Chapter 146

Chapter 146 A Mysterious Brother “Wow… You hit me too hard.” Matthew looked at himself in the mirror, his face covered with bruises. With a grimace, he glanced at Hailey sadly. Hailey had no sense of guilt and even thought that she was too nice to him. “You asked for it. Don’t blame it on me.” Hailey felt sorry for the paintings and calligraphy on the wall, which were much more valuable than Matthew.

Matthew knew that he shouldn’t expect too much from Hailey. But he didn’t expect that Hailey would treat him like this as if he had no charm in front of her. And she even refused to give him a baby. He put a band-aid on his broken cheek and furrowed in pain. “Since you have five brothers, I thought you can’t be averse to that kind of thing. Who knew you would be so squeamish about it…” Without waiting for him to finish his words, Hailey interrupted him coldly, “Is there anyone else who knows about my five brothers beside you and Owen?”. “I don’t know about that. But I don’t think there’s anyone else. Come on. Your file is so hard to decipher. Even I can’t decrypt it, let alone anyone else.” Matthew glanced at Hailey and seemed to see the murderous intent in her eyes. He gave an unconscious shiver and became wary, “What?

Are you going to kill me to keep your secret?” “That’s not a bad idea.” Hailey said coolly, “After all, the people who knew this secret, basically have all died. Even if I’m fine with it, my five brothers won’t allow the thing to happen. So you’d better be careful when you walk alone at night.” Matthew had been still playful before that moment. Hearing this, he felt heavy and worried about his life. In fact, the reasons that he didn’t want to follow the case with Owen were, on the one hand, his poor hacking skills compared to Hailey’s, and on the other hand, the intricacy of the case. Hailey had five brothers with different surnames, which was shocking enough. So far, he still only knew the identity of four of them. Her second brother was Jared Gomez, the son of a powerful family. Her third brother was Randal Hodges, a popular movie star. Her fourth brother was Kyle Watson, an internationally famous doctor. Her fifth brother was Brook Kirkland, the seventh son of the Kirkland family, the top hacker. There was also a mysterious brother, whose identity they had not yet figured out. All of them were born rich or noble and were at the top of all walks of life. They seemed to have no connection, but the truth they were siblings.

When seeing their file, Matthew and Owen were shocked, and they speculated that Mrs. Newman was not an ordinary person. Yet that Mrs. Newman was even more mysterious. No one knew his background. She was totally the opposite of Scott Newman, who had lived in a rather high-profile way.

Though hardly showed up in the public, she contributed a lot to the Newman Group. However, from all known signs, Mrs. Newinan didn’t seem to have been married six times and had six children respectively. So they speculated that it was possible that she had donated her eggs that made Hailey have five brothers with different surnames. But there was still one thing they didn’t understand… If a man was impotent or didn’t want to marry, and he just wanted to have a child, perhaps he would have his child in this way.

But according to their information, this was not the case. They didn’t know much about the Hodges family and the Watson family. But the Gomez family and the Kirkland family were big families, both of which had many children. It was not reasonable that they all had children through special methods.

Listening to Matthew narrating his shocks and his doubts, Hailey showed no expression on her face.

Her eyes turned gloomy and cold gradually. “Are you done? You guys really have a lot of free time. Why are you so interested in other people’s family affairs? Don’t you know that curiosity might be your poison?” Hailey said coldly, “Matthew, I’ll give you a piece of advice. You’d better keep everything you know a secret. And don’t forget to tell your brother. Do not cross the line.” Matthew took two dry swallows. Hailey continued, “My temper is bad. And I can’t even say that I’m a nice guy. And my brothers are worse than me.” Hailey looked over, “I’ll forget today’s incident. After you walk through this door, everything that happened here will be over. Never mention it again. I don’t want to be your enemy and don’t make me your enemy.

Seeing her expression and hearing her statement, Matthew felt frozen He felt he couldn’t even move his feet. He then realized that she was really angry.

Owen entered the study room and stood in front of old Mr. Moore’s desk. Old Mr. Moore didn’t seem to pay attention to him, and he said in an aggressive voice, “Just say what you want. Spit it out and get out.” “Grandpa, you and Master Jade, are you old friends?” Owen didn’t want to piss his grandfather off. So he stated his intention directly. Old Mr. Moore was not surprised by his question and asked, “You want to work with Master Jade?” “Yes. Some of our products are still not launched yet. I think if I can contact Master Jade, even if it’s just a co-branding, maybe I can relaunch the business.” Old Mr. Moore smiled bul shook his head, “I’m afraid it’s very difficult. According to my understanding, Master Jade has always been a maverick. I am surprised that this time she chose to cooperate with Newman Group.” Owen wrinkled his brow, “You mean, maybe Master Jade is just a smokescreen put out by Newman Group?” “Possibly. Alter all, Master Jade hasn’t been introduced to the public until now.”

Owen pondered and asked again, “You have seen Master Jade when she was a child, right?” “Mr.

Sharman told you about it, right? i knew It was hlin.” Old Mr Moore grumbled discontentedly, “I have seen her But it was many years ago. Besides, at that time, Jade was still a little girl. She hadn’t gone through teenager hood. And now she must have changed.” “I heard from Old Vincent that you have two pieces of Master Jade in your collection. Can you show them to me?” Somehow, Owen had a vaque sense of foreboding in his heart. There was a kind of destiny between Master Jade and him. He had an intuition that they would meet one day. Old Mr. Moore wrinkled his eyebrows, with an indescribable regret look on his face, “I did collect some of them. But a few years ago the family’s business was not running too well. And your uncle failed in his investment, owing people a lot of money, begging me. I don’t have a choice. I had to sell a few things out.”

Owen’s heart thumped, “Were there Master Jade’s works?” “Master Jade’s works have always been priceless. They are worth collecting and they can appreciate in value. I had never intended to sell them.

But the buyers were fancy about Master Jade’s work.” Old Mr. Moore had no other choices. And till that moment he still had a twinge of heartache when he thought about it. Owen’s heart pounded with disappointment, and it looked like his visit was vain again. “But as far as I know, the original buyer hasn’t sold it yet. Now that Master Jade is such a hit at the moment, I guess the price is several times higher.” Owen’s eyes lit up slightly, “Who bought it?” “A well-known collector in Nalence.” Old Mr. Moore looked through the drawer and found a business card, handing it to his grandson. Owen took it, looked at the address on it, said thank you, and was about to go out. But as soon as he turned around, he saw his mother, Mrs. Polly Moore, who was sitting in a wheelchair at the entrance of the study room. Polly looked at her son, not even bothering to say a word to him. She asked directly, “Hailey’s birthday is coming up in a week. What are you going to do?” .
