Chapter 241

At River Valley.

Valeria lay on the sofa, feeling extremely bored.

She did not want to continue working in Keith's law office anymore, but she felt she was wasting her life doing nothing all .day.

"Valeria, aren't you going back to the law office?"

"Yes, I don't want to go back." There were people she did not want to face, nor could she face anymore.

Ella suddenly suggested, "Valeria, you can start a law office yourself. What do you think?"

Ella's idea piqued Valeria's interest. She turned around and looked at Ella. "Start a law office?"

It was not that she had not thought of having her law office. However, at first, she probably would not have any clients even if she ran a law office because she was inexperienced and not qualified enough. Yet, it was different now. In the past few years, she had won many lawsuits and had gained a reputation at the Bar. Now was indeed the right time for her to form a law office.

"That's right. I searched for your name online yesterday. Only then did I know you're so influential now. You're famous at the Bar. Since that's the case, why don't you start your own law office?"

Valeria smiled. "You're right. I didn't have the courage in the past, but I should grow up now. I can't work for others forever, right?"

Moreover, Hackett wanted to drive her and Alex overseas, but she refused. She wanted to stay there and take root. In that case, she could show that jerk she could live well. ""Yes! I have faith in you. You can do it!"

Ella looked at Valeria in front of her. Valeria was no longer the little follower who followed her when Ella was young. Valeria had become a famous, beautiful lawyer.

Valeria could not help but smile. After so many days, she finally revealed a gentle smile.

Valeria seemed to have found a new direction in her life.

Her phone suddenly rang. Valeria took a look and saw it was an unknown number. She answered the call.

"Hello? Is this Ms. Valeria Sharp? I'm from James Group's legal department. There's something I need you to do. Can you come to the company?"

Valeria originally wanted to refuse but suddenly remembered that she was still James Group's legal consultant.

"Alright, give me a moment. I'll be right there."

She was still very professional at work. Only when she was working could she forget all her worries.

At James Group.

Valeria changed into a set of business attire and drove to the company.

It was almost dark. Valeria did not expect there to be people working overtime in the company. She wondered if an important project had started in the past few days. 1/3

She walked straight to the legal department, where the legal director personally received her.

"Ms. Sharp, this way, please. We'll talk in my office."

"Okay."

Valeria smiled and followed the legal director into the office.

. Then, they chatted in the office for two hours. Valeria had not been there for a long time and had a lot of work to do.

"Why did not you inform me about the backlog of contracts?" Because Valeria was an outside counsel, she did not need to come to the office unless informed.

The legal director smiled and said, "Mr. James instructed me not to disturb you if there's nothing too important."

Valeria was speechless.

In that case, she might as well resign from the position. She took the salary for nothing. Many people in the company probably had a lot of objections to her taking the money without working. "I should go now. Thank you for today."

"Alright. I thought you were difficult to get along with, but I did not expect you to be so approachable. I don't know why Mr. James said that, so we did not dare to call you casually." There was a hidden meaning in the legal director's words, which was that Valeria had always used her privileges. It was time for Valeria to do some work.

Valeria's expression froze for a moment. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Call me if you need anything. I'll be on call."

She turned around and walked toward the elevator.

She did not notice and walked to the exclusive elevator for the company president. Her mind was still thinking about what the legal director had just said. With a ding, the elevator door slowly opened.

Valeria did not look up and walked straight in, wondering why no one was in the elevator.

Usually, the elevator should be crowded at that hour.

With another ding, the elevator stopped on the seventeenth floor.

Tyler's voice came from outside the elevator. "Mr. James, Mr. Maddox invited you to dinner again tonight. Do you want to think of an excuse to turn it down? I..."

Tyler was halfway through his sentence when he saw the person in the elevator. He was dumbfounded

What was going on? Wasn't that the exclusive elevator for Hackett? Why was Valeria inside it?

Hackett did not move. He stared at the person in the elevator as if he wanted to see through her.

Valeria saw the people outside had not come in for a long time. She raised her head and realized Tyler and Hackett were standing outside.

Did God have to make fun of her like that? How could it be so coincidental that she could meet the jerk in the elevator?

Her expression was chilly as she prepared to press the elevator button. "Go take another elevator. I'm in a hurry." 10:30 Sun, Nov 17 w

Before Hackett could speak, Tyler pressed the elevator door and did not let it close. "Ms. Sharp, this is the exclusive elevator for the president!" Valeria was lost for words.

Valeria was shocked. The exclusive elevator for the president? That was why no one dared to take that elevator. She had been wondering why there was no one when she came in.

"Alright. I'll take another elevator."

Valeria prepared to walk out. Unexpectedly, Hackett walked into the elevator and forced her to a corner.

Valeria frowned. "What are you doing? Let me out. Isn't this elevator exclusive for you? I'll go and leave it to you!" "Forget it. I'm in a hurry, too." With that, Hackett pressed the number button for the underground parking lot. "What does that mean?" Valeria thought.

How much time could she waste getting out of the elevator? Why was the jerk always so troublesome?

Tyler stood silently at the side and observed them quietly.

Sometimes, Tyler felt aggrieved for Hackett. Hackett still loved Valeria, but he could not be with her. He could only watch her fall in love with someone else.

The ten more seconds in the elevator felt as long as a century.

Ding-dong. The elevator door finally opened. Valeria walked out first. Her back was filled with impatience.

Hackett looked at her slender back and followed her out. He did not say anything and just stared at her back silently.

He would have rare chances to look at her back like that in the future.

He knew he had pushed Valeria to Keith thoroughly this time.

Valeria did not even look back. She walked straight to her car. Then, something suddenly struck her, and she turned to look at Hackett. "You can hire someone else for the legal consultant. I'm not suitable and don't want to work here anymore." "As you

wish." Hackett's attitude was indifferent. He did not ask her

stay, nor did he force her.

As she wished?

Well, the true nature of the jerk was exposed. Hackett wanted the whole world to be Valeria's when he was that Hackett was about to get engaged to Elsie, he wished to run away from her as fast as he could.
