Chapter 17

Hailey nodded and stopped talking. She pulled Oliver out without saving any respect for Charlie.

Her attitude was a clear indicator of her dissatisfaction with Charlic.

Charlie stammered and asked Jared, “Jared… Jared, who-who is she?”

Jared stared at Charlie for a few seconds until the latter shuddered under the intense stares. Jared then said, “Charlie, you made trouble for your father. You’ve messed with the wrong person! Do you know who she is?”

Charlie became more and more guilty. “Who-Who is she?”

Jared said nonchalantly, “Her name is Hailey Fox. She’s the only daughter of Gunther Fox, the richest man in this city. Her uncle is Xavier Scotts, the Chairman and general manager of Manstar Property Group. How dare you show off your wealth to her?”

Charlie’s face instantly paled and flushed with embarrassment.

His family wealth paled in comparison to Hailey’s. Yet, he showed off in front of her and sneered at her for wearing fake!

Worse still, Hailey called her uncle directly after he brought out his father’s name.

Charlie’s heart turned as cold as a block of mysterious ice, weighing heavily with a sense of despair.

Charlie, feeling numb, couldn’t help but plead with Jared. “Jared, please… Could you tell Hailey-”

Jared refused, “I can’t help you with this. I’m leaving!”

Jared left without hesitation, while Charlie stood behind with a dazed expression.
