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

    Hailey closed her eyes. “How could she say that as a mother?” However, she didn’t want her mother to know that they needed to spend over three hundred thousand dollars to regain their freedom.“It’s not that simple,” she replied.“It wasn’t complicated in the first place, right?” Eva was a little scared.“We don’t want your money; we can pay it back. Your uncle doesn’t even need to live in such a pleasant neighborhood, and we can repay him.”“And we can ask Mr. Ford to help us find a suitable heart donor, right?” Hailey interrupted her mother, reading Eva’s mind before she could finish her sentence.Eva was embarrassed. Her eyes reddened.“I know. I know things haven’t gone well for you at the Halliwells. I know I was wrong back then. I shouldn’t have pushed you into this he

    “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
