Chapter 198
Love Is Fair
Chapter 198 Chris could not help but complain about Halley when he left the hospital. âMs. Newman, why did you have to tell Jason about you and Mr. Moore? He canât afford to be shocked in his current condition.â Hailey said indifferently, âThereâs nothing that grandpa hasnât seen, he has been capable of weathering the storms no matter the situation, this little thing of mine is nothing compared with what he had been through.â On second thoughts, Chris seconded what Hailey said. When the old man heard that Hailey had gotten married and divorced, he was only briefly surprised for a moment, and then asked with a sullen face. âWhat did Owen Moore do to you? Spill it out, grandpa will make it right for you!â Jason was protective of his granddaughter, and he loved being her daddy bear. In short, whatever happened, it must be Owenâs fault. His precious eldest granddaughter was so well behaved and such virtuous a girl, how could she be the one to blame? âBut â¦â¦â Ava said, âSince grandpa knows that you and Owen have that kind of history, will he still work with Mazedew Group again?â Hailey looked wide-
eyed. âThat depends on what he is capable of. Since heâs the one always for nepotism, I can also stop that. Letâs see whoâll have the last laugh.â
In the ward, it was completely dark. As soon as Hailey left, the old man, who had been sleeping peacefully, suddenly woke up, borrowed a phone from the care worker and slowly dialled a string of numbers written down on yellowing paper. The moment the call was answered, Jason cursed, âJacob Moore, you old bastard, what have you done to let your bastard grandson, bully my granddaughter!â âWho is my granddaughter? Who do you think my granddaughter is? Of course itâs Hailey, you stupid bastard! Alzheimerâs dementia, right? If youâre demented, go to the hospital!â âI donât care, you have to give me an explanation for this so that that bastard Owen can be held countable for my granddaughter!â âYouâll see, Iâm going to North City in a few days, and Iâll settle this score with you!â After saying that, he hung up the phone with a snap. The nurse was transfixed by Jasonâs anger â¦â¦ The old man was nothing but fine, how come he suddenly became furious? One phone call was not enough, he slowly dialled another series of numbers, ready to lash out his anger.
Mr. Sharman was old and a light sleeper. When he finally fell asleep but was woken up by the phone, he said in no good mood, âWho is it?»
âWho is it? Itâs me! Your grandpa!â He recognised his good brotherâs voice and his anger subsided, then he answered lazily, âMy grandpa has been dead for many years, are you calling from hell?â âDamn it, donât joke with me, Iâm very angry now!â Jason growled. âI can tell.â Wiselie Sharman yawned. âArenât you being well taken care of by your precious granddaughters, whatâs the matter, theyâre too annoyed with you and donât want you anymore?â âFuck off! Youâre the one whoâs annoying! My granddaughters are much more decent than you! Youâre a widowed old man with no granddaughters, you wouldnât understand.â The two men argued as they spoke. Wiselie shorted coldly. âI donât have any granddaughters, but I have apprentices. Youâve worked so hard to raise your children, but none of them is good to you, and the only good one was even kicked out of your home.â The two old men were stabbing each other. Jason let out a stern cry. âItâs your asshole apprentice Iâm going to scold now!â
âHm? Is it Owen? Whatâs the deal with him?â Jason yrunted heavily. âWhatâs the deal? Let me tell you, Iâm a man of principle, but when it comes to my granddaughter, I have no principles anymore! You tell your little precious apprentice to keep a ticht rein on himself, if he wants me to work on his project and help him make money, fine, but the money earned from this project must be divided into half for my granddaughter, I donât care if she wants it or not, I will fight for her!â âYou mean Hailey â¦â¦â When he knew it was Hailey that Jason was talking about, he suddenly felt Jasonâs fury was justified. And he cursed his silly apprentice for doing such a terrible thing, and in the end, he had to share the blame for what Owen had done, âFine, itâs just money, Iâll talk to Owie, Iâll tell him to give Hailey a little more, as alimony.â Wiselie said nicely, but to his surprise, Jason exploded upon hearing this.
15:32 Screw alimony, my granddaughter got me to support, why should your apprentice support her? What I want him to pay for is the emotional damage!â Wiselie felt his ears were going deaf and his head was buzzing. âAll right, all right, donât shout, donât you know youâve just been saved from the jaws of death?
Iâll make him pay for the emotional damage!â There was more bickering for quite a while before he hung up the phone. Only after scolding the two unreliable old foxes did Jason feel that the evil fire in his chest had finally dissipated, and he handed the phone back to the care worker with a smile on his face.
âDonât say anything to my granddaughter.â When Hailey got the call from the care worker, she was on her way to the airport for her evening flight to North City. After hearing the report, Hailey replied, âGot it.â Once she hung up, she felt her heart warming up and the corners of her mouth curved up. âThis old man â¦â¦â At the same time, Owen also received phone calls from Jacob Moore and Wiselie Sharman, and he was lambasted twice in a row. Matthew listened by his side, gloating. When Owen hung up the phone, Matthew smirked up at him, âScolded again? Youâve noticed that since you and Hailey divorced, you have become inexplicably nasty, and youâre unwelcomed anywhere you go. Itâs true that Hailey is a lucky star, and itâs also true that after the divorce youâve obviously gone downhill.â âWill you just shut up?âOwen said coldly, âI think youâre quite annoying too.â Matthew didnât care what he thought and simpered, âIt doesnât matter if you hate me, just that Hailey likes me.â Owen didnât bother to pay attention to him when Jose came knocking on the door. âMr. Moore, the car is ready, you and Mr.
Holland can leave now.â Matthew carried a black bag and headed out, leaning on Owen like he had no bones, waiting for the lift, turning melancholy within a second. âI really donât know what it will be like to see Harrison Bush when we go to Berny, I heard he was hurt quite badly, also paraplegic, similar to your situation back then, and I donât know if he will ever recover?â As he was saying, he sighed, âMy dear comrade, what a terrible time you had!â Owen said in a deep voice, âI guess it depends, doesnât it?â Matthew nodded his head in a rare moment of seriousness, entered the lift, and said with interest, âHey, I heard that the doctor who operated on Harrison this time is the same doctor who operated on you back then.â Owenâs eyes flashed and he gave a faint yes. âThen it should be no problem! You were so badly injured back then, but after Dr. Graceâs miracle-working, youâre much alive and kicking now, arenât you? Harrison will be fine too!â Matthew suddenly became confident and filled with curiosity. âI wonder what that Dr. Grace looks like, sheâs said to be a very young and beautiful woman.â
Owen looked obscure and unsure, giving Matthew a sidelong glance. âRemember to put on your glasses, make sure you can see.â âDonât worry.â Matthew said, âMy eyesight is so keen that I can definitely see everything!â âWell, good luck.â Owen returned his sincere blessing to him.
Matthewâs right eyelid teased, somehow, he suddenly had an ominous feeling then.
