Chapter 73
Love Is Fair
Chapter 073 There Were Unnoticed Talents Beside Her Matthew rushed from Belindao to Poya overnight and even went to Savory Restaurant to pack a few dishes before rushing to The Nomad. Worrying about his brotherâs stomach and facing a few enchanting women, Matthew couldnât get through easily. He swiped his card, got into the elevator, went straight to the top floor, and opened the door of room 77. When he entered the door, Owen was sitting in front of the computer and tapping on the keyboard as if he was checking something. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Matthew coming in without even raising his head. âI went to the restaurant opened by Hailey to order a few dishes and let Chef Clayton cook them himself.â
Matthew took the lunch box out of the incubator and couldnât help swallowing when he smelled the aroma of the rice. Seeing Owen motionless, he walked toward him, âWhat are you doing? What are you checking so seriously?â He walked to the computer, leaned over to look, and couldnât help but frown, âJared?â
Owen tapped the keyboard again and didnât stop until the page was completely displayed. He turned to look at Matthew, âDo you know him?â Matthew pursed his lips, and he couldnât tell whether his face was sarcasm or obscure, âJare Gomez, how dare I not know him.â He felt his word strange. Owen rarely heard such cutting remarks from Matthewâs mouth, so he cast his eyes on the screen and glanced at Jaredâs experience. His eyebrows twitched.
âPrince of Gomez.â âYes.â Matthew said with an arm, âYou said earlier that you want to check him. Just ask me. I know more than the computer. But you have to tell me first, what are you checking him for?â
Owenâs lips pursed into a line, wondering if it was because he drank too much, and his head started to hurt. He raised his hand and pressed his temple with his voice low and hoarse, âHe suddenly appeared next to Hailey today, and the two seem to have a very close relationship.â
âWhat?â Matthew also stretched his eyes in surprise, âJared has returned to Poya? Hailey knows him?!â As far as he knows, Jared had been abroad for the past two years, and there were traces of his activities in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Golden Triangle. Everywhere he went, there was bloody blood, which was shocking. It was said that Jared was active because he wanted to avenge his mother, but no one knew who his mother was and what kind of revenge he was avenging. Unexpectedly, he returned to Poya. Did this mean that the revenge for killing his mother was over?
Owen listened to Matthewâs narration, stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and looked up at him, âYou and Jared also have a hatred?ââThe hatred between him and me was serious.â Matthew snorted coldly, took two mouthfuls of rice in his mouth, swallowed it, and told Owen incessantly, âMy father and his father were in a good relationship and were brothers. In the past, the relationship between the two families was very good, and we often got along. But this kid Jared, because he was a few years older than me, pressed me everywhere, bullied me with my bastard brothers when I was a child, and it was him who made me almost drown at that time when I was a child!â Owen listened to his tirade and only asked, âYou canât beat him?â As if he was suddenly bullied, Matthew immediately got angry. âWho said I couldnât beat him?â Matthew patted the table and said, unconvinced, âWhen I was a child, I was weak. Of course, I couldnât beat him. But now itâs different. Iâm a special police officer. You said I canât beat a Jared?â
Owen was noncommittal about this and only said lightly, âI fought against him today.â
âWhat? You fought him?!â Matthew was taken aback and couldnât help but ask, âThen who won?â
âThere is no winner.â Owen remembered Jaredâs ruthless skills, his eyes darkened again, and he said solemnly, âAfter a few moves, Hailey stopped us.â Matthewâs nose wrinkled. He only felt that he had missed a wonderful drama. âThere were many unnoticed talents around Hailey. There is Brook and now Jared. However, Newman and Gomez are both famous and powerful families in Poya. One is the richest man in Poya, and the other is the king of the dark night. Itâs not surprising that they have a friendship. Maybe Hailey and Jared are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.â Matthew analyzed honestly. But every time he said a word, Owenâs face darkened, and the dishes in the bowl suddenly lost their fragrance. He put the chopsticks on the porcelain bowl, made a crisp âbangâ sound, and said in a cold voice, âHow can there be so many childhood sweethearts? Do you think you are shooting a TV series?â Whether they were childhood sweethearts or not, he would drive them away and not allow them to exist! âHey, donât you eat anymore?â Seeing Owen walking toward the computer again, Matthew shouted, couldnât help humming, and muttered, âYouâre obviously jealous, arrogant guy.â He was eating by himself, but the doorbell rang. Matthew just thought it was room service and walked over to open the door, but a sexy and pretty woman was standing outside with a bottle of wine in her hand. Seeing Matthew, she was obviously stunned and then glanced at the house number. âExcuse me, is this Mr. Hollandâs room?â
âYeah, Iâm Mr. Holland.â Matthew squinted, only to feel that the face in front of him was very familiar, âYou are the superstar Ashley, right? Did you come to me for a drink on purpose?â He was disrespectful and reached out to get the wine. Ashley deftly avoided his hand, entered the door, saw Owen sitting behind the computer, and then raised her brows, âIâm not looking for you. Iâm looking for him.â
Jared picked out a bottle of Scotch. âThatâs it.â Hailey looked at the familiar wine bottle with an unnatural expression. She remembered that Owenâs favorite wine was this one. It used to be in the wine cabinet in Moore Mansion. Jared took a full view of Haileyâs expression and asked jokingly, âWhat, you are not willing to give it to me?â Hailey twitched the corners of his mouth, âAs long as you like it.â
The two took the wine to the guest room that Jared had cleaned up. Lily looked at the brother and sister who came out with the wine. While ordering someone to prepare a few plates of side dishes and hangover soup, she said, âDonât drink too much.â
Hailey took two wine glasses, sat cross-legged on the carpet with Jared, and poured the wine, âSecond brother, toast to you.â âTo you too.â Jared clinks glasses with her with a smile, with guilt flashing in his eyes, âI have not been by your side to protect you for the past two years, which has made our Hailey suffer a lot of grievances.â He raised his head and took another drink.
Hailey didnât drink it immediately but looked at him seriously, âSecond brother, my decision is my own responsibility. No matter what I have experienced, it is my life, I have no regrets, and you donât have to blame yourself for it. .â âBut there is no light in your eyes.â Jared looked at Hailey with a distressed look on his face, âWhereâs that Hailey who is alive and happy all day?â A dark light flashed in his eyes, âWho should pay for this if I donât make Owen pay.â
