“Are you used to living outdoors?” Lilian asked, cradling Hailey’s hand.
“More or less.”
Hailey then informed the old woman of everything she had done. It all came out naturally. Lilian didn’t even need to ask.
Lilian asked another question. “How is your uncle doing?”
He’s been quite stable lately. He seemed lively the last time I visited.
“That’s good,” Lilian said. “You’ll be starting work on Monday. Work hard and don’t embarrass the Blakes, okay?”
“I will,” Hailey obediently replied.
“Good, good.” The old woman turned to take out a small box from her drawer and handed it to Hailey. “This is for you, to congratulate you on your new job.”

“You can leave now,” Travis said, his tone icy despite his high body temperature.He had unexpectedly lost control over the woman tonight and shouted a name, which was uncharacteristic of him. However, he wasn’t worried about her spreading the word about the name he had yelled. If she wanted to disturb his peace, she could share it as much as she wanted.Hailey had no intention of staying any longer.“Can I use the bathroom?” She asked.When Travis looked at her, her request that he leave her alone vanished from her lips.“I’ll give you five minutes.”Hailey gritted her teeth, feeling unlucky to be a replacement for someone else.

If you can’t help, step aside!” Rowena exclaimed.A servant brought a basin of warm water, and Rowena cleaned Calvin’s face and hands. Unable to give birth, Rowena had placed all her hopes in Calvin, despite his current illness.Feeling helpless, Hailey took two steps back to give space to the emaciated Rowena, who was also a pitiful figure.At that moment, Calvin’s hand flashed.

The night before, he had grabbed her in the elevator and taken her to Travis.The man opened the backseat door and respectfully said to Hailey, “Young madam, please get in the car.”Hailey hesitated as her eyes met Travis’s once more.

She crouched and lowered her head as she got into the car.Travis’s face remained stiff as he looked ahead in silence, but neither of them spoke.In her heart, Hailey silently cursed him for making her get into the car without explanation.

“Even if you beat Aunt Rowena to death, Calvin won’t come back. Don’t let yourself become a laughingstock in the eyes of others," Travis said emotionlessly, which made Rowena feel sad.“Travis, this woman is a bearer of misfortune. You should hurry and get rid of her!” Rowena cried out.Hailey was ecstatic upon hearing this news. It would be wonderful if they kicked you out!Travis’s distant gaze scanned everyone present before he grabbed Hailey by the shoulder and carried her like a chicken in front of Rowena.“This woman has expressed no desire to return to the Blake mansion since the day she left the hospital.” I told her that the rest of her life belongs to the Blake family. Even in death, she will remain a part of the Blake family. I stand by my words."As long as she lived, she was part of the Blake family.

Hailey looked at the bus stop not far away, then crouched down to look at Travis, who was staring straight ahead in the car. She said calmly, “Thank you for your kindness, but I’ll be fine taking the bus.”When Travis heard this, he turned to give her a sharp look. “Do you want others to think that the Harvey family is mistreating their new lady? She can only use a public bus if she wants to go out?”There was no need to mention Hailey’s status as the new Harvey lady since only the Harveys and Stewarts knew. Hailey also didn’t think there was anything wrong with taking a public bus.However, she could only keep these thoughts to herself and not say anything out loud.

Luna’s height and body shape differed slightly from Hailey’s, but her appearance was much more refined. She wore a tight and elegant traditional dress, with her hair tied up in a bun. She looked elegant and charming, with well-drawn makeup on her face.Luna gave Hailey a disdainful look. “What do you have that I want? What do you have that I don’t?”Hailey smiled. “In fact, you have everything. Whether it’s a fiancé, fame, fortune, or even a powerful patron, what can I have that can compare to you? But there is one thing you definitely don’t know. The master left a will.”“A will?” Luna’s heart skipped a beat. She and Annie had searched everywhere, but they couldn’t find the deed to the shop. There were collections from previous time periods that Xavier Yates had kept hidden, and they couldn’t locate those either, and all of this was money.“What do you mean? Are you saying you have the master’s will in your hands?”“Why don’t you guess?” Hailey examined Luna’s amused expression and t
