The corners of Valeria''s lips curled up. She reckoned that if Hackett knew about it, he would die of anger on the spot.


    A lie detector for Hackett?


    It was fun just thinking about it.


    Everyone at the dining table had ulterior motives. yton wanted to test Hackett''s character. If he did not dare toe, there must be something wrong. If he came, he would ask all the questions he wanted to ask.


    Elsie was the happiest because she felt that she was about to be able to clear her grievances. This time, whether Hackett came or not, he was dead meat.


    If he came, that would prove her innocence. It would prove she wasn''t lying even more if he didn''te.


    In any case, it was in her favor because she was 100% sure the man that night was Hackett. She had never thought of a second possibility.


    If the man that night was not Hackett but some wild man, Elsie did not dare to imagine. She felt that she might break down and gopletely crazy. "A lie detector?"


    As expected, Hackett''s pitch-ck eyes were filled with disbelief


    To think that this old crafty man could think of it. He actually wanted to use a lie detector to test the authenticity of his words.


    It was an insult to his character!


    Tyler, standing beside, tried his best to hold back hisughter. He never thought Hackett would one day be asked to use a he detector. This was simply ridiculous. However, he forced himself to hold back hisughter and asked. Then... are you going or not?"


    To be honest, it was very embarrassing whether he went or not. But he still had to make a choice.


    If he went, his character would be insulted. If he didn''t go, it would seem like he had tacitly agreed that the man that night was him.


    Hackett wanted to strangle the bastard who slept with Elsie that night. Why did he use his name to sleep with Elsie and cause him so much trouble?


    Hackett''s face darkened as he nced at Tyler coldly. "I''ll Go! What if I don''t go? They would think that I''m guilty."


    "Mr. James, I think so too. If we don''t go, we''ll look guilty. It''s just a lie detector. If you''re not lying, the lie detector won''t detect anything." Tyler exined to him solemnly. In the end, Mr. James gave him a cold look, and he instantly shut up. Hackett sneered. "You seem very excited. Are you very interested in the lie detector?"


    "No... I only want to see what the lie detector looks like. The lie detector that old crafty man yton used must have been imported from abroad..." As he spoke, Tyler revealed his thoughts. He wanted to see what Mr. James looked like when he was tested by the lie detector on the spot.


    It was interesting just thinking about it, aha...

    Hackett scoffed


    It seemed yton, the old crafty man, did not believe him. Instead, he believed Elsie''s words. However, it was understandable. After all, he was his biological daughter. However, it was a little disgusting to ask him to use a lie detector


    Night fell


    Hackett arrives at the Maddox''s vi as promised. When he entered, a soft little body pounced into his arms and called, "Daddy! I missed you so much Long time no see!


    He had indeed note to see this little guy for a few days. The few days, he had been busy investigating the thing about Elsie. Coupled with a lot of work in thepany, he did not have time toe. mani


    The man picked up his son. "I miss you too. I''ve been a little busy with work recently. I''ll pick you up from school each day when I''m done, okay?"


    "Yay! The little one hugged the man''s neck happily. He was a miniature version of Hackett.


    Valeria walked over and gently patted the little one''s butt. "Alex, you should take a shower. Julia has been looking for you."


    "I don''t want to, I want to y with Daddy. I haven''t seen Daddy in a long time." The little one hugged the man''s neck tightly as if someone would separate them.


    "y with Daddy after you shower. Otherwise, your daddy doesn''t want to y with you when you


    stink"


    The little one looked at Hackett. "Daddy, do you despise me? Do I stink?"


    Hackett was very cooperative and deliberately leaned forward to smell it. He frowned and said, "It does stink a little. Why don''t you take a shower, and Daddy will look for youter?" Then... alright."


    Valeria took her son back into her arms and handed him to Julia beside her. She said, "Be good and go take a shower with Julia. Your daddy will look for you after the shower." ""Mommy, don''t lie to me."


    "I won''t lie to you."


    After Julia left with the little one, only Valeria and Hackett were there. The atmosphere became a little awkward.


    "Are you prepared?"


    "What''s there to prepare?" Hackett asked.


    Valeria chuckled. "I thought you wouldn''te. I wonder if this lie detector is urate."


    Hackett didn''t say anything.


    Hackett''s expression darkened. After looking around and seeing no one was around, he suddenly pulled Valeria into his arms and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "What are you doing? We''re in the Maddox family residence! Valeria''s expression instantly changed. She looked around and didn''t see anyone, but it would be awkward if someone saw them


    However, the man did not care. He lowered his head and approached her. He said in a low voice, "Anyone can choose not to believe me, including the lie detector, but you can''t choose not to believe me." INDY C


    ""Why?"

    "Because Leare about your feelings. Do you understand?" With it, the man lowered his head and bit her lips as if he were punishing her.


    Valeria grunted in pain and pushed the man away. "Are you crazy?


    At this moment, the voices of the Maddox family people came from upstairs. They must have known that Hackett was here, so they came down.


    Valeria quickly stood aside and tidied up her clothes. Meanwhile Hackett stood there calmly, waiting for this ridiculous trial.


    It was ridiculous that his character needed to be tested by a lie detector.


    ally since Valeria


    Although it was ridiculous, he still came because he didn''t want anyone to suspect him in this aspect, especially was also here.


    yton and his wife slowly walked downstairs. When they saw him, their expressions were solemn.


    Elsie and Kaden followed behind them without saying a word. However, one could see a trace of smugness on Elsie''s face very well. It was as if she felt her goal was about to be achieved.


    Everyone came to the living room on the first floor. yton said. "Hackett, I know this is a little ridiculous, but since things havee to this point, I think this is also an exnation for everyone. I hope you can understand my actions Hackett''s expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "There''s no need to say too much. Since I''m here, it means I also want to prove myself. It''s just that your doubts about me make me doubt your character." Instantly, there was silence.


    Valeria was stunned.


    This damn man''s aura was indeed strong. He was the number one "suspect, but he still doubted the character of everyone. present and turned
