Chapter 261: Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Did He Hurt Harry?

Even though Waylon was Gavyn’s good friend, he was not used to the latter’s sharp gaze.

He turned his head and straightened his neck. “Never mind. Don’t ask.”

Gavyn stared at Waylon coldly from behind. Waylon felt like Gavyn’s gaze was boring a hole into his back.

The atmosphere was tense, and Gavyn said lightly, “About the tender project in the east of the city...”

Alas! He likes to threaten me! Waylon hurriedly turned his head and pulled on his hair in annoyance. “Tell me, and I’ll tell you!

You only know how to threaten me...

He glanced at Gavyn angrily and reluctantly told the story in his memory.

“When I was young, my grandpa took me to a banquet held by the Gardner family. I saw him there. I... I thought he was a girl because he was so beautiful.”

Waylon rubbed his nose and coughed awkwardly.

“I wanted to play house with him. I wanted to be the father, and he wanted to be the mother. I was young at that time, and I wanted to kiss a young girl or something... But the kid was hot-tempered, and he chased me around the living room and beat me up! I’m not kidding!”

Upon hearing that, Gavyn frowned and glanced at Waylon. “You deserved to be beaten up.”

Unhappy, Waylon protested, “Hey, what’s with the look in your eyes? What can a child know? I was too ignorant!”

Gavyn ignored Waylon’s shouting. He lowered his eyes and contemplated. “You met him at the Gardner family’s banquet, and he’s surnamed Gardner. Is he from the Gardner family?”

The young heir of the Gardner family was Aylin’s brother. So... Did he hit his brother-in-law?

Gavyn felt that the coincidence was a bit absurd. “Impossible!”

Waylon frowned and denied Gavyn’s guess. He took a sip of his coffee and said in a deep voice, “I know the Gardner family better than you. Their patriarch has two grandsons in the next generation. The eldest one took over the company, and the younger one is racing. Family names don’t mean anything.”

Gavyn furrowed his brows. If he’s not from the Gardner family, then what is Harry’s identity?

Upon seeing him pondering, Waylon told him what he knew very generously. “But I also know a little about this best actor.”

Gavyn looked up and said, “Say it.”

Waylon leaned closer and said mysteriously, “I heard from my friends in the entertainment industry that Harry has secretly asked someone to look for a girl, and it took a lot of effort. As for who that girl is and what her relationship with him is, he kept it a secret.”

Gavyn’s expression changed when he heard that.

Harry had asked someone to look for a girl. Could it be that he was looking for Aylin back then? Did they know each other so early?

Gavyn frowned. His expression was cold, and he felt uncomfortable.

Gavyn was in a bad mood, and Haleigh felt even worse.

“I’m so angry!”

As soon as Haleigh entered the house, she stormed straight into Carmen’s bedroom and slammed her bag onto the bed.

Carmen was putting on makeup when her hand trembled. She had misplaced a line on her made-up face. “Mom, what’s wrong?”

“I’m so angry! Today, I specially invited the daughter of a good family out for dinner for the sake of your brother’s marriage. Who knew? It’s such a small world. I ran into Aylin!” Haleigh glanced at Carmen’s eyebrows in disgust, poured herself a glass of water, and gulped it down, suppressing her anger. “I met Harry and wanted to ask him for an autograph, but... Alas! I’m about to explode with anger when I think about it!”

Carmen was startled when she heard that. She hurriedly wiped away her eyebrows and moved closer. Her eyes flickered. “Wait, Mom! The ‘Harry’ you’re talking about... Is he the best actor?”

“That’s him!”

“Isn’t he abroad? Why is he here?”

Harry’s fame as the best actor was world-renowned. All the ladies from the upper-class circle who were interested in films and television were fascinated by him.

Carmen was no exception. She had wanted to meet Harry for a long time, but she had had no chance.

It was as if Haleigh had met her idol. She grinned from ear to ear. “Do you want an autograph?”

“What the hell?”

Then, Haleigh took a deep breath and said angrily, “I didn’t get the autograph, and the vixen messed up the matchmaking for your brother! I don’t know what tricks the seductress used, but Harry protected her... She’s so smug – damn it!”

“She knows the best actor?” Carmen frowned as she felt uneasy.

She had never even met Harry before. How could Aylin, a narrow-minded and vulgar woman, know the best actor, Harry? Why!

“This bitch is everywhere. She haunts me!” Carmen gritted her teeth and frowned. “What happened next?”

As soon as Haleigh remembered the scene just then, she got furious and scrunched her old face covered in makeup. “Later, your brother came and pissed me off!”

“My brother got there? Isn’t that a good thing? He was there to back you up!”

Carmen clapped her hands.

“Bullshit!” Haleigh was not in a good mood. She took a deep breath, her eyes almost glinting with hatred. “Your brother was bewitched by Aylin. I kept winking at him, but he ignored me. And he said it’s all my fault!” She slapped her own thigh. “Ouch...

Listen. Was that how your brother was supposed to interact with his mother? How could he be like that just now? He was instigated by Aylin! Is he crazy?”

Aylin had first stolen Waylon and then hooked up with Harry. Even Carmen’s own brother was not on her side anymore; she couldn’t stand it anymore!

Why? Why should all men be around her?

The mother and daughter instantly reached a consensus. Haleigh took Carmen’s hand and said angrily, “Carmen, you’re the only one who can help me now. We have to think of a solution and teach her a hard lesson. Otherwise, she will climb and step over us!”

She had oppressed and humiliated Aylin for three years, and she must not allow the tables to be turned on her!

Carmen gritted her teeth in anger and held Haleigh’s hand tightly. “Mom, don’t worry. How dare a divorced useless woman be so arrogant? Sooner or later...”

Halfway through her sentence, Carmen suddenly paused. Divorced?

Haleigh was confused. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Carmen said excitedly, “Mom, I’ve thought of a good idea!
