife go back immediately."

Then, he hung up.

Hackett got through to another number and said in a commanding tone, "Pinpoint the current location of my phone. Send someone over here and keep alert."

"Mr. James, we're rushing over to where you are now."

At this moment, another call came in

Hackett picked up the call and found that it was Cheryl. He said directly, "Cheryl, I'm very busy now and don't have time to talk to you. Ill contact you tomorrow.

Then, he hung up.

Inside the banquet hall, before Cheryl could say a word, Hackert hung up. She got extremely angry.

Today, everyone was looking forward to her walking the red carpet with Hackett. Unexpectedly, he stood her up at the last minute. He did not even answer her calls. She managed to get through to him this time, but he hung up after saying a few words.

Cheryl could not take it anymore. She felt that Hackett was really about to remarry Valeria. She was burning with anxiety and anger

"Oh, what a joke. Didn't she brag that she was going to walk the red carpet with Hackett James today? Where is he?"

"I think that the news about her relationship with Hackett James that came out last time was to enhance her popularity. How could Hackett James be attracted to her? She's just an ordinary and unfamous female star." "That's right! That's Hackett James. He can find any woman he wants. Why would he like her?"

When hearing several female celebrities behind her whispering and mocking her, Cheryl felt a sense of humiliation.

It was Valeria who had brought all this humiliation upon her.

Cheryl stood up and left the banquet angrily. Without Hackett by her side, she would only be the laughingstock of the people tonight. There was no need for her to stay any longer.

In the unfinished building, the kidnapper brought Valeria a lot of food and water, but she didn't eat anything. She couldn't

eat at all

She wondered how Hackett was now.

She did not want Hackett to repay Ben's debts anymore. The two of them already divorced, so he had no obligation to do things
