Chapter 27
Hailey stared at Oliver, annoyed, and said, “Oh, you. Don’t you know to call me about this matter? Yvonne is so stupid that she did not call me until this morning!”
Hailey glanced at Sienna and said sarcastically, “If someone abuses their power, a lawyer can sue them.”
Obviously, Hailey was talking about Sienna.
Sienna bit her lips and said nothing. She did not have the high ground regarding Oliver’s matter, so she had to endure no matter how he caused trouble.
However, she could not figure out how Oliver knew everything so clearly if he were not on the same side as Sean’s group.
Although Oliver accidentally ruined her plans, he also gave all the information on Sean’s group in one swoop, taking much credit. It did not make sense. novelbin
That was because Sienna’s actions were part of a secret plan. There was no way ordinary people could know about it.
When Oliver walked to the door, Hailey asked again; “Mr. Eastwood, you must have been up all night with your big dark circles. It might affect your work today, so I think we should seek compensation from them for the loss of today’s work.”
Sienna could not help but argue, “I’ve already apologized. What do you mean by that? It’s only a one- day loss. Fine, I’ll pay
for it!”
Sienna angrily took 40 dollars from her pocket and stuffed it into Oliver’s hand while glaring at Hailey.
The two beautiful women fought like cats.
Hailey sneered. “Only 40 dollars? Are you treating us like beggars? Let me inform you of Mr. Eastwood’s earnings for the past three days. He earned 780 thousand dollars on the 27th, 6 million on the 28th, and 17 million on the 29th. Do you want to compensate for the daily or monthly average profit?”
Sienna was stunned, and her face turned red. She was frustrated. “Who do you think you’re extorting from?”
Hailey did not back off. “Shall I print out the list of transactions and receipts of the store for you?”
A plump middle-aged man approached them and greeted Hailey with a smile, “Why, Hailey. Why are you here?”
He then turned his head and asked Sienna, “What’s going on?”
Sienna bit her lips and said, “Chief Crawford, I… There has been a misunderstanding, but not with her.”
Hailey sneered. “Mr. Crawford, she has locked up Mr. Eastwood since last night without any evidence. Your subordinates are
so scary.
Tyler glared at Sienna and said, “Sienna, apologize to them. We are serving these people. You must correct your wrongdoings.”
Sienna could not stand it anymore and apologized to Oliver honestly, “Oli… Sir, I’m sorry. I apologize for what happened yesterday.”
Hailey was finally relieved and said, “Since Mr. Crawford has spoken, I shall show respect to you. Let’s go, Mr. Eastwood.”
Oliver touched the traces of the handcuffs left on his wrists and went to Hailey’s Bentley Continental in the parking lot outside the police station.
While driving, Hailey said, unperturbed, “I expected you to frighten her for a little while, but you stayed silent. Did your heart soften seeing her look so charming?”
Oliver was stunned.
Hailey snorted and said, “What? Did I hit the bullseye?”
“No…” Oliver denied it awkwardly and said, “Yes. We… We went on a blind date.”
“A blind date?” Hailey froze and became even more annoyed. “Since you know each other, why are you so rude to one another? Why would she lock you up the entire night when she knows you?”
Oliver smiled awkwardly and said nothing more. He could never tell Hailey what had happened that night.
Honestly, he did not expect Sienna to be a police officer and a leader at that..
He had always thought she was a bar girl.
Hailey drove the car with a gloomy expression and soon fiercely said, “Go back, clean up, and make preparations. We’ll fly to Radford this afternoon.”
“You’re leaving already?”
Oliver was stunned for a moment and then nodded. “Okay. I’ll go back to get my documents and say hello to my parents
and sister. Um, how long will we be gone, Ms. Fox?”
“Seven or eight days at least and a month at most,” Hailey said coldly.
Oliver nodded silently again. He was used to Hailey’s cold and proud personality.
“Ms. Fox, you can drop me off at the food vendor in the east market. My car is still parked there. I will drive back and bring a bag with some clothes for changing.”
“Okay, I’ll go back to pack my luggage as well. You can go to my house later, and we’ll go to the airport together.”
As Oliver drove from the food vendor in the east market back to the mansion, Joanna was already done moving. Oliver asked about Jason’s condition and heard he was in a good mood. Oliver told his sister that he was going on a business trip for some time and to call him if anything happened.
Although they were already rich, their family did not own any luxury clothes or items. Oliver simply packed a few pieces of clothes. He did not even have a suitcase, so he put his clothes into a backpack. Oliver took a cab and headed toward Hailey’s place without driving his car.
In contrast, Hailey brought a big suitcase, wore sunglasses, and carried a Hermes bag.
After they got into the car, Hailey’s driver took them straight to the airport.
Oliver pondered and asked, “Ms. Fox, are we going to Radford for stone gambling?”
Hailey nodded with a rare gentle expression. “You can say that. It’s almost my grandma’s birthday, and I want to find the best jadeite to make a birthday gift for her. I need to go there for the best quality jadeite.”
Oliver did guess this because Radford and Taffledale were close to the Manchernius border, the country’s largest jadeite and jade stone distribution center.
Hailey seemed obsessed with finding a precious birthday gift for her grandmother.
The driver drove to the suburbs and arrived at the tollgate of the airport expressway when seven or eight people stopped the
car.
A man in his 20s led those people. From how he dressed and his temperament, he looked different from the others. He was quite attractive, but his expression was gloomy.
Hailey’s face darkened when she saw this man.
The man approached the car and knocked on the window beside Hailey.
Hailey lowered the window and asked coldly, “What do you want, Julian?”
Julian Xanders glanced at Oliver with a fake smile and said casually, “Where are you going, Hailey? My fiancée can go wherever she wants, but it’s still a bit inappropriate to go with another man.”
When Oliver heard that this man was Hailey’s fiancé, he felt inexplicably heartbroken but immediately explained, “I am the store manager of Ms. Hailey Fox’s shop. We are going on a business trip.”
Julian spat, “I didn’t ask you. Who let you speak?”
Oliver was stunned. He felt humiliated and wanted to punch him in the face.
