Chapter 19

Chapter 019 A Man With Lies In the suite, Matthew looked at the mirror in the bathroom and touched the corner of his mouth that had turned green. He hissed.

“How many years has it been since we last met? Is this how you greet me after not seeing me for so long? Seriously, bro?”

Matthew looked at the extremely cold man sitting on the sofa with an aggrieved expression. Owen pursed his lips and fell silent. His mind was now filled with the image of Hailey just now. What happened earlier kept replaying in his mind. Every word she said echoed in his ears. That bright and arrogant appearance. Those cold and mocking words.

Was she really Hailey Byrne? He fell into deep suspicion. Matthew sat opposite him, lit a cigarette, and continued to complain, “I just got beaten up by your wife last night, and I got punched by you again this morning. I’m really unlucky. You two make a perfect match. So the question is, why did you divorce all of a sudden?” “Ex-wife.” Owen raised his eyes and coldly said two words. He was correcting the words ‘your wife” Matthew said. Matthew almost choked on a mouthful of smoke. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Owen. “If she is your ex-wife, why do you care so much? As soon as I said that she is in Poya, you rushed over overnight? You can be frank with me, you know.” Owen frowned and ignored his gloating ridicule. “Cut the crap. Who exactly is Hailey Byrne?” “Hailey Byrne? Her real name is Hailey Newman.” Matthew opened a bottle of red wine and poured two glasses. He met Owen’s cold eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He looked at his old friend who had been cheated for three years with sympathy and could not bear to tell him. She is the CEO of Crystaldale Company, Hailey Newman.” The name ‘Hailey Newman’ was like a bomb. It exploded in Owen’s ears, making him confused. All the details and doubts intertwined together were finally connected into a line.

The person who disappeared and reappeared out of thin air finally had her identity revealed Hailey Newman. So, this was her true identity.

Seeing her ex-husband early in the morning, Hailey was in a complicated mood.

As a result, when she saw Luca in the office, her mood became even worse, especially with the fact that he was sitting on her chair and calling out her name with a smile.

Hailey felt goosebumps all over her body. She was disgusted. “Who let him in?” Hailey asked coldly.

“I’m sorry, Miss Newman. This is my mistake. I’ll deal with it right away.” The general assistant, Chris Marsh, apologized. He called the security guards to come up and forcibly dragged Luca away. When Luca saw that the situation was serious, he immediately stood up from her office chair. He squeezed out a smile and walked toward Hailey. “Why. Hailey? Why are you asking me to leave? I just came.” His tone was humming and hawing, like a grown man trying to act like a spoiled girl. He didn’t know if Hailey would succumb to this trick, but he was going to try anyway as she was about to kick him out. After three years, this man became more disgusting. Seeing that Luca was about to step in front of her, Hailey frowned and said coldly, “Stay away from me. You disgust me.”

Luca couldn’t hold his face any longer because of her harsh words. He was the prince of Freaktube Group, and now he was the CEO. Many young girls were throwing themselves at him, wanting to be his. Only Hailey wasn’t interested in him.

But all these years, he was tired of those ladies like Eve, who were obedient to him. He wanted someone who was fiery like Hailey. It was more exciting!

There was still gauze on Luca’s forehead. He was beaten by Hailey in the rose garden that day, but it was very clear that this man did not hold a grudge. He even rushed forward with a shy face. He stood three steps away from Hailey and stared at her extremely beautiful face. He only felt that she was too pleasing to the eye, and he almost drool. The Edwards family and the Newman family were old friends, so Luca and Hailey grew up together. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts. Out of the three girls of the Newmans, Hailey was the most beautiful one. She was born a beauty. It was said that the appearance of girls would change drastically when they grow up. The pretty ones might not necessarily look good when they grew up. However, not only did Hailey grow up gracefully, but she also became even more beautiful. Outgrowing her baby fat, her body was very well defined, and her figure grew sexier.

With a hint of arrogance and charm, just looking at her made Luca’s heart skip a beat. He had the urge to hold her down and eat her up!

“Hailey, I know you misunderstood me, so I came here today to explain what happened that year.”

Luca was serious, especially after the security guard came up. “I’m serious! What happened that year was all planned by Eve. She cheated me!”

Hailey looked at him coldly. She knew that this scum was here to talk crap, but when she heard that he threw the blame on Eve, she wanted to hear what he had to say She waved her hand to gesture to the security guard and assistant to leave. “You guys can leave for now.”

“I’ll give you five minutes. Tell me what you need to say.” Just as Luca was about to take a seat on the sofa, Hailey shot him a glare. “Did I tell you to sit?” His buttocks were half hanging in the air. Luca looked at Hailey’s cold face with embarrassment. He told himself that he had to endure if he wanted to get the girl. Women had to be coaxed slowly. “Alright, alright. I’ll stand.” Luca straightened his clothes, stood up straight in front of Hailey, and prepared a mouth full of sweet words. “Hailey, I haven’t seen you for three years. I miss you so much…” “You don’t have to say nonsense. I don’t like to hear them.”

Hailey took out her mobile phone to set the timer and put it aside. “You still have four and a half minutes left.”

A timer could make someone inexplicably anxious. Luca gulped and put aside all his sweet words and started to explain himself with the speech he had planned.

“Three years ago, it was Eve who took the initiative to seduce me! You probably don’t know that your seemingly harmless cousin has always been jealous of you. Whether it is your beauty or your identity as the First Young Lady of the Newmans. Of course, what she is most jealous of is that you have my love… In the name of love, she lied to me to ask you out for a hike. She said that she wanted to confess her feelings to me in front of you so that she could compete with you fairly.” At this point, Luca sighed. “It was my fault for being soft-hearted. Seeing that she was really pitiful, I agreed to her unreasonable request. But you must believe that I love you! The reason why I agreed with her was that I wanted to tell her in front of your face that the only person I love is you, forever and always. But, who would have thought that Eve would be so vicious? She took my phone and sent you a message to ask you to go for a hike. Actually, she planned to kill you. The reason why I didn’t go that day was that she drugged me, and I was asleep for a day. When I woke up, I found out about your death.”

His eyes were red. Luca walked toward Hailey, squatted in front of her, and grabbed her hand “But thank the heavens that you are still alive, Hailey. You are still right in front of my eyes. Let’s get back together again, shall we?”
