After hanging up, Hailey could not calm herself down. That day she bumped into Jett in the restaurant. When Jett saw Nikolai, he became as timid as a mouse.At that time, she thought that Jett was afraid that Nikolai would do something to him. If it was combined with what Jenny told her just now, would it be because of guilt and uneasiness that Jett ran away as soon as he saw Nikolai? Was it because Jett did not dare to face Nikolai?Hailey thought, "why was he afraid of facing Nikolai?""What happened exactly?"Hailey had a difficult time trying to figure out. She got up and took a sleeping pill out of the drawer. Over the years, she had been suffering from depression. When she was seriously ill, she had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep. When she was about to swallow the pill, her cell phone rang on the bed. She thought thar Jenny had received some other news. When she took a closer look, the caller ID revealed that it was a call from Mia.When she first returned to Manila Ci
"Supervisor Chris, why is it you? Where is Mia?"By now, Hailey realized that something was wrong. It was not until that moment that she regretted heading out to help Mia in the middle of the night. Even if Mia's brother was really driven out of the hospital, it had nothing to do with Hailey.On the contrary, if something happened to Hailey there, Zaney would have no one else to rely on then.She took a step back, put her hand into her pocket, and secretly took out her phone.A roar of laughter was heard. "Mia? She's on my side. She left after you tricked her into coming here. It's not like she wants to stay here and watch hoe I'm going to take revenge on you, right?" Supervisor Chris rubbed his hand and moved closer to her gradually. The lust in his eyes intensified.Hailey put her hands behind her and unlocked the cell phone slowly, but her face was calm."Supervisor Chris, you and I were once colleagues. Why did you let Mia deceive me? What exactly do you want to do?""What do I wa
Jade NeighborhoodIn the rented house with two bedrooms and a living room, Zane was watching TV. Hailey was cutting vegetables while Asher peeling the garlic.Thar simple scene was warm and lovely.When Asher received a call, Zane consciously lowered the volumes of the TV. Hence, Hailey could hear the phone conversation clearly.She could not help but stop cutting the vegetable. Tiffany was going to discuss with Asher about a potential partnership. Why did it sound so impossible?The Carter family and the Cokes family had been cooperating with each other for more than ten years now. Even if there was no marriage between both families, the cooperation between the two companies would not stop.Besides, the Coke's cooperation was Asher Lorenzo's sworn enemy. If Tiffany was sensible, she should not have anything to do with Asher Lorenzo corporation."Okay, see you in half an hour "Asher hung up the phone, and his charming eyes looked determined.Hailey looked up at him. "Is Carter corpora
Nikolai's entire body reeked of alcohol. The cold water dripped down from his hair, refreshing his mind.Seeing that, Seth hurriedly said, "I will ask the waiter to bring something for you to sober up ""There's no need" he said coldly and strode out of the private room. Sean hurried to catch up with him.The black luxury car was driven swiftly at night, followed by several luxury cars. They were as fast as a cheetah in the dark night.Usually, it would take twenty minutes for them to reach Jade neighborhood. But it took seven minutes for Nikolai to arrive at the entrance of the Jade neighborhood."Uncle Nikolai, you're finally here." Zane sounded like he had been crying, but he desperately hold back his tears. He was wearing a thin pajamas and a pair of cartoon plush slippers.Nikolai took off his coat and put it in Zane. He lifted him up and said, "speak slowly."Zane had been feeling cold after standing in the night breeze for a long time. Suddenly, he felt warm. He sniffed and sai
In the suburbs, it was a dark night with strong wind, seething danger.A container was thrown into swamp. There were around four robust men who held shovels in their hands as they placed the soil, grass and leaves at the side onto the container."Fuck! Hie could they ask us to burry a person in the middle of the night! And they only paid a little money. If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken tbe task.""Oh, cut the crap! Hurry up and finish it so we get out if here. The cold wind is blowing, and it's a little scary."A roar of laughter was heard. "You're not afraid of ghosts, are you?"Their laughter was heard by the person lying in the container, and that person slowly opened her eyes. It was completely dark and there was no light at all.Hailey raised her hand and touched around, but what she found was a rough piece of wood. She was so shocked that she immediately regained her consciousness and all the memories before she passed out emerged in her mind.At two o'clock in the morn
"President Nikolai?"Sean saw Nikolai standing motionless at the side of the road, so he could not help but urge Nikolai..Nikolai made a gesture, indicating to Sean to keep quiet, "Did you hear any sound?"Sean listened attentively for a while but he shook his head and said, "No..""Nikolai, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to the wharf. Hailey is waiting for you to save her!"Seth stretched out his head from another car and shouted loudly. His voice was loud, blocking the sound of the night breeze. However, the sound of the box being tapped seemed to become more rapid.Nikolai released his grasp on the handle of the car door and said in a low voice, "You go to the wharf first."He handed Zane, who had always been in his arms to Nadine and said, "Nadine take care of him. I will go over there and have a look."Nadine did not know what he was trying to look at. She held Zane tightly and kept up with Sean's pace.In the night, Nikolai walked into the depths of the woods step by
