Chapter 77

Chapter 077 Render Good for Evil On their way to the office, Chris updated Hailey about Andy’s situation. In the police station, those people had confessed before they were even interrogated. Happy to see the police officers, they would rather stay in prison for the rest of their lives than meet Hailey again. That woman was a terror.

The policemen were confused. At first, they had regarded those punks as victims. They were the injured ones after all. After hearing their confession, the police officers figured out the situation. Turned out these punks had intended to hit people but got hit. The police officers had thought it was Old K and others who did it. Just as they were about to voice against torture, those punks claimed in unison that they had been hit by a woman, and she had no helpers. It was a disgrace but the truth. They had been staying in the underworld for a long time, not expecting to fall victim to a woman one day. Since witnesses and evidence were all there, the culprits were arrested and detained at night for mayhem and plotting homicide. “That bastard can’t be called a man. Andy put all the blame on Maureen, claiming that she hired thugs in his name without telling him and that it has nothing to do with him.” As a man, Chris scoffed at Andy’s action. “What a jerk!” Ava was full of indignation, “What about Maureen?

What did she say?”

“What else could she say?” Chris shook his head, “She couldn’t defy a higher-up. Probably, when the accident happened last night, Andy had colluded with her and promised her benefits if she could take the blame. Maureen is just a minor celebrity. Her life and death are in the hands of the Carter family. If she refused, denied it, and accused Andy, she might end up more terrible. Shawn would make sure of it.”

Ava listened and had a bitter feeling. Although she had just entered society, she had heard about or seen such terrible things. They happened. “Hailey.” Ava looked back at Hailey with concern, “If Andy were acquitted of a charge, he would definitely hold a grudge and take revenge on you. What should we do?” Hailey had listened to their conversation without any comment. As Ava asked, she replied indifferently, “Don’t worry about it. He won’t be released so easily. Even if he’s acquitted of a charge, he can’t harm me. You overestimated him.” Not to mention Andy, even Shawn was nothing in her eyes. The father and son were just small potatoes.

They arrived at the office building of Crystaldale, only to see Shawn waiting anxiously in the lobby. At the sight of Hailey, the man rushed over but got intercepted by the security guards. “Ms. Newman…”

Shawn’s arms were caught. He shouted anxiously, “Ms. Newman, I mean you no harm. I just hope you’ll have mercy and spare my son.” Hailey strode forward without even taking a glance at the man. After she went upstairs, Chris waved his hand as a signal for the security guards to let go of Shawn. “Mr. Carter, what your son did was horrible. Last time, he hired trolls to attack Ms. Newman on the internet. Ms. Newman was unwilling to wrestle with a young man. However, instead of conducting himself, he hired thugs to intercept and harm Ms. Newman. I don’t think anyone would bear with it.”

Shawn’s head was covered with sweat. He bowed and scraped. “True, it was my fault that I failed to discipline my son. I didn’t expect that wretch to do such a stupid thing.”

With a spurious smile, Chris said, “Aware that you’re too busy to discipline your son, Ms. Newman has found a good place for him.” Shawn was thick-skinned, but this was too harsh. A cold glint flashed across his turbid eyes, but he managed to contain his anger. He bit the bullet and smiled flatteringly.

“Mr. Marsh, no parents don’t care about their children. Andy is a wretch, but he’s my only son. In our family, there is only one heir in each generation. If she dares to harm my son, we’ll have to start a war at all costs. Even though you’re back by Mazedew Group, you should not go too far.” “Mazedew Group?” Chris was confused, “What has this got to do with Mazedew Group?”

| Shawn grunted, “Stop playing dumb. Mazedew Group canceled the partnership with us because of you.”

Chris went upstairs and reported what Shawn had said. Hailey knew about the termination of the partnership between Mazedew Group and Artistic Talent. Wrinkling her brow, she said, “The termination of their partnership has nothing to do with me.” “That’s what I said.” Chris continued, “But according to Shawn, Mazedew Group unilaterally terminated the contract because Andy’s action of hiring trolls to attack you annoyed Mr. Moore.”

Hailey lightly shook her head. “Owen is not an impulsive person. He should have found out that Artistic Talent is corrupted and thus decided not to work with them anymore. In recent years, Andy has been riding the high horse and offended a lot of media with his blunt words and actions. Artistic Talent’s reputation that has been built up over the years is implicated. In contrast, Mazedew Group has been implementing a steady, low-key strategy. They’re not fans of risks.” Owen’s decision was proved wise.

After the news of Andy plotting murder was released, Artistic Talent was brought to the fore, and their stocks plummeted. That was why Shawn had hurried over and pleaded with her. Not a soft-hearted person, she would never render good for evil. Those who caused her trouble would be punished.

“Keep an eye on Andy. I bet Shawn will spare no effort to bail him out through a lawyer, and we will dig out the dirty deeds of Artistic Talent through Andy,” Hailey said blandly, “Remember this. Our target is Artistic Talent rather than Andy. The company has been on a rampage over the years, and I will let Shawn know that what is robbed will be returned.”

Chris nodded and smiled involuntarily. “Allan would jump for joy if he learned about this.”

At the thought of that drama queen, Hailey couldn’t help but curl her lips. Mazedew Group then crossed her mind, and the smile on her face faded away. “How is the preparation of dinner?” Chris quickly turned on the tablet. “I’ve contacted Jose. It seems that Mr. Moore prefers a simple meal. He’s not picky about food.” Hailey scoffed in her heart. If he were not, there would be no picky eaters in this world.
