On the third morning after Violet started working at the company, she waited for Hailey to go to the tearoom. She took her cup and followed Hailey. First, she smiled at Hailey before approaching her.

“Sister.” Hailey was stunned. Then, she looked around carefully. Luckily, there were no other colleagues around.

“Don’t address me like that in the company.” She smiled briefly and said softly, “Call me Mrs. Stewart.” Although she said that, she found it strange deep down. Why did Violet suddenly think of addressing Hailey as her sister-in-law? Why didn’t she do it two days ago?

Two days ago, they didn’t even greet each other when Helena told the others that there were new colleagues and asked them to get to know each other. They just smiled slightly and nodded when they met.

“Alright. I’ll be careful next time.” Violet smiled.

Although she felt a slight disdain towards Hailey, she didn’t show it on the surface. Her aunt gave her sincere advice. Now, it was time to act properly. She neede

    “No, how is it possible for me to give up? I feel it’s strange. So, I wanted to confirm it with you,”Violet asked.“You don’t have to meddle in other people’s affairs. Didn’t I tell you not to worry about Delilah? Why does she require your attention? Mrs. Lilian holds a negative opinion of her, making her chances of success slim. Note those reliable ones,” Mary said.Mary gave Violet sincere advice again. Mary’s main request was for Violet to persist, even when others make things difficult for her.Mary said, “If you feel intimidated, it’s in your favor.”“Try to think about it. If you can endure such a difficult position, it means you are a quite persistent and strong woman. Mrs. Lilian will have a new perspective on you. I must tell you beforehand. Mrs. Lilian told me that if you don’t work properly, she would be the first person to expel you. You better think things through.”“I got it.” Violet closed her eyes and imagined the extravagance she would have after becoming Travis’s wif

    Hailey was surprised. “Me?”Travis said, “Don’t worry. This house has been transferred to your name and has been approved by everyone.”Of course, he didn’t want to tell Hailey that some people had opposed that decision. However, he and Grandma thought that by doing so, she could distinguish between reward and punishment. Therefore, the objections of others were temporary.Seeing that Hailey still couldn’t understand, Travis said again, “Grandma claims she is not a stingy person. Therefore, she gave you a necklace. I am not a stingy person either, so I gave you this house. Its value is approximately as high as the necklace Grandma gave you.”After hearing that, Hailey was speechless.“Is that necklace as expensive as this house?” She could hardly believe what she had heard.Although that wasn’t the focus here, Travis still patiently said, “Yes.”Hailey drew in a sharp breath. What had she just heard? “I better go to the bank tomorrow and get a safe deposit box,” she muttered.“Where d

    Hailey’s decision to move slightly took aback even Mrs. Lilian. On the day Mrs. Lilian announced her decision to make new arrangements for Hailey’s house, Hailey’s expression of disgust was clear. Mrs. Lilian even believed that Hailey would try to postpone the move to the new house for a while.Unexpectedly, Hailey moved quickly. When Mrs. Lilian inquired about the reason, Hailey responded candidly, “It’s because I didn’t realize the necklace you gave me was so expensive.” “Now, I believe it would be unsafe to keep it in my current house, so I am eager to leap.”Mrs. Lilian found it amusing and asked, “You didn’t know?” “I didn’t,” Hailey replied. “I just thought it was quite expensive. I didn’t expect it to be that expensive.”“How did you find out the value of that necklace?” Mrs. Lilian found it strange. Given that Hailey was unaware of this in the past, could someone please inform her?“I found it when I searched online.” After Travis reminded her, Hailey searched for it online. W

    Gritting her teeth, Hailey asserted, “As a married woman, she should behave.”She still didn’t want to engage with Luna over such a trivial matter. She had to deal with a more important issue.Mrs. Lilian smiled briefly in disapproval before saying, “You are still too young and naïve. If she is a well-behaved person, she wouldn’t have claimed she wanted to come to our house to make us traditional clothes.”Mrs. Lilian also noticed it. Hailey was not very sensitive.She snorted. She displayed a bold and pompous demeanor. She received a small reward and believed she was on par with her teacher. She has no self-awareness at all.”Hailey listened in silence.It was unclear whether Mrs. Lilian’s long-standing prejudice had shaped her opinion of Luna. However, Hailey couldn’t help but admire Mrs. Lilian. Mrs. Lilian truly understood Luna’s character, whether intentionally.“Grandma, don’t be angry.” Hailey endured the bitterness and said, “My brother-in-law is probably very aware of the sit

