E widened her eyes as she read the haseless spections in thements. "These people have gone too far. They''re making wild guesses without knowing anything and spreading rumors! This is a serious and heavy matter. How can they casually spread rumors?" Valeria let out a sneer. They won''t care about that. They think they''re anonymous online and do not know each other, so they can say whatever they want. And they believe there won''t be any consequences. If James Group dared to take action against them, they would boycott all of James Group''s products and call Hackett stingy" "Thesements are really infuriating. The more I read, the angrier I get. I''m done reading." E couldn''t stand it any longer and put the tablet aside.


    At this moment, Alex excitedly ran over. "Mommy, it''s the weekend Is Daddy corning to take me out to y?"


    Now?


    Hackett was probably swamped with thepany''s matter and likely wouldn''t remember to take Alex out.


    Valeria patiently exined to Alex, "Alex, Daddy is really busy today. We should understand that. What do you think? Hearing this, Alex drooped his head. Although he was unhappy, he pouted and said, "Okay, I''ll y by myself tonight." Valeria smiled and gently touched his cheek. "Good boy, Alex. E and I will reward you with shrimp tomorrow."


    Yeah! Sounds great!"


    Alex happily turned and ran back to the yroom.


    E couldn''t help but ask again, "Valeria, do you think Mr. Jarnes really had something with that female secretary? Otherwise, why would she jump off the building andmit suicide for no reason?"


    "It''s impossible."


    Valeria responded without hesitation. Her response was fast and decisive. It was like she knew this person very well.


    "I mean, just


    in


    case, what if


    "There are no just in case''s. There are no what-ifs. Valeria interrupted. "I know Hackett. He''s not that kind of person. When he said Nancy wasn''t his first love, then she wasn''t. It''s not because he has an impable character but because he disdains lying. He has the means to handle any consequences. If he impregnated Nancy as the inte ims, he would have her keep the child. The James family can certainly support the child. So, your scenarios don''t hold water."


    E was sessfully convinced and nodded. She said, "When you put it that way, it does make sense. Your ex-husband. seems decent, and he''s reliable in handling things like this."


    Valeria gave a wry smile. "That''s right. Even if he''s a scoundrel, he''s a straightforward one. He won''t let you hold onto any expectations."


    At this moment, she stared at the TV screen because the news was also covering the incident.


    It seemed she would have to make a trip to thepany tomorrow. Regardless of the situation, she was still the legal consultant of thepany. Hence, how could she stand by and do nothing in such a situation? The next day, early morning.


    Valeria changed into a professional outfit and drove herself to James Group.


    As she entered the lobby on the first floor, she saw an elderly couple holding a banner. The banner was written, "Bring back our daughter''s lifet"


    Valeria stopped in her tracks and looked at the couple. Could these be Nancy''s parents?:Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Usually, in such situations, the family would handle the funeral for a few days before seeking justice. However, They came to thepany to cause a scene on the second day. They were likely motivated by money. At this moment, a security guard approached. "Ms. Sharp, please walk away. Don''t stare at them. If they catch someone. they''ll start crying andining"


    "Do you just let them stand here? Valeria asked.


    The security guard exined helplessly. "We have no choice. We tried to invite them to a meeting room to talk, but they insisted on standing here for everyone to see. I don''t even know who they''re performing for." "Performing?


    The security guard discreetly shared with Valeria, saying, "These elderly folks are quite shameless. Before Nancymitted suicide, they came to thepany and demanded money from her, and even resorted to physical violence in front of so many people. After they left, Nancy jumped off the building. And now they have the nerve toe here and seek justice."


    After hearing this, Valeria understood what was going on. She had a rough idea of why Nancy jumped off the building to end her life.


    Valeria nced at the old couple and suddenly felt no sympathy for them. She prepared to walk toward the elevator.


    The security guard politely said, "Ms. Sharp, please take the left elevator. The one on the right is under maintenance today "Thank you," Valeria said and headed toward the elevator.


    The elderly couple saw the security guard treat Valeria politely and thought she was a higher-up in thispany. Their eyes immediately lit up. They hurriedly approached and grabbed Valeria.


    "Miss, are you the higher-up of thispany? Are you all avoiding the responsibility for my daughter''s death? She died so unjustly because of thispany! The elderly couple implored furiously. Valeria looked helpless. She was forcibly pulled back and had to face the elderly couple.


    "Tam not a higher-up, but I am the legal consultant of thispany."


    The elderly man asked, "A legal consultant? Doesn''t it mean you''re awyer? Can you seek justice for our daughter? You must seek justice for our daughter. Please help us."


    Seeing this, the security guard hurriedly ran toward them. He pulled Valeria away and stood in front of her protectively. He said, "Sir, madam, what are you doing? She is the legal consultant of ourpany. She only ensures fairness and benefits for ourpany. If you want awyer, you''ll have to hire one yourself." "What? Do you only work for thispany? Thispany caused the death of our daughter, and you''re still working for these scumbags. Hmph! You''re not a good person either! The elderly man''s eyes turtied malicious in an instant.


    The elderly couple went back to standing aside with their banner, tearfully recounting their own misfortunes to the employees passing by.


    "Ms. Sharp, please leave quickly, or you might not be able to leaveter. The security guard advised.


    Valeria nodded and stepped into the elevator.


    In the CEO''s office, a knock came from outside the door.


    G uw.


    Hackett didn''t lift his head as he responded. "Come in.


    The office door was pushed open, and Hackett was busy signing document.


    Hackett didn''t even notice Valeria sitting across from him until he looked up after finishing his work. He met her bright and clear eyes.


    Hackett had a moment of surprise but quickly regained hisposure. "Why are you here? You shouldn''te at this time. There are reporters everywhere."


    "I am the legal consultant, and isn''t this the time when thepany needs me the most?" Valeria replied.


    Hackett was speechless.


    To be honest, he didn''t want Valeria to get involved in this matter


    Valeria leaned back in her chair and did not beat around the bush. "Have you figured out how to handle this? The elderly couple is quite persistent. They''re nearly a hundred and fifty years oldbined. The security guard says they''ve been standing there for over ten hours, crying andining. It''s not easy for them."


    Hackett scoffed. "It''s worth the effort for a heftypensation. They''re eager to stand a bit longer if it means getting morepensation."
