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.

    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

    “You...” Hailey couldn’t understand why Travis was making this sudden decision. It was too abrupt!If Luna knew Travis had made such a decision, she would definitely be furious.Travis reached out to wipe Hailey’s mouth and said, “I told you. I admire her talent. I also confessed that at one point, my admiration for her grew to where I developed a slight fondness for her. However, my admiration for her never escalated to where I desired to be with her unconditionally. Given this situation, it would be beneficial for everyone to maintain a safe distance. Besides, she’s married now. There’s certainly more need to avoid suspicions.”Hailey was speechless. She couldn’t believe Travis had actually said those words.“You truly took her needs into consideration.” Her hangover had left her dazed and confused. As a result, she blurted out her inner thoughts.Travis furrowed his brows. The incident at the restaurant and the competition had profoundly shaped Hailey’s thoughts about her relations

    “Yes,” Matthew said. “What did you talk about?”When Hailey heard Matthew’s question, she immediately perked up. Her eyes were still on her phone, but her attention was now fully on the conversation between Travis and Matthew.Travis described the conversation he had with Christian that day. In the end, he said, “I plan to accept his proposal and cooperate with the Ford family. Do you have any opinions?”Travis still hadn’t mentioned Jodie, Christian’s sister, to Hailey. Currently, Hailey held a grudge against Matthew. If Hailey learned that a celebrity was interested in Matthew, she might resort to the same tactic Matthew had used against them the previous day to exact revenge. The situation might lead to significant issues.Travis didn’t mention that. Certainly, Matthew also didn’t mention Jodie. Christian...Matthew said, “I have no opinions.” It is not possible to discuss those two distinct incidents simultaneously. We should distinguish between business and personal matters.Trav

    “The grandmother has already decided for Violet to leave the company.”That was all Hailey said in her report to Travis.Travis, who was currently attending a dinner, couldn’t help but laugh at the brief statement. He thought Hailey would at least give him a full report on what exactly Lilian had said, but she didn’t.She was a woman of few words, wasn’t she?“And the others?” Travis asked when she offered nothing else.Actually, receiving a call from his mother before Hailey came to him, he didn’t need her report to know what his grandmother had said. Thalia had told him everything.But Travis wanted to hear what Hailey had to say. He felt a little regretful about having to attend this dinner tonight.“You can ask your mother about the others,” Hailey replied.Travis inwardly sighed. She was really keeping him in suspense!“Mr. Blake,” a warm voice interrupted Travis’ thoughts.Looking up, he saw a young woman who seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn’t remember who she was. He nodd

    On this day, Hailey’s journey to the ancient chapel of the Blake matriarch was turbulent. First, she received a call from Rowena while on her way there.“What’s up with that video of Violet? Is it real or fake?” Rowena asked.Hailey was surprised. “You saw that video too?”“That video is all over her company right now. Why is it strange for me to see it too?” Rowena replied.“That video is real. Special effects were edited in, but the content is completely real,” Hailey responded.“You speak as if you were a personal witness to the incident.” Just as Rowena said that she halted. “It can’t be that you were the one who recorded the video, right?”Hailey covered up the truth, saying, “It had nothing to do with me. Someone else recorded it, but the content is true.”“Fine. Do you know what to say if your grandmother asks you about this?” Rowena asked.Mary Hewitt had played a good game, even shamelessly sending her niece to Travis. She had always exalted herself, and now she was going to

    Hailey was stunned. What did he mean when he said he was disgusted with Violet that afternoon?“What’s wrong with him?” Hailey asked.Initially, she wanted to push Travis away. But when she heard his words, her resistant hands lightly settled on his waist.“During my lunch meeting, she hurried in, looking dirty, and asked for permission to go home and change clothes. It was really disgusting,” Travis said.Hailey knew Travis didn’t like Violet, but she didn’t expect him to feel disgusted by her as well. His obsession with cleanliness, which he was unwilling to admit, left her speechless.After giving it some thought, she couldn’t resist asking, “So, are you full now?”Travis was about to say he was fine, even if he wasn’t full, when a thought crossed his mind. He quickly changed his words.“No,” he said calmly.“So, would you like me to place an order for delivery?” Hailey inquired after a brief pause. Hailey inquired after a brief pause.“Forget it.” Travis hugged her without moving.