"Shut up!" Nadine slapped him. "If you talk nonsense again, I will go to Nikolai and complain about it "Bob glared at her, "You're so impatient. How dare you slap your own brother!"Sean became quiet upset. "Alright. Just go home and have a rest. We can visit Mrs George when she wakes up"At that time in the ward.Hailey was dizzy abd her head hurt so bad. She was afraid that she would not wake up from her sleep, so she forced herself to open her eyes. She soon saw the warm yellow light, the snow white wall abv the infusion tube with the ticking sound.She had been sent to the hospital.She averted her gaze slowly and saw a person sitting beside the bed.His cold and handsome face showed a sign of fatigue and there were dark circles underneath the eyes. Besides, there was stubble above his lips.She did not knir where his coat was. The white shirt hing crookedly on his body and it's collar was covered with dirty yellow mud. His sleeves were rolled up high. And there was no mud on hid
Just as Asher left the ward, he heard somebody talking on the phone in the corridor. He looked up and a trace of cold look appeared in his charming eyes. He thought, "surprisingly, Nikolai hasn't left yet" He sneered and was about to say something when he heard a voice coming from the other side of the phone. "Mr Coke, we just arrived Mia's residence and we found that she had packed her luggage and fled. I drove to chase her. I didn't expect that I witnessed the accident in which she was hit by a cat the intersection. It was a hit abd run car accident. It was obvious that it was a deliberate act. After Mia was sent to the hospital, she was pronounced dead after all emergency measures to provide ineffectual.." There was a hint of coldness in Nikolai's eyes. "How about that Mr Chris, what did he say?" "He said that no one had contacted him except Mia." "Get him to tbe police station" Nikolai ordered coldly. "Check Mia's bank account and her phone record. Then go to the police to loo
The fiasco started by Asher ended after Shirley ruined her own vocal cord.Hailey knew that she had done the best she could since she had sent people to take care of Asher. At this moment, the most important thing for her was to live her own life.******* ********"Zaney, honey, your momma is pregnant...you will have a little sibling soon, okay" Mrs Coke was the first to whisper into Zane's ears."Yahhhhh, grandma" Zane grinned. He rushed to hug Hailey, his little hands wrapped around Hailey's hips as he nuzzled her nose against Hailey's belly.Mrs Coke smiled.Nikolai thanked Doc Cyril and walked out of the office, Mrs Coke was the one who held Hailey while Nikolai had Zaney in his arms.It was indeed a beautiful sight!The most beautiful scene Nikolai had ever imagined••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••2months After....These past two months were the best for Hailey. She had a good reconciliation with her father and her lost Angie, Angie got serious mental issues and even the doctors c
After taking Hailey out of the national registration department, Nikolai did not bring her home directly, he drove her straight to the hospital.Although Asher said that pill would only make Hailey lose her voice temporarily and had no other side effects, Nikolai was still worried.Besides, Hailey had been kidnapped by Prince Peter. He did not know if they had hurt her, so he had to let the doctor check her carefully before he could be rest assured.When she got in the car and found that it was not the way home, Hailey still could not utter a word.She could only sit in the shotgun seat and keep waving her hand at Nikolai who was driving to show thar except for her voice she was very healthy without any discomfort.But how could Nikolai listen to her? He only told her that she should take a rest in the car first and then drive her to the hospital for an examination before taking her to a good meal.Hailey was annoyed but she couldn't say anything. She could only stare at Nikolai and c
"No, Hailey, don't listen to her nonsense,I really didn't so it."Asher was very anxious at the moment. He tried to hold Hailey's hand but Nikolai beat him to it.Nikolai's pulled Hailey into his embrace. His tone was cold and indifferent as he said, "Let's not discuss the matter of framing me for the time being. However, if Hailey is unable to say anything, what did you do to her?"In the beginning, Hailey gave him no reply, making Nikolai assume that she was disappointed in him.But since Shirley came, Hailey looked agitated yet she still remained silent which made Nikolai feel suspicious.He was completely sure that Hailey was drugged. When Asher started explaining yo Hailey, she dud not even question him. She simply had a flustered and disappointed look in her eyes.Nikolai knew Hailey well. He knew that it was not Hailey's true reactions unless she could not speak at all.Hailey who had been protected tightly in Nikolai's embrace sighed helplessly. She looked at Asher with deeper
