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. At tha
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
Then, Travis Blake spoke. “I think it would be best if we got you a new house, as there are plenty that are ready to move into,” he said. “I suppose no one would want to move into the houses with their names on them.”Although no one said it out loud, most of them internally shared Rowena’s thoughts. Since Hailey’s existence had not prolonged Calvin’s life, a woman like her, whose husband died upon marrying into the family, was considered a curse. The only difference between these people and Rowena was that Rowena dared to express her opinions. The others either lacked that courage or refused to speak out about it.In the past week, a new owner discreetly transferred all the properties under Calvin’s name. Hailey received no inheritance at all.Lilian automatically overlooked the underlying meaning of Travis Blake’s wo
Hailey stayed in the hospital for a few days. In the meantime, Christian Ford had invited her to watch a show with him. Hailey thought about it and decided it was best not to tell him she was hospitalized or that he could come to visit her. Therefore, she said she was too busy to have free time in the next few days and turned him down.Hailey returned to Halliwell Mansion for a certain period after being discharged from the hospital, where she endured Rowena’s disdainful looks and Mary’s cutting words.Hailey paid no attention to their actions. She would be out of the mansion in a few days, anyway. Once her new house renovation was completed, she could move. She was also recovering well.Sonny came to pick up Hailey, inviting her to check if the decor of her future house met her standards. Otherwise, she could request changes before moving in.Hailey had never visited the place before. She had recently
