Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Matthew retracted his paws like a cat and gave an embarrassed smile. “Don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes, what he clearly said was ‘Pretty girl, can you do me a favour and be my translator’?” And then seeing Hailey’s oblique glance, he argued, “Sorry, my Italian, 1 just happen to know that a little bit.” As soon as he finished, Hailey gave him a heavy slap on the shoulder and turned her head to the sommelier and said a few words that the crowd didn’t understand, while Owen and Kyle spontaneously curved up the corners of their mouth. The former was because he understood, and the latter was because …… he knew his sister better. She must have recommended Matthew to the sommelier. Since you also know Italian, then you should go. Matthew pulled a long face. “No, you don’t!”

The sommelier set his eyes on Matthew and sent him a friendly gesture of invitation. “Then I’d like to trouble this gentleman.” Matthew didn’t know what to say. He just wanted to show off in front of Hailey, but he didn’t expect to make a fool of himself instead. Still undeterred, he approached Hailey and said with a grin, “How can I steal your thunder for such a glamorous moment?” Hailey didn’t want to talk to him and slapped him on the back, saying in one simple word. “Go!” “Okay.” Matthew felt like his bones were shattered by her slap, and he gave in in seconds. Once inside the bar, he stopped being timid and thanked Hailey for giving him the opportunity to be in the limelight, and showed off his fluent Italian, which drew a round of applause. Kyle couldn’t help but laugh and said to Hailey, “This young master of the Holland family is quite interesting.” Hailey whispered, “He was probably a peacock in his previous life, spreading his feathers everywhere.” Kyle was overjoyed. What a sharp remark! As soon as Matthew left, the seat next to Hailey was empty, and Owen was able to get a seat next to her without a moment’s hesitation, and asked symbolically, “Is there no one here?” Without waiting for Hailey to open her mouth, he added, “Thank you.”

Then what the hell were you asking! Hailey didn’t bother to even look at him, even if she said one more word to him, she would be showing him respect. Kyle, being a rubberneck, as usual, whispered in her ear, “Old love, new love, all together, our Ms. Newman is too charming.” Hailey gave him a light punch, as her brother started to meddle in the mess! With such a handsome man as Matthew translating, business here was much better, and many people came to the originally empty area. All of them were women, so it was clear he was quite a ladies’ man. Hailey genuinely felt that Brook could have Matthew working as a host in The Nomad, because he was sure to be the signature there. Three people were suddenly seated in the seats directly opposite Hailey, making her eyebrows knit lightly. In addition to Eliza, there was a man and a woman. The man looked like he was in his fifties and the woman looked like she was in her forties, and the moment they sat down, their eyes both looked towards her. Their eyes immediately collided. The man looked very familiar to Hailey. Even though she had only seen him once since her marriage to Owen, she instantly recognised him. It was her former father-in-law, Owen’s father, Alan Long. Then, the one sitting beside him, who had a very similar temperament to Eliza, was probably his confidante, Maya Brown. How could they have come to Berny and attended the party too?

– Thoughts flashed through her brain like lightning, and Alan nodded at her across the air and smiled gently. Although he was a former father-in-law, Hailey and her former mother-in-law, Polly Moore, were like mother and daughter. But she had little friendship with Alan, not only that, but also she did not have a good feeling towards him because of his affair. She didn’t even bother with her ex-husband, let alone her ex-father-in-law. She just treated him as a stranger and with a light glance, she withdrew her gaze.

Alan didn’t care much about her indifference, but slowly shifted his gaze to his son, Owen Moore, and when he saw Owen sitting with Hailey, with his body close to her, Alan had an idea of what was going on. It seemed that despite the divorce, he was still emotionally attached to Hailey, Maya, however, was very dissatisfied with Hailey’s indifferent attitude and she approached Alan, whispering, “Is Ms. Newman face-blind and has forgotten about you, her father-in-law? Why is she ignoring people?” Even in her forties, Maya’s voice was still pleasant and lovely, and she was known as the “sweet voice” of Universal TV, speaking with a soft and sweet taste of pampering Alan’s expression remained unchanged, even tinged with a little sharpness, and said in his slightly deep voice, “Pay attention.” Her heart tightened slightly, and she quickly retracted her leaning body.

The sommelier was introducing the Chateau de Sceaux to the crowd, and he rattled on, with Matthew, the translator next to him. diligently translating for him. “As known, Queen Elizabeth II is also a great fan of wine. This one, Chateau de Sceaux, is one of her favourites.” Matthew’s translation was decent, but his command of the Italian language was only adequate for everyday communication, and he was unable to help with the technical terms used by the sommelier. Seeing that the atmosphere was about to come to a standstill again, Hailey shook her glass of red wine and calmly took over. “This wine, with its bright purple-red colour, dominated by red fruit aromas such as raspberry and strawberry, is smooth and structured in the mouth, and also gives off smoky and coffee aromas with a long finish.” With that, she lightly raised her glass and took a sip before nodding. “It is indeed good, you may all try it.” The crowd smiled and tasted it. Kyle lightly took a sip and tasted it carefully. “Well, it’s not bad, order two bottles back for Nicholas to try.” Hailey said, “Let’s add four more bottles and send them to our brothers to try.”

“Does Karl need it? What wine doesn’t he have in his winery?” “Yes,” Hailey said in a serious manner, “If he likes it, he will ask the winemaker to make it, so we won’t have to pay for it if we want to have more in the future.” Kyle’s eyes lit up. “Such a brilliant idea!” Still a smart girl. They all wanted to take advantage of Karl, but they usually couldn’t. Only Hailey was invincible with him and could take advantage of him in any way she wanted.

Matthew propped his hand on the table and looked at Hailey, his eyes tilted up and his gaze darted around. “Amazing, you can be a professional translator with your language skills, why don’t you consider a part-time job at the Graduate School of Interpretation?” She said indifferently, “They can’t afford to hire me.”

Kyle interrupted, “She went to work part-time at Graduate School of Interpretation at the age of sixteen to make money and hosted international conferences. She could make more money in just one conference than the money I earned from surgery in a month.” Matthew froze. He looked at Hailey with wide eyes. “Sixteen years old and you can host an international conference, are you still human?” She smiled proudly. “Just a mediocre little language genius.” This woman was overly arrogant and beautiful at the same time!

Owen looked over sideways, with his eyes overflowing with light.
