Chapter 366: The Hidden Family

The Hidden Family lived concealed among the mountains and forests. It was said that there were frequent conflicts among these families, but to ordinary people, the specifics of these affairs were unknown. For them, the Hidden Family was a taboo subject. It wasn't a matter of intolerance, but of fear-fear that offending someone from the Hidden Family might lead to disappearing without a trace.

Tina, resting her chin on her hands, pondered for a moment before asking, "Since you have no dealings with the Hidden Family, what's the deal with you and Paula?"

"Don't get me started! Paula was my cousin's classmate," Hayden replied with a grimace. "The White family, aware of the Ashbury families' aversion to the Hidden Family, initially placed Paula in a foster home within a side branch, so no one knew she was the young lady of the Hidden Family's White branch. It was only when she was fourteen and patented a combat aircraft that everyone found out about her."

Tina's eyes lit up, recognizing talent. Seeing her expression, Hayden grew even more morose and whispered, "Serena, can you just leave us alone? I can handle it myself." Tina raised an eyebrow, "Fine!"

However...

Hayden was probably lacking self-awareness! How could a girl like Paula, a genius who dared to love and hate, ever give up?

Seeing Tina agree, Hayden breathed a sigh of relief, but then he suddenly felt a deathly glare. His body stiffened.

After all the fuss with that woman, he had forgotten about Jared.

"Uh, Mr. Farrell, put today's bill on me, please, anything you need, just command," Hayden said, nodding and bowing, inwardly lamenting. How could he appease Mr. Farrell's anger?

Jared's lips curved into a mild smile, yet it carried an invisible threat, "Master Cohen, you say that, but how could I possibly command you?" Hayden, "..."

Please, just stop talking.