    Hailey didn’t doubt Mrs. Lilian’s words. Mrs. Lilian was a very intelligent person. She had developed a perspective based on empirical evidence. Her curiosity aligned with that of Madame Lilian. She was curious to see if Luna and Annie would have a grand wedding ceremony similar to their engagement party.Gary finally called her after a long time. He said excitedly, “I asked Cynthia. Actually, she didn’t know either, so she asked her brother. They really registered their marriage. It’s true. Hailey now. Luna will definitely not become your sister-in-law. A family such as the Blake family would undoubtedly forbid her from joining their ranks. At most, she could become your brother-in-law’s mistress.” He clicked his tongue twice. “Tell me. Is your brother-in-law blind? Does cow dung blind him? How did he fall in love with a woman like Luna?”After a pause, Gary must have felt it wasn’t appropriate to make such a statement, given that Travis was Hailey’s brother-in-law. Therefore, he sai

    Hailey didn’t hesitate at all, and it was difficult to refuse Matthew’s kindness. She glanced at Travis before walking towards the dining table. She was about to help Matthew set the plates and glasses on the dining table.Matthew immediately stopped her. “Take a seat. A lady shouldn’t be doing this kind of hard work.”Hailey gazed at the minuscule plates on the food cart, each no larger than her palm. She was speechless. Could carrying such small plates be hard work?Travis approached and pulled out a chair. He then looked at Hailey, gesturing for her to sit.Hailey forced herself not to dwell on how considerate Travis was. She then smiled briefly, expressed her gratitude, and took a seat.After Matthew set the plates properly, he placed a glass of red fruit juice in front of Hailey. “Try this. See if it’s tasty,” he said with a smile.Hailey took a sip. It was sweet and very flavorful. She honestly told Matthew about its taste.“It’s pleasing that it’s tasty.” With a smile, Matthew

    Matthew smiled briefly and shook his head. “After that competition, everyone will remember that you once squandered your money, Luna. For the insiders, they will always remember that Luna is your close friend. If your wife unexpectedly shows up, it will turn into a joke. She will always live under Luna’s shadow.”Travis’s heart raced, making it difficult for him to breathe. “You didn’t say such a thing in the past.”Matthew was stunned for a moment. He had thought little about it, had he? He said bitterly, “I was busy with the Chalcox Club before this. Besides, I didn’t expect you to find someone you would like to spend the rest of your life with so soon. I even thought you would have to wait another eight or ten years before getting married. Then, Luna will fade into oblivion, a relic of the past. Who knew your love would come so soon in such a casual and shocking way? There’s one thing I need to ask you first.”“What?” Travis realized he had answered many questions that day, so he d

    After having the meal that helped her sober up, she didn’t feel any better. But she realized that her current position was very intimate with a deeply ambiguous meaning. They seemed like two people deeply in love.She made a sound in the background. Her memory started to slowly return, and she remembered what had happened the day before.“Don’t get your hopes up,” she thought to herself. “It doesn’t seem like we are deeply in love with each other. He likes another woman. I’m just his convenient lover, whom he uses to satisfy his biological needs. He claimed he wouldn’t treat his wife unfairly. Therefore, he is good to me. Those actions have nothing to do with love.” Her own thoughts hurt Hailey.She shook her head. She realized she had no recollection of what had happened after getting drunk. As such, she asked, “I didn’t kiss you again yesterday, did I?”“You did,” Travis lied without changing his expression. “You even clung to me in front of Matthew. I couldn’t even stop you. I felt

    “Has my mother left?” Travis asked, even though he already knew the answer.Hailey pretended to smile and said, “What a great moment. Don’t tell me someone already informed you of what happened here?”Travis didn’t even blush despite Hailey’s statement and said, “I don’t know about your closed-door discussion.”Hailey looked at Layla, who approached her with a thin blanket and said, “I’ll tell you later.”“Okay. I’ll go now,” Travis said as he hung up the call.Layla covered Hailey, who was resting on the couch, with the blanket. The air conditioning temperature was low.Soon after, Hailey’s phone rang again. It was Travis once more. She didn’t hesitate and answered the call.“My mom is here,”

    Thalia was very punctual.Hailey, Layla, Harry, and Laura stood up and greeted her by the driver’s seat.Originally, Layla wanted to greet her with all the servants standing in a row. However, Hailey said it was unnecessary. She did not organize something so extravagant when her in-laws came last time even though the two were looking for a fight. However, Hailey believed it was more important for her to greet herself. Everything else was not as necessary. Not to mention that with all the servants around, it would be challenging to keep a low profile. They might also be curious about how she would act when Thalia was present. That’s why she managed without them.If she overdid it and accidentally leaked into the main mansion, someone would say she was trying to butter up Thalia.After Thalia exited the car and saw Hailey greeting her at the entrance, she smiled and wrapped her arms tightly around Hailey

