Chapter 18
Love Is Fair
Chapter 018 The Ex-husband Was Worth Five Cents Hailey stopped in her tracks. For a moment, she thought that she hadnât woken up from her hangover and that she had seen a ghost.
Owen Moore, why was he here?
However, when she saw the manâs cold expression and the way he stared at her like a tiger eyeing its prey, it was obvious that he had come for her. It was probably because he had found out about her background. However, they had already divorced, so there was no need for her to go forward and greet him. Hailey calmed herself down and continued to walk. She stuck out her chest and raised her head. Her posture was elegant, and her temperament was noble. âStop.â A cold voice sounded from the seat. Hailey pretended that she did not hear it and did not stop. Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind rushed over and grabbed Haileyâs wrist. The bodyguard behind her immediately stepped forward to block Owen. âWhat are you doing?â
The bodyguardâs hand slashed over, but Owen reached out to block it. Seeing that they were about to fight, Hailey waved his hand lightly to signal the bodyguard to retreat. Then, she looked up at Owen expressionlessly. âSir, you are hurting me.â Her wrist was tightly grasped by him. After knowing him for so long, this was the first time he touched her.
After they divorced.
How ironic Owen looked at the womanâs cold eyes. The gentle and warm face in the past was now cold and distant at this moment, as if she had never known him. This made him depressed and annoyed.
âWhat are you playing?â
Owen released her wrist, but his tone was cold. âWho are you exactly?â âWatch your tone, sir,â the assistant scolded in dissatisfaction.
âSir, do we know each other?â Hailey waved her hand and looked up at Owen without any warmth.
Owen was stunned.
She actually said that she did not know him? What about their three years of marriage?
He secretly clenched his fists and had the urge to hit someone. His temper, which had been restrained for many years, was almost exploded by this woman at this moment. He gritted his teeth and asked, âIf you donât know me, why did you look at me just now?â Hailey replied seriously, âYou are good-looking.
Are you not allowed to be looked at? Is your face a scenic spot? Do I have to pay for a glance?â
Hearing that, Owen was lost in words.
When did the Hailey he knew, who had always been dull, become so eloquent?
âDo you have cash?â
Hailey turned around and asked her assistant. The two assistants searched in their pockets for a long time. Finally, they took out five cents and responded embarrassedly, âOnly five cents.â âThatâs enough.â
Hailey took the coin and stuffed it into Owenâs hand. âIâll give you five cents.
Keep the change.â Then, she stepped on her high heels and left with a group of people. Her aura was overwhelming. She was like a queen who looked down on the world. She didnât look back and didnât feel reluctant to leave.
Owen held the five cents and stood in place. His mind was a mess. It was as if he had never known this woman before. She was too different.
But her appearance could not lie, and the mole at the corner of her eye could be like no other A burst of laughter suddenly sounded in his ear. Matthew, who had witnessed everything, stood at the elevator and laughed so hard that his whole body was about to fall After knowing Owen for so long, this was the first time he saw him being defeated.
Matthew smiled as he walked toward Owen and placed his arm on Owenâs shoulder. âAre you sure this is the boring ex-wife you were talking about? This ex-husband of hers is only worth five cents?â
Owen clenched the five cents and gritted his teeth. The veins on his forehead were bulging. âBut since you are divorced, it means that she has nothing to do with you, right?
Then, can I chase her? She is really my typeâ¦â Before he finished speaking, Owenâs fist came smashing over. âGet out of here!â Chase his ass!
As soon as they got in the car, the originally calm Hailey was no longer calm. She took out her phone and called Brook. âBrook, why did Owen appear in the Nomad?â
âWhat did you say?â Brook was sitting in front of the computer watching some naughty videos. When he heard this, he was startled. âOwen came to Poya? He is in my territory?â âI just saw him downstairs. I bumped into him.â âWhat a small world!â
Brook put on his Bluetooth earphone, and his fingers typed on the keyboard. He turned to the surveillance camera on the first floor and saw the encounter and conversation between the two people clearly. He couldnât help but laugh. âFive cents? You completely embarrassed him! Look at Owenâs expression. He looks like he is eating shit.
Itâs too funny. Serve him well, hahahaâ¦â âHurry up and check what he is doing in Poya?â Hailey was annoyed by his demonic laughter.
At this time, shouldnât he be having a good time with his new slutty girlfriend?
Shouldnât they be immersed in his brand new life with her? How could he have the time to come to Poya?
Could it be that it was for her⦠âHe knows Matthew?â Brook muttered.
Hailey frowned. âWho?â
Brook looked at the scene of the two men hugging each other. âThe guy who touched your butt last night and got beaten up by you. It seems that he has a good relationship with Owen.â âSo, he betrayed me?â Hailey asked. âItâs very possible.â Operating the computer for a while, Brook suddenly sighed. âSure enough, the surveillance on the dance floor last night was hacked. It was most likely done by that kid, Matthew.â
His computer skills were unexpectedly superb. Haileyâs face was cold. She did not know that Owen was on good terms with the Holland family of Belindao. It should be said that during the three years of marriage, he never treated her as his wife. He never took her out to meet his friends and introduced her to his social circle. âThings were finally settled at midnight yesterday. If Matthew really recognized you and told Owen, Owen would have to rush over from North City overnight to make it here.â Brook analyzed for her and snorted. âCould it be that after you left, this scum began to miss you and want you back?â Haileyâs eyebrows trembled, and she asked self-deprecatingly, âDo you think itâs possible?â âNo.
As far as I know, there was a scene in Moore Mansion last night. Your ex-mother-in-law and that bitch fought. In the end, your ex-husband drove his mother away because of his sweetheart.â
Those words made Haileyâs heart sink again, and her lips were full of endless ridicule.
Owen was always a filial person, but for Eliza, he did not hesitate to contradict his mother. It could be seen how deep his love for Eliza was. Who was this ex-wife to him? âIf he really came for you, what are you going to do?â Brook asked. âSince we are divorced, it means that we have nothing to do with each other. I have been willful for three years. I wonât be willful anymore.â
