At this point, everyone else was even more suspicious.They could not believe their Miss Haley would be such a person!Having Mr. Ford was not enough, she was also doing this kind of thing with an employee in the office.One really couldn’t judge a book by its cover!Haley could tell they misunderstood immediately, feeling a tightness in her chest.She glared angrily at William, lowering her voice to warn him, "Don't be so arrogant.""How could I? I can’t get enough of Miss Haley," he replied ambiguously, as if confirming his relationship with Haley.His tone was outrageously bold, with no intention of hiding anything, sparking wild imaginations.After he finished speaking, he chuckled softly and walked out without looking back, ignoring the various looks from the crowd.Haley took a deep breath, wanting to pull William back immediately to explain everything to everyone.However, his figure quickly disappeared, and he was already too far to call back.In the large office, th
In the afternoon, Sue came to the office and said to Haley, "Miss Haley, there is a charity banquet at Cloud Court Hotel tonight. The organizers have invited you to attend, and the dress is already prepared.""Alright," Haley nodded, acknowledging the information.After a moment, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Sue behind her."Sue, you don't need to accompany me tonight. I'll take Cathy with me."Sue was taken aback, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes as she asked urgently, "Why? Miss Haley, have I done something wrong?"Haley smiled and shook her head, her gaze falling on Sue's abdomen as she spoke, "You're pregnant now. It's best not to wear such high heels. The banquet will be crowded, and it wouldn't be good if the baby got hurt."Haley had always loved children. Although she had not planned on having any soon, it was part of her future plans. A perfect and happy family would not be complete without a child, the symbol of love.Sue had not expected
Noticing the various gazes from the crowd, Haley pressed her lips together slightly, tightening her grip on Shane's hand. Shane glanced down, seeing her tense expression, and immediately wrapped an arm around her, pulling her into his embrace.He lowered his head, whispering softly in her ear, "Don't be nervous, I'm here."Haley instinctively looked up, meeting Shane's eyes filled with warmth and encouragement. Whether it was his mesmerizing gaze or the sense of security he provided, Haley felt her tension melt away.She relaxed, her eyes curving into a smile as she beamed at Shane. "Okay!"In that instant, it seemed as if the entire banquet hall dimmed in comparison to her radiance. Shane smiled as he resisted the urge to kiss her. Instead, he guided her into the hall with an arm around her shoulders.The Cloud Court Hotel was part of the Ford Corporation's business empire, so the banquet organizer greeted Shane with great enthusiasm, even coming out to personally welcome him.
Jenny's expression turned cold as she struggled forcefully. "Sir, please show some respect. There are so many people watching. Aren't you afraid of losing face?"To her surprise, the man showed no fear. Instead, his grin grew wider. "Oh, so it's because there are too many people here that you won't agree? Then let's go upstairs. I have a presidential suite here. Don't worry, sweetheart, I'll make sure you have a great time!"He leaned in, attempting to kiss her lips. Jenny screamed and looked around for help, but everyone else either looked indifferent or even pitied her. No one stepped forward to help because the man was the father of a high-ranking official in Jasper City and the banquet organizer had strong ties with this official.Just as Jenny was losing hope, a figure suddenly rushed over and punched the middle-aged man in the face."Bastard! You dare touch my woman? You must be tired of living!"The man cried out in pain, falling to the ground and clutching his face."Wh
She grasped Haley's hand and gently shook her head, "I'm fine. It was Henry who helped me."Following Jenny's gaze, Haley saw Henry and felt a surge of anger. If Henry had not arrived in time, Jenny would have been bullied!Absolutely infuriating!When Henry saw Shane, his eyes brightened, and he called out, "Shane."Shane nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the man lying on the ground, groaning in pain."Mr. Lawson?"The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, thinking his savior had arrived. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I’m Frank Lawson. Mr. Ford, you have a great memory. Please ask Mr. Green to let me go. We're all friends here. What's the point of this?"Shane raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a cold smile. "I do have a good memory, but I don't recall Jasper City being ruled by anyone named Lawson."Although he spoke calmly, his words carried an undeniable sense of intimidation.The middle-aged man's face twitched, and he quickly shook his head. "No, no, in Jasper
Noticing the hesitation and fear in Jenny's eyes, Henry immediately said, "There's no need. If you truly feel sorry, warn him that if he ever bothers Jenny again, he’ll be making an enemy of the Green family."His voice was clear and magnetic, and Jenny's heart skipped a beat when she heard it.The organizer nodded repeatedly, promising that the middle-aged man would never bother Jenny again. Only then did Henry relent.Satisfied with the response, Henry cast a cold glance at the organizer, took Jenny's hand, and led her out of the banquet hall.Watching them leave, Haley blinked in confusion, her eyes filled with bewilderment. "What is going on with them?"Seeing her puzzled expression, Shane chuckled softly. He placed his palm on Haley's head, gently ruffling her hair. "Isn't it obvious yet?"It was as if something exploded in Haley's mind, clearing away the fog. Her eyes widened in shock. "You mean... Henry likes Jenny?""Yes, I've known Henry for many years, and I've never s
Hearing her words, he laughed out loud. His deep, sexy voice resonated in his chest as he laughed.Haley's cheeks were burning, and she awkwardly rubbed her ears, feeling a current of electricity run through them. "Shane, that's enough! Stop laughing at me!"As soon as she finished speaking, a warm, strong arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. Haley, unprepared, found herself pressed against a solid chest. She looked up instinctively and saw Shane gazing down at her with his mesmerizing eyes."I'm not laughing at you. I'm happy."Haley huffed, "What's there to be happy about? I think you're just laughing at me!"So what if she was momentarily enchanted by his good looks? What's so shameful about admiring her own husband?Feeling the softness in his arms, Shane's heart melted completely. He lowered his head and gently kissed Haley's smooth forehead, a smile playing on his lips. "Not laughing. I like seeing you get flustered over me."Haley blinked
Henry secretly smiled and made a "please" gesture. Jenny had no choice but to get into his car.Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Jenny's apartment building. She glanced at Henry and said, "Thank you for helping me out today, Mr. Green."Henry lightly tapped the steering wheel and raised an eyebrow, "Oh? And how do you plan to thank me?"Jenny hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "I'll treat you to dinner another day, but I can't afford anything too expensive."Although she had found a job, she was still behind on her rent.Henry did not seem to mind. He nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll look forward to it. Go get some rest now. It's quite late."Jenny nodded, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car. Back at home, she let out a long sigh of relief. For some reason, being alone with Henry always made her inexplicably nervous.What was she thinking? Someone with Henry's background and status would never want to be involved with her. She patted
