“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

“Black and white?” Denver couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Did his daughter really want a written document between them?“I don’t believe you,” said Hailey. “The Halliwell family now knows that my mother and I only received three hundred thousand. You should consider this carefully.”Denver felt like someone had opened his chest and taken out a piece of his heart, and he clung to the pain he felt as he reluctantly said, “Well, if you want a written document, we’ll do it.”Estella seemed to want to say something else, but she swallowed her words with difficulty when José gave her a warning look.After settling the paperwork, Hailey placed the signed document from Denver in her bag. Then she said, “The agreement between you and the Halliwell family clearly states that once I receive the money, I will be a full member of the Halliwell family, and I will no longer have anything to do with the Stewart family.”José was taken aback. “Hailey, you...”“You must remember what kind of agre

Hailey felt a little dizzy. She looked around and couldn’t find a trash can nearby.“Young lady, what are you looking for?” Katie asked with a smile.Hailey obediently replied, “I’m looking for a trash can.”The smile remained on Katie’s face as she said, “Just give me the item you want to throw away.”As she spoke, she reached out her hand. Hesitantly, Hailey placed the bottle of liquor in Katie’s hands and then said, “Thank you.”Katie led Hailey to Travis Blake’s room. Without Katie's guidance, Hailey likely would have lost her way. After all, she had already lost her way when she went out this morning.It wasn’t too late in the evening, and Travis Blake was reading in his study. He looked up to see Hailey, who opened the door after getting his permission.He asked, “Did you need something from me?”He knew very well that this woman wouldn’t seek him out if she didn’t need something from him. Seeing how quickly she fled during her day at the company was proof enough. Even at luncht
