Hackett said, "He will care as long as we pay the price?


    "What price?"


    Tyler remembered yton''s usual attitude. Basically, he did not care about anything and would only show up when there was a meeting. He never dealt with matters rted to thepany, Tyler could not figure out what was on his mind. "You''ll find out soon enough."


    As he spoke, he arrived at the door of the private room. Tyler pushed the door open. yton had been waiting for a long time in there and was even a little impatient. However, he did not show any negative feelings outwardly. Tyler stood at the side and closed the door.


    Hackett walked over and sat in the seat in front of yton. He spoke politely, "Mr. Maddox, I''m sorry. I''m a minutete


    yton raised his coffee cup and took a sip. "If you''rete more than one minute, I would leave. You have to know that I hate waiting for people the most. Even if you are the president of a country, I would not want to wait another second for you." "But you still waited. That proves I''m worth your wait. I am valuable enough for you, right?" Hackett smiled.


    He had always been mature and steady in the business world. He was apletely different person from the irritable Mr. Jaimes in private. This was what his grandfather and father had taught him. He had to be calm andposed in the business world. Otherwise, he would only make things worse.


    yton''s smile widened as he twirled the exquisite porcin coffee cup in his hand. "Looks like youe prepared. In that case, there''s no need to waste any time. I know what you want, but you also know what I want, right?"


    Tyler frowned as he stood on the side. He could not understand what these two big shots were talking about.


    He could not figure out what yton wanted.


    Tyler listened carefully since he was afraid that he would miss the key information of the conversation by missing even one


    word.


    Hackett was silent for a few seconds. He looked at this wily old fox in front of him. His handsome face was tense as if he was making a difficult decision.


    He said, ''I agree to the marriage between our two families. Now that Grandpa is gone and my father is gone, you have the final say in the marriage. I have no problem with that."


    Tyler, who was standing at the side, widened his eyes in surprise


    He thought, "Marriage?


    "So this was what yton wanted?


    This old cunning fox wants to marry his own daughter to Mr. James?


    "What about Valeria? What about Alex?"


    For a moment, Tyler''s mind was in a mess. He looked at the expressionless Mr. James and said inwardly. "Mr. James, what


    a marriage with the Maddox family and let Valeria down?" are you thinking? Are you actually going to f


    Upon hearing how straightforward Hackett was, ytonughed out loud. "That''s my good son-inw, it''s settled then. A


    joint Marriage is the best choice for our families. I know that you have had a previous marriage, but it''s not a big deal. A man with great ambition and a career always has a history of interesting private life. I don''t mind that, and neither does daughter. We want a sessful coboration Remember, we are aiming for a win-win partnership. Don''t let your rtionship with some random girl ruin your bright future.

    "I know. You don''t have to remind me. The sessive deaths of my grandfather and father havepletely sobered me up. James Group needs me to take responsibility. Otherwise, it will be divided up by those useless things sooner orter" Hackett had to get back the shares that his aunt had snatched away first.


    yton nodded in satisfaction. "You''re worth my attention."


    He then raised his wrist to check the time. "Alright, let''s do it this way. I have a dinner meeting nned after this, so I''ll be leaving first. Come to my house tomorrow to discuss the specifies. Also, my daughter will being back to this country the day after tomorrow. You can go pick her up. It''ll be a good opportunity to cultivate your rtionship with her."


    With that. yton got up and left


    After the door closed, thest bit of politeness on Hackett''s face disappeared. He closed his eyes tiredly and held his forehead with his slender fingers..


    Tyler sat in the seat beside him immediately. "Mr. James, are you really nning to hold a marriage with the Maddox family? Do you actually want to marry yton''s daughter? You''ve never even seen her before. Do you really want to do this?"


    "Is there any other way?" Hackett looked up at him.


    Tyler was speechless. Last time, Hackett was forced by his grandfather to marry Valeria. Now, he was forced to marry a woman he didn''t know for the sake of the shares.


    Hackett added, "yton only has one precious daughter. He just wants to find someone to entrust to her daughter. Moreover, he doesn''t want to hand over the family business that he has worked so hard for many years to a random poor boy. From what I know, his daughter seems to be in love with a poor man. Furthermore, she loves him so much that she can''t bear to part with him"


    Tyler said. "I see... Then is this marriage still going to happen? They''re so in love that they can''t bear to part...


    It doesn''t matter. I just want to get what I want. As for whether is daughter wants to marry me,


    it''s their business. I don''t


    He did not care what yton''s daughter looked like or what her personality was like, nor did he want to know which poor person she was in a rtionship with. He only had one thought which was to protect the business of the James family.


    Now that his father and grandfather were no longer around, there were too few people he could use. As the secondrgest shareholder on the board of directors, yton was very valuable to him


    Tyler could not help but ask again, "Then... what about Mr. Alex


    "Alex will always be my son. That won''t change."


    "Then what about Ms. Sharp Tyler asked.


    Upon mentioning Valeria, Hackett''s expression changed slightly. After a long silence, he said, "As for Valeria Perhaps it''s time to let her go. She hates me and doesn''t like me. She has already made a huge concession to let me and Alex meet each other. I can''t force her to do things that she doesn''t like anymore


    This time, Hackett had finallye to think it through. It was not that he was ying hard to get. It was because the impact of his grandfather''s death was too intense on him.


    He felt that he could not bring happiness to Valeria. He would only bring her endless grievances.


    I''Valeria continued to be his wife, she would probably suffer a fet. Moreover, Valeria had never agreed to return to him and remarry him. Not even once.


    At the thought of this, a hint of disappointment appeared in his dark eyes.


    There was no point in continuing to pester Valeria, and he had time to pester her anymore.


    He had too much to do now. The entire James Group needed him to take charge.


    Tyler fell silent when he heard his words. He did not know if Mr. James had really thought it through or if he was ying hard to get.


    However, at this moment, Mr. James really did not seem to be in the mood to y hard to get. There were a lot of things to do in the corporation, and many people from the board of directors wereing up with ways to make things difficult for him, wanting to snatch the shares in his hands.


    "Let''s go." Hackett stood up.


    Tyler asked, "Where are we going?"


    "I want to see my son. I haven''t seen him for a few days. I suddenly miss him a little." Actually, he was being a bit selfish as he also missed Valena and wanted to see her.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Tyler did not say anything and followed him out of the private room.
