Chapter 64
Owen did not expose Hailey’s lame excuse. Anyway, the shock that should have happened today was in place. He would give Hailey some time to process it.
He had expressed his thoughts clearly.
He wanted to marry her, have children with her, build a complete family with her, and have her for the rest of his life.
“What do you want to cat? I’ll cook it for you,” Owen asked in a low voice. Hailey’s face was reflected in his gentle eyes.
“Sandwich,” Hailey said casually.
Owen smiled and rubbed Hailey’s messy hair. “Alright. Go and wash up. I’ll cook for you.”
Hailey was the only one left in the room, and the air instantly became much lighter.
Hailey put on her clothes and lay on the bed for a while.
She was thinking about life.
Overall, she was at a disadvantage last night.
It was not that he had been eaten clean, but because she was drunk and could not remember what she had felt last night.
She had completely forgotten about the ecstatic and thrilling sensations described in the novel. Only the pain in her back reminded her of how crazy she had been last night.
Hailey let out a long sigh and got off the bed to wash up.
Owen had added a lot of girls‘ clothes to his home after the last incident of Hailey’s menstrual period, making it convenient for her to change at any time.
Hailey changed her clothes, washed up, and went downstairs. Owen had just made breakfast.
Hailey was exceptionally silent during breakfast.
“Still unhappy?” Owen poured her a glass of milk.
Hailey said what was on her mind without paying attention. “I’m not unhappy. I just forgot what I felt last night.”
Hailey instinctively covered her mouth after saying her words and looked up at Owen.
Owen’s handsome, deep eyes held an opaque smile as he said, “Then… why don’t we do it again?”
“No…”
Before Hailey could finish her sentence, she was already picked up by Owen and pressed against the wall.

Christopher received a call at 2.00 p.m.
“Come out of your home now. I’ll wait for you outside the residential compound. I believe you should be able to walk to the entrance by yourself,” Alice said with a smile.
Christopher was already immune to the sarcasm and ridicule of others. He replied calmly, “Got it.”

Christopher didn’t seem to care, and there was no point in mocking him. Alice immediately hung up
Christopher finally arrived at the entrance of the residential compound after about 20 minutes.
A black BMW was parked at the entrance of the residential Fampound. The window was down, and a woman sat in the driver’s seat.
It was Alice,
Christopher had only met Alice once or twice at the parties long ago. He had no impression of Alice,

However, Christopher was no fool. He knew what Alice’s relationship with Gwen used to be. However, he did not expect Alice to bind him so quickly. She was fast.
“Do you need my help?” Alice looked at him with a faint smile.
Christopher’s expression was cold as he said, “No, thanks,”
Alice did not get out of the car. After Christopher got into the car with difficulty, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away without waiting for him to sit properly.
The car stopped in front of a cafe. The waiter seemed to notice Christopher was having difficulty with his legs, so he rushed over and helped Christopher out of the car. Then, he pushed Christopher’s wheelchair into the cafe.
“Thank you,” Christopher whispered.
The waiter nodded, pushed him to the seat, and left.
“Let’s get straight to the point. I can’t be bothered to waste my breath.” Alice lazily took a few photos from her bag and handed them to Christopher. With a faint smile, she added, “You like Hailey, don’t you?”
Christopher’s expression darkened slightly, but he remained silent.
“I want to work with you,” said Alice indifferently. “What I want is Owen, and what you want is Hailey. We can mutually benefit. How about that?”
Christopher sneered. “What makes you think I’ll work with you? I like Hailey, but I want her to be happy even more.”
Alice could not help but laugh. “Come on. You can play the drama in your mind, but there’s no need to do it before me, okay? Hailey will be sad when Owen and Hailey break up. Then you can take the opportunity to propose the idea of going abroad to treat your legs.
You can persuade Hailey to go with you. You and Hailey go far away. No one can control what happens abroad.”
Christopher narrowed his eyes and said, “What’s your plan?”
“My plan is simple.” Alice raised her eyebrows slightly and took a small bag of white powder from her bag. “This is an aphrodisiac I bought from the black market.
“It’s Mrs. Gibbs’s sixtieth birthday next week. Owen has a good relationship with Ivan, so he will go. When the time comes, I’ll put this in his wine and let Hailey see Owen and me in the same bed.”
It was an old–fashioned method, but it had to be said it was the most effective.
Even if Hailey believed Owen did not sleep with someone else on purpose, the matter would always be between them as long as it happened, making Hailey feel disgusted.
It was too easy to destroy a relationship, as long as one’s methods were despicable enough!

Christopher’s gaze landed on the medicinal powder, and he slowly pursed his lips.
“Do you want to work with me?“Alice asked again.
Christopher took a deep breath before looking up at Alice Wh a cold gaze. “I have one more request”
“Shoot,” said Alice.
Christopher said, “I want 15 million dollars”

Alice’s expression immediately changed. She suppressed her voice and said, “Christopher Blackwell, who do you think you are? How dare you ask me for 15 million dollars!”
“Why? You, the dignified daughter of the Gibbs family, don’t even have 15 million dollars?” Christopher sneered.
“I’m working with you because I think highly of you. Christopher, do you think I can’t do it without you?”
Christopher took out his phone and clicked twice. Suddenly, a recording was played and it was Alice’s plan.
“You…” Alice widened her eyes in disbelief.
She did not expect Christopher to be so despicable!
He even recorded and threatened her!
“Of course, you can choose not to cooperate with me, but the recording will be transmitted to Owen’s phone,” Christopher said slowly.
Christopher was not a pawn that could be manipulated by others. He naturally sought to gain more for himself when an opportunity came knocking on his door.
“You are despicable and shameless!” Alice cursed angrily.
“It takes one to know one.” Christopher took a sip of coffee leisurely. “Miss Gibbs, have you thought it through?”
Alice took a deep breath. “Alright, I promise you. I’ll give you 15 million dollars after it is done. Then, you’ll leave Hallon City with Hailey forever.”
“Deal.” Christopher smiled.
Soon, it was Constance’s birthday party.
Constance’s birthday party was always low–key in the past, but her birthday party was exceptionally luxurious this time.
