Chapter 35
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

Travis Blake hummed and then said, “I’m here to see if you’re settling in well in your new home. Also, I brought a housewarming gift.”“Did you prepare a housewarming gift for me?” Hailey thought about herself.Touched by Travis Blake’s actions, the smile on her face became more genuine. “Thank you, big brother. I really like my new place, and everything is great.”As it was only the first day after moving in, Hailey wasn’t entirely sure if she would like it here. However, since Travis Blake had kindly prepared a housewarming gift, she had no choice but to be polite.Travis Blake then instructed Layla, “Bring the gift I prepared for the young lady. It’s by the door.”Hailey looked at the door curiously. Layla brought a large cardboard box into the house. It seemed like an enormous gift, but the packaging was rough, Hailey thou

Having enjoyed a fantastic show, Travis Blake was in an excellent mood. Even though Hailey dared to use her precious thighs as a pillow, he didn’t push her away. When Hailey regained some composure, she sat up and asked angrily, “Is Layla reporting to you?”“She reports to Grandma,” Travis Blake replied. Hailey was confused.“Then why...” Layla didn’t even blink when they openly embraced in front of her.“Layla is a smart person. Even though she reports to Grandma, she knows I will eventually rule the Halliwell family.“It’s just a matter of time,” he said in a dominant tone.If Travis Blake’s third uncle, Hank Halliwell, were here, he would probably ground his teeth in anger. Hailey suddenly understood what Travis Blake meant. Although Grandma sent Layla here, Travis Blake had already bribed her. After all, he was the current

Hailey quickly dismissed the idea. In terms of power or money, she was absolutely behind any member of the Halliwell family, let alone Travis Blake, who could even turn the person the grandmother trusted into one of his own. Compared to them, what did Hailey offer?She should let those thoughts fade away. A better idea was to be extremely kind to Layla, so she would feel guilty if she ever told Hailey. Since she didn’t have money, she could try to win Layla’s heart. This strategy could prove useful.During dinner, Hailey asked Layla to join them at the table. Layla stood still and looked at Travis Blake.Hailey also turned to look at Travis Blake. Travis Blake was sure that, in addition to wanting to hear his thoughts, Hailey was also hoping for something to happen from the look in his eyes.“Sit down,” Travis Blake said bluntly. Layla s

Hailey paused and then smiled. “What do you mean? Didn’t I always call you that when I lived in the mansion?”Travis Blake raised an eyebrow. “Just get to the point.”“I want an unfamiliar car. Please, give me something more normal. Thank you.”Under Travis Blake’s stony gaze, she continued, “I realized I might not handle this car well. It would be a waste to leave it in my hands.” Hailey only liked to drive slowly and steadily.“What are you going to do with this car then?” Travis Blake asked.“I’ll give it back to you,” Hailey replied instantly.“I don’t accept returns of gifts,” Travis Blake said firmly.Hailey thought for a moment and then proposed, “Then, I’ll give it to you.” If she gave it to him, she wouldn’t take it back. Hailey praised hersel

Annie thought Hailey had fallen into the trap, so she quickly affirmed her response. “What did I misunderstand?” Hailey asked.“You must be thinking that I did it on purpose that day, but I didn’t,” Annie had practiced this version and reviewed it with Luna several times since she woke up.“That day, I knew you had fought with Luna again, so I wanted to apologize to you on her behalf. When I saw you, I wanted to stop and park my car, but suddenly the car went out of control. My mind went blank, and I was too shocked to do anything, so I forgot to think. Thank God you’re okay, Hailey, or else.”She wiped away her fake tears as she spoke. However, Hailey was not interested in hearing what she had to say at all. She had already seen through Annie. She could no longer afford to have a soft heart. Suddenly she felt relieved. Previously, Luna had made Annie approach and get close to

As Hailey left the hospital, she turned back to look at Annie’s room. She chuckled to herself and thought, “I guess I’ve done my job in scaring off the pest. A pest that makes clothes.”“Oh right. It’s been quite a few days since Calvin’s last prayer, but why haven’t I heard anything about my work?”Hailey waited until the weekend, when she returned to the mansion, and then discreetly asked the old lady about it. Since the hospital where Annie was staying was a few stops away from where her uncle, Finn Winters, was, Hailey took the train and headed to visit him. When she arrived at his room, she noticed Christian Ford was also there. Surprisingly, he and Finn were chatting cheerfully.“What brings you here?” Hailey couldn’t believe her eyes.“To visit your uncle,&rdq
