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

    Travis Blake felt uneasy when he touched Hailey, although she was unique in her own right.The vein on his forehead twitched. That night, this woman also pinched his face as soon as she got close enough to him. He really couldn’t understand how a virgin like her could be so frivolous.He slapped Hailey’s hand with an indifferent expression on his face, thinking she would understand what he meant by his actions, but he had underestimated the audacity of a drunk woman, as well as what it would be like now that she was all relaxed.“Don’t be so stingy and let me squeeze a little more. “It’s not like you’re going to lose face over it,” Hailey huffed, reaching out her hand again.Before she could touch Travis Blake’s face, the man in question slapped her hand several times.Hailey rubbed her hands, which had turned red from Travis Blake’s slaps, and said disgustedly, “It’s just a little touch, why do you care so much? It hurts.” She glanced at the pinkish-colored back of her hand.Her mout

    Travis Blake was not there.Hailey exhaled with a sense of relief. She quickly left the bathroom, pretending to be calm as she headed outside.Not surprisingly, Travis Blake was also not outside. This amazed her, but it also made her feel relaxed. She quickly exited Travis Blake’s room and headed back to her designated room.Upon entering the room, she leaned against the door and felt a persistent fear of not knowing what she had done to Travis Blake. It was terrifying. She considered inviting a friend to accompany her the next time so she could observe her behavior while intoxicated, with the friend acting as a witness. Maybe she could record herself drinking alone?It was better to know what she would do when she was drunk. Hailey also thought she had to be careful not to drink when she started working. If she offended her colleagues, she would face serious consequences.What exactly did she do

    “You may not drink in the future.” This was Travis Blake’s reason for arriving to find Hailey.Hailey froze for a moment, then immediately agreed, “Okay, I won’t.”However, she didn’t fully understand the meaning of Travis Blake’s words and added an unnecessary phrase, “If I drink again, I definitely won’t run towards you and cause you trouble.” She thought she had given a friendly response and smiled sweetly afterwards.Travis Blake narrowed his eyes, the scene of Hailey hugging another man after getting drunk suddenly appeared in his mind. This made his temper flare up once again.“What I mean is that you may drink nothing in the future, not a single drop.” As he said that, he approached Hailey. “If you dare to drink, I will punish you every time I find out.”The stern expression on his face scared Hailey.

    They pushed Hailey back to her room after her check-up.The room was a luxury suite.While lying on the bed, Travis Blake stood in front of her, unintentionally frowning at her ghastly, pale appearance. Fortunately, the doctor said she was fine; otherwise, he didn’t continue that thought.He hadn’t expected her to be so fragile. If he had known, he wouldn’t have splashed cold water on her.After reflecting on his actions for a second, he blamed Hailey for getting drunk and going into a drunken frenzy. He wasn’t the only one to blame.A strand of Hailey’s hair stuck to his forehead, so Travis Blake unconsciously moved closer to fix it. Upon completion, the realization of his out-of-character actions caused a vein to burst.“Wipe her up,” he instructed Katie.Watching his series of actions without missing a beat, Katie chuckled.Up

    Travis Blake was in Lilian’s salon at the Halliwell mansion. Immediately after Rowena returned, she had gone to cry in Lilian’s chapel. Concerned about offending God, Lilian sent Rowena to her salon. Mary had gone out on an errand, so she wasn’t home. When Scarlet received word from the maids that Rowena was having an episode, she approached to check on her. She was surprised to see her son present as well, but after exchanging a glance with him, she said nothing. After instructing the maids to leave, she found a seat and sat down.“Travis Blake, tell me, what’s going on? What happened to your aunt Rowena? She was fine this morning. Oh, and why have you returned with her?” Lilian was massaging her temples. This second daughter-in-law had given her a headache with the tantrum she had thrown.Travis Blake started the conversation without hesitation. “We’l

    “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

    “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