The four of them met in a private room in the private club. A man who looked like Doug sat at the head of the table without saying a word. He had quiet a bit of imposing manner. That was the George's family second uncle- Hayes George. "Hayes, I'm here with my two children." Doug frowned. During those years, that brother of his had been in noy much contact with him and his brothers all the time. He did not expect that they would meet in such a way. Hayes George glanced a both zephira and Doug coldly. When he looked at Hailey, he said coldly, "Hailey right? You'd better not show off your ability given that you're young. Even if you've just entered the company, you should still act sensibly" The incident about Nikolai of the Cokes family and Hailey of the Georges cooperation had been discussed vehemently in the upper class in Manila city. Everyone knew that Nikolai had used a great sum of money to gain a beauty's affection. If it was not for Nikolai's powerful tactics and the support
Austin compromised. Seeing that, Hailey looked cold but she did not push him. She said, "Then let's deal with Xyla first. Although Xyla is a member of our design apartment she has been in the company for five years. During this period of time, she has been using other's design drafts. Thus time around she has brought trouble to our George's cooperation. I decided to dismiss her. Do you have any opinions?" Even if she could not deal with Austin directly, she still had a way to deal with Xyla. In addition, that was a good opportunity. Since zephira had a soft personality as her sister, Hailey must be tough in the company and show her strength to others. Thus, others would not think that they were easy to be bullied and do the same thing as Austin again. The others witnessed how Hailey acted in a slick manner and suppressed Austin in a reasonable manner. Now that she had said something more, the others would only be convinced by her. So they said one after another, "I don't have any o
Reinvigoration - the most perfect work of art would always go through twists and turns.The signature was the name of the cooperation between the Xavier family and George's cooperation.Mer champ looked at Xyla in disbelief. When did the design department hand in such a design draft to the Xavier family? How come he dud not know anything about that?Xyla did not bring her cell phone to that conference room. At that time, she began to panic when she saw Mr champs expressionBefore she could ask, Hailey looked at Xyla with a smile and instructed. "Take this pen drive and insert it to the computer over there"Xyla had a plan in her mind, so Hailey must have her own purpose in doing so. Otherwise why would Hailey hide such a thing from the design department? Hence she did not obey Hailey's order for a long time.Hailey raised her eyebrows but she did not lose her temper. She inserted the pen drive into the computer and turned on the audio software. A woman's voice appeared on the screen.
Angie had taken the medicine for sobering up before she drank the wine, which was all to make Xyla lower her vigilance and disguise.Xyla replied directly, "Do what? Does anyone know that I plagiarized? Think about it. I have to thank you for providing me with the design drafts. Otherwise, why would I be sitting in my current position and ruin that damn Yona reputation?""I'm telling you! If you're smart, you should rely on mr. You'd better hand over the design drafts to me obediently. When Hailey is driven out of the company tomorrow, I will be the manage. I will not pursue the matter that you betrayed me."Upon hearing that, Angie frowned slightly. How could Xyla accurately explain that she would drive Hailey out of the company during the following day? Angie could not help but ask, "Why did you say that?"Xyla was almost fully drunk because if the alcohol so she did not reply to that anymore. "Haha..."She fell asleep with her head tilted.Angie stopped the recording and sent the a
When Xyla was going downstairs, although she was still not feeling well, there was a hint of joy on her face. But she only left after she thought of what he told her. He claimed that Hailey did not provide any design which the Xavier family was satisfied with. And when she thought about Angie, she had a plan in her mind.In tbe past few days, she did not see any work of Angie, but who knee if Angie had cooperation with Hailey in private?Her heart was filled with schemes. Angie's appearance had long disrupted her state of mind.Upon entering the office, Xyla suddenly heard Hailey's voice."In order to welcome Angie, I will treat you to dinner today. Let's have a meal"As soon as the manager spoke, everyone naturally agreed.Xyla smirked. Unexpectedly, someone gave her a chance just when she had a scheme in her mind.Angie was a lightweight drinker. She would say anything after drinking a few glasses of wine.When it was time to get off work, she silently tidied up the design paper on
After that day, Hailey's relationship with Nikolai was improved rapidly.Nikolai began to contact Hailey rapidly by using the communication tool though he was an introvert. He mostly greeted Hailey good morning but Hailey was quite warmed to that.She had to admit that she felt something for Nikolai again.But as for how the relationship between the two of them would develop in the future, she still had some hesitation. The past was still deep pain for her, and when she thought about that, she was grieved.She could not have more contact with him for the sake of the hurt Zaney had suffered.Yes, that was it. Now, she still had cooperation with him because of the project of the diamond factory. She could not just fall with him directly.She thought that she might need some timr to figure out what she was thinking.Hailey was in a dilemma, but the daily work had exposed her heart which wavered constantly.On several occasions, she forgave Yvonne's careless mistake and carefully helped h
