Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Two Identities Owen’s voice was not loud, but the hotel staff and the guests coming and going heard it and froze. There were men giving women bags, bracelets, and necklaces, but this man said he was going to give this woman a house in Poya. It was very expensive. However, Hailey asked coldly, “Are you insulting me?” Everyone was stunned. They couldn’t wait to be insulted like this! Owen whispered, “That’s not what I meant.” Watching Hailey frown, Chris knew she was about to lose her temper. He was afraid she would make a fuss, so he took her away immediately. “Let’s get in the elevator…” Watching Hailey disappear into the elevator, Nate, who had been waiting all night, sighed behind Owen. “Mr. Moore, can I ask why Ms.

Newman married you?” Owen wasn’t romantic at all. Jose squinted at her to remind her to watch her language. Mr. Moore was their boss and they should respect him. Nate wasn’t afraid. Ms. Newman wanted to poach her anyway. If she got fired, she would join Newman Jewelry, which she had heard had better benefits. She could even get close to Master Jade! Instead of being angry at Nate, Owen asked in a low voice, “Am I really that bad?” This is the first time he had been called a bastard and the first time he had doubted himself. ‘Am I really a bastard?’

Hailey slept well. She drank too much last night and woke up in the morning with a headache. There was a thermos of water with honey on the bedside table. She was a little surprised. ‘When did Chris become so considerate?’ She rarely drank outside. Brook was almost abducted with a Coke and was beaten up by Fifth Father when he was a child. Hailey was shocked by Brook’s red and swollen bottom and had been afraid to drink outside since then. She called Chris and asked him. Chris denied it, “I didn’t. Ava just told me you get headaches when you’re drunk and asked me to make you a glass of water with honey. I’m on my way to the supermarket to get you some honey… Maybe it was the hotel?” The corner of Hailey’s mouth twitched. “Do you think it’s possible?” Chris pursed his lips and didn’t think it was possible either. Ten minutes later, Hailey drank the water with honey that Chris had made himself. Her stomach felt better and her head didn’t hurt as much. Chris reported his findings in the morning, “I checked the hotel surveillance video. The water with honey was indeed brought in by the hotel staff. I asked the cleaning lady and she said the guest in room 711 told her to do it. It’s none other than Mr. Moore.” In short, it was Owen who had it prepared. “Mr. Moore is so considerate,” Chris complimented Owen, but Hailey’s cold eyes stopped him. Hailey said angrily, “Someone came into my room while I was unconscious, but you’re laughing? Do you want to die?” Chris was terrified. “I was wrong, Ms. Newman, I was careless.

I’ll give the bodyguards outside a meeting right now! It won’t happen again!” He was always humble.

For the sake of Ava and him going to get her honey early in the morning, Hailey spared him. She just thought Owen was annoying. Yesterday he said he was going to buy her a house: What made him think she would live in the house he bought? Did he think she lacked a house? They went downstairs and, not surprisingly, met Owen and Nate again. If she didn’t make it clear, they would keep following her. Hailey ignored Owen and just waved at Nate. “Ms. Marson, let’s talk in my car.” Nate was excited.

After getting Owen’s permission, she got into Hailey’s car happily. They drive to Diverous Mountain.

Hailey had to go back to Poya today. Before she left, she had to make some arrangements, say goodbye to Dion, and do some other things on the way. In the car, Nate repeated that she wanted to work with Hailey. She said she knew Master Jade was expensive and that they would pay whatever she wanted as long as the price was reasonable. Hailey said faintly, “I’ll be blunt. Newman Jewelry and Mazedew Jewelry are competitors. Master Jade is already associated with Crystaldale and could not be associated with Mazedew. I don’t have the time or energy to promote Mazedew Jewelry.” Nate was disappointed. “Since you guys are so sincere, here’s my advice,” Hailey added. She wanted to repay the Moore family anyway. Nate, “I’m all ears.” “You guys want to work with Master Jade just to promote the company. You might as well go to other jade carvers. I’m not the only great jade carver in the country. By the way, please tell your boss that the most important thing about jewelry is design. No gimmick is more useful than design. Crystaldale wants to be friendly with Mazedew so everybody wins.” At the foot of Diverous Mountain, Nate told Owen what Hailey had said.

Owen was lost in thought. He knew Mazedew Jewelry’s design department was out of touch, but retorm wasn’t that easy. Even Hailey could see the problem with Mazedew Jewelry. If he didn’t reform, no one would know about Mazedew Jewelry in ten years. At the time, how could he approach Hailey? Hailey left the set and went to the hospital. Owen insisted on following her. She turned to look at him and was about to lose her temper when Jeremy rushed out of the ward and said anxiously, “Hailey, there you are! My brother’s leg keeps hurting…” Before he could finish, several people came from the other side of the hallway and greeted Hailey. “Dr. Grace, we’ve finished reading the paraplegic’s file. You had a similar surgery in North City three years ago. When can we have a meeting to discuss it?” Owen was completely stunned by their words. ‘What? Hailey is Grace?’
