Chapter 31 No Freedom
Haley held the phone in her hand and let out a sigh. In every respect, she should visit her grandmother. She had been missing for four years and owed her grandmother an explanation. However, she didn't know if her grandmother would still protect her as she used to."Mommy, the food in the pot is burning," Todd reminded, scrunching up his little nose.Haley quickly put down her phone and started cooking seriously. Half an hour later, the meal was ready. As soon as Angela smelled the aroma, she didn't need anyone to call her. She sat at the dining table with her little legs and looked like she was eagerly awaiting a meal. Todd smiled, "Mommy, look how cute Angela looks."Haley served a bowl of soup to the little girl and said with a smiling face, "Angela, eat quickly. Eating more will help you grow."Angela buried her head in the bowl and ate with big bites. The table of dishes was quickly finished under the frenzy of the two little ones.Meanwhile, at the Winston family, the long dini

Chapter 32 Haley has Returned
Owen immediately became angry. "Keith, I kindly shared my thoughts with you, yet you’re trying to bring me down. I won't bother with you anymore, humph!" He angrily hung up the phone, unable to eat the biscuits because of his anger.Meanwhile, Keith, who was far overseas, turned coldly toward his assistant, "I'm going back to Cuenca tomorrow, book my flight.""Keith, tomorrow you need to inspect the branch company, and the day after tomorrow, you have to attend the overseas shareholders' meeting. Mr. Winston personally assigned these tasks to you.""Then book the flight three days from now for me." Keith said with a stern face.Haley came back aggressively, leaving the people at his mother's house defenseless. He had to return to the country. Furthermore, Haley was playing mind games, to get close to Owen. He had to go back and keep an eye on it; otherwise, he was certain Owen would step into a trap.Madam DeRoss's birthday banquet was this Friday. After dropping off the two kids at

Chapter 33 Who Will Get the Shares?
Sure enough, as Emily's words fell, the expressions of the people at the dining table changed drastically. Four or five years ago, that massive fire burned down the entire DeRoss family fortune.They had lost carrying goods, worth billions of dollars, the DeRoss family took a full two years to recover from that incident. Everyone in the DeRoss family had been affected. It could be said that, although Haley was already ‘dead’ back then, whenever she was mentioned by the DeRoss family later on, they would grit their teeth in anger.Haley noticed the change in everyone's faces and smiled softly, "I've always wanted to ask, what did Mother give me to drink on my eighteenth birthday? Why did I faint after drinking it and wake up later on a hotel bed."After hearing this, Flora's face suddenly changed. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Haley, what nonsense are you talking about?""Grandmother, you know me, although I can be a bit willful, I have never been a reckless girl." Haley bit her lip

Chapter 34 The Unexpected Visitor
Haley curled her lips slightly. If she could take back half of the shares today, it wouldn't be a wasted trip. As for the other half, she believed she would be able to obtain it soon enough.She chuckled, "Emily and I are sisters, no thanks necessary."Madam DeRoss, with her fragile health, had difficulty attending the banquet. Finally seeing her granddaughter, who had been missing for four years, released the tension in her heartstrings, and her body instantly weakened."The butler, will prepare the share transfer agreement, and let's sign it now," Madam DeRoss commanded coldly, coughing once.Her health was frail, and she could leave this world at any moment. Before that happened, she must settle the mess that was the DeRoss family."Grandmother, there's no need to rush, right?" Emily suppressed her unwillingness deep within and spoke. "Signing the agreement tomorrow would be the same."Flora chimed in, "Yes, why be in a hurry? It's your birthday today, and we can handle the share t

Chapter 35 The Unexpected Response
Haley calmly explained the origin and destination of the fifty percent ownership of the DeRoss Group.After speaking, she said lightly, "In Mr. Winston's opinion, is it reasonable for me to take back the shares my mother left me?""Not reasonable." Ivan uttered these words indifferently.Emily's face showed a hint of ecstasy. This man truly considered things from her perspective! With Ivan's words, she had a reason to refuse to sign the share transfer agreement. Even her grandmother couldn't blame her for it.Haley's face turned cold. Sure enough, she shouldn't have trusted this man. She wasted her breath for nothing. She was about to speak again, when Ivan's voice rang out."Haley, if I were you, I would do whatever it takes to reclaim all the shares." His voice carried a coldness. "How can you leave half of the inheritance your own mother left you to someone else?"Haley was stunned for a moment. Did he mean that what he said earlier was unreasonable?Did she misunderstand him?"Iva

