Yumi hurriedly caught up with Hackett, grabbing his arm. "Hackett... can you stay with me for a while?"

Hackett stopped and looked back at her. "It's very late, and I'm tired too. I have a full day of schedule tomorrow. If you're really scared, just let your maid keep you company and talk to you. Besides, I'm a grown man. There's not much for me to talk about with you." With that said, Hackett removed her hand and turned away.

Yumi watched his cold back and gritted her teeth in anger.

Valeria couldn't fall asleep that night. Her mind was filled with thoughts of that wretched man.

The more she thought, the angrier and more aggrieved she felt.

"Hackett! What gives you the right to treat me like this? You were so cruel to me four years ago, and now you're still just as cruel! So what if you have amnesia! Tomorrow, I'll have a car accident and get amnesia too! I'll let you taste your own medicine!" Valeria was almost driven mad by her frustration. She paced back and forth in the bedroom.

In the late hours of the night, Valeria calculated the time and figured it should be getting dark at the Lawrence Manor. She decided to call Tyler to discuss the next steps.

Valeria dialed Tyler's phone, and it took a long time for him to pick up.

From the other end came Tyler's deliberately lowered voice. "Why are you calling me at this hour? I've been looking for the restroom for ages."

"Isn't it dark over there now? Shouldn't you be off work? What are you afraid of?"

"No, I applied for a night patrol shift. I'm currently on patrol. What's up?"

"Since you're busy, forget it then. I don't really have anything urgent. I just wanted to ask how things are over there. I got a call from Alex, and he said he was very happy to see you." Tyler's voice came through the phone. "I can't do much here. I can only protect Alex in secret. By the way, how is Mr. James on your end? Has his memory returned?"This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"No, not only has his memory not returned, but he even seems to be developing some appreciation for Yumi." Valeria was a little down.

"What? How is that possible? It's all my fault! I should have made sure someone took her away before I left! Then Mr. James wouldn't be misled by that woman now!" Valeria sighed. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me what to do now. How can I restore his memory?"

"Don't be in a rush. I'll think of a way. I know a psychologist. Maybe he can help. I'll go find that psychologist, and I'll let you know if there's any news." "Okay

After hanging up the phone, Valeria felt a bit relieved. At least she felt there was still hope.

Hackett's amnesia was indeed a psychological issue, and it was a good idea to consult a psychologist. She couldn't believe she hadn't thought of it earlier. 173

The next day, early morning.

Valeria didn't fall asleep until after five o'clock in the morning, so she didn't know when Hackett left.

The car was already parked in front of the villa, waiting for Hackett.

"Mr. James, there's a meeting at nine o'clock, a meeting with overseas clients at two in the afternoon, and a dinner in the evening..."

The assistant was reporting today's schedule, and Hackett nodded before getting into the car.

Suddenly, Yumi's voice came from behind. "Hackett, wait for me!"

Hackett turned around and saw Yumi running toward him. He frowned and said, "What are you doing here? I'm going to work, not to play. I can't take you."

Moreover, it was impossible for him to work with a woman, especially with Yumi.

Yumi ran up to Hackett. "Hackett, I won't disturb your work. Can I hitch a ride home with you? I've calculated it, and on your way to the company, you'll pass by the road to my house. Just drop me off at the intersection. I'll only have to walk a few hundred feet back home." With things reaching this point, Hackett couldn't refuse, and he let her get into the car.

After getting in the car, Hackett directly instructed the driver, "Take her home first."

"No need, no need. Just drop me off at the intersection of Autumn Road. It's only a few hundred feet. It'll be like a short walk for me."

Hackett didn't say anything more.

So, the driver drove to the intersection of Autumn Road, and Yumi unfastened her seatbelt without hesitation. She waved goodbye to Hackett after getting out of the car. She then turned and left.

But after Hackett's car left, Yumi stopped in her tracks. She turned slowly and watched the car gradually disappear down the street. Then, a strange smile appeared on her face.

Meanwhile, at the James Manor.

Valeria woke up in the afternoon. The maid had knocked on her door several times, but she hadn't woken up. She was finally awakened by a phone call.

Hearing the ringtone, she instantly became alert, quickly reaching for her phone. She thought it might be Tyler with news about the psychologist. However, when she picked up the phone, she saw it was an unfamiliar number.

Valeria answered the call with a disappointed expression. A strange man's voice came through the phone. Ms. Sharp, could you spare some time to meet me? I have a case I'd like to entrust to you."

It turned out a man was looking for her for legal defense, but Valeria had a pile of things to deal with right now, and she didn't have the mood to help someone else with their defense.

In her current state, even if she took on a case for someone else, it would only do them harm, as she wouldn't be fully focused.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not taking on cases recently. I'm busy with my own personal matters..."

Before Valeria could finish her sentence, the man on the phone started to speak with a sobbing tone, "Ms. Sharp, please, I beg you. I know you're an especially talented lawyer. If you help me, my daughter's death won't be in vain. I really can't accept it. My daughter is only three years old."

Chapter 468.

Three years old?

It was the same age as Alex. What on earth had happened? This piqued her curiosity.

Unable to help herself, Valeria asked, "If you don't mind, can you briefly tell me what happened?"

"Ms. Sharp, my daughter was killed by a monster. I really want to die, but I can't bear to watch that monster roam free. He hired the best lawyer, and he might only do a few years in prison before getting out. He might not even go to prison at all. Ms. Sharp, I'm begging you. Please help me!"

As a lawyer, Valeria's sense of justice had been completely stirred It was arfother tragic case, and it involved a poor little girl. Although she might not be able to defend this case herself, she could pass it on to Keith. Keith had quite a reputation in the legal world, and he was particularly skilled in cases like this.

"Then let's meet. I might not be able to defend you, but I can introduce you to a friend of mine, Keith Cooper."

"Is that Keith Cooper from Cooper Law Office? I tried contacting him before, but his secretary turned me away. He refused to see me at all."
