In the morning, the head of Ford Corporation's design department arrived at JY on time to discuss the cooperation with Haley.The representative said, "Madam, I apologize for the delay. Ford Corporation recently took on a large order and hasn't had time to come to JY for the cooperation discussions. The contract is ready for your review."Because the CEO of JY was the wife of their CEO, and given Shane's explicit instructions, the contract was exceptionally generous. It was unmatched in the industry.As Haley read through the contract, she could not help but show a look of surprise. She had expected Shane to ensure a favorable deal, but she had not anticipated the extent to which the terms and profit shares favored JY.She frowned slightly, remaining silent for a while.Seeing her reaction, the representative couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy and asked cautiously, "Madam, is there an issue with the contract?"Haley shook her head and smiled. "The contract is perfect. It's just
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Haley nodded slightly, a soft smile spreading across her lips. "It's done."As soon as the words left her mouth, the office erupted into excited cheers. Everyone spontaneously formed a circle around Haley, shouting joyfully, almost as if they could raise the roof with their enthusiasm.Haley could not hide her smile. After celebrating with them for a while, she quickly calmed them down. "Alright, the other departments still need to work. Be careful not to get complaints."Upon hearing this, everyone toned down their excitement, but their faces were still lit with joy. Seeing them so happy made Haley feel happy too."This is a rare opportunity for you all. I hope you make the most of it," she said.Everyone nodded eagerly, looking unusually obedient. "Don't worry, Miss Haley, we will!"Haley's smile widened. "There's one last thing."Everyone held their breath, curious about what she would say next. Haley paused for a moment, building suspe
Suddenly remembering something, Henry leaned in closer and said, "Shane, you must have some experience in this area. Help a friend out!"Although he was not very good at pursuing someone, he could tell that Jenny didn't like him. She even seemed... annoyed by him. There was no spark between them at all. If things continued like this, he might never get a wife!With this realization, Henry felt a sudden sense of urgency and looked at Shane with even more anticipation.Shane, feeling slightly uncomfortable under Henry's intense gaze, instinctively took a step back. He cleared his throat and, maintaining his composure, said, "Honestly, I'm not that experienced either..."Henry gave him a skeptical look. "Come on! Don't tell me your wife just fell for you on her own?"Shane pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Not exactly. I found an excuse to bring her home."It was partly luck. At that time, Haley had just gone through a betrayal and was emotionally exhausted, so she didn't
Although they were strict with criminals, they never denied them the right to contact their families. After a moment of thought, Haley slowly said, "Fine, tell him that I'll come by this afternoon." She was curious about what Joe wanted.After hanging up, she asked Layla to reschedule her afternoon appointments, then headed to the police station. After explaining her purpose, a female officer escorted her to where Joe was being held.Haley waited in the visiting room for a while until she heard footsteps approaching from outside. She looked up to see Joe, whom she had not seen in a long time. He looked very different, much thinner than before, and his hair was now cut short. However, his spirit seemed better than before. His gaze was cold but less harsh than it used to be.As Haley observed Joe, he was also observing her. At first glance, Joe hardly recognized her. In the few months he had been in prison, he had rarely thought about his daughter. In his memory, she was still
"Ruthless?" Haley's lips curved into a cold, mocking smile. "The real ruthless person who caused all of this is you, isn't it?"If Joe had not been messing around outside, Xena would not even exist. He was the one truly responsible for all of this!Joe could not meet her eyes, his face full of guilt and shame. Softening his tone, he said, "Haley, I know I wronged you, but Xena is your sister, and she's pregnant. Can't you forgive her and let her go?"Haley stared at him with her icy expression. She shook her head slowly. "Joe, you don't even know what you're truly sorry for. You're not genuinely apologizing. How can I forgive you?"Joe was taken aback.Haley continued, "The person you truly wronged wasn't just me. It was my mom."Joe's greatest wrong was against Yvonne. He had an affair while married and fathered an illegitimate daughter. He even tried to take over JY, attempting to seize all of Yvonne's inheritance. He did not deserve her, let alone her love.Joe's expressi
"What... what do you think you’re doing?" Joe stammered.Haley did not answer. She slowly raised her hand. Joe instinctively tried to dodge, but his back hit the wall. There was nowhere to go. Panic seized him, and he shouted, "Haley, what are you doing? I’m your father! This is outrageous!"Seeing his fearful expression, Haley let out a scornful laugh. "Aren’t you the one who wronged me first? Joe, I’ve never met someone as shameless as you."Hitting him would only dirty her hands. Haley lowered her hand, suppressing her disgust. "I didn’t come here to listen to your nonsense. If there's nothing else, I’ll be leaving. Reflect on your actions while you’re stuck here."Joe was involved in economic crimes with solid evidence against him. He would not be getting out anytime soon. Haley turned and walked towards the door, but Joe’s enraged voice stopped her."Haley, don’t you want to know why I’ve always hated you and your mother?"Haley paused and slowly turned back. "What d
Joe's almost hysterical voice echoed down the hallway, drilling into Haley's ears. Her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched into tight fists, and her almond-shaped eyes brimmed with intense hatred."Joe, no matter what you think of me, you have no right to speak about my mother like that!"My mom loved you so much. How dare you talk about her that way?""Hahaha..." Joe could not help but laugh, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Why? Because I was cheated on for years! Yvonne was nothing but a whore. I said it, what can you do about it?"Joe had kept this bottled up for over twenty years, a nightmare haunting him. Today, he finally let it out. He no longer had to bear this torment alone. Everyone thought he was lucky to marry Yvonne, but they did not know she was nothing but a disgrace to him!Unable to bear it any longer, Haley walked back to Joe and slapped him hard. This time, she put all her strength into it, making Joe's face turn."You must have gone mad from being lock
"Could it be Sue who told her?" Joe thought to himself.A few days ago, Sue had come to see him. He had instructed her to find a way to ruin JY's collaboration with Morning Dew Design Co. Could it be that things had already been exposed?Nervously, he struggled to explain himself to Haley. But the police, thinking he was about to attack her, tightened their grip and shouted, "Don't move! Stay still!"Seeing Joe in such a pitiful state, Haley did not feel any satisfaction. She shook her head and turned to leave without saying anything more. No matter how much Joe yelled for her to come back, she did not look back.As she left the police station, she noticed a familiar car. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly walked over.Shane got out of the car and opened his arms, "Haley."At the sight of him, Haley felt a lump in her throat. The suppressed grievances and sadness surged like a tidal wave. She rushed into Shane's arms, tears streaming down her face."Mr. Ford..."Hearin