    Travis addressed Eva normally. He called her “aunt.” But Eva was so used to being called Madame Winters that she felt uncomfortable with the new term.“Ms. Blake...” She only got out two words when Travis interrupted her.“You’re my elder, so call me Travis,” Travis whispered.If any of the Blake family members had been here, their eyes would surely pop out of their sockets. Travis rarely spoke with such respect, and only a few people had been worthy of such consideration. His grandmother was one of them.Eva’s lips trembled. In the end, she couldn’t say his name. “You... What did you want to tell me?”Either way, there was no way out. She had heard too many unfortunate news, so she thought she could probably bear one more.Travis’s response caught her off guard. “I would like to talk to you about Hailey,” he replied calmly.“Eh?” Eva was f

    Fortunately, Travis didn’t press on about the friend or the photo. After hearing Hailey’s response, he lowered his head and returned to the financial news section.Hailey breathed a sigh of relief. After finishing her breakfast, she gathered her things and prepared for her visit to the hospital. Her uncle’s surgery was scheduled soon, so she wanted to keep him company as much as possible before that.Travis did not know that Hailey was going out. According to his usual schedule, he usually headed to the mansion before lunch. Judging by his bare face and comfortable clothes, she could guess his destination.However, she still asked, “Where are you going?”“To the hospital,” Hailey said.“Yesterday, I went to the mansion and informed Grandma in advance. I can go to the hospital directly now.”Immediately, Travis dropped everything and stood up. “I’m coming with you.”

    When Travis appeared, Hailey continued to check both the study room and the bedroom. The sight of him shocked her greatly.“Didn’t you say you would come back tomorrow?” she asked, confused.Travis was supposed to return from his business trip tomorrow, but here he was.“I finished my work early, so I returned,” Travis replied. He didn’t tell her he had returned a day earlier because Hailey had instructed the servants to clean the villa and store his things to welcome his mother.Hailey said, “Oh, you came back just when I had someone helping me clean up the place. Can you go back to the Imperial Garden tonight? Don’t come tomorrow night either.”Frustrated, Travis questioned the obvious. “Why?”Hailey raised her eyebrows. “Don’t you know? Mrs. Thalia, your mother, will come to inspect my house in two days. I was worried she would check the upstairs, so I kept all

    “About what you mentioned earlier... I think it’s a good idea.”The following day, Travis suddenly brought up this topic to Hailey.Hailey still felt quite dazed, with a bewildered expression. “What?”Travis was calm. “About getting Uncle Liam and Aunt Rowena to have another child.”Hailey instantly woke up. Travis’s words quickly dispelled her drowsiness. “What? Why suddenly?”Travis replied, “I just said; suddenly, I feel like it’s a good idea.”Hailey touched Travis’s forehead and then felt her own. “Do you have a fever or something?”Travis gently removed her hand and held it in his palm, with a serious expression. “I’m serious.”“Serious? Doesn’t it sound like you’re trying to separa

    Hailey was taken aback as if Travis had said something truly horrible.“I don’t know.” She was silent for a while. Then she asked with a blank face, “Can’t you finish this contract before anyone finds out?”Travis tightened his grip on Hailey. Unable to control his strength correctly, he was about to crush her jaw.“Ah...!” Hailey cried out in pain and tried to pry his fingers off.But Travis had no intention of letting go. Hailey’s words were sharp and painful needles that pricked his heart.“So, was it all a misunderstanding? Did she not care for me at all?”At that moment, Travis had never doubted his sixth sense more.“So, what you’re saying is: if someone finds out about us tomorrow, you want to cut ties with me today?” he asked, his face grim. With each word, his heart hardened even more.Hailey thought, “I guess Travis isn’t d

    Christian was a complete gentleman to Hailey. They were friends, but not the kind who had known each other for a long time and could make inappropriate jokes. Therefore, their behavior seemed normal to everyone—everyone except Travis.Travis’s expression had always been icy, so his attitude was nothing unusual to everyone. Even Helena couldn’t tell what he was thinking, let alone anyone else.After dinner, Christian drank some wine and became bolder. He boldly asked Hailey to go out with him over the weekend, saying he had plans with some friends to hike in the suburbs. If she was interested, they could go together.Hailey could feel everyone’s eyes burning holes in her. She smiled, “I’m not sure if I’m free this weekend. I’ll let you know when I’m sure.”Everything seemed normal and harmonious, at least until dinner ended, and Hailey got into the car. After she drove away and lost sight of the o

    When Hailey went to sit down, she looked at Travis. His gaze was elsewhere, and he wasn’t looking at her.Christian, who had been paying attention, noticed who she was looking at. He assumed she was afraid of Travis and sighed with sadness.Since Hailey was being so cautious, he also had to be careful. He didn’t want to make things difficult for her. He knew Hailey was shunning him. If she felt the Blakes would misinterpret things if she got too close to him, she would keep her distance.When Christian arrived at the office building a moment ago, he noticed something. Hailey now had a driver and a bodyguard. The two people accompanying her were probably her driver and bodyguard. They even shamelessly followed her to the company! What the hell happened? Why didn’t he hear anything about this?He had to find the opportunity to ask her about this carefully. Thinking about it, he conclu
