Chapter 353


    I held my breath.


    In the next second, another familiar voice reached my ears, "Jacqueline, I really don''t want to be here. I just want to see Rad. If you let Rad see me, I''ll leave and cause no trouble."Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    It was Haley.


    She had actually shown up! She was here for Conrad.


    I had called Conrad, thinking he would get in touch with Haley. It seemed I was mistaken.


    This woman really had nerve, daring to show up at the Wagner family''s doorstep.


    "Are you threatening me?" Jacqueline was no pushover.


    "Jacqueline, not at all. I just want to see Rad," Haley''s tone remained innocuous and weak.


    There''s a saying that looks can be deceiving, and it couldn''t be more urate.


    The first time I saw Haley, I thought she looked so innocent, as if her presence made the world a cleaner ce by several degrees.


    However, I was pped hard by reality.


    "Conrad isn''t here, as I''ve told you," Jacqueline''s voice grew louder, agitated.


    "I know he''s not here," Haley''s voice remained calm and measured.


    Jacqueline didn''t have herposure; though not exactly explosive, she couldn''t tolerate any disrespect, "So what, you think I''m hiding him?" Haley silently consented.


    Jacquelineughed scornfully, "Your curiosity really knows no bounds. No wonder Felicia Hudson couldn''t outy you. Now I see why my son would choose you over Felicia, ady superior to you in every way, preferring a young widow like yourself."


    Her words were harsh, mocking Haley, and inadvertently, me as well.


    I was considered less than a widow, abel on my failed romance with Conrad.


    "Jacqueline, even if you insult or hit me today, I''ll take it. But please, let me see Rad," Haley changed her strategy.


    After several confrontations with her, I hade to understand the calcting heart beneath her innocent facade, full of schemes.


    "Jacqueline, I can''t be without Rad.


    My mother-inw caused a scene at the hospital recently, my video went viral online, and now I can''t even work properly. If I can''t see Radi have nowhere left to turn," Haley''s votee broke into sobs. Content

    "Don''t try to scare me with that," Jacqueline was a woman too; Haley''s tricks couldn''t fool her.


    "Jacqueline, I''m not trying to scare you. I''m serious," Haley said, then fell silent.


    A momentter, I heard Jacqueline exim in shock, "What are you doing? Stop that, or I''ll call the police."

    Hearing the change in Jacqueline''s voice, I sensed something was wrong and moved forward to see


    what was happening. I saw Haley holding a green bottle.


    Jacqueline pointed at her, "Put that down, let''s talk this through calmly."


    Hearing this, I knew Jacqueline was intimidated by Haley''s threat.


    My eyesight was sharp, and I could clearly see thebel on the bottle Haley was holding-it was a deadly herbicide.
