Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Bastard “This isn’t the place. Can I buy you a cup of coffee?” Nate invited Hailey respectfully. To be honest, she was stunned and called Ada with a trembling hand when she learned that Hailey was Master Jade. Ada wanted to hide it but was blamed by her. Ada was also helpless because Hailey wouldn’t let her tell anyone. She just thought that Owen was stupid to give up such a wonderful wife. He must be blind! Nate had never expected to be so close to her idol. She looked at Hailey with admiration. Jose looked at her with disgust and reminded her to control herself. Hailey said faintly, “You’re Ada’s classmate and I should do you a favor, but you’re also an employee of Mazedew. Sorry.” Nate was speechless. Hailey added, “I’ll take your card.

Contact me if you want to jump ship. You’re welcome anytime at Newman Jewelry.” Owen was speechless. How dare she poach his people in front of him? Chris looked at his watch and reminded, “Ms. Newman, the general manager of the branch is waiting for you at the entrance of the hospital. We have to go.” “I see.” Hailey nodded slightly. “Excuse me.” Watching her leave, Owen pursed his thin lips, his eyes as obscure as ink.

Hailey was annoyed as she headed out. “How does he know my identity?” Chris took two steps forward. “Do you mean Master Jade?” Hailey glanced at him. “Or what?” Chris rubbed his nose. ‘You have so many identities. How do I know which one you’re referring to?’ He thought for a moment and said, “The day has eyes and the night has ears…” Hailey squinted at him coldly and he immediately said, “I mean nothing stays hidden.” Hailey continued to walk forward. Chris scratched his head and whispered, “Didn’t you give Mr. Moore a seal? He’s not an idiot. He’ll know who you are if he sees any of your other work.” She had given him a lot of things before, besides the seal. Other people gave gifts back to each other after they broke up. Why didn’t Owen give her those things back? ‘Bastard.’ Hailey cursed inwardly. Crystaldale had branches in basically every major city, including Diverous. Morgan and Reid hadn’t taken them over, so they were not involved and still growing steadily. Many people had thought Hailey was dead. In fact, during her three years in North City, she took care of Owen and managed Crystaldale carefully. Quarterly reports from the group and branches were sent to her inbox at regular intervals.

What Morgan got was a fake. He wouldn’t read them anyway. The outside world thought Crystaldale was going down. They didn’t know it was taking a different form or it wouldn’t have recovered so quickly. In fact, the huge business empire that Scott and Nancy had built was so solid that it would never fall as long as Hailey wasn’t as incompetent as Morgan and Reid. Hailey went to the branch in the afternoon and had dinner with the general manager and the executives. She drank a lot of the local rice wine. It was mellow and sweet and she drank so much that her face turned red. It was quite late when she got back to the hotel. When she got out of the car, the cool mountain breeze made her drunk Chris helped her out, took her bag, and said to her worriedly, “Ms. Newman, can you walk? How about I carry you?” He squatted down in front of Hailey, but she slapped him on the back “Get up. I can walk.

I’m not drunk.” Chris muttered helplessly, “That’s what drunk people say…” “I’m not drunk!” Hailey stumbled, but she denied it anyway. “You don’t believe me? I’ll walk a straight line!” Then she almost fell over. Chris was speechless. He was startled to see Hailey almost hit the glass door. ”Watch out!”

However, he shut up because someone was already holding her Owen helped Hailey into the hotel and smelt alcohol on her. He frowned slightly. “Why did you drink so much?” Hailey folded her arms and straightened up and looked up to see Owen’s cold face. The corner of her mouth twitched. “It’s you, bastard.” Owen’s face darkened, Blue veins stood out on his forehead. “What did you call me?” Chris had a bad feeling. He rushed forward to take Hailey from Owen’s arms and was about to say something when he heard Hailey repeat, “Bastard.” Chris was speechless. He really didn’t know how to help Hailey out of this. Owen’s face was contorted. He turned to Jose and Nate and asked, “Ain I a bastard?” Jose and Nate both shook their heads. How dare they say yes? However, Hailey continued to insult him, “Bastard, now that we’re divorced, why don’t you give me back the things I gave you? The seal, the cufflinks, and the statuette… I put my heart and soul into them. It’s a waste if you don’t cherish them. Do you know that each of my works is worth a million? Give them back to me. I’ll sell them and buy a house in Poya,” Owen listened to her quietly. When she stopped, he said saintly, “I won’t give them back to you, but I can give you a house.”
