Chapter 053 What Was She Up To?
p. As soon as Andy’s voice died away, his father smacked him so hard that he spun and almost fell.
Shawn’s cursing resounded through the office. “Shut up, you wretch!”
Owen was just sitting there watching the drama. He remained silent the entire time. Andy received a
beating and a re from his father before he behaved himself. Compared with his cynical and unruly
son, Shawn was an old fox who knew when to advance or retreat. He was aware of the importance of
having a great patron and ying to the score. “No offense, Mr. Moore. Andy is spoiled by me and only
into love affairs.” Shawn smiled elegantly, “Men should focus on their careers, and romance is just icing
on the cake. We should never let it mess with our judgment. Don’t you think?”
Owen raised his eyes and looked at the man indifferently. “Mr. Carter, are you
talking about me?” The smile on Shawn’s face froze. In the past, he could sit, talk, andugh with
Owen, but now he needed a favor from the man and could barely maintain hisposure.
Although Owen was not much older than Andy, his aura was even stronger than that of Shawn. He was
naturally awe-inspiring. His temperament was based on his strength and ability. “No, there is no way
you’re an emotional person.” “So, I have my reasons to stop partnering with Artistic Talent.”
Owen slightly leaned back in the chair. At a raise of the hand, Jose came up and handed Shawn a
stack of files. Thetter had a bad feeling but took it nevertheless. He flipped through a few pages
before his face darkened. From behind him, Andy had a glimpse of the content and turned pale. “How
come you have this?” Andy’s eyes rounded as he looked at Owen. “Where did you get it? Are you
behind all of this?”
Agitated, he rushed over to question Owen, but Jose intercepted him and
grabbed his arm so heavily that it almost broke. Andy grunted in pain. “Mr. Moore, have mercy!” Shawn
lost his cool. At the end of the day, Andy was
his son, and Shawn couldn’t see him hurt.
Sitting on the sofa, Owen remainedposed. “Young people shouldn’t be impulsive. It’s okay that you
fool around, but you should know the limits. It’s undesirable that you make stupid mistakes.” Shawn
broke into a cold sweat, bowing and scraping “I had it intercepted before it could be delivered to the
relevant departments.
Take the files and the contract back. Spoiling your son is no different from killing him. Heed my advice,
Mr. Carter.” Owen was wearing a ck shirt today. It blended into the ck chair. He was sitting there
motionless and emotionless
There was no way such a man would give himself over to blind emotions. The cold sweat had
drenched Shawn’s shirt. Their trip here was fruitless and ridiculous. He grabbed his paralyzed son and
left in dejection. After they left, Jose said with concern, “The father and son are evil. I’m afraid
they’d vent their anger on your wife.”
The look on Owen’s face was distant. Aware of what kind of person the father
and son were, he had the same concern. “Keep an eye on them and inform me of anything abnormal.
Send people to watch Hailey too.” “Consider it done.” Jose went away to carry out his order.
After dinner, Hailey went to the machine room and selected a piece of material. She nned to do
some carving practice. Since she returned to Poya, she had been busy withpany affairs and out of
practice. Her skills were getting rusty. Sitting under themp, she started to carve a piece of gold with a
knife. The glittering metal was money even if it was in the form of powders, but Hailey thought nothing
of it. Following the fine marks, she urately andAll rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
quickly had a rose carved out. It was true to life. It was a unique craft of the Newman family, passed
down to one person in each
generation. Her grandpa passed it down to her father, and her father passed it down to her. When
Hailey was three years old, she started carving things in her father’s arms. A great amount of gold,
silver, and jade had been wasted before she acquired the skill
Those in her family were the only ones in the know. The secret had been kept even from Owen. After
craving a rose, Hailey prepared to crave another when thendline phone rang. She got up to pick it up
before Lily’s voice came. She
was told that Eve wanted to see her. “Let her in!”
Thest few days had been tormenting for Eve. Ever since Hailey came back, she hadn’t lived a happy
day. She had been grounded from time to time. Under watch, she couldn’te out. It was as terrible
as serving in prison. Today, she found a chance to call Morgan for help when she was using the
bathroom. She urged her father toe to her rescue. Unfortunately, Morgan was too obsessed with
stone gambling to care about her. He brushed her off
and hung up the phone, which irritated Eve. Her avaricious father was always unreliable when it came
to the critical moment. Eve sat on the toilet, fidgeting. If things went on like this, she would be driven
crazy by Hailey. Then again, she didn’t think it was wise to sh with Hailey head-on. That would not
do her any good. She didn’t want to do this alone anymore. She needed help. Biting her lips, Eve
mulled it over and made a decision. She dialed another number and pinned her hope on it. “Hailey.”
The butler took Eve to Hailey’s room. Eve politely greeted Hailey rather than shout abuse like before.
Hailey did the final touch to the carving and hummed indifferently. Her practice today had paid off. She
nced at Eve and took her eyes back. “I gave you two days to memorize it. You’ve done it so soon?
Looks like I underestimated your intelligence. Recite it for me.”
Eve was stunned. She had been trying to outsmart the two bodyguards today and had no time even to
lick her wounds. No kidding. She was in no mood to memorize the family rules. There was a total of
100 items that just would not
register. “About that.” She smiled awkwardly, “I haven’t memorized them all yet. How
about I recite it for you tomorrow? I came to ask a favor. I hope you’ll grant it.” There was a dramatic
change in Eve’s attitude. Three years ago, or since their childhood, to be precise, she had been polite
and well-behaved in front of Hailey. Onlyter did she reveal her true color.
Her ttery couldn’t spell anything good. Eva hadn’t changed, but Hailey was no
longer that good-tempered girl either. “What is it?” Eve replied, “I’m thinking if I can get Ava here for a
couple of days. She’s about to graduate from college, and the three of us haven’t been together for a
while.
Tmiss her very much.”
Hailey took a sidelong nce at her. “As far as I remember, Ava and you don’t
get along. You have vied with each other since childhood.”
“No, we are cousins, and quarrels are normal. Besides, it was all in the past. We’ve grown up and
should stick to each other. Don’t you think?”
Hailey looked at the devious smile on Eve’s face andmented in her heart. What else could Eve be up
to? Calling over help to deal with her wicked cousin.
“So be it. We’ll have a get-together.” They were both her cousins anyway. She
could discipline them together. It would be a lively scene.
