Elsie subconsciously looked at Kaden beside her. She really wanted to say it was Kaden who wanted to meet Lester.

However, Kaden hugged her shoulders and smiled at Hackett. "Mr. James, it's so late. Did you come here to ask this? Elsie is tired. We need to rest. Let's talk tomorrow."

"You have no right to speak here. Get lost." Hackett's attitude was particularly arrogant. He did not take Kaden seriously at all.

However, the words Get Lost buried a deep hatred in Kaden's heart.

"Speak! Why on earth did you go to visit Lester today? Did you force him to commit suicide?"

Hackett only wanted to find out who the person who framed him was. But now that Lester was dead, all the clues were gone.

It was very likely that the person was still lurking in the dark and observing his life, waiting for the right time to stab him again. Lester committed suicide?

Elsie's eyes widened in surprise. She asked, "What did you say? Committed suicide? Why?"

Although she hated Lester, how dare she force a man to commit suicide? She didn't have the guts.

On the other hand, Kaden was very calm aside. He seemed to have a faint smile when he heard the news. However, he instantly pretended to be shocked.

Kaden shielded Elsie behind him and said, "Mr. James, this has nothing to do with Elsie. Elsie only scolded Lester today. How could she force him to death? You must be mistaken."

Hackett narrowed his eyes and stared at Kaden, who was acting before him. Kaden's behavior was a little odd.

Then Kaden closed the door and pulled Elsie back into the room.

Hackett stared at the closed door and sneered. Then, he turned around and walked toward Valeria.

"Has it been confirmed that Lester is dead?" Valeria could not help but ask.

Hackett nodded and said, "Yes. He was dead as a doornail. When he was found, he had slit his wrist and committed suicide. He lost too much blood and fell into a coma. So, he couldn't be saved when he was sent to the hospital." "Lester died at an odd time. And his wife's body is still in the morgue. He didn't care about it anymore?" said Valeria.

Valeria couldn't figure it out. Lester loved his wife so much that he did not hesitate to take the fall for someone in order to cure her illness. How could he commit suicide just like that?

Hackett also fell into deep thought. He really could not figure it out.

Suddenly, the door behind Valeria opened, and Alex ran out in his pajamas. When he saw Hackett, he shouted in surprise, "Daddy!"

Valeria and Hackett were stunned, but Hackett quickly reacted. He chuckled and picked up his son.

"You've grown heavier. Have you grown taller?" said Hackett.

"That's right. Grandma measured my height today and said that I've grown taller." Alex hugged Hackett's neck affectionately. Valeria smiled helplessly. They were really father and son. No one could break their blood relationship. 1/3

Alex hugged Hackett's neck like a spoiled child. "Daddy, stay with me tonight. I want to sleep with you and Mommy."

Valeria and Hackett looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

This was the Maddox family. How could Hackett stay overnight here casually? It was still inconvenient.

Hackett had not returned to the manor for a long time since Valeria and Alex left it. Living alone in such a large manor would make him seem even lonelier.

"It's not convenient for Daddy to stay here. Be good," said Valeria

"Why? I only want to stay with Daddy. Daddy, you haven't slept in the same bed with me for a long time. Don't you Mommy and me anymore?" Alex pouted, and his face was full of grievance.

Hackett patted his little head and said, "What are you thinking? How can I not like you and Mommy? How about this? Let's go and sleep at Daddy's house tonight, okay?"

"Sure!" Alex was looking forward to it.

Hackett looked at Valeria and said, "Let's sleep in the manor tonight. I haven't been back in a long time since moved out."

"Well... I'll go tell my father." After all, she had returned to the Maddox family not long ago. She still had to tell Clayton. Unexpectedly, Clayton happened to walk upstairs at this moment. He said, "There's no need to say anything else. Go ahead if you want to go back and stay. You can stay anywhere you want. Your mother and I can't bear to see you guys suffer. You

Clayton went forward and pinched his grandson's face. He smiled and said, "Come back to stay with your Daddy tonight. Call me if you miss Grandpa, okay?"

"Okay!" said Alex.

Alex struggled to get down. "Daddy, I want to take my Ultraman with me."

Hackett had no choice but to let him down. Then Alex ran back into his room to get

Valeria looked at Clayton and said, "Thank you, Dad."

"Go ahead. But you two need to consider your affairs earnestly." Then Clayton walked toward the end of the corridor. Valeria and Hackett were left to look at each other. They had a tacit understanding, but neither of them spoke. At the James Manor.

"Wow! Mommy, this is still my room. There are so many toys."

When Alex returned to the manor, it was as if he had been his kingdom and was having fun everywhere.

Valeria smiled helplessly and looked at Hackett. "You didn't eat much tonight. Do you want me to cook a bowl of spaghetti for you?"

"Forget it. The chef was off duty," said Hackett.

"I'll cook it for you. It's not as good as the chef's, but it's okay."

Hackett smiled. "It would be even better if you were willing."

In any case, he would not take the initiative to ask Valeria to cook spaghetti for him. He had no rights or qualifications, not

Now that the James family was facing internal and external problems, all the burden was on him alone. He was also afraid that he would implicate Valeria and his son if he could not hold on one day. Hackett sat in the dining room, holding his forehead and closing his eyes to rest.

Too many things had happened. Hackett had to deal with every single one of them personally. There was the matter of Elsie, and Hackett didn't even know who his enemy was.

After a while, Valeria placed a bowl of spaghetti before him. There was a poached egg on it.

"Eat it while it's hot." Valeria pulled out a chair and sat at the side.

Hackett picked up a fork. The fragrance assaulted his nose. He picked up spaghetti and put it into his mouth."It tastes like home." said Hackett with a smile.

He ate outside every day. He also had a cook at home to cook for him, but the food smelled like one in a hotel. He hadn't eaten this plain and sweet-tasting for a long time.

"Don't worry too much. Investigate slowly. Even though Lester was dead, there will still be clues. It's impossible to be foolproof. There must be some details that we haven't thought of" Valeria comforted him.

Hackett suddenly thought of Kaden tonight. He frowned and said, "I found Kaden quite weird tonight. He seems to be the voice of Elsie now. Elsie has no voice at all."
