Chapter 68
Hailey wondered if her eyes were playing a trick on her.
She clearly remembered that the party was at night. The sun couldn’t possibly be setting now.
You weren’t mistaken. The sun has set.” Behind her, Owen’s arm pulled her into his embrace again.
His voice was hoarse and sexy, and especially deep.
“It’s almost evening the next day, Hailey. We slept for a long time.” He leaned over and kissed her face.
Hailey stiffened and thought, ‘Gosh, I came to attend a party and slept until the next night? Oh no, my reputation is ruined‘
“Why did you-” Halfway through her sentence, Hailey froze. She wondered why her voice was hoarse.
She heard Owen’s low laughter. “I’ll get you a bottle of water.”
Hailey’s face turned extremely red. She punched Owen angrily.
Hailey felt terrible after not eating or drinking for a day. Her stomach was growling from hunger, and her body was very tired.
Owen brought her a bottle of mineral water. “I ordered food. It’ll be delivered soon.”
Hailey only felt her throat was a little better after drinking half a bottle of water.
She took out her phone and called the Dalton Mansion.
She had not gone back for the entire night. Her grandfather would probably be worried sick.
As expected, there were countless calls on her phone.
After reporting her itinerary, Hailey got up, put on her clothes, and went to wash up.
“How are you feeling now?” Hailey asked vaguely as she ate.
Owen nodded. “I’m fine now.”
“What happened? Was there something wrong with the wine?”
Owen was silent for a moment. “There was an aphrodisiac with hallucinogenic ingredients in the red wine. After I went to the washroom yesterday, I felt dizzy. Then, someone appeared beside me and said that she would take me to the lounge. At that time, I thought that person was you, so I followed her.”
“And then what happened?”
“When I reached the door of the lounge, my mind suddenly cleared up. The hallucinogenic content in the aphrodisiac probably wasn’t much. I recognized that the person wasn’t you, so I left.” At this point, Owen revealed a gentle smile. “Fortunately, you appeared in time.”
Hailey was also a little afraid.
Owen had explained calmly, but an aphrodisiac was potent even if it did not contain much hallucinogenic content.
It was obvious from the state Owen was in last night.
If she hadn’t appeared, something would have gone wrong with Owen.

She pursed her lips slightly. “Alice was behind it.”
Owen was silent for a moment before nodding. “I know.”
After Hailey finished eating, she wiped her mouth with a tie and looked up at him with clear eyes. “What are you going to do?
His ex–girlfriend had drugged him and almost ruined their current relationship, Hailey wanted to know how Owen was going to handle this matter.
Owen was silent for a long time before he said, “I owe her a favor.”
Hailey listened indifferently and did not interrupt.
“When I was young, I fell into the water. She saved me.” Owen took a deep breath as if he was a little frustrated.
“Hailey, I’m sorry.”
He couldn’t do anything to Alice because he was indebted to her.
However, Owen knew that Hailey was upset.
Hailey was silent and did not respond. After more than ten seconds, she said, “Got it.”
Her tone was calm and emotionless.
Owen was most afraid of her acting this way.
He would rather Hailey argue with him and yell at him that if he couldn’t draw a clear line with Alice, he shouldn’t come looking for her.
He didn’t want her to be calm and indifferent like now, as if she did not care about him at all.
“Did you buy the pills?” Hailey suddenly looked up and asked.
Owen was stunned for a moment and did not know what pills she was referring to.
“I don’t want to get pregnant. I’m still young.” Hailey’s pupils were dark as she spoke calmly.
Owen’s expression froze.
Hailey stood up from the sofa and tied her hair up. “I’ll buy the pills.”
“Stay here. I’ll buy them.” Owen pressed her shoulders down.
Hailey didn’t care or refuse. She didn’t want to move about
anyway.
Owen took his coat and left.
Hailey sat on the sofa for a while, then got up and walked to the window to open it. The cold wind blew in, making her hair
messy.
Hailey was a little frustrated. She glanced at the time and called Joshua. “Is there any event?”
Joshua was very surprised. “Hailey? Didn’t you stop participating in racing?”
The event that Hailey asked about was racing.
Joshua loved cars, games, and various extreme sports.

Although Hailey and Joshua knew each other through games, after the two of them got to know each other, they soon hung out together because of their similar interests.
Joshua was a wild kid. Although he was young, he had enough freedom to go wherever he wanted. Therefore, even though Hailey was in the countryside, the two of them could still tegt.
Hailey was also wild when she first had a second chance at life.
She was no longer as silent and cowardly as she was in the previous timeline. However, the hatred accumulated from her previous timeline made her lose sleep for nights, and she was in low spirits, so she fell madly in love with extreme sports,
After that period, Hailey returned to normal and began to plan everything.
It had been a long time since she last played such extreme sports, so Joshua was surprised.
“I’m feeling a little frustrated. Hailey said coldly.
Joshua didn’t ask further. He merely checked the recent events and sent the address to Hailey.
“Hailey, where are you now? I’ll pick you up.”
“No need. I’ll meet you at the venue,” Hailey said lightly and hung up.
Owen was not back yet, but Hailey did not want to wait any longer. She left a note on the table and left.
The cold wind blew, clearing Hailey’s mind. However, when she thought of a certain someone, she was still frustrated.
It had been a long time since she had felt this way.
When she passed by the pharmacy, she went in to buy the pills and swallowed them directly. Then, she took a cab to Magemount Peak.
Magemount Peak was a famous racing spot in Hallon City. Competitions were held there almost every night.
It was also Ivan’s territory, but Ivan didn’t like racing, so he rarely went there. He handed the management of the place to an underling, Micah Quinn.
When Hailey arrived, tonight’s competition had yet to begin.
It had been a long time since Joshua had participated in such an event. Therefore, when he appeared, everyone was exclaiming.
“Isn’t this Joshua? It’s been a long time. Why? Have you recovered from your trauma?” Just as Hailey met Joshua, a shrill male voice came from the side.
Hailey looked in the direction of the voice.
It was a man with dyed blue hair. He was thin and average–looking. He was wearing a leather jacket and dressed in a fancy manner. He had two sexy, beautiful girls in his arms.
Hailey had never participated in Hallon City’s racing event, so she did not know who this person was.
However, Joshua seemed to have a grudge against this person.
