Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Men Only Affect Me Kyle, of course, wouldn’t beat Hailey. In fact, he was no match for her.

They just teased each other for a while. Hailey accompanied Kyle to a room to visit their parents. kyle got up from the futon, turned to look at Hailey, and stroked her head. “Are you afraid to live alone in the Garden of Rose?” Hailey shook her head gently. “I’m not that timid. There are so many maids in the house, and Ava is there for me.” “Your Uncle Reid’s daughter?” Kyle remembered Ava. Hailey nodded.

“Yeah.” “Who’s the stupid, mean one?” “My Uncle Morgan’s daughter, Eve.” “Oh, now I remember. I’ve heard she’s quite noisy. I just made medicine that quieted down the chattering bugs. It works on people too. Would you like some?” “No.” Hailey thought Kyle was getting meaner and meaner since he’d been with Nicholas. “Eve’s getting married soon. She’s going to get what she deserves in the Edwards family.” Kyle looked at her worriedly. “Anyway, don’t compromise yourself, okay?” He pinched Hailey’s cheeks. “If someone bullies you, I’ll teach them a lesson with my scalpel.” Hailey shook his hands off and rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t worry. Men only affect me. I won’t let anyone hurt me.” Kyle was amused by her. “That’s a relief. I’ve got to get back to the hospital. By the way, Professor Herman asked me to ask you something.” “What is it?” “He has a paraplegic patient similar to Owen back then.

He wants you to examine him. You’re an orthopedic specialist. The patient’s family has said they’ll pay whatever you want as long as you’ll treat him.” Hailey nodded. “Send me the patient’s information.”

Kyle raised an eyebrow. “You’re willing to treat him?” “Professor Herman is my teacher. Since you asked me, how could I refuse?” Hailey said solemnly, “But everyone’s physique is different. Owen was a SWAT officer and more fit than regular men, so I can’t guarantee it.” Kyle stared into Hailey’s face. “I understand. Owen was in such a bad car accident back then. It was a medical miracle that he recovered that well. I know how much you put in.” Hailey said casually, “It’s in the past. We should move forward.”

After dropping Kyle off at the airport, Hailey went straight back to her company. On her way back, Ryker gave her a call and reported on the northern Suburbs racecourse project. “Mr. Moore and Mr.

Holland are with me. Is there anything that you want me to tell them?” Hailey replied, “No.” However, Matthew said on the other end of the line, “It’s such a beautiful day and the grass is laid at the racecourse. Would you like to bring Boris? Owen is a good rider, but I’m better than him. We could have a race.” Hearing Matthew’s voice, Hailey imagined his raised eyebrows and teasing smile. Of course, Owen saw them too. He fixed his dark eyes on Matthew’s face and pursed his lips. ‘You’re better than me? How are you getting all this confidence?’ But he expected a reply from Hailey. Matthew put Hailey on speaker and put Ryker’s phone on the stone table. Soon Hailey replied in a cold voice, “Sorry. I’m busy. Ryker, make Mr. Holland and Mr. Moore feel welcome.” Matthew blinked. “How do you know I put you on speaker?” Ryker gave Matthew a disgusted look. If Matthew hadn’t just made a lot of useful suggestions about the northern Suburbs racecourse project, he would have thought he was an idiot. ‘How dare he play mind games in front of Ms. Newman?’ With that in mind, Ryker responded, “No problem.” After hanging up the phone, Matthew leaned back in his seat and said to Owen in frustration, “It’s a pity Hailey won’t come. You don’t know how cool she is on a horse. She must be good at riding.”

Owen took a sip of his coffee and glanced slightly up at Matthew. “Since when did you two become so close?”

Actually, Halley was swayed by Matthew’s words. She really hadn’t ridden a horse in a long time. She said to Chris, “I need to take half a day for mysell Let’s take Ava to the racecourse.” “Okay, I’ll arrange that right away.” Chris was happy to spend time with Ava at work, of course. Hailey browsed the web on her iPad. Many more people had watched the commercial that Randal and Ashley were in. They would definitely be the best spokespersons for Newman Jewelry this year. Second place was Dorian, who just signed with Southern Star Entertaininent. When Dorian joined, Hailey gave him senior agent Erica Kemsley and a lot of resources, including a film directed by Dion and a jewelry commercial. It was not the main product but a men’s ring, but it fit Dorian. The hits and sales kept spiking.

Allan had said excitedly to Hailey with his pinkies up, “Hailey, you struck gold. Dorian is no worse than Randal!” Hailey agreed with him, but she said flatly, “Dorian is new. You can’t flatter him too much.” She had to say that Dorian’s fans had great spending power. She was considering having the design department tailor a product for Dorian to be the main product for the next season when Chris took a call and turned to tell her, “Ms. Newman, Erica said Dorian accidentally fell off a mountain while acting.”

Hailey frowned. “Is it serious?” “Yes, he’s been taken to the local hospital. Erica says he may need surgery.” Hailey said seriously, “Let’s go straight to the airport. If there’s no flight to Diverous right now, get me a personal plane. I must get there today.”

Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. It was Gail calling. He said that Jeremy wanted to take time off work to go to Diverous, but the train was too slow and he couldn’t get a plane ticket. “Jeremy has never been so panicked. It was like something big has happened. He wouldn’t talk to me, so I called to see if you could get a plane ticket…” “I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry.” Hailey hung up the phone and dialed a number directly. The person on the other end of the line said in surprise, “Hailey?” “Jeremy, listen to me. Pack your bags and I’ll send a car to pick you up at the south gate of Stoughsby University in fifteen minutes. We’ll go to Diverous together.”