Chapter 36 The Interesting Car Journey
Haley opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. Just as she was about to start the engine, the door on the passenger side was opened. Ivan bent over and sat in the car, his expression leisurely and carefree, as if it was his own car.Haley sarcastically raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Winston, what's the meaning of this?""My car broke down, and you're giving me a ride back," Ivan leaned back in the seat, nonchalantly saying, "You won't be wasting your time."Haley loosened her grip on the steering wheel and calmly said, "I believe someone from the DeRoss family would be happy to give Mr. Winston a ride. How about I call Emily?""You're afraid to be alone with me?" Ivan suddenly leaned forward, his cold face coming closer to Haley's.Their breaths intertwined, and the air inexplicably became ambiguous. Haley's heartbeat suddenly became erratic.She pretended to remain calm and turned her head, gripping the steering wheel, and said indifferently, "At the last Martínez family banquet, M

Chapter 37 Haley Helps Owen
Haley looked at Owen seriously. "You're a brave young man, so don't cry so easily in the future." Angela, being a little girl, hadn't cried much since she was born. "Haley, I won't cry anymore... I just, haven't seen you in so long, so I missed you a little bit." He blushed as soon as he said that. Ivan's mouth twitched. When did Owen start speaking such cheesy words? How come he didn't know? And what kind of magic did this woman possess that made Owen, the little demon king, look so pitiful?Haley felt a bit embarrassed by the whole situation. Actually, she had a good impression of this child, but Owen was a Winston family member. If she showed too much care for him, it would raise suspicions of her trying to gain favor with the Winston family. She put Owen down and said softly, “I have something to do, so I’ll go back first. Goodbye.” "No!" Owen hugged her thigh tightly. His voice became choked up again. "You just arrived and want to leave already. I want to stay with you a lit

Chapter 38 A Beautiful Woman
This bowl of plain noodles had no seasoning; the soup looked almost like water.When the soup splashed onto Haley's chest, her clothes immediately became soaked, clearly outlining the contours of her undergarments."I-I'm sorry!" Owen was scared to death. Haley had come to see him, and he had done such a stupid thing."Let me wipe it for you." He hurriedly grabbed tissues to wipe Haley's chest. Ivan’s eyebrows suddenly twitched. For some reason, he felt disgusted seeing Owen touch this woman's intimate area.He stood up coldly. "Mrs. DeRoss, you should go change your clothes."Haley covered her chest with tissues. Her shirt was completely wet, and it seemed like her underwear was damp too. Dressed like this, she couldn't possibly go out.She pursed her lips. "I'd like to take a shower and dry my clothes. Is Mr. Winston okay with that?"“Okay, of course!” Owen nodded eagerly, taking Haley’s hand and leading her upstairs.He opened the door to a room on the second floor. "This is my ro

Chapter 39 The Car Chase
Haley glanced at her watch, on her wrist, and saw that it was already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Preschool was about to let out. She had unknowingly spent so much time at the Winston family's place.Originally, she had intended to visit the studio, but now it was getting late, so she had to go straight to the preschool to pick up the two children. Haley drove to the preschool and waited at the entrance for a while, then she saw the two children walking out, holding hands. Surrounding the two children were also a group of other kids.“Todd, you were amazing today. You must be the most talented kid at our preschool!”"Todd, you look so handsome. I want to be friends with you too. Can you sit with me tomorrow?"“I want to sit with my sister,” Todd replied calmly. “If you want to be friends with my sister, then I will be your friend too.”"Angela is so beautiful. If I play with her, I will surely become a beautiful princess too!""I want to be friends with Angela too!"So, the other

Chapter 40 A Head-to-Head
Haley carried the ingredients into the villa and said as she walked, "This is my grandmother's house.""Your grandmother sure treats you well," Thomas clicked his tongue twice, "But let's be clear, this house belongs to your grandmother, not your name. How about this, marry me, and I'll buy you a Bund waterfront villa with only your name on it."Haley kicked at him, "Thomas, if you keep talking nonsense, just get out!""Ouch, Haley, be gentle, that hurt!" Thomas dodged with Angela in his arms. "I was wrong, I won't tease you anymore."He sat on the floor in the living room, playing with building blocks with Angela. Todd glanced at his sister and habitually opened his laptop, logging into his personal account. Suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of coldness appeared in his gentle eyes. Someone was trying to crack the encrypted surveillance video he secured. Half of the one hundred and eight passwords had already been decoded. He quickly opened the program page and entered batt
