Chapter 214

Chapter 214 An Exciting Game Boom! When Chris threw a hard punch at Reid’s cheek, the flesh on the latter’s face shuddered violently. Reid felt his teeth loosening, and it was so painful that he almost had a blackout Chris shook his hand and smiled evilly, “Mr. Newman, how does it feel?” “You bastard! How dare you hit your girlfriend’s father!” Reid stared at Chris with blurry eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said, “I know you like my daughter! Aren’t you afraid that I will prevent her from marrying you?” Chris sneered, “Ava has disowned you! Why do I need to worry about such things? Besides, she is now an adult, and you don’t have custody of her anymore. So, it does not matter whether you like me or not!” “You son of a…” Before he could finish scolding, Chris punched him in the face again and said coldly, “These two punches are for Ava. If you dare to hit her again, I swear I will beat the sh*t out of you! I promise even your father will be unable to recognize you then!”

Walking out of the hospital, Hailey asked, “Chris, how is Reid?” Chris answered truthfully, “I didn’t hit him very hard…” Seeing her glance over, he added, “But it was not a light punishment.” Hearing this, Hailey was satisfied, continued to walk forward, and said, “I’ll leave Ava to you. You must protect her well from now on.

Don’t let anyone bully her. If she gets hurt, I’ll punish you.” “Yes!” Chris responded without hesitation.

After they got in the car, they headed for the Edwards family, Chris turned his head back in the passenger seat and said, “Ms. Newman, are we going to save Eve from the Edwards family? To be honest, she has been led astray by Morgan. No matter how you help her, she won’t thank you at all.” “I know. I didn’t intend to take her home before.” Looking at the report about the Freaktube Group on the tablet, Hailey swiped on the screen lightly and said in a deep voice, “But what my grandpa said is quite right. Only the Newmans can discipline our family members. Others have no right to bully the Newmans.” Chris knew both Old Mr. Newman and Hailey were protective of their family, so he stopped persuading her but said, “The Freaktube Group has made a lot of movements recently. They have been making trouble for Crystaldale all the time. It seems they are eager to do something big.” Hailey nonchalantly smiled, carelessly looked at the Freaktube Group’s stock, and said, “Crystaldale has kept a low profile in recent years, so the Freaktube Group has inade a lot of money. No wonder the Edwards family is so arrogant. What does the old saying say? Those whom God wishes to destroy he drives mad. Luca and his father are getting carried away.” She tapped her finger on the stock chart on the tablet and said with her eyes flashing with coldness, “I will give them a thrill. I like playing exciting games the most.”

After coming out of North City Airport, Owen returned to the Moores’ old residence instead of Moore Mansion. Then, he went to the study to report to Steven about Mazedew Jewelry’s new project. Steven listened for a while and directly pointed out his immediate purpose, asking, “Do you want to reform?”

Owen stood upright in front of the desk, drooped his eyes slightly, and said, “It sounds a little too serious to call it a reformation, but we have to admit that Mazedew Jewelry’s current business model is out of date. If things go on like this, we will eventually be knocked out by our competitors.” He methodically stated the current problems of Mazedew Jewelry and the current market situation, and then, he frankiy admitted his mistakes. “Because of my mistake, the ‘One Heart for Life’ project has not started smoothly. The market trend is unpredictable. After we wasted nearly a month, Crystaldale Jewelry has already successfully launched their new products before us.” Owen said, “If we follow our original project plan, our products will not have any competitive advantages in terms of design and innovation. Even if we continue, I am alraid the results will not be very good.” Steven said with a gloomy face, “Didn’t you go to talk to the Father of Newman for cooperation? Master Jade refused to cooperate with you. What about the Father of Newman?” “He has not given me a clear answer yet.”

Steven snorted, “It is not surprising You hurt his granddaughter so much. Im I were Jason, I would never cooperate with you! He has always been protective of his family and loves his precious granddaughters the most. I don’t think he will agree.” Speaking of this, Steven couldn’t help sighing with a bitter smile, “What a small world!

Jason’s eldest granddaughter turned out to be my ex-granddaughter-in-law. But it’s a pity that she is not my family anyinore.” And then, he raised his head and scolded, “It is all your fault! You should have cherished Hailey! It’s been so long! Is there any progress . + 10 between you?” Owen pursed his lips in silence. At the thought of her saying that she was too tired to love him, he felt a sting in his heart. “Stop it! Don’t force him anymore.” Abby walked in with a plate of plumis, tanned her husband with a big fan, and said, “I told you that you can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink. And it is impossible to restore a broken mirror. Haven’t you learned a lesson from Polly and Alan’s matter?” Steven glared at her and said, “Don’t mention that bastard! I’ll be angry as soon as hearing his name! He ruined my daughter’s life. If it weren’t for Owen’s sake, I would have…” “Shut up! Don’t talk about those things in front of Owen.” Looking at Owen’s pale face, Abby felt sorry for him, so she handed the plate to him and said, “Your mother is waiting for you in the room. I guess she has something to tell you. She has been uncomfortable with her legs recently but refused to go to the hospital. Take her to see the doctor when you have time.” Owen nodded in agreement. When he entered the room with the plate, Polly was kneading her legs with a painful face.

When he saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He then retracted his hand that was about to knock on the door, hurried up to her, and asked, “Do your legs hurt again?” He put the plate on the table, half knelt and then began to massage his mother’s legs.

Polly restrained her bitter expression and said lightly, “I’m fine. It’s been cloudy and humid recently. It’ll be OK in a few days.” “You always make up such reasons. Although I was not in North City, I checked the weather forecast. The past few days were sunny. You lied about the cloudy weather.” When Owen looked up at Polly, their alike eyes met. Then, she looked away in embarrassment. He continued massaging her legs and said in a decisive tone, “I will accompany you to Municipal Hospital tomorrow.

You should have a medical check as soon as possible.”

Polly didn’t say a word, acquiescing to his decision. She then lowered her eyes to look at her son who was kneeling in front of her and silently massaging her legs. She had not seen such a scene for a long time. Suddenly remembering something, she smiled slightly, “Hailey had massaged me for the past three years. Her force was moderate, so I felt very comfortable.” Owen was speechless. After being compared and outshone, he paused his massage and said lightly, “You may have no chance to let her knead your legs anymore. I am not as skilled as her, but you can only try to get used to it.” Polly blinked slightly, thinking she had heard a hint of jealousy. Was her stupid son jealous of Hailey?
