Chapter 104
Hailey lowered her eyes and silently moved aside. Then, Owen expressionlessly brushed past Hailey,
“Let’s go,” Hailey said to Raphael. When they moved, Owen’s cold voice came from behind. “Why weren’t you frank with me that you have a new lover?” It was a sarcasm.
Hailey was slightly shocked. She looked back and saw one side of Owen’s sullen face. “I…” She attempted to correct Owen, but her words died on her lips.
She felt it unnecessary to explain or argue with Owen. Given their current situation, it was better for her to cut ties with him as quickly as possible.
It was impossible for them to get back together. Only the insiders knew whether that car incident had resulted from a brake failure.
Hailey then said coldly, “Believe what you want.” Owen pursed his lips tightly, and his expression turned grim.
He was expecting an explanation from Hailey. To his disappointment, Hailey didn’t defend herself.
Frustrated, Owen walked into the house. He had come at the news that Hailey was home, and he would like to take her to meet Henry.
His enthusiasm became ridiculous at that moment because Hailey had found herself a new lover.
Stubborn, Hailey and Owen walked away in different directions. Hailey quickened her pace without looking back.
At the door, Owen couldn’t help but stop, look back, and saw the back of the slender Hailey.
“Boss,” Richard following behind Owen called. “Should we chase after her?”
Owen shot one cold glance at Richard. “Do you think that I can’t live without her?” He would keep his love to himself since Hailey didn’t cherish it.
“Does she really think that she is my only choice? I am popular among women,” Owen thought.
With a sneer, Owen walked into Thomas’s house. With his head down and his mouth shut, Richard followed his boss into the house.
Deep down, he had one question for his boss. “Why are you here to meet Mr. Dalton if you no longer care about Miss Dalton as you said?” he wondered.
Never would Owen admit that he was here to play up to Thomas. If Richard asked that question, Owen would say that he missed Thomas who had watched him grow up.
That was Owen. “It seems you like that man very much,” Raphael commented as he followed behind Hailey.
Hailey said coldly, “I did, but he has nothing to do with me now.” Hearing this, Raphael asked with a smile, “What if he pesters you?”
“He won’t,” Hailey said firmly. “As the head of a big company, he has his pride.” In other words, she and Owen would move on respectively.
Raphael changed the topic. “I’m sorry.” Hailey instantly got the hint.
Before she voiced her displeasure, Raphael made an apology. Raphael explained, “I shouldn’t have put my hand around
your shoulders.”

Hailey looked at Raphael and said, “I accept your apology. I now want to know why

This was her second meeting with Raphael, and he had deliberately let Owen misunderstand their relationship with an
intimate act…
“I don’t like that man,” Raphael explained. Hailey frowned at this answer and dropped the topic.
“Your grudges with him have nothing to do with me if there are any between you two, Just don’t use me again. She hated being used.
Raphael lowered his head, raised his hand, and hid his smile behind his palm. After a nod, he made another apology.
Hailey walked on without a response to Raphael’s second apology. Soon, she hailed a taxi and got into the car with Raphael
Raphael escorted Hailey to her destination and then headed to Riverside Estate. He knew the advantage of living near the woman he liked.
It was Hailey’s first visit to the Dalton Entertainment. In the past, Hailey left the follow–up work to her colleagues after she persuaded her targets to enter into partnerships.
A team had been built for her project, The Moon in My heart, but it wasn’t as professional as Aiden’s because of some
reasons.
Anna Collins, whom Thomas had arranged to be Hailey’s assistant, waited at the entrance of the company. When Hailey was absent from the company, Anna was in charge of the team.
Anna was a pretty elite. She wore a white suite and had delicate makeup on her face.
“Miss Hailey,” Anna greeted Hailey with a smile. “I’m Anna Collins. I’ll work as your assistant in the coming days.”
After a nod, Hailey glanced at Anna and asked, “Where’s Mr. Lester?”
“He is waiting for you in the lounge.” Speaking, Anna led Hailey to the lounge. In the elevator, Hailey bumped into Aiden.
Aiden in a suit had an enchanting woman by his side. “Hailey, why did you come today?” he asked with a smile.
“Dad,” Hailey greeted Aiden with a smile. “I came to see the process of my project. Where are you going?”
“A new company will be built for a start, and we are on the way to see the building for it,” Aiden explained.
Hailey glanced at the woman beside Aiden. That woman seemed to be in her early twenties, had delicate features, and looked meek.
That new face had its distinctive charm in showbiz full of pretty women, so its owner might become popular with the right marketing strategy.
Aiden did have good taste in women. Now that Selena was abroad, Rose wouldn’t be satisfied with her current situation. After years of marriage, she must get the goods on Aiden, and that was why he didn’t divorce her after Selena’s departure. “This is the starlet you are talking about, right?” Hailey asked Aiden while smiling at the stranger.
With a good grace, the stranger nodded and smiled at Hailey. “Nice to meet you, Miss Dalton. My name is Mattie Mason. You may call me Mattie.”
With a faint smile, Hailey said, “Nice to meet you, Ms. Mason.” She didn’t call Mattie by the name as suggested “Aiden, I like Miss Dalton. She and I are about the same age, so may I friend her on WhatsApp?” Mattie asked sweetly.

Now, Mattie was the apple of Aiden’s eye. Aiden would die for Mattie if she wanted him to. In his forties, Aiden felt that he just found his true love.
Even so, he didn’t decide for Hailey. The reason was that he dreaded her
