The Crippled Billionaire's Darling Wife Twenty four
‘Ha... He is,’ Hailey thought. ‘He was being very grumpy.’ But she shook her head with a smile instead. "No, he isn't. My stay here has been accommodating." "Hm. That's good. Where is Nolan?" Hailey was quiet for a moment, recalling how coldly she was ushered out just minutes ago. But she said, "I think he is in his bedroom. Maybe it would be best if you wait for him to come down?" When she said this, Max looked at her a little strangely. She couldn't tell why he looked at her that way, but she knew her words sounded a little ambiguous, as though she was the mistress of the house. "Ah, no... it's not like that. I just thought he might still be getting dressed." Actually, she was only worried that he would still be struggling to get himself into the wheelchair, and that Max would find him in such a position. She could imagine how embarrassing it would be for a proud man like Nolan. His teasing smile didn't go away; instead, it intensified. But thankfully, Hailey had thick skin an

“Let me tell you, you better behave in the Rothschild mansion. If a word gets out about how your sister was supposed to marry that disabled person, I’ll make your life miserable. It’s your luck that you have the opportunity to marry into such a family, so you better behave." He paused for a moment, catching his breath, before continuing. "You have to marry him whether you like it or not." Hailey stood there with her arms crossed and her chest held high as she watched him rant. She didn’t utter a word in reply, but her stance made her position clear. She had visited the Lincolns that day to retrieve her luggage because she needed her writing prompts. To her surprise, Bernard didn't even let her enter before he started ranting like a madman. He was annoyed by Nolan's reaction the other day and he believed Hailey must have said something derogatory about him. "Dad, don't be mad at her. You know sister just came from the countryside and doesn't understand how things work here in the ci

The corners of Hailey's mouth and eyes twitched when she heard this. She clicked her tongue and contemplated. Anyway, she was going to get married regardless, as she had a deal with Nolan, but she didn't mind ripping this family of hers along with it. Moreover, she had not heard of the inheritance until she was about to die, and from Nolan. She wanted to test the waters and see Bernard's reaction. According to Nolan, her mother had made a condition regarding her share of the inheritance. Probably, she knew what kind of person her husband was and that Hailey might be fooled into giving up her inheritance to him when she was younger. So she left a condition that Hailey must be married and twenty years old before she could take it over. Hailey simply chuckled and replied, "I can get married to him if you want me to." She spoke so casually and unexpectedly that Bernard did not immediately catch her words. But when he did, he called out in disbelief, "You will?" Hailey shrugged in reply

Hailey stepped out of the car as the driver pulled into the garage, and she settled on the marble stone floor. As she approached the mansion's door, the servants working around the lounge greeted her. "Welcome home," they said. She smiled and greeted them back before stepping into the lounge. To her surprise, it wasn't Mrs. June working there, but Nolan seated on one of the sofas. It caught her off guard, causing her to pause momentarily. It was the first time she saw him without his wheelchair, except for the other day in the room. Nolan sat upright, his legs straightened rather than dangling, giving the impression that he could walk. It was impressive how he maintained composure, making it difficult for a stranger to discern his condition. Hailey watched him quietly, captivated by his presence. He was undeniably handsome, but what truly stood out was his air of cool confidence. He exuded calmness and stability, seemingly unfazed by anything. Lost in her thoughts, Hailey momentar

Early the next morning, Hailey and Nolan set out for the Civil Bureau Office to obtain their marriage licenses. Despite Nolan's condition, it was a hassle for him, and Hailey tried to convince him to stay at home and let her handle it with his assistant. With the Rothschild influence, their physical presence wasn't necessary to get everything done and ready. However, Nolan insisted on being there to make it more meaningful for Hailey. He believed it wouldn't be respectful enough to obtain a marriage license without being present with her. Soon, a black Jaguar pulled up in front of the building, and the assistant opened the door. The two of them promptly entered the building. Due to Nolan's status, they bypassed the usual procedures and relied on his connections. The process went swiftly, and in no time, they were done. Half an hour later, Hailey and Nolan walked out of the building side by side, followed by the assistant. Hailey clutched a red-colored booklet in her hands, repeated

Hailey looked up the stairs and was stunned to see a man at the top, staring at them. He had taken a bath and changed into a casual turtleneck and pants. His perm-framed hair complemented his perfectly sculpted face. It was the first time Hailey had seen him dressed in casual wear. He was usually in corporate attire, and it was rare to see him so relaxed. Lauren seemed momentarily surprised before flying up the stairs excitedly. Hailey watched quietly, choosing not to interfere. However, Lauren quickly asked, "Uncle, who is this auntie?" Hailey was speechless. How was she an auntie? She was clearly a young lady. But she didn't say anything and continued observing their interaction. Lauren's expression froze for a moment, obviously shocked by his words. She turned her sharp gaze towards Hailey and folded her arms, looking reluctant. Nolan's patience seemed to be waning. He narrowed his gaze at her and said firmly, "I said apologize." His expression was cold and calm, but Lauren un

A week later... It was the first day back at the City Arts Institute. Hailey had applied after moving in with the Rothschild family, as per her agreement with Nolan when she signed the contract. Her enrollment application was already late, and she would have had to wait until the following year. However, Nolan offered to help, and before she knew it, she was given a chance to take the exam alone and she aced it. The Rothschild family was influential, and Nolan didn't hesitate to flaunt it. As it was mid-winter, Hailey was bundled up to combat the chilly weather. She wore a nude-colored long-sleeved top paired with pants. To complete her outfit, she wore nude ankle-high shoes and a black wool hat. Although Nolan had offered to have one of the drivers drop her off at the institute, she declined. The luxurious and ostentatious cars in the garage didn't appeal to her. Instead, she took the subway and then walked to the building. According to Nolan, she was to meet with the dean first be

Dean Phillips appeared unable to recover from the onslaught of words. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, his gaze turning sharp and resolute. He gave Mr. Ross a penetrating look and asked, "What are you trying to say?" Mr. Ross seemed to realize that his words were irritating the dean, so he adjusted his harsh expression and addressed the dean more carefully. He said, "I apologize for my rudeness, sir. But honestly, I do not believe that these top scores shown on her examination record sheet can be considered reliable." He gestured for emphasis, expecting the dean to agree with him, but instead, the dean's expression soured even further. His voice turned harsh and cold as he asked, "Are you insinuating that she cheated and that the council members helped her?" Mr. Ross's words caught in his throat, and he stammered, "No... I..." "No, I do not mean that the council helped her cheat. But for all we know, she could have cheated without our knowledge. It's highly suspicio