    The middle-aged woman looked at Hailey, and she knew she was a secretary in the secretarial department. After a brief pause, she said, “That was the new secretary, right? When he passed by me, his leg twisted. He stumbled into me, causing my bucket to tip over. The dirty water from the bucket splashed on his body and dirtied his clothes.”Seeing that she was talking to someone from the secretarial department who could report to the boss on her behalf, the middle-aged woman recounted the dispute she had just had with Violet. She told the story vividly.Wiping away tears, she added sadly, “I can’t afford to compensate her with such expensive clothes, so she threatened to kill me. I’m uncertain about her intentions, but if Mr. Blake inquires about this incident, you were also present. Say something positive on my behalf.”Hailey was speechless. This cleaner had quite a talent for acting. Hailey thought Violet’s leg might have twisted because of the pain from her shoes. She might have acc

    “I didn’t go for Mr. Blake’s sake. To fulfill my family’s task, I felt compelled to take part in the matchmaking party.”If Michelle had never said those words to Hailey, then even if the latter had found out that the former was interested in Travis, she wouldn’t have held a grudge. However, it was precisely because of those words that Hailey felt deceived. No one would feel comfortable with this kind of feeling, especially Hailey, who had fallen in love with Travis.Michelle was well aware of this. Although Michelle was unaware that Hailey also harbored feelings for Travis, that Michelle had deceived Hailey and planned to exploit her left a negative impression on this junior member of the Blake family.Even though Hailey didn’t hold a significant position in the family, she was still considered a young lady. Being part of the Blake family, she could meet the elders at any time. If she were to utter disparaging remarks about Michelle in their presence, she might face consequences.Mic

    Helena listened to Travis’s words with fear. She had never mentioned Luna in front of Hailey, so the latter must have heard about her from others.“Mr. Blake, Mrs. Stewart asked me before if any participant required special care, but I didn’t tell her,” Helena said anxiously.“I didn’t ask you who revealed the news to her,” Travis replied.Mrs. Lilian learned about this matter from the moment she appointed Hailey as her secretary. Travis had no intention of assigning blame to anyone.And he continued, “I just wanted to tell you that in the future, if Hailey wants to know something about the competition, you can tell her everything. Luna is my friend, so I will take care of her specially. However, I want to avoid any rumors that suggest Luna and I are more than just friends.”Helena’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that someone had told Hailey something they shouldn’t have? And did Travis also hear it? However, given his reluctance to probe into the source of the information, it’s l

    “I am a person who is... practical and realistic. Hailey laughed and said, “If someone is ugly, then they are ugly, and vice versa.”Travis replied, “The range of people you think are charming is too broad.” He pointed with a finger at the hero’s face, where the video had stopped. “This guy is ugly. It’s a waste of time and life to look at them.”Hailey looked at Travis resentfully. Then, her gaze drifted to the ambiguous hero on the tablet. Suddenly, she felt that the TV drama she was currently watching was boring.The living Travis stood in front of her. He could defeat all the heroes with his looks and behavior. Indeed, his romance and sweetness paled compared to those of the drama heroes.At first, she didn’t find it difficult to eat or sleep without watching TV dramas. Sometimes, she found herself at a loss for what to do when she was with Travis. As a result, she would either play, read a book, or watch a TV drama as entertainment, just as she was doing now.She closed the video

    If it were any other matter, Hailey would certainly accept it happily. She could learn many things from a project as it developed from scratch. Regrettably, the project required cooperation with Christian. She couldn’t meet Christian too often.“Let’s forget about it.” She pretended to consider it briefly before saying, “I don’t want to get involved with my friend at work.”Her response was in line with her attitude of always avoiding trouble. Therefore, Travis didn’t dwell on it too much.Hailey was reluctant, so he didn’t want to force her. Next time, he wouldn’t force Hailey to do something she didn’t want to. If Hailey didn’t want to supervise Christian’s new project, he would forget it.“By the way, Hailey. Do you know about Christian’s family background?” Matthew was curious and wanted to know if Hailey knew about Jodie.Hailey still had a blank look. “I don’t. I’ve never asked about that. I know his family established a company, and their family status is quite good. Regarding
