William felt irritated, as the corner of his mouth twitched. “Do these people want to make the problem bigger? I really wish I could switch places with him and let him have some of this luck.”Hailey thought that this misunderstanding had gone too far. She was worried that this could make William look bad.She was currently a widow, so if anyone in the mansion heard these rumors, they might get strange ideas. More importantly, this could lead to additional unwelcome complications for William.“I’m not his girlfriend,” she said in a serious tone. “You’ve misunderstood, we’re just friends.”Everyone who heard this thought the woman was not facing the boss, but they did not know how relieved William was, despite how surprised he seemed.Being in a scandal with the young lady of the Harvey family, who was also his boss’s wife, was extremely terrifying. Hailey’s clarification made him extremely happy, as it eliminated the need for him to act as a shield.“That’s right, don’t say such nonse

Hailey responded, “They have admitted a relative of mine to the hospital because of their illness.”“I will visit them.”She then waved goodbye, showing she was leaving.“What hospital is it? I can take you there,” Christian offered casually. “I’m also heading home.”“Oh, it’s okay, I can just call a taxi!”Just then, Christian spoke up immediately. “Hey, you’re being too polite with me again. Aren’t we friend?”Hailey glanced at Christian and laughed. “He just invited me to lunch, but he thinks I don’t see him as a friend, silly.”Unable to refuse, Hailey told him the name of the hospital.Christian asked Hailey to wait on the roadside while he went to get his car.On the way to the parking lot, he made a call. “Professor Leslie, I’m sending a friend to your hospital because she needs to visit a relative. We’ll be there in an hour, so I’ll call you when we’re almost there. Help me find out which patient she’s visiting.”“Do I just need to find out who this patient is?” Leslie Stewart

“Oh, so that was it,” Hailey said with doubts. “But I didn’t expect him to thank me like that. Also, I forgot to charge my phone last night, so it probably ran out of battery.”“How could we accept this?” Finn noticed nothing unusual about her words and proceeded further.“At first, we knew nothing about this either, the doctor just said my room was changed. It wasn’t until then that we realized how beneficial the change had been. When we asked the doctor to change it back, he responded he had no say in the matter. And the regular rooms are completely full, someone else took immediately my previous bed when I changed rooms.”He sighed. “Please talk to him, we appreciate the offer, but a few days of such luxury are enough. Being in the hospital for so long wouldn’t benefit me if I owed him a big favor. Also, ask him to help us find a space in the regular rooms so I can change back.”Hailey thought, “It was probably Travis Blake’s orders. Is this one privilege that comes with being his

The three people in the house made no comments about Hailey’s clothes or the bag she was carrying.Travis Blake’s judgment had been impeccable. The clothes Hailey was wearing, which she had considered expensive, were nothing but ordinary everyday clothing as far as those three ladies were concerned. Even if someone like Hailey wore the clothes, they did not express any protest at the moment.Finally, the girl was wearing something decent for once. They thought to themselves, remembering those horrible clothes from before. It had been a shame for the Harvey household, as if they couldn’t even afford some simple clothes for their new daughter-in-law.After what seemed like an eternity, the older adult matriarch finally finished her prayers and opened her eyes. Her eyes lit up when she saw Hailey, and she was satisfied with what she saw. So, the girl had finally learned to dress a little better.“Well, why don’t you find a seat?” she asked. “Why are you standing there?”These words from

Rowena felt relieved to hear Maria’s outcry. She wasn’t the only one who disagreed with this turn of events. Thank God.Hailey couldn’t understand why her grandmother went to such lengths for her sake. She didn’t remember doing anything to earn that favor. She thought about it a lot, but her best guess was that the old matriarch sought peace in the house above all else. That had to be the reason for all of this.This notion slightly improved her opinion of the old woman.The old matriarch looked at Maria. This daughter-in-law of hers, always making a fuss over slight concerns.Under that piercing gaze, Maria hesitated to air her complaints after all, as much as it bothered her.Seeing how things were going, Hailey once again realized that the old matriarch was the true power within this house. She quietly reminded herself to never underestimate this woman she addressed as “grandmother.”Sitting prim and proper, Hailey awaited the old woman’s next words. This talk about the inheritance

Holding the contract documents in her hands, Hailey was going through a whirlwind of emotions at this moment. “Trust me,” Lilian said to her, “it may seem like such a horrible thing right now, but maybe someday you’ll be glad you held onto it. As I mentioned earlier, you are now part of this family, our own flesh and blood. We will now share all of its triumphs and defeats. I won’t use a piece of paper to bind you. I hope in all your endeavors, you will consider the best interests of the Harvey family.”Everyone present clearly heard the matriarch’s words, interpreting them in their own unique ways. Hailey stared at the infernal contract that had so abruptly found its way back to her. For a long moment, she stared blankly. Then she looked bewildered at the older adult woman she called “grandmother,” her heart in turmoil. She had thought of her grandmother as an outdated relic steeped in rigid tradition, but the older adults matriarch had been willing to try anything to help her grandd

At the top of Spark Tower, Travis Blake sneezed. Then he frowned. Was he getting a cold? No way; he hadn’t been sick in years. Many people depended on him for their livelihood, so he took decent care of his own health and enjoyed an excellent constitution. It had been a moment of distraction, but he soon found himself completely immersed in his work once again. He completely forgot about the moment until his mother called.“Travis Blake, your grandmother is planning a matchmaking party for you,” she whispered over the phone. “If there’s anyone you’re eyeing, I can invite them to the event.”This surprised Travis Blake, but he quickly regained his composure. “Why would grandma choose a time like this for such an adventure?” It hadn’t been that long since Calvin passed away. How could a matchmaking party happen so soon after?“I don’t pretend to know what she’s thinking,” Thalia chuckled. Maybe she’s getting anxious about the future and wants to see another baby as soon as possible. She

“If you hadn’t been his wife, then I wouldn’t have been your daughter, right?” Hailey had recently regained her composure.Pretending an air of indifference, she continued, “You have done nothing wrong at all. I’m grateful that you brought me into this world. Don’t worry, I’m fine now. The Halliwell family hasn’t given me any trouble. Today, even Grandma declared she would provide me with a monthly allowance. Now, I have some things to take care of on my own. I’ll call back some other day.”For a long time after the call ended, Eva remained kneeling on the floor, silently crying. What a useless woman she was! She lost her husband due to an affair. And then, once her daughter had grown up, those two returned to drag her into hell.She couldn’t cry too loudly or for too long, in case her brother noticed that something was wrong. And so, she swallowed her own tears with all her might.Denver Stewart enjoyed a lavish party with his wife and daughter before returning home together. The hou

“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
