Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Hailey smiled and rolled her eyes at Owen.

Owen was not angry and continued to go back to barbecue.

Annie saw this and couldn’t help but smile. “It looks like the two of you are a good match.

“What do you mean?” Hailey asked curiously.

“You can tolerate his possessiveness, and he can tolerate your petulance. You’ve both made concessions for each other. That’s love,” Annie said.

Hailey was stunned for a moment before she smiled.

She never deliberately tried to be tolerant. But with Owen, Hailey found she could tolerate and accept whatever he did.

This seemed to be a very normal thing.

She never felt uncomfortable with Owen’s possessiveness and controlling nature. Likewise, Owen never considered her petty moods to be unreasonable. Even when he clearly knew she was being mischievous, he never thought she was in the wrong.

They were united. They trusted each other completely, tolerated each other, and understood each other.

Hailey turned around and glanced at Owen.

He was lowering his head and barbecuing. Perhaps it was because the fire was a little strong, but there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Owen’s eyes were lowered, and his expression was focused. He was exceptionally charming.

His eyelashes were very long, casting a faint shadow under his eyes when he lowered them.

As if sensing Hailey’s gaze, Owen looked up. His beautiful and cold black eyes landed on her face and met her gaze.

The moment their gazes met, the two seemed to have a telepathic connection, and they smiled in unison.

When the barbecue was almost done, the people playing in the pool also went up and sat down to chat and eat.

When they were almost done eating, Hailey got up and went to the bathroom. She planned to leave with Owen.

When she came out of the bathroom, she bumped into Alice.

The bathroom door was closed. Alice seemed to be waiting for her here.

Hailey washed her hands and raised her eyebrows slightly. “What’s the matter? Miss Gibbs.”

“Hailey, I’ll give you one last chance. Break up with Owen and stay away from him. I’ll give you a sum of money so that you can live a carefree life no matter where you live, except for Hallon City.”

“Alice, I’m telling you for the last time. There’s no way I’ll break up with him. Stop dreaming,” Hailey answered patiently and walked around Alice. She planned to open the door and leave.

Alice stepped forward and grabbed Hailey’s hand. Her expression was a little ferocious. “You’ll pay the price for snatching my man.”

Hailey frowned and turned around.

1/4 Chapter 132 Alice’s eyes filled with a crazed, ferocious smile. Her left hand, which had been behind her back all along, came forward holding a fruit knife.

Hailey immediately grasped the key and knew what she wanted to do.

Alice wanted to do the same thing.

Just like the last time at the hospital, she hurt herself and then framed Hailey.

Alice smiled sinisterly and stabbed the knife into her abdomen.

She screamed loudly and fell to the ground with a pale face, her face filled with pain.

Soon, the bathroom door was kicked open from the outside, and countless people rushed in.

Alice’s lower abdomen was bleeding all over the ground.

Actually, the knife did not go deep, but there was a lot of blood. It looked very serious.

No one present had experienced such a thing before. For a moment, they were especially flustered and afraid.

Annie’s husband immediately called 911. He was very calm and told everyone not to move Alice and to place her on the ground.

Because they did not know where she had been injured, they did not dare to pull out the knife casually. Now, they could only wait for the ambulance to arrive.

But at this time, it would probably take a long time for the ambulance to arrive.

Annie’s husband thought about it for less than ten seconds before deciding to send Alice to the hospital.

Although Alice was in great pain, she forced herself not to faint. She struggled and looked up at where Hailey was in the crowd.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief. “Miss Dalton, I have no grudge against you. Why are you treating me like this?”

For a moment, everyone’s gaze fell on Hailey.

Hailey’s body was clean. There was not a single drop of blood on her beautiful dress.

She stood there with a cold expression and did not defend herself.

From an outsider’s point of view, she had nothing to say.

When they came in, there were only the two in the bathroom. Alice had fallen to the ground and personally identified Hailey. It could not be fake.

Everyone spontaneously distanced themselves from Hailey.

Hailey did not say a word. She only looked at Owen beside her.

Her eyes were asking, ‘Do you trust me?‘

Owen didn’t speak. He raised his hand and took hers, their fingers interlacing tightly. Without a single word, he conveyed more than a thousand could express.

Hailey took a deep breath and choked.

Annie’s husband and a few friends sent Alice to the hospital overnight for surgery. Fortunately, the wound was did not kill her.

68 feep and 2/4 89%

68 Chapter 132 Hailey and Owen also arrived at the hospital. The two of them stayed in the hospital until Alice’s surgery ended.

It was already very late on the way back. It was one in the morning.

Both of them were very tired.

Hailey was not sleepy at all.

“Why do you trust me so much?”

Owen was driving. “Hailey, I’ve said it before. I’ll always believe you. I’ll believe you even if there’s no evidence. As long as you say no.”

“But no one seems to believe me. Besides, Alice is obviously trying to ruin my reputation this time. I think this matter will spread all over the Internet very soon.”

“I will suppress it,” Owen said.

“No need. Hailey supported her face and yawned lazily. Her eyes were tired. “I have evidence.”

Owen was slightly stunned. “Huh?”

Hailey smiled. “You don’t really think that I can be tricked by her a second time, do you?”

Owen reacted and rubbed Hailey’s head. “You are so smart.”

“By the way, Owen, you said that Alice saved you when you were young. Could she use that as leverage to make me spare her?” Hailey propped her chin on her hand, feeling that the situation was tricky.

She had already been bullied to this extent. If she couldn’t retaliate, it would be utterly frustrating.

Owen thought about it and said that it was possible.

“But I have a solution. Don’t worry. Do whatever you want.”

“In that case, I’ll do it as I want.” Hailey was completely relieved. She was so sleepy that she could not even keep her eyelids open. She closed her eyes.

The next day.

Hailey’s phone had been blowing up since early morning.

The ones who called the most were Casey, Nicolas, Thomas, Eliza, and Isaac. Even Aiden called her.

It was very rare.

Hailey did not return the call first. Instead, she glanced at X.

As expected, what happened last night had already exploded on the trending searches.

Jeanie had posted it on X.

Although Jeanie’s reputation was not as good as before, she was still a celebrity with a fan base after all. The moment she spoke out on social media and bought some trending spots, the buzz instantly skyrocketed.
